Ten Things That Pop in My Head

Hello.


It has been a while and I have not be very good about blogging lately, so I don't know if anyone reads my blog anymore. I am trying to decide what role blogging plays in my life during this season. So, until I decide to abandon this all together, I 'll just keep on posting...random thoughts I am sure.


I'll start with ten things that pop in my head right now:).


1). I am reading this book:





What a challenging, witty and confirming book this has been. I am driving Dale nuts as I keep repeating lines and internal dialogues the author has throughout this book. Most of the time I read books super fast, but I have been slowly savoring this book for over a week, now (my record...except "To Kill a Mockingbird" that has stretched over months. I keep reading the same paragraphs over and over and get frustrated and toss it back down...grrr...).


2). Samantha loves avocados. Devours them. I think they smell like feet. Which brings me to number three...


3). I dislike feet. So summertime and flip-flop season is fun for me. Not.


4). I was blessed to get money from my birthday which I am hoarding. I do this every year, wanting to spend it on something indulgent. But usually I just swipe it little by little for McD's teas until it is all gone.


5). I finally finished cleanly out my closet tonight and piled all my maternity capris in the giveaway pile. I thought I could sneakily wear them this summer, but I realized I have stretched the "back porch" out too much to pass as "normal" capris. I cried a little 'cause they were SO comfortable.


6). Some friends and I are going through this book once a month: 

Well, today my family (not me 'cause the smell of that Fels Naptha was stin.k.y!) made homemade laundry soap at my mom's. 

I hope my HE washing machine doesn't explode or suds overtake my laundry room like that episode of  The Brady Bunch where Bobby was overtaken by laundry bubbles.


7). We have had Mexican every night this week. I didn't plan it that way, but wasn't paying attention. Then we went out to eat Friday night to, you guessed it, Mexican. My kids politely asked me to not have Mexican for a long while.


8). I always crave Mexican when I am pregnant. Which made me think this week...hmmm...but I am not:).


9). While helping my daughter prepare for college and visiting  campuses, I secretly wished I could go back. Without having to take the exams, or writing notes, or sitting through boring lectures, or lugging a backpack around...Nah...what was I thinking?


10). I just got up to get something in the kitchen and smelled something stin.k.y from the laundry room. Fels Naptha! I don't think I am going to be able to endure this homemade laundry detergent experiment:).
