I’m not sure why I’m so tired right now but I kind of think it might be the Olympics. All this sitting on the couch and watching the world-class athletes is EXHAUSTING. So today is just going to be a few pieces of information strung together with bullet points. Except I decided it’s too hard to format the bullet points so I’m going with numbers instead.
1. Several of you asked about the shirt I had on in the video. It’s a JWLA shirt that I bought last year and I couldn’t find the exact shirt online, although this one is kind of similar.
Except mine is bright orange.
And has elastic around the cuffs.
And has a drawstring thing at the top.
So really they aren’t that much alike, except they are the same brand.
Please note that I did not pay full price for mine, but found it deeply discounted at Nordstrom Rack where I swooped it into my arms and whispered terms of endearment to it all the way to the cash register.
2. Speaking of the video, a few of you commented on how patient I am with Caroline. And, yes, I try to be patient with her, but that was a three minute slice of our life.
The irony is that the rest of our evening didn’t go that smoothly and I actually felt guilty after I got her in bed because I’d been so impatient with all the bedtime stalling techniques. And I really can’t talk about yesterday morning when I was in a hurry to get us both dressed and out the door only for her to decide that her hair looked “weird” and could I please redo it. Then when I agreed to redo it, she proceeded to yell “OW, OW, OW! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS YANKING MY HAIR?” as I gently combed it out while biting my tongue so hard that it started to bleed.
God give me strength.
3. One of the aforementioned bedtime stalling techniques was another loose tooth. It really was very loose so P offered to help her pull it out, but she told him she was saving it for Tilt to pull at school the next day because “she is a professional”.
4. I thought I might be over American Idol. I mean, not really since what else would I watch on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after the Olympics are over? I just like to talk big. But I am a little excited about the talent this year.
My pick right now? Casey James.
5. I hope Jake doesn’t pick Vienna, but I’m afraid he’s going to since they shared that meaningful, challenging bungee jumping date together and anyone who’s married knows that life together won’t present any challenge more difficult than jumping off a bridge in tandem.
6. I love Shaun White. As a matter of fact, I love snowboarders in general. I would totally move to Colorado and become a professional snowboarder if I weren’t a thirty-eight year old wife and mother who doesn’t really like the cold and has no sense of balance.
7. I’ll be back tomorrow with Fashion Friday.
