Goings On

July 22, 2005

Wow. Busy week, people. I'll hit the highlights, since I haven't been able to blog much this week.

1. More pilates, more kicking of my butt. However, I realized yesterday that my body is starting to comply, albeit grudgingly. I still can't put my foot behind my head, but we all need to dream, right?

2. Our old babysitter- she's not actually old, but she doesn't babysit for us anymore- she came by and watched the kids for me for a few hours Thursday. Holly is such a sweetheart. She took them on a picnic, and they all nearly perished of heat exhaustion. The heat index was like 110, and I'm not kidding. Too hot to do anything! But it gave me a few hours to run some errands, and wish that I was shopping instead.

3. Got caught in a downpour when I was jogging yesterday. The first few drops, I was all "yay!! Mother Nature is cool!" Two minutes later, Mother Nature was not cool. She was trying to drown me. And don't think I'll forget it, either. Next time Mother Nature needs something from me, well, HA. I shake my fist at you!

4. I am starting a small sewing project (because I just have too much free time!). It's a mini-wedding dress for Wrenn. No, she's not having a mini-wedding. But she's been wanting a dress to play in, and dear sweet Grandma, told her, Oh, Mommie can make you one! I'll buy the material! Mmm. My response, Oh, Wrennie- you can have a new flat screen tv and ipod, because Grandma is buying me you one!! Anyway, it's a simple pattern, and won't take me long, and she'll have hours of fun in it, so why not?

5. Am drooling over the new HP. Anybody done yet? You know my policy on buying books, but sometimes... dangit. I hate the wait! It will be ages before the library has an available copy. If I sit here, pitiful, will it make you hurry up and finish so I can borrow it?

6. Look what I got this week, for no reason in particular. Props to the other half!

7. I made a tape, for running. I got tired of the cd jumping all over the place, so I busted out the walkman. Oh, okay, I didn't bust it out. I wasn't exactly thrilled with the proposition. You know how hard it is to even find blank tapes in the store? I had to ask the salesman, and he was all laughing under his breath at me, the jerk. I feel so... eighties. And not the part we all think of with great nostalgia, like banana clips or legwarmers. It's so bulky, I can barely keep it hooked to my shorts, and I'm not sure, but I think I actually got pointed at the other day! Wah. Upside though- even though the music was sort of slurry sounding, I totally got my groove on. (which, incidentally, may be the actual cause of the pointing, now that I think about it.)

8. Okay, time to go make lunch. Enough bloggie for now. Will attempt to write something substantial this weekend, and not just bulletpoint my week. However, I also attempt to get out of my pajamas before lunchtime every day, but that doesn't always happen either. C'est la vie.

We all finished it by Tuesday. All being Candice, Will, Stephen and myself. It is excellent! I really don't think Rowling should have killed Sauron though...I know he didn't say much, but his eye was so easy to dislike. Now where is she going to get a better bad guy for book 7? Maybe Voldemort can turn Frodo to the dark side and then Ron can sing "Into the West" to bring him back...
I hope I didn't spoil the ending for you...
