This post doesn’t have a title. Read it anyway

To take a note out of Krisin’s binder, I’m doing one of her Stuff and Things posts.  Because stuff and things are going on.

Sometimes I do my hair and make up.  

Today is not one of those days.

But yesterday was.

I felt the need to document it.  It’s a rarity these days.

1. It’s 12:45PM on Thursday.  I woke up this morning, took a shower and put fresh pajamas on.  It’s freezing and all of the things I need to accomplish are inside the house.  Judge away.

2. Dealing with the insurance company and hospitals is starting to make me cringe.  It’s almost like these people don’t want to get paid.

3. I need to sell my book.  I also need to finish the book I’m currently working on.  

4. I have been hinting painlessly to the husband what I really want for Christmas.  He made the mistake a few weeks ago about joking about it (it would basically be the shift of ownership of something we already have–so it would essentially be free).  I’ll go into more detail if he actually does it.

5. I’ve had a few run ins with people in the last couple weeks that have just left me standing there blinking thinking “how do you function in life?”  These have also made me realize that age is just a number.  

6. I spent Wednesday at my parents house.  We left Bailey unattended for about an hour (the first time we did that there).  My mom has a pretty sizable collection of Disney stuffed animals in the entryway as Christmas decor.  I was pretty sure Bailey would make a snack of one of them.  Luckily–they were surrounding an animatronic Caroling Mickey & Minnie display that moves (if you can’t tell–my parents’ house is quite disnified).  Bailey was terrified of the display and therefore the stuffed animals were left untouched.  Win.

7. In one week at this time I will no longer have a gall bladder.  I feel like so much has been leading up to this decision that it took a little while to sink in that…oh, it’s surgery.  I’ve had plenty of surgeries in my lifetime (read: I’m a sick girl), and they’ve never worried me before.  For some reason I have a tiny bit of nerves in the pit of my belly.  I’m sure they’ll all go away the moment I sink my teeth into my first cheeseburger in months.

8. I took pictures for a different kind of post earlier this week.  I am not very good at the whole “selfie” thing.  But I hope it’s something you guys like.  I’ll work on getting that up soon.

9. I was irrationally jealous when Texas got snow last week.  We had a thunder storm in the middle of the night on Saturday last week and that usually means that 10 days later it will snow.  I’m holding you to that–universe.

10. I want to always remember last night.  Picking J up from the airport at 11:30 last night was just a happy memory.  We were both so happy to see each other–Bailey looked on from inside the car in the cutest way when we hugged.  And we had an hour drive home in the middle of the night where we just talked and talked and it was just…a happy moment.   

11. I was going to stop at 10, but Lauren just sent me a picture she drew of my devil gall bladder.  She says he’s sad because he’s getting evicted.  This is why I love her.

  3. I knew if I kept up with that Stuff and Things nonsense for long enough it would catch on 🙂

    I only feel the need to do my hair and makeup for work. Otherwise, it seems like a waste.

  4. Also, also! You should have an awesome editor read your books for you. Even if she is moving to California. :0)

  6. LOL the pic Lauren drew is cracking me up. Sad little devil! I love your bangs. I was a bit jealous of the snow too. If it's already gonna be that cold here, just go ahead and bring on the snow!

  7. I would like some more elaboration on #5, please! And apparently the secret to dog training is animoatronic figures – who knew? That picture of you is so great and thanks for including the devil gallbladder. Now I want to draw all the things in paint!
