Laundry is sort of done. Groceries are waiting until payday. Dishes are done. Menus not planned yet. Nap…in a couple of hours. Blog maintenance and posting the drafts from Wed-Sat are about to begin. If you’re reading me in Google reader, I sincerely apologize for posting the drafts late. I hope to be back up …
Real Life
Finally, the day arrived. After a long week with school, home refinancing issues, other banking issues, it’s finally the end of the week and I’m staring at a great weekend. A few of my favorite NON-FOOD related things I used this week. 1. Busy Body Book. I write everything down in here that I plan. …
The front page of the Tuscaloosa News. It was a great night and after the first half, when I spent my time stress eating junk food and biting hangnails, I really enjoyed the game! I was beyond irritated at every ESPN commentator showing their bias for LSU and the blatant Bama hatred, but the best …
My 46 day streak of wearing Alabama Crimson Tide shirts/scarves/pants/hats will come to an end tomorrow. I didn’t wear a shirt every day, all day, but at some point during the past 46 days, I had on something representing my beloved Alabama. No matter what the outcome, I will proudly wear my Alabama shirt tomorrow …
I’m still in a new year cleaning mode. Every year, it’s the same. Spring cleaning the house starts in January and it might be done by March. Then again, watching a commercial for an episode of Hoarders had me scrambling to clear any clutter out of way and led to nothing left in the main …
Goodbye 2011. Time for a new year, fresh start, starting over, and that overall feeling of pushing a reset button. Most of the time, these yippee feelings last about 2 weeks. Last year was an exception. Last year, I tried something different. Instead of making concrete resolutions about specific things, I went for goals or …
~ If it’s raining this hard, the only place I want to be is asleep. ~ Operation Extreme Makeover, Classroom edition starts in one hour. ~ I’m a little too excited about cleaning up my classroom. I need to get this excited about cleaning the “office” in my house. Office is the correct term for …
One week left. 7 days until Santa’s big dance. And I’m so not ready. I have a long list of things left to do. Cards? Monday night. Wrap presents? Monday night. Watch a gazillion more Christmas movies? I have the next 6 days. Baking? Done and more to come. Shopping? Just a few more things …
Bronchitis+running=stupidity. I had this grand idea to try a little short shuffle run to get the blood flowing and maybe help get rid of some of this junk in my lungs. Yeah, that wasn’t the smartest idea. But, it felt good to move the legs faster than a stroll. And I did cough a lot. …
~ don’t shoot me…but I’m ready for more cold weather. I should not sweat at work in December ~ I love holiday cooking and baking. I think I’ll do more tonight. ~ How to keep a room full of kindergarteners settled during the holiday? I have no idea since I can’t keep myself settled. ~ …
Apparently, I’m a big sucker for getting kicked in the gut. Snow began creeping into the forecast this past weekend and I ignored most of it. After last winter’s devastating fiasco in which I was denied the White Christmas AND the January Flizzard, I refused to get all worked up over a possible November snow. …
We survived. Not only did we survive, we scored some great deals and had a ton of laughs with this little guy. After I voiced my disappointment in how the morning got started, things got a lot better. By better, I mean we didn’t die, get shot, trampled, or woke up in a tub of …
My favorite day of the year is now upon us. Black Friday! I am currently sitting in the car with mom and Jackson while Stephen and Monica and Nick stand in line. I believe this is the first year I’m not in line. But that’s perfectly fine with me. I’m a wimp this year 🙂 …
Thanksgiving day was very low key and just the way I like it. We went camping with my brother and sister in law Wednesday night. Nothing fancy, no need to cook anything elaborate. Just grab a few staples and show up with pillows and camp blankets. Normally, the day is spent finishing up any cooking …
~ We have managed to wait until this week to put up the outside decorations. I hope my neighbors don’t mind the blazing lights. ~ I woke up craving protein instead of biscuits, waffles, pancakes. ~ Stephen walked in from work and handed me some coupon pages. One was for Logan’s Roadhouse, one was for …
~ Why do I picture Penn State in the Northwest when I know Pennsylvania is in the Northeast? ~ the Christmas decorations are going up at school today. I can’t deny it any longer. The commercials are out in full swing so it’s time to break out the lights. ~ I have a very unhealthy …
~ Football….could it be possible?? Any chance of a bama-lsu rematch? ~ The house is done! Top to bottom Christmas crap everywhere. It looks like Frosty, Rudolph, and Grinch went 5 rounds with Santa. ~ Penn State/Sandusky. Please. Get the guy in prison. They’re waiting for him. ~ I have a first gen ipod nano. …
~ not many random thoughts today. My head is exploding and it’s all I can think about. ~ medicine roulette begins. I can’t eat so my regular med is out of the question. ~ I heard a rumor that snow is falling a few states over. ~ I need to get a big pumpkin today …
~ Coffee is too difficult this morning. ~ Field trip. I need that coffee. ~ The early morning headache needs an eviction notice. ~ I have an unhealthy attachment to my new scarecrow. He’s adorable 🙂 ~ I’m ready for frost on my pumpkin. Unfortunately, I left my pumpkin in Mississippi. ~
Weird dreams about angry birds. Really?? ~ first day back to cross fit. I hope they remember me. ~ ready for cooler weather and body hiding clothes. Stylish of course. But good deep camouflage ~ calling 911 from a corn maze. Hilarious. And sad. ~ pregnant marathon lady is amazing. And forget trying to convince …
