My boring life.

Nothing in my life right now is too exciting, so I thought I'd share some of the boring things that are going on.

1. I have grown out my nails. ( I'm usually a biter. I'll be honest, I just bit them off again, but they were going strong for a couple weeks. )

2. Leo and I had a Narnia weekend (1st one on Fri. 2nd one on Sat.)

3. I beat Leo in Settlers of Catan (my odds at winning are getting better, aren't they?)

4. I have been working on my cursive r's while taking notes. They are looking mighty fine.

5. I have re-read many childhood favorite books. (Wrinkle in Time, Tuck Everlasting, Out of the Dust and many more will I be reading soon.)

6. Midterms are going on.

7. I made chili and cornbread for dinner on Sunday, gave Leo heartburn (woops.)

The one exciting thing that is kind of in pending mode right now is that we are seriously considering buying a condo! There's many pros and cons to this, but with the interest rates so low, we wouldn't be spending much more than our rent already is. More info about this decision will come soon.

That is my life right now. Peace.

A blogpost-worthy night....

So, folks, tonight was the night of nights, the night of nights (If anyone knows High School Musical 3, I'm singing the prom song..., I've been a lil obsessive the past few days)

I looove board games, but I have this problem where I get obsessed with one and want to play it every night non-stop & I guess Leo doesn't like that? Plus, it's usually only the two of us & yeah, not as fun. So, I talked him into playing a game tonight & he chose Battleship. I'm fine with that game, but he always wins. Like always.

However... tonight was different.

Tonight, using my immaculate intellect and indubitably clever wits, I kicked his trash. People, I whupped him three times in a row. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Is it bad that I find so much joy in that?

Can I just tell you my cutest story ever?!

Okay, so I work at a kids clothing store & I have worked there for 4, almost 5 years. Yes, retail has made me somewhat bitter when it comes to angry moms, poopy diapers, return & coupon policies & the people who hate them, people who don't know what time the mall closes and don't care to notice that the music has turned off and the doors are shut and I'm giving them the stink eye. But! Every once in awhile, you will get a really friendly customer or an adorable baby that wants to play peek a boo and it makes the job not so annoying. Today had one of those rare occurrences.

The mailman brought in a letter, like normal. I glanced at it while walking over to give it to my manager and it looked different. But I didn't care too much. A little bit later, when my manager finally opened it, she discovered the sweetest letter ever! Which, this might not be very exciting to others, but it was to me!

A little girl wrote us a letter, basically thanking us for having such great clothes and for being so nice! K, seriously, this never happens! You don't understand, we deal with frustrated people all the time. So to receive a sweet letter from a cute little girl telling us how much she loves wearing our clothes made our day! Well, it made my whole weekend! She had all these cute little comments like, "My mom says they're reasonably priced!" Oh my gosh, I wish I could've typed the whole letter, so adorable. On my break, my manager and I wrote her back but it was pretty difficult because we really couldn't ask or write anything personal. We didn't want to come off like desperate stalkers to her mom. So, we pretty much just said thanks for being so nice... yadda yadda yadda. All in all, I now vow to make my children write random thank-you letters so that other people can feel the same joy I felt today.

All About Me

I am - married to a wonderful man.

I want – a puppy.

I hear - the dog behind our apartment complex barking, non-stop barking.

I never – resist the opportunity for a "face-tickling"

I wonder – if I'll be a good mom.

I always – laugh when people "toot" in public, well in private too.

I usually – shower? Notice how it wasn't on the above line. :)

I search – for my husband's wallet monthly.

I am not – good at crafty things.

I dance – in the car.

I sing – all the time. Don't care how I sound.

I wish - Leo & I were done with school.

I dislike – heavy garlic in foods & when people walk too slow down the stairs, in hallways, or when they just stop to talk Hello? People are behind you. I have some bitterness.

I rarely – stay angry.

I cry – all the time. I cried for awhile yesterday after I smacked my head on the washer door at the laundromat. Man it hurt so bad.

I am not always – lazy. There are days when I am a productive adult.

I lose - in most games against Leo.

I fear – people running at me in basketball, football games, etc. I don't play any for that reason.

I'm confused – about most recipes. I need specific instructions people!

I need – daily snuggling.

I should – get out of my comfort zone more often.

I dream - of a big happy family.

I have – too many of the same color brown eyeshadows. I can't help it, it's always the color I want.
