I have about 20 minutes to actually write this post, therefore I have no time to actually put thought into how my thoughts come out…therefore…a list.
- Just a few minutes ago I was in the kitchen pouring myself a Diet Coke and I heard some grunting coming from the living room. It was Zoe. When I turned the corner the grunting turned to a “Help” kinda cry…she had attempted to climb into her toy chest {a.k.a the ottoman}, fallen in and was stuck. I tried very hard not to laugh at her. I did not succeed.
{One of her new “favorite” spots}
- The other day I did a maternity shoot with a friend at the Zoo….because the zoo is absolutely beautiful, and I have an annual pass, so it’s free. This is what I looked like…
That’s me, Zoe, Diet Coke, 2 cameras, diaper bag, stroller, and then my friend’s clothes were shoved into the bottom of the stroller. We had a great time and got some great shots. While shooting down at the pier, I saw this…
That, my friends, is a floating TRAILER. Repeat after me…”Only in the South…” And then I remember why I don’t often claim my Southern roots. Hmmmm…
- The other day I was shopping for a scoring kit to do some envelope making. I was at the Town Center and there was a JoAnn’s Fabrics there, so I just hopped in. Now, in general, I’m not a huge fan of JoAnn’s. I don’t like their customer service. I don’t like that I can never find somebody. And, I think they’re more expensive than other places. That said, they’re right where I shop…so I deal with it. Well, the other day when I went in they were “renovating” which, to me, just meant that all their crap stuff was in different places throughout the store. I had no idea where to find what I was looking for, so I searched for somebody instead. I was halfway across the store before I found ANYBODY. So annoying. I saw the man who worked there and said, “Excuse me, sir”…he kept walking away from me. I said it a little bit louder while picking up my speed…he still continued walking away from me. I said it louder. Now, I have a pretty loud voice on a normal day. My voice carries. {I know, I’ve gotten in trouble for this ALL OF MY LIFE} but this guy was just ignoring me. So, very matter of factly, I said loudly “Excuse me PERSON WHO WORKS HERE” and he turned around and said, “Can I help you ma’am?” Um????? Yes. So I told him what I was looking for, he acted like he’d never heard of it before. I clarified. He was still confused. We walked around the store together. He pulled 2 other people into the search. They’d never heard of it before either. Scrapbooking stuff was everywhere…I was hot. So, I politely thanked them for their time, drove 10 minutes down the road to Michaels…and found it on the very first aisle that I walked down AND? It was 30% off….Thank you very much. And that is why I will shop at Michaels or Hobby Lobby from now on.
- That very same day I was carrying around an envelope with, oh…let’s say about $150 in it…and I misplaced it ALL.DAY.LONG. In fact, when I was at Michaels buying the scoring kit, I was trying to pay for it and I couldn’t find the envelope anywhere in my bag. I panicked, paid for the kit with my debit card, and raced out to the car. As I was searching the car from the back passenger seat, I looked up and realized that my drivers side door was wide open….as in, when I got out of the car I NEVER SHUT THE DOOR…and my money was sitting right there on the floorboard. Lord have mercy.
- This morning I went to the gym, got there late so I didn’t make it to my first class, met up with Courtenay and we started talking about writing grants for my work. We ended up sitting on those couches talking for 2 hours until we had to pick our kids up from the daycare. It was great…everybody should have a workout like that once in a while.
- I have like 5 posts in my head that I need to write, but I don’t have any time to write them…and don’t even get me started on my Operation Skinny Jeans blog and how neglected that one is…sheesh. I will write over there again, I promise.
- Tomorrow’s post is going to be titled “These are a few of our favorite things”…and that’s as far as I’ve gotten…I’m an over-achiever.
- I weighed myself today and I was the same as Monday, which means that it wasn’t a fluke! Sometimes when I look at the scale I don’t believe it just yet…I need to see the number, or a lower number, at least twice before I know that it’s real. I’m almost at 20…I can’t wait!
- Yesterday somebody told me that a weekly email is sent out on Wednesday, and I replied, “Oh, well I didn’t get it yesterday so I’m not on the list.” She looked at me like I was nutso and then said, “Um, ok. I guess Monday counts as Wednesday to some people”. And I about died…
Happy Wednesday Ya’ll!
