Sunday List #27

I'm not feeling super original at the moment, so this weeks edition of the list will be 5 things that I want to do before I die (not like I plan on that happening any time soon or anything).

1. Go to Europe
2. Get into medical school.
3. Ride in a hot air balloon.
4. Learn to make a really great pie.
5. Run a marathon. Or maybe a half marathon...

So now it's your turn - what would you like to do?

RIP

There are few good surprises that occur at 2:00 am. Very few.

An unpleasant surprise?

Discovering that your refridgerator/freezer has died, and that all the food inside of said appliance has spoiled.



Please take a moment to mourn the several hundred dollars of uneaten and now spoiled and tossed-out food.

*Silence*

But never fear, all was not lost.



These little fellas were the only survivors.


I'm quite sure that this only happend because I was planning on having people over for dinner. The last time I had a dinner party, my kitchen sink developed a hole in the drain pipe and flooded the cabinet and kitchen. Approximately 10 minutes before 10 people arrived to eat. Clearly I have excellent timing.

All this fun and I haven't even been to bed yet. I can hardly wait to see what the rest of the day might hold...

Violating the Sacred

There are few things as sacred as the napping hours. Notice, please, that hours is plural, meaning that the napping hours are more than one. As in, usually 3. That's right, I am routinely blessed by the nap gods, and the boys sleep for around 3 hours a day. At the same time.

It's beautiful. Really, it is.

And do you know what is not beautiful? When the napping hours are missing. That event is tragic. Or something worse than tragic. Seriously, it is.

And today was a tragedy in which the napping hours were missing. I don't know quite where they went, but I sure hope that they come back tomorrow. Or it's really going to get ugly around here...

Guilty Pleasures

So I have many guilty pleasures, but this one happens to make me laugh harder than most of the rest.

Beauty and the Geek.

If you have never seen it, I swear that you don't know what you're missing. It's hilarious. They make a point of playing up the geekiness of the geeks, which is hilarious. And they don't do much to play up the brains in the beauties (although there is quite a bit show on their lack of them).

I am probably much more like the geeks than the beauties...but oh well. I'm still not quite as much of a geek as this guy...



Although you never know...maybe there is a great need out there for humans as blenders...

Best Shot Monday

Last week Garrett, Bennett and I got to go to Paradise Park with Lindsay and Lexi -- and we had a GREAT time. One of our favorite things was the ball pit, and it gave me my shot(s) for Best Shot Monday.

I don't know how long it's been since you've been in a ball pit...but I bet you've forgotten how much fun it really is!






In case you can't tell, this is the look that says "So this is what I've been missing!"

Sunday List #26

I know, you're probably rubbing your eyes...a Sunday list that is actually out on a Sunday?! Surely your eyes must be playing tricks on you - that's a feat I have not accomplished in several weeks...

But I assure you, your eyes do not deceive - it's true.

And what 5 things might I entertain you with today? Five things I have done this weekend, of course!

1. Paula was in town, so I got to see her and have fun times.

2. This weekend was the Plaza Art Fair -- there are a lot of really talented artists....and a lot of really strange things that people try to pass off as art. But there were definitely very cool things to be seen.

3. I made sugar cookies and icing...and they turned out great! Very delicious, if I do say so myself!

4. Paula was here and we made LOTS of cute cards! I wish I could show you all of them - they are too cute!

5. I did some calculus! I did some calculus! That's right - that small feat bears repeating. Or screaming from the rooftops. Or something. Because we are now 1/4 of the way through the semester and I have finally buckled down to work on that dang blasted subject. Let's just say that December can't come fast enough (and not because I'm excited about my birthday)...

And there you have it...what did YOU do with your weekend?!

Contrary to Popular Belief

...I have not, in fact, dropped off the face of the earth. But, several days late, here is my Sunday List of reasons why I did appear to have dropped off the face of the earth.

1. I am taking 18 hours of upper level courses. All science and math. Clearly I am out of my mind.

2. On Thursday a friend of mine informed me that she was moving to California and putting her things in storage. This weekend. Luckily, I am the master of packing. But sheesh - it was hard work! Not to mention time consuming.

3. My feeble attempts to spend time with or converse with anyone who is over the age of 3.

4. Wine.

5. Going to the gym. Hey, exercise is important - and I can actually do push ups now, aren't you impressed?!
