I feel like this week has been a big blur of school and alarm clocks and packing lunches and heating up Eggo waffles. It’s hard to get back in a routine and I am just a little bit exhausted. So I’m going to share a few quick things and call it a day. Or a blog post. Or whatever.
1. I came home yesterday afternoon to discover that P had finished the bag of pretzel M&M’s. I went through the seven stages of grief and ultimately decided it was probably for the best. He can afford to eat an entire bag of M&M’s in one sitting because he can drop fifteen pounds in a week if he just mentions he might eat some baked fish for dinner.
It’s not fair.
2. I mentioned this on Twitter yesterday because I couldn’t contain my excitement. Gulley and I ran in Gap just to check things out and they had their yoga pants on sale for $9.99. I would have bought a pair for every day of the week but they only had one pair left in my size.
It’s not fair.
3. I’ve recently become addicted to Angry Bird on my iPhone. I’d played it a few times before but became frustrated when I got to level 10 and couldn’t get past it. But while we were at the beach, W told me that you can tap on the screen and the little gray birds turn into three separate birds. I’m not sure why I didn’t know that. Needless to say, that piece of information has revolutionized my Angry Bird abilities. However, I’m currently stuck on a new level and all the screen-tapping in the world doesn’t seem to be helping.
It’s not fair.
4. I’m leaving on Friday morning for Richmond, VA for a Living Proof Live Event with Beth Moore. I just realized that sentence makes it sound like I’m leaving for Virginia with Beth Moore. We’re not actually flying there together or anything. I’ll just hear her speak once I get there. Anyway, I’m excited about it.
And the forecast shows that the high temps will only be in the low 80’s on Saturday. I’m planning to pack a sweater to ward off the chill. How come they get that kind of weather and it’s still 100 degrees here?
It’s not fair.
Although the cold front that blew violently into town on Tuesday afternoon dropped the temps from 106 to the high 90’s. I never knew 97 degrees could feel so refreshing.
5. Caroline has decided she’d like me to curl her hair every morning. I’m thrilled by her new hair aspirations and I don’t mind curling it, except for the fact that she never stops moving the entire time. It’s like trying to curl the hair of a Persian cat on amphetamines. And it doesn’t help that I’m still a little groggy at 7:15 a.m.
The good news is it appears her hair can hold a curl all day long in spite of the massive humidity.
I’d like to say it’s not fair, but, honestly, I’m thrilled for her hair success. Even if she won’t really appreciate it for many years to come.
I’ll be back tomorrow and there’s a 64% chance I’m going to take the plunge and discuss fall trends.
