I keep thinking of stuff I want to blog about, then when I sit down in front of the computer, it falls out of my head. So, in order to ease the pressure that has clearly built up, here is a list of randomness.
Food and eating in general. I am tired of eating, or coming up with stuff to eat, or horror of horrors going somewhere to eat. My mom and grandma were here for a week, and everyone hates choosing where we will go to eat. Why is this? I have no idea. But I really want to subsist on cereal and peanut butter sandwiches. I think this would make the deciding much easier. Problem, I think I am the only one who lives here that loves cereal and peanut butter sandwiches, every one else just tolerates them.
Water aerobics. I have been going in the early wee morning hours lately. I realize I love water aerobics because my lack of coordination is not so obvious when most of me is under the water. And I love floating in the pool, so relaxing. And I have been sore for weeks, so something must be working.
Winter, snow, freezing wind, and other such nonsense. I am so ready for the weather to stop teasing me. We had a few days that reached 60 degrees last week, twas divine. Then slam, snow coating the lawn and car again. Then biting, cold, bitter, piercing, frigid wind. I just want a few months of jeans and t-shirt weather. No bundling needed. And I want to put away all the cold weather gear, I am tired of the way Sophie decorates the house with it.
Book Club. We read Gone With The Wind last month and I really liked it. I had lots of memories of watching the movie at Grandma McMenomy's as a teenager. It's good to see how my perspective on it all has changed over the years. And the things that have stayed the same. Though, I am still perplexed why Scarlett loved Ashely, in the movie he was not handsome, and in the book, he is pretty pathetic. She just goes after him because she can't have him, then when she can, she doesn't want him. Can be applied to so many things.
Furniture. We are at a point where most of our stuff is nearing twelve years old. So, some stuff is looking pretty shabby, namely the couch. I am having a terrible time finding a new one that I like. Part of me wants to get something very nice that will last years and years, mainly to avoid looking again. Part of me wants to get something fairly inexpensive and plan on not living with it too long because I am bad with commitment. There are many other furniture issues, but I can only concentrate on this one right now.
Lost. I love lost, I look forward to it every week. We don't even answer the phone or door while it is on. So why is there no new Lost next week, isn't it sweeps? Good thing I have The Office to look forward to as well.
Speaking of the phone, I didn't even realize the new dial the whole ten numbers thing went into effect this week until it was mentioned at Book Club on Wednesday. And I still haven't made a call yet this week. I find this hilarious. The Young Women can't believe I don't have a cell phone, after this week, are we even sure I need a home phone?!? Well, people have called here, so I suppose I do, it's just funny.

Ditto on the food thing. I never thought I would say this, but I am tired of food. It is such a nuisance. I only wish I felt the same way about candy.
I'm with you on winter, furniture buying, cell phones and occasionally LOST. But when it comes to the food thing you and I apparently are on two different planets!
I can subsist on peanut butter. It is very filling and helps when the food budget with 6 kids gets low.
Cereal makes me happier than any other food!
It's great to catch up on your life...even if it is just your random thoughts. Sorry I didn't call...we ended up heading home early because Elsie was sick.
I love the random thoughts! It's funny now that brad and I are concerned with so many other things that we have let dinner planning/cooking go. For the last month or so 2/3 of our meals are cereal! And we are okay with that! I just keep 4-6 different types of cereal in the house (mostly from Costco) and we do really well. Maybe after we have the baby we'll have to start eating like adults ;)
I LOVE water aerobics and it use dto amaze me how much I'd sweat while in the pool! It was a funny experience for me, but I think it was definitly one of my best work outs too!
I hate the weather. Just when my backyard dries up and I have no more muddy paw prints through my kitchen it snows again! (Sigh). Oh well.
It's funny how hard it can be to find furniture! It took me and Brad planning a huge party for one weekend to make a purchase at RC Willy at closing time the night before and pick it up the next day! It was a close one!
Have a great day! I really enjoy learning more about what's going on with you and your family!
