So...I had this ready to go for yesterday's post and accidentally hit save instead of post! My blonde is really starting to show...none the less, here it is.
Random Thoughts for the Day
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How in the world are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -- ever.
15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Darn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
18. My 4-year old grandson asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the heck do I respond to that?
19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite OR Budweiser than Kay.

very productive day
Being the procrastinator that I am, I waited until the weekend before company coming to tackle my dining room table. For the last 6 months or so, it has served as my craft table and it was COVERED in stamp stuff. In fact, I don't think covered even begins to describe it. If you've visited recently, you can attest to that fact. So, after many hours of cleaning and organizing, I am proud to say that my table now looks like this:
It's been so long since it was clutter free that I forgot how much I love my dining room set! I had to post a close-up of the pretty lilies that my hubby brought me last week. It was a rough week for me and it was so sweet of him to surprise me!

Christmas Wish List
I was doing some online shopping earlier and came across a few things that I wouldn't mind finding under my tree this year. Bear in mind that under no circumstances will any of these things actually BE under my tree, but a girl can dream, right?
~I would love, love, love to have a new phone this year. Seeing as they don't offer insurance on the iphone, I have been told repeatedly that this is not an option. You drive away with one phone on the roof of your car...
~I have an addiction to coats. I have at least a dozen so I'm sure that means I definitely need this one from Express. I just love the bright blue color!
~These are so pretty. I will NEVER own them since they cost more than my mortgage payment. Should I ever win the lottery though, these babies are mine!
~Best sheets ever hands down. They are on my bed right now and I love them. I just need a couple more sets so that I can rotate instead of washing and then putting my current set right back on.
~I was recently introduced to this lotion and I hate her for getting me addicted. It's stupid expensive but it smells SO good.
~I never cook so the need for a new frying pan really isn't that immediate. When I do decide to I would like to have more than one pan to choose from though.
~Ah, Lush. You are too good for words. I would be happy with any of their products but this body wash is my absolute favorite. It has real cocoa and coffee in it. It's like they made it just for me!
~Just looking at this makes me want to get my craft stuff organized.
~And while we're dreaming big here, wouldn't mind having a pair of these bad boys.

Thursday's Ten
Today I'm joining Lora in Thursday's Ten! Everyone who knows me will tell you that I'm addicted to quotes. There are so many that I love that it was hard to choose just ten!
"Everybody likes to go their own way–to choose their own time and manner of devotion."
~ Jane Austen
"There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back."
(One Tree Hill)
"A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition."
~ G.K. Chesterton
"Housework, if you do it right, will kill you."
~ Erma Bombeck
"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."
(Sex and the City)
"Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart, don't know how to laugh either."
~ Golda Meir
"Wherever you go, go with all your heart."
~Confucius
"The truth is the kindest thing we can give folks in the end."
~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
"In a good shoe, I wear a size six, but a seven feels so good, I buy a size eight."
(Steel Magnolias)
"A happy heart makes the face cheerful"
~Proverbs 15:13

A good day for a run
I got home from work yesterday and decided that it was a good day to go running. No, that's not a typo.
Seriously, pick your jaw up off the floor...I've been known to run on occasion! Mostly when being chased but that's so not the point here.
It was a little damp but a perfect cool fall day. So, I loaded up Alaina and away we went. Thirty seconds later, I remembered why I don't take my child running with me. Strollers are HEAVY. Seeing as my neighborhood has crazy steep hills, I spent the entire hour either being dragged down and trying not to fall, or moving at a snails pace trying to push it back up the hill. Every time I stopped to breath for a second, my child would look at me and laugh. Apparently, mommy about to pass out is the most hilarious thing in the world.
Whatever.
After our run we had a great impromptu photo shoot that resulted in exactly 3 acceptable pictures. I won't tell you how many I took to get those 3. It was so much easier when she was less active!
She loves her jumparoo! She cracks me up because stares at the little animals for the first couple of minutes in awe every time we put her in. It never gets old for her and I love it.
She is the happiest baby all the time! The only exception is if you are jet-lagged and have gotten zero sleep. Then she's a rat and will do nothing but cry and refuse to let you put her down. Mostly, just smiles and giggles.
Scotlon makes fun of me because I have an obsession with her feet. There's just something so sweet about tiny little baby feet!

Crazy Days
What a crazy few days it's been! Sunday morning I took Kris to the airport and it was so sad. We had such a wonderful visit and I've been in a little bit of a funk since she left. Even Alaina misses her. Aunt Kris taught her how to blow raspberries and she refuses to do it now that she's gone!
Hailey & Logan are doing well and settling in at home. He's such a cutie! Alaina usually stays with Hailey but she's hanging out with Allison for the next few weeks. Allison's kiddos, Justin & Chelsea, are so sweet with Alaina. They are thrilled to death to have her there!
Scotlon has a busy schedule this week and then a mid-term on Friday. We will both be SO glad when he is done with school. Only 2 more classes to go!
I am going to completely ignore the fact that I didn't post yesterday and pretend like I didn't fail my 365 day challenge one week in...
Hope that you have a wonderful day!
