THE Most Random Post EVER (at least that I’ve ever written)

March 8, 2010 by Elaine

This post is REALLY random. And there’s random pics of my kids mixed in, just for the heck of it.

* Do you ever wonder how people come up with or invent things? Like who figured out that a little piece of paper with sticky stuff on the back would be like one of the best ideas ever? And as an aside, don’t you love it in “Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion” when Michele claims to have invented Post It Notes herself? Good times. I would also like to file this random tid-bit under “Why didn’t I think of that?” Because I would have SO many uses for all that money.

* For example THIS and THIS and THIS. Etsy, it’s an addiction. Oh and THIS too.


*As is The 30 Day Shred. Every day I’m like, “Ah, I could just skip ONE day.” But I don’t because I actually LIKE the feeling I get after doing it AND I’m accountable to my Shred friends at Shrinking Jeans. Plus?! I can already feel changes. Thanks to all of you who support me in this endeavor. However, on the “I can still love myself no matter how I look” front, here’s a blog I found the other day that cracks me up. And she’s serious Y’all. Love it.

* I’ve made a “New Year’s Resolultion” on March 6th. To make our bed more often. Hey, it’s close to Chinese New Year, right?

Make Sure you Read This ONE
* So the other night I laid down to go to bed and I was like “What smells like pee?” I felt down by my leg and found a remote control (bed was NOT made that day, this was before the resolution was made) and then I moved a little and still felt something. By my OTHER leg was a baby diaper that had been taken off of the baby before I took her to the shower with Daddy. I had forgotten to fold it up and throw it out. And you know what? That’s what smelled like pee. This is a first y’all. I laid down on a pee-peed baby diaper.


*I hardly watch t.v. anymore. I’ve pretty much given up on American Idol because from what I’ve seen they just aren’t very good this year and honestly, I don’t like Ellen on there. She needs to stick to he own gig – her show and comedy. And I’m mostly just DONE with reality t.v. It’s really SO awful and I don’t think there’s really anything “real” about it these days. I also have several other shows on the DVR that I’m just not that jazzed about watching. I do LOVE Modern Family and watch that every week (usually whenever I want from the DVR).

*Turns out when you give up chocolate anything lemon or strawberry sounds good for dessert. Just FYI. Caramel too.


* Little G is getting very good at puzzles. That’s when he’s not chewing on or ripping the pieces. (p.s. I’M very good at puzzles. He gets this from me. p.p.s not the chewing part)

* Tim turned on “Dirty Dancing” the other day. Have you ever noticed that “Baby” runs alot in that movie? Maybe that’s how she kept so fit. And yes, Tim turned it on, not me. Oh and it made us miss Patrick Swayze and being 12 (the age I was when the movie came out). Both tragic loses.

* My two boys are playing quietly right now as I type this. Proof that there is a God and that he also hears and answers our prayers.


* The baby is almost sitting up already. She still takes a face plant every now and again and I can’t be far away when she is in that position, but she’s almost there. I can’t believe it really. And she’s already in size 3 diapers. She’ll be asking for the keys any minute now. Oh and she LOVES her brothers. She loves to watch them play and smiles HUGELY when they come up to her. It’s SO sweet.

* The B Man decided he wants a Transformer party for his birthday this year. We’ve finally graduated from varmints. Thank. God.

K, that’s all for now. Happy Monday.

P.S. only 27 days until Easter. Also known as “Chocolate Day” around here. The countdown has begun.

    Gotta love the random posts! Seriously!! I have totally done that with a diaper, except it was poop. I’m generally pretty good about taking them straight outside, but once I was in a hurry and left it on the bed. It was closed, but OMG the smell when I discovered it HOURS later!! Love the pictures of the kids. WOW. They are growing so fast 🙂

    Love your randoms!

    How great was Romy and Michelle?! God I love that movie.

    And to be 12 years old again…wow. Now I feel OLD.

    Yay for 30 Day Shred!! I need to do something more intense than Just Dance. Although I do play it quite a bit…

    And love the adorable pictures! Such a beautiful family!

    Random posts are cool.

    You know what even cooler, that I’m writing this comment to you, while I’m laying your couch! You are in the other room and don’t even know yet…hehe!

    LOL!

    Oh, and I fixed the whole blog button issue…the problem was totally in the coding, so I’m really glad you told me. 🙂

    Hehe. I love random posts. I did a random on Friday. Too funny.

    I haven’t watched Idol all season. I just couldn’t do it. Booooring! Also, I refuse to watch Dancing with the Stars. It really should be called Dancing with the Media Whores. I’m just sayin’. Ick.

    I gave up ALL sweets for lent. It is nuts. I am making it through on some yummy Jell-o pudding snacks and sum tasty yogurts though. Not too bad. I’m afraid I may binge come Easter, though. 😉

    I really need to get the 30 Day Shred!!!!

    That’s a lot of randomness…sounds like you’re doing good! Oh, and I’ve found a baby diaper in my bed before too – nastiness…

    Sometimes random is all a person has in them.

    And I make our bed every day. The rest of the house should be condemned but the bed is always made.

    I love that our baby girls are growing up online together.

    Eden rocks the headbands and is almost sitting up too!

    😀

    My head has been random for the last few weeks…so this is fitting. Here’s my random:
    1) caramel rocks
    2) the pee diaper made me giggle
    3) i haven’t watched AI for the last few years….I’m over it too
    4) You are doing awesome with Shredding…so glad you are doing it with us!!

    so do I admit that I’ve done similar things with old diapers or no…no I don’t think I’ll admit that, I think I’ll just sit here and laugh at you as if I can’t imagine every doing anything like that. (I also would never leave one on the couch or in the office….always into the diaper pail immediately, even at 3am right?)

    Haha. I love random posts.

    baby K can’t possibly be sitting up already!!

    And I found a old pull up in our bed once. Good times 🙂

    And btw one of my best friends’ uncle invented the sticky on on post it note LOL.

    March 9, 2010 at 2:39 am

    LOL total randomness 🙂
    Baby K looks adorable 🙂

  13. Brittany says

    March 9, 2010 at 2:40 pm

    Ohh I love baby K’s bow!! LOVE IT! 🙂

    I am doing the 30 day shred, too!! It is ROUGH! But I always feel SOOO much better after I do it!

    When I first started reading the sticky note thing I automatically though of Romy & Michelle, and then you brought it up! Crazy! Loved that movie. Seriously.

    I love a good random post, and that was a good one! Please don’t kill me for this, but I actually think caramel is BETTER than chocolate. Good luck keeping the bed made, you’ll be doing better than me.

    I have resisted Etsy so far…my bow budget isn’t allowing for it. Although maybe Caitlin needs a bow in her Easter basket…hmmm

    I’d tag a March 6th resolution to Lent. It is shorter if it doesn’t work out…and there is always Catholic guilt to help you stick to it! ; )

    You know that lent doesn’t apply on Sundays so you can sooooo have some chocolate on Sundays.
