Stuff & Things #1

  • I messed up.  I’m the one who basically bullied Kristin into making this a link up–and then I went on some kind of blog hiatus and totally forgot all about it.  Either way, I’m here now.  But about that blogging hiatus thing?  I blame revisions.  And the fact that it’s my husband’s “spring break.”  Don’t get all excited–he’s still going in to work–just not until 10 or later, which means I’m staying up crazy late and sleeping in–and then trying to shift my gears into “work.”  Don’t stone me, but I’m much more productive when I wake up at the crack of dawn.
  • My no carb eating husband has finally been convinced that maybe it’s a better idea to eat a good proportion of a well-balanced meal instead.  So he’s all into the idea of the green smoothie which is a-ok by me because I love those things.  Mind you, we discussed the ingredients and then made a 10:30PM trip out to cookout.  We do what we want.
  • I’m on the Scandal train.  And it’s going warp speed.  I just started the second season.  I’ll blame this as another reason I’m staying up super late.  I’ve admitted here before that I’m not exactly the smartest person on the planet.  Don’t get me wrong–I can function as a normal human being–but I’m not tremendously smart.  A lot of what goes on on Scandal kind of goes over my head until it all “comes together” at the end.  I’m not ashamed to admit it.  Whatever.  I’m still enjoying it.
  • While I was visiting the BFF last weekend (which, by the way–awakened parts of my soul I didn’t even know were dormant)–we got to go out in civilization.  I know. I KNOW! We went to Buy Buy Baby (this former nanny knows way too much about little creatures that aren’t in her house), TARGET (do you hear those angels singing?) And Ulta.  Would you believe me if I told you all I bought was a $1 elf eye shadow brush and some sleeping pills?  I think I was just in shock to see actual live human beings and that prevented me from actually spending any money.  Target seemed like a museum of my past to me.  Just standing in there and breathing the air was good enough for me!  
You should definitely go and link up with Kristin!  There aren’t any rules!  Just link up!  Oh, and it would be polite if you linked back to her–but it’s not completely necessary because she’s wicked cool like that.

So my friend called me last week in a bit of a panic. Without really meaning to, she and her husband sold their house and bought a new one. I'd tell you the whole story about how someone randomly showed up on their doorstep putting in an offer on their house that...

  1. Target is my happy place. I definitely hear angels sing the minute my feet hit that special carpet at the entrance! 😉

  2. i'm glad that you guys are eating a balanced meal instead of cutting out major food groups. eating healthy is not about that; it's about eating the right things. carbs aren't the enemy! i eat carbs all the time, just the healthy versions 🙂

  4. I think I am going to Target on Saturday, it will my first time in almost an entire year and I'm just a little excited. It's not close enough for me to justify the drive often but it's going to be nice and I want out of this house!

  5. I think everything in moderation. Your body needs carbs for energy. It's true. I love that you went to the food store that late at night, that sounds like shit steve and I would do.
    Target is the happiest place on earth. Like Disney World. Only much better. I actually do a ton of my food shopping there because their coupons policy rocks!

  6. Angels sing every time I walk into Target. Thanks to so many baby showers I have way too many experiences with Buy Buy Baby too!

  7. Isn't Scandal the best thing that has ever happened to you?! I'm almost sad that I'm actually up to date now, because that means I have to wait for new episodes. No bueno!

  8. I bought a $3 elf eyeshadow palette at Target this weekend. That's my new favorite section, of my very favorite store, to spend money.

    I love the way you put #1 in the title. Let's hope I can remember to set it up more than one week in a row…I seriously had a reminder set on my phone so I wouldn't forget to set the linkup!
