Bonus:not a picture tonight but a list...
10 random thoughts from this past week:
1. Scott and I went for dinner & a movie (Hangover) last night. Funny movie. a little raunchy but still worth a few giggles
2. I was able to strike another thing off my "bucket list" after seeing Coldplay in concert.
3. On the topic of Coldplay, this video was shown during the movie previews last night & I love it, it may be old news but it was the first time I had seen it. As well, Coldplay (see link HERE) keeps a blog on their website that has pictures of the puppets in every place they visit on this tour.
4. Five more days until our vacation starts. one week at our new seasonal residence, with perhaps a trip to Target.
5. yesterday, after one of those weeks, I was driving home after work (running late as usual), when a homeless (and possibly intoxicated) lady jaywalked in from of my car. I slowed down and drove around her but had to stop at the light...as I slowed down she walked back to my car and spit all over it... there was a part of me that was ready for a smack down but apparently I still had a small sliver of sanity left and decided that with no bail money available and the fact she was a rough & tough looking character it would be better to make my way home.
6. Kaeden has moved from his love of the Sham-Wow to the new "chopper" that will chop anything, you can even chop items with the skin left on and if we ordered right away we got a free one -he came tearing up the stairs excitedly and told me all about it. He is so funny when he talks about his infomercials and apparently "Vince" from Sham Wow fame is the one pitching this new chopper, he is a semi-celebrity in Kaeden's world.
7. I was struck by a bad case of the "inability to sleep" this week, if it carries onto next week I think I will have to put it to good use and get some things done around the house. Probably not mowing the lawn but maybe reorganize my craft room or alphabetize our movie collection
8. If there was one luxury I could have around the house it would be a housekeeper. I try to find joy in everything I do but housekeeping really challenges my resolve to be positive. Especially with a dog that is shedding a small chihuahua every day and a 6 year old that likes to shove his dirty clothes under couches and is unsure of the cleaning up after yourself theory.
9. I miss hockey already. It has only been 8 days since the last game but already I want the season to start.
10. I feel a creative firestorm coming on...I am not sure what it will lead to but something is brewing, I just need to put my figure on it and then the hardest part (Coldplay reference totally intended) is executing it.
