1. I know it’s Friday but I was busy hiding in my office yesterday and fighting the urge to intrude on our Mother’s Helper with my freaky control freak tendencies. I shut the door to the office and basically tried to stay out of the way. It was hard. So, I maybe need a lesson or two in learning to let go.
2. My kid drew the above on the chalkboard in the playroom. I’m the stick figure on the right, in case you don’t know what I look like.
3. Music of the week: “Flavors of Entanglement” – the new album by Alanis Morisette. If you download it on iTunes, you get a whole bunch of bonus songs, including an awesome one called “Madness” and another called “On the Tequila”. I’ve been enjoying it.
4. Less than a week til the Jack Johnson concert – Whoo hoo! My sister and I are leaving our men at home and making an afternoon/evening of it. I can’t wait. We almost never do things together. With her being 10 years younger than I am, there really hasn’t been much common ground up until the past few years. I’m really looking forward to the concert.
5. I’ve been watching “So You Think You Can Dance” but it’s so early in the season, it’s hard to care about any of the dancers yet. I was spacing while I was watching last night.
6. Tomorrow, I’ll be going to see “Sex and the City” again. This time, me and a friend will be taking our husbands. We figure there is enough boobs in the movie to keep them amused. Maybe.
7. The season finale of Top Chef was on the other day and I was happy to see Stephanie win, even though her dessert looked like a hot mess.
8. I am getting a new dining room set this weekend. I wanted to wait until the girls were a little older and less likely to beat the crap out of new furniture, but, the thing is… I think we’re weeks away from all the chairs collapsing! We’re likely going to get a dining table, 2 -3 dining chairs, and a bench instead of chairs for the girls.
9. I started reading the “Twilight” series by Stephanie Meyer. I realize they are written for “young adults” but I had heard so much about them, I caved. And I am hooked. I’m midway through the second book, and I have the third on deck. Easy reads, for sure.
10. I’m a pretty crappy blogger lately. Forgive me. I’ll get my mojo back. I promise.
Twilight is awesome. Welcome to the club! 😀
