1. Yesterday Luke and I went to the Post Office. I feel like every time I go there I am in the Seinfeld Soup Nazi episode. Go here if you don’t know what I am talking about. The postal workers are very grumpy. The line is ALWAYS long no matter when I go. Once I finally get to the counter I feel like I have to know exactly what I want or they are going to take away my package and say “NO MAIL FOR YOU!” And heaven forbid I actually have to ask a question…
2. I think I am going to start collecting “Ruby” books. We have checked out a couple children’s book from the library with characters named Ruby and they are so cute. If you come across one that you think I need shoot me a message.
3. I just received my energy bill and it is the highest I have ever paid for an utility bill. I guess that is what I get for living in hell and wanting to stay cool.
4. I have been scrapbooking like a madwoman lately. I am halfway done with Luke’s baby book. I am hoping to have it done by the time he moves out of the house. But just look at my chubby baby boy!
5. I am almost done with Stephanie Nielson’s Heaven is Here book. It’s been pretty good. I have a long list of books on hold at the library that I want to get through. I go in spurts with my motivation to read though.
6. I love treats, fortunately, there are certain ones that I can usually refrain from. The one treat that I can’t stay away from is homemade Rice Crispy Treats. If I make a batch the whole pan will be eaten by me. No sarcasm in that statement either.
7. Does anyone have a cure for spider veins? Please, I am begging.
8. I cannot wait for the new Discovery Museum to open here. This is one of Luke’s favorite places to go, but I am ready to see what the new building is going to offer. Just for fun here are some pictures of Luke at the museum:
9. I read about the devastating event in Colorado last night. I was sick to my stomach while reading it. My heart goes out to all the family and friends that lost loved ones.
10. Today at the library I saw a 2 year old reading the book titles to his mom. I was amazed and had to ask what she is doing to get him to read so young. She said she used the “Your Baby Can Read”videos. I knew I should have ordered those when I saw the infomercial every night at 3am while feeding Luke as a newborn.
11. I got one of those automatic air fresheners. It sits by my computer and every time it sprays it scares the daylights out of me.
12. To lighten the mood I will include some funny e-cards to get your weekend started.
This is Jared:
This is me:
This is for Luke:
Hilarious ecards. didn't know about the tragedy. I am in shock from reading it. Let me know if you do order those baby read things. Love reading your ramblings.
ReplyDeleteoh, btw, I feel the same way about the post office. I laughed outloud because you described it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI, too, laughed out loud when reading about the post office. Amen to that. You described it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteRice Krispie Treats are my favorite, too.
I am so curious about that Your Baby Can Read program. Very intriguing.
The bathroom in the office I used to work at had one of those air fresheners. Freaked my freak every time. Ellen might as well have been hiding in the stall! :)
Oh man. I'm guilty on the tupperware thing. And probably the restaurant thing, too. How much was your electric bill? Ours was just a few bucks shy of $200. Bleh.
ReplyDeleteLOL I love the ecards. His scrapbook pages are oh so cute as well!!
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny. Love the soup Nazi episode!
ReplyDeleteColorado tragedy has been horrible, living here I see and hear things that are just devastating (especially hard when my husband gets more in-depth information because of his job) It has made it very hard for me. I don't want anyone to ever feel the loss of a loved one, especially a mother and father to lose their child :(
The Ruby book idea is AMAZING, I just might steal that idea...although, I doubt there are any children books with the name Beckett!
