This is where I could write some long introduction explaining why I’m just posting a list of things today, but the fact of the matter is I can’t possibly string all these things into a few concise, well-written paragraphs. Bullet points and/or numbers are in order.
1. Y’all. I totally messed up on the “My Very Excellent Mother Served Us Nine Pizzas” thing yesterday because I wrote ORDERED instead of SERVED. Maybe some of you thought I did it on purpose to be funny.
I didn’t.
This doesn’t bode well for Caroline’s eventual assignment on the Solar System and also serves as a very good example of why I never need to homeschool. The world doesn’t need another child running around declaring, “THE EARTH IS TOTALLY FLAT, Y’ALL”.
2. Speaking of Caroline and the fact I have nothing left to offer her education-wise, the other day I was telling Mimi and Bops about something and Caroline asked, “Where is it located?”
I replied, “It’s in a place called Chicago”.
She said, “I’M IN THIRD GRADE. Don’t tell me ‘IT’S IN A PLACE CALLED CHICAGO’. I KNOW ABOUT CHICAGO.”
I’m pretty sure she’s packing up and moving to New York next week.
3. I want SO MUCH to discuss this whole A&M to the SEC mess and Baylor’s threats of a lawsuit. But I’ve always been told if you can’t say something nice then you shouldn’t say anything at all.
Sometimes if you love something you have to let it go, Baylor.
Edited to add – I was a little harsher earlier and I apologize. I have very strong feelings but I will keep them to myself. I love many, many people who happened to have graduated from Baylor.
4. I ended up with side swept bangs yesterday. It felt like the right choice. I’m not sure how I feel about them yet. I’ll let you know after I style them myself.
5. I’m so excited about the debut of the new Missoni collection at Target that I even marked September 13th on my calendar so I wouldn’t forget. I hope it’s worth me driving five miles out of my way and enduring four additional stoplights to get there.
Of course I’m debating going to my secret Target instead because I think my main Target is totally over-shopped. Rumor has it we’re getting a Super Target in our neighborhood, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
6. Guess what? There’s a chance to win a Keurig coffee maker and read about Green Mountain coffee on my giveaway page.
7. The fires in Texas. We desperately need rain. Please continue to pray for Texas. It’s so sad.
8. I think that’s it. Y’all have a great day.
