So here’s what’s been going on here.
Nothing exciting.
I laughed yesterday because someone made the comment that I hadn’t really written a real post for the last couple of days and they couldn’t wait to hear what I’d been up to. And it made me feel bad that the most exciting thing I’ve done in the last forty-eight hours was pick up some chicken at Church’s.
That may not sound that interesting, but I’ll have you know their biscuits and fried okra are delicious.
The truth is that P and Caroline left on Tuesday afternoon for a quick little fishing trip. Which means that, yes, we allowed her to skip a day of school to go fish. But you know what they say, teach a girl to fish and you’ll feed her for a lifetime. No one has ever said the same thing about learning the different types of polygons.
And so I’ve had a lot of time to myself. Some of that time I’ve spent in a productive manner, but in the interest of full disclosure I’ve also spent some of it watching old episodes of Friday Night Lights.
On Tuesday night I went to eat Mexican food with my birthday club group. As usual we solved a myriad of problems while eating an abundance of chips and queso.
And then I slept in yesterday morning because I didn’t have to get anyone up for school or pack a lunch or any of those other grown up things I normally have to do around 7:00 a.m. Then when I finally woke up I sat on the couch in the total quiet and drank a big cup of coffee with the new Coffee Mate Cafe Latte creamer I bought at the store.
I think it’s changed my life.
(Also, just so you know, I was at HEB on Tuesday and the cheese still stands alone. It makes no sense at all.)
(But have I mentioned we’re getting a Trader Joe’s? This is an exciting turn of events. Which is a sure sign I’m in my forties.)
So that’s what’s been going on around here. And so I thought the least I could do is point you in the direction of some good blog posts you might want to read now that I’ve bored you to death with my tales of chicken and Friday Night Lights and Coffee Mate.
1. The Lesson I Learned About Loving My Neighbor by Paige Knudsen
(I pretty much want to be just like Paige when I grow up. Even though she’s only about two or three years older than me.)
2. In Which the Stories That Aren’t Told are the Sweetest to Me by Sarah Bessey
3. This preview of Lisa Leonard’s new reality T.V. show.
I think that’s it. See y’all tomorrow for Fashion Friday.
