Turbo Tuesday

Turbo because I have so many thoughts! All random. All deserving of their own bullet points.

  • Today I had Josie sit in her bumbo chair. What what?? She's old/big enough to sit up like that already?? She was so excited at first too, but then she realized she had to concentrate to keep her balance. A whole half hour later and she was finally ready to move on. That is a record for her attention span.
  • I had it all planned out to go for a run with Jo and Buck and then it rained. I feel like this happens to me all the time.......gaahh!
  • I'm making a couple of mobiles for Jo's crib but I can only work on them in spurts before I get completely overwhelmed. Then a while later I look down and realize that the next step is so easy and jump back in again. Silly me.
  • I started reorganizing some drawers in my kitchen which prompted me to throw out even more food. Its sick how much I keep, waste, and throw. Sorry, starving children in Africa.
  • I get a free pedi/mani!! Long story short - my friend mentioned to someone how bad of an experience we had at a certain location in town and she passed it on to the owner who said that she thought we should get a free trip to make up for it!! But here's the thing...isn't it going to be awkward when we don't pay because they will obviously know that we complained??
  • Whoa work again in a week and half. Don't worry about me, just panicking over here!
  • I bought myself a pair of shoes to wear that are casual and not flip flops. After having ankle trouble from the cheap flippy floppies, I new I had to do something and I've actually thought this for a super long time but can never find anything I like. Then I stare in my closet when I am in jeans and can't figure out what shoes to wear. I wish my brain worked all the time instead of just sometimes.
  • Everyone should feel sorry for my husband because we will be living off of some strange meals for the next couple of weeks as I try to get rid of some random old food that isn't bad yet. Seriously why we/I leave so many things and why we/I even buy most of it in the first place is a mystery.
  • I want to wear my wedding ring but it is still tooooo tight. I miss looking married.
  • Mike weeded the front flower garden yesterday and it looks 100% better. It overwhelmed me, so I just left it, but he being the ridiculously hard worker had to conquer it and conquer it he did. Makes me proud. :)

Love them.

This picture reminds me that I need to post pics of Josie's room! Wow I really fell behind on that one. Oops!

Gmail email

Today I signed up for a Gmail account. I've had hotmail since I was in middle school, same account and everything. I was always proud of it because it wasn't embarrasing or unprofessional. But... after saying it to a million people/businesses/websites, I am ready for something a little more... fresh, new, not bogged down with junk.

I don't really know what I think of Gmail. There are some nice things, but I haven't had it long enough to be on board 100%. What do you think? Are you a fan of hotmail, yahoo, gmail, or something different?

She's grown so much since then, when she was only 2 weeks old! Enjoy. :)

3

I ran 3 miles today. Wait, I should be totally honest. I ran/walked (mostly walked) 3 miles today. I figured out that it is 2.94 miles to my sis's apt and back. That is pretty much the perfect distance so she better be expecting me to visit her more often ;).

Although when I DO visit her mid run, she should actually answer the buzzer and come and say hi, not stay in the shower and force me to have awkward conversation with the one roommate I don't know. Oh well...
