People love giving their opinion. Seriously, if you want to make someones day, ask their opinion on something.
However, people rarely want to hear YOUR opinion. This is also serious. If ever in doubt, just say to yourself, "No one cares what I think." I have to remind myself of this almost daily.
It is incredibly interesting to me how some people are content to stay where they are in life. I, on the other hand, have no desire to stay where I am in any area. Spiritually, financially, mentally, geographically, with my relationships, etc....I want all of these things to grow and improve and change and get better and better, not stay the same. I don't ever want to find myself content to stand still.
It is impossible to ever finish laundry. If you are currently wearing clothes you are already behind.
A close friend is getting ready to move back to the great state of OK and I am pretty excited. We weren't super close friends in college, but with time and different circumstances we have reconnected and I am looking forward to seeing her and her kiddos.
I wish that Jason only worked a four day work week. Having him home on Mondays would be awesome.
I am going to be making PW's citrus cookies this week for a friend who is having a baby. I am secretly overjoyed that I will be able to have one or two before I take them to her.
After learning I am vitamin d deficient and starting to take vitamin d, I have started losing weight. This is pretty exciting news for someone who has been trying and trying to get rid of this baby weight! On the other hand, I have no idea how I am not getting enough d when I am outside with the girls daily.
I love the Olympics, but after reading some interesting online articles about how the athletes spend their free time, I love them a little less.
Going to Target, without my kids, even to grocery shop, is pretty exciting stuff.
There are lots of things that I say now that I never thought I would say. Examples include, "because I said so," "stop licking your sister," "we DON'T touch poop," and, "just sit down and finish watching barney."
This morning when Molly woke up she was crying for her mommy. When I got her and laid her down with me she said, "NO, my OTHER mommy." She proceeded to tell Jason she wanted the other mommy that was in the garage. She did describe the other mommy as looking like me, but NOT me and for sure in the garage. Not sure what to do with that at 6am.
I love avocados. Like L.O.V.E. them.
The weather in OK is killing me. I am totally in favor of moving at this point. Places I would consider moving include, Seattle, Portland, or anywhere in Wyoming.
Being a vegetarian isn't really that hard for me. Going vegan would be much, much, much harder, but vegetarian is a breeze.
I wish that I could erase people's memory about who I was in high school. Or college for that matter. I wish people only knew me as I am now, not the mess I was before.
Last random thought of the day..............
I need a good book to read. If you have a suggestion, let me know.
Excellent post this morning..I really connected with the following:

Love your random thoughts! It's wonderful to let your mind wander and your fingers type :) I'm with you on the weather...here in NJ we are finally getting a teeny tiny break from the high humidity which has been so nice. {except that I know it's coming back!!}
ReplyDeleteWith you on the high school thing. I'm so different from the person I was then, and I'm so glad about that!!
Love this!! I loved who you were in college and while I know you're not the same girl (me neither, praise the Lord), I can't wait to get to know the current you and HANG OUT!! Random thoughts are why I started blogging in the first place...love this!
ReplyDeleteBook ideas - Have been hearing about a book called Wild, by Cheryl Strayed. True story about a woman who backpacked over 1000 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail by herself, for 3 months. Haven't read it yet myself, but certainly sounds interesting. Another one is called Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand - true story about an Olympic runner who was part of a plane crew that crashed in the Pacific during WW II, spent many days adrift on a raft that sharks were attacking, was saved/captured by the Japanese, and then spent two years in POW camps in horrendous conditions. Unbelievable story of survival, the resilience of the human spirit, and of the power of God to bring forgiveness and hope. I know it sounds gruesome, and much of it was, but also so inspiring. Louie Zamperini is his name and he's in his 90s now. You can google him and see his appearance on Jay Leno show in June - even if you don't want to read the book, that's worth seeing.
ReplyDeleteI just told Nick last night we needed to move to Seattle! I miss rain.
ReplyDeleteI laugh often at things I have to say on a daily basis.
I read a lot of fiction so it depends on what you like. I like Erynn mangum's lauren holbrook series if I need a laugh.
Jane Austen is my go to for a good read.
And I was recently surprised by Jane eyre. I thought I would not be able to get into it and I was hooked. I think that mr. Rochester is a bit of a whiner but she is amazing. I am a bit of an addict when it comes to books...
