You know what’s going on here? Absolutely nothing.
In fact, there is so little happening that I’m struggling to find something to write about and so I debate about whether or not I should just give in and not post anything or just ramble and see what happens.
Clearly, based on that sentence, I’m choosing to ramble.
Feel free to click away and read about something interesting like Tori Spelling being pregnant again.
This week has been a slow week. After I got Caroline off to school on Monday, I spent most of the day catching up on a few things around the house. Which is a fancy way of saying I sat on the couch, checked email and took a long nap. In my defense, I stayed up way too late on Saturday night and was in the midst of an extreme sleep deficit.
And it didn’t help that I stayed up until 1 a.m. on Sunday night watching Mad Men.
I picked Caroline up from school that afternoon and we went straight to the grocery store because, OH MY WORD, the people that live here won’t quit talking about how they need to eat dinner and use toilet paper. So I stocked up on a fridge full of vegetables and other healthy foods because, yes, I am still on the healthy eating train. I now saute’ kale at least twice a week. I don’t even know who I am.
I can’t even talk about the last time I had a baked potato with sour cream, cheese and butter or I’ll cry.
Dear Carbs, I’m sorry that we’ve had to quit meeting after 4:00 p.m. Believe me when I say it’s harder on me than it is on you.
Anyway, after we got home from the grocery store, Gulley and Will stopped by after they dropped Jackson off at baseball practice. Over the weekend, Will incurred an injury at the Little League Fields that required him to wear a leg brace for two days. Gulley told me that as soon as he saw that brace in the doctor’s office he said, “WAIT UNTIL CAROLINE SEES THIS!”
And so, naturally, he had to come by and show it off. I told Caroline about it ahead of time and told her she needed to make sure to give him a good reaction and suggested that she could say, “OH WILL! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LEG?”
She looked at me and said, “Mom. I’m not going to be all DRAMA about it”. Which is funny considering she doesn’t mind being ALL DRAMA about everything else. She’d come out of her bathroom just that morning to show me “a vicious bite” she had on her leg that, I KID YOU NOT, was smaller than a pencil eraser.
But she did manage to give Will an appropriate amount of concern and sympathy and then went with them to the Little League fields to watch Jackson’s baseball game. Gulley said Will immediately took his leg brace off once he was there and seemed to experience a miraculous recovery as he and Caroline ran around buying hamburgers and snow cones and Skittles from the concession stand.
Then yesterday I caught up on some writing and laundry and other exciting things. I met Gulley and our friend Donna for lunch. I ordered the veggie tacos. Sadly, the bell peppers were overcooked.
And I think that the fact I just shared my overcooked bell peppers with you like it was actually an anecdote or some type of story is a sign that I just need to give it up for today. Let’s all hope tomorrow is a little more exciting.
Or maybe you can tell me what’s going on with you. Please. It has to be more interesting than overcooked bell peppers and leg braces.
