big hair = good times

this morning on the way to work i opted out of my normal routine. my normal routine being either a) listen to worship music or b) listen to NPR radio.

i instead listened to Cher. it was fabulous. i had such a great time singing in my car. i forgot how good it felt to sing to like that.

i just wish i could pull of that hairstyle of hers...wouldn't that be something?

Why not be random?

1. i really wish that leggings could pass as pants because they are so darn comfortable.

2. i suggested that my students and i tweet each other about a new show that is starting on TV because it follows a book we started reading in class.

3. i am pretty sure they think i am LAME.

4. i have been drinking more water, i am starting to get used to it but will always prefer diet Dr pepper

5. i read the book "heaven is for real" it was a good book

6. kettle corn popcorn really is the best. why don't they sell that in the movie theaters?

7. my new hairdresser is amazing. for real.

8. molly hit me in the head last Sunday in front of about 20 people because she was mad at me. hello welcome to toddler hood mama!

9. i am in the market for a new bible that is compact but not tiny. that is what i am hoping for valentines day (plus a morning of sleeping in until 10)

10. God is awesome.

Last night.

Last night I ate leftovers.

I re-organized my bedroom and my hall closet.

I did several loads of laundry.

I watched one episdoe of Fraiser.

Then

Jenna arrived.

We got into our pjamas

We had lots of girl talk.

We tried to watch Parenthood but we just kept thinking of things to tell one another

It was SO good for my soul.

Then

Allen came home from work.

He got Jenna to try a "who nu?" cookie

we laughed a lot

we watched Parenthood

Then

we went to bed.

It was a great AWESOME night.

Randomness

1. I like Special K Vanilla Almond
2. Shopping at Target is always more fun with Allen
3. My husband can make a mean pasta sauce.
4. Yesterday I wore fall boots for the first time. They were a hit with my students!
5. I miss my home in St. Simons Island
6. My dad is awesome.
7. I appreciate it so much whenever someone reads my blog and leaves a comment.
8. Why is it so hard to find a good Chinese food place?
9. Some friends of mine recently adopted a beautiful baby girl and my heart overflows for them.
10. I wish the weekends were longer.

Randomness and such

1. I am going to miss my morning "me" time so much when school starts.  Days this summer have gone like this...wake up early, feed molly, play with molly, make real breakfast (more than a slice of bread or granola bar) drink coffee, play with molly, molly naps and I become the most productive person ever. Cleaning, writing, paying bills, reading, catching up with friends etc. Oh I will miss this so much.

2. Spent time at the lake yesterday actually on the lake and realized what a culture it is. Boat people and lake people. Friendly to the nines.

3. Pet peeve. When you are talking to someone on the telephone and you think they are listening but you realize that they were not because response is inappropriate. Example: me: " Our neighborhood has been experiencing some car thefts lately" Person: " oh that is wonderful!"

4. I would love to have our backyard be a place of fun. So in order for that to happen I need: mosquito's to not exist. Dog poop to magically disappear. The lawn to be mowed. Money to appear in bank account so we can spring for cushions (eli ate our couch cushions earlier this year) and some citronella candles. And the heat to dissipate about 15 -20 degrees. Don't think that is asking for too much right?

5. I found a great recipe for a heirloom tomato pizza. Too bad the other adult in this house won't go for it. Should I make for myself?

6. I need a good pillow. Every morning I wake up with back and shoulder pain. Where do you get good pillows?
