Oh-So-Random

Today has been boring…and I’m in a random sort of mood, but I guess it’

s worth sharing. And most of my time in the next couple days will be spent working on something for Thursday rather than blogging…so things might be a little shallow. Bear with me, k? 😉

I spent Maelie’s morning nap time working on my talk for Thursday…I’m telling my Bible study friends all about Indo. About halfway through, I realized I forgot to order my favorite Indonesian candy on Amazon, and now it won’t arrive on time unless I pay ridiculous shipping prices.

So I spent the other half of her nap trying to find Asian markets in the area that might have it.

I came up with one that’s (semi) close…but by the time we drive there and back, the gas will cost more than the shipping.

I hate being forgetful.

I made a new kind of mac ‘n cheese for lunch, and it was terrible. It tasted like soap, and I can’t taste anything right now, so that says something. Maelie had one bite, and I could tell from the look on her face that she was not ok with it. I fed her something else.

I guess there was a reason it was on sale. 😉

Why is it that when I’m sick I never want to eat? I have no problem with food any other time.

All I have wanted today is Wheat Thins and orange juice. Not even chocolate sounds good…so sad.

I am blessed with an incredible daughter who, on days like today, is perfectly content to spend a lot of time playing in her pack and play or jumper. She can be close to me, but I can lie on the couch and rest.

We did have fun reading a couple books together, though…I really can’t wait til she’s past the phase of wanting to eat the pages. We read The Kissing Hand, which always makes me cry; and Goodnight Moon, which she turns the pages to all by herself. So cute.

I thought the lightning last night was so cool…and it reminded me of Indo.

We had a lot of good thunderstorms there. I was just getting home from Target when the lightning picked up, so I stayed outside for a minute or so to drink in the awesomeness.

I love a good thunderstorm.

This cold is kicking my butt…granted, I’m a baby less than tough when I’m sick, but this one is bad.

I think it’s because my sinuses are swollen. I might be on the upswing…today was a bit better than last night, so we’ll see. And after this one, I am bound and determined that

this is the last cold til next winter.

I think Peeps are awesome. Pretty sure most of the world does not agree.

I can’t get enough of the sugar-coated, marshmallowy gooeyness, and I actually think they’re best when they’ve been in the fridge for a day or so.

I even found Peeps chapstick in the Target dollar section…I totally bought it.

Oh, yeah…

TOMORROW IS ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES!

So kick off your shoes and go barefoot, ok?

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go paint my toenails so I can actually go barefoot.

Good night!
