Ten.

  1. The month of March around here has become almost laughably busy. It's pretty insane when someone invites you over for dinner and the total number of evenings you have available for the entire month is four - and those aren't until the very end of the month... how did this happen?
  2. The snow is melting! Finally, we can see grass. The gross part is that when your grass is covered by snow for so long, when it melts, your grass has snow mold. Yuck.
  3. Poor Gracie has a strange pattern of hair loss known as Seasonal Flank Alopecia. It's sort of like Seasonal Affective Disorder in humans... and leads to circular patches of baldness on her sides. It's caused by a lack of sunlight. You can bet I've been getting her outside as much as possible since we got the diagnoses. It's a harmless problem, but it sure looks funny. She should start regrowing hair in the next couple of months.
  4. I spent lots of money at Target yesterday. What is it about that store that makes me feel like I need everything I see?
  5. We had a super fun weekend at the store with Donna Downey. She taught four classes - two of which I got to take. Kathy and I went out to dinner with her Saturday after the store closed. Loved chatting with her about the industry and her experiences.
  6. Kyler finally got his hands on Super Smash Bros. Brawl - a new Wii game he's literally been waiting months for. He used birthday gift cards and money he'd saved to get it. Now of course, he can hardly believe we're holding to our 'no game system play on weekdays' rule. We're such mean parents.
  7. I bought the new Colbie Caillat CD, after listening to it in Corey's car the whole time I was in Alberta. Love it.
  8. Hoping to get some new glasses next month... I'm ready for something different and the insurance $ will be there... love getting new glasses.
  9. Tejan came back on Saturday - so I'm back to four kids again.
  10. Happy Tuesday, dear ones. Smooch you all!

    Oh, my teenO got it too. He saved & saved & pre-ordered and then forced me to go to a midnight launching! *LOL* He even participated in a tournament at the store. You've never seen so many teenage boys so happy!

    Maybe those two can play together? TeenO tells me he can play with others through wifi. I have no idea how it works though.

    What a fun thing to take a class from Donna! I hope you show us what you made!

    Snow mold?! I had never even heard of it - yuck!
    And Target is a money sucker for sure :0) I love going there but hate how much I always end up spending!
    Sounds like a fun evening with DD

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
