A vast array of information

I have PMS.

I’m leaving town on Thursday for She Speaks and need to finish getting ready for the trip. The packing alone will be enough to send me into a frenzy.

It was 140 degrees again today. I can’t really think about it or I will start to cry.

My point is that I just have a few things to share.

1. After a very brief period of relief, Caroline has decided once again that she feels very passionate about what she wears every day. Some days she will change clothes repeatedly until I threaten to flush a Polly Pocket down the toilet.

As God is my witness, I had more than one Great Aunt that used to wear this exact outfit. May God rest their souls.

2. P decided to make himself a hotdog for dinner the other night because I was all “Dinner? You want dinner when it’s 185 degrees outside?” He opened the refrigerator drawer to look for the hot dogs only to find that they were buried underneath a plethora of assorted cheese products.

That is eleven different bags of cheese in various shapes and styles.

Only three people live in this house and one of them only eats half a Dino-Nugget and three grapes every few days.

What can I say? I enjoy cheese.

3. Boomama is hosting a before and after thing on her blog. So if you have any home projects you’ve been putting off for two or fifteen years, this is your chance to hold yourself accountable to the internet.

Since I have already completed one home project this summer by painting my bathroom cabinet, I’m going to set my sights pretty low this time. I have to pace myself or I will become known as a “productive” person.

That is the door frame to our master bathroom. It has looked like that since we moved back in after our remodel. FIVE YEARS AGO.

It hasn’t ever been painted because P built it in a hurry and it isn’t up to his strict construction standards. Of course not being painted just highlights the problem.

Anytime I’ve mentioned that I might paint it, which has been at least twice in the last five years, he tells me not to waste my time because he is going to rip it out and redo it.

And I bet he totally will before Caroline leaves for college.

However, I am going to go ahead and paint it, just for fun. It will be quite the commitment as the entire project will probably take upwards of twenty minutes.

4. The new Third Day CD, Revelation, is coming out on July 29th. But, GOOD NEWS! You don’t have to wait until July 29th to hear it. Go here right now and you can listen to the full album as many times as you want between now and June 30th.

So, go! Start listening.

I’m going to start packing for my trip.

And take some Advil for the PMS symptoms.

Have a great day!
