Notes.

As a blogger I am constantly making little notes to myself about things I would like to blog about.  High on this list is the randomness which is my brain and our wild little life.  When I sat down to type this post I laughed out loud at all the little notes I had pecked into my Notes app on my phone through out our week.  You guys, this is just me.  This is my crazy brain and honest to God I can’t believe any of you stop by to even read 🙂  Thank you!!!  Here were my notes:

*Dancing Honda Civic dude.  When I’m driving one of the highlights of my driving experience is often the car dancer.  This is the person in front of me who I can see jammin’ out to some good tunes and they are not afraid to show it.  The other day I was behind this guy in a Honda Civic and he was gettin’ down, like so much so that it occurred to me, “Maybe he’s not groovin’ to his jam, but yet yelling and fighting with his lady passenger”.  I mean, there we’re a lot of hand motions.  A LOT.  Well this straight up got the better of me and I just had to find out.  Full speed ahead.  “Oh I’m sorry children mother cannot have this important Jesus conversation right now because I must find out if this gentleman is dancing or fighting with his female companion.”  This is my brain.  I positioned the ole van as to not appear too crazy…Me?  Crazy?  Never!…and I was so relieved he was rockin’ out to his beat.  I then conjured up his epic playlist and what his girlfriend’s name was…it had to be his girlfriend…not his sister or cousin or just friend…only a girlfriend would best fit his story…it was Josephine by the way.  She was a total Josephine.

*Tuna.  I can’t remember if I’ve shared this already, but I have been making some killer tuna lately which Josh Kelley, Amon and myself love.  1 can tuna drained, good.  Random amount of mustard, good. A few spoonfuls of plain greek yogurt, good.  2 boiled eggs chopped, good.  Chopped pickles, good.  Josh Kelley had the audacity to say “Did you go heavy on the pickles this time?”  To which I responded, “There is no such thing.”  Pickle lovers unite.

BTW:  I’m starting a new pickle jar ministry.  I feel like this will be all the rage and it will take off like wildfire.

*New shoes.  This is a testament to the Brooks Pure Flow (1st generation) running shoes.  I even did a search on my own blog because I wanted to see when these sweet babies entered my life.  I did some estimating based off of HERE (don’t get me even started on baby Amon…I die) and determined these shoes have assisted my feet in running many many miles since around May of 2013.  And now…

This is just one of 3 holes.  And sadly, I’m still not sure I’ll go buy another pair just yet.  The extra weird part of me wants to see just how far my shoes and I could go together.  I’ll report back.

*Amon’s books.  Every day at nap time Amon picks a book out for us to read and every day he chooses one of these four.  Never for a second does he waiver.  He is currently crazy obsessed with 2 things…1) Baseball and 2) Bears.  And if you’re wondering, Choco’s mom is a bear.

 

*Amon baseball.  Yeah, so obsessed.  He would play baseball all day long.  Me throwing to him.  Him throwing to me.  Me throwing and him hitting.  Him throwing and me trying to hit his fastball.  The sooner we get this kid on a team the better.  Yesterday after he hit several zingers in a row he came over to me hand raised ready for a high-5 and said “High five.  I mash & pound.”  He’s clearly got a confidence issue.  And we’re also clearly succeeding in teaching our kids humility 🙂

*Beans.  So over the last two weeks I’ve taken something to the dry cleaners and I made my first thing of pinto beans.  I have officially arrived to adulthood…forget marriage and all these small humans.  Dry cleaning and pinto beans are where it’s really at.  I used THIS RECIPE and they were awesome!!!!  I did make cornbread muffins too, but we shall never speak of them again.

**Difret trailer.  I watched this trailer and can’t shake it.  Will definitely be figuring out how we can watch this one.

*Purging gift basket.  My life continues to cycle through a series of normal, normal, stressed, super stressed, purge the house, normal.  It’s like my life coping mechanism.  I’m hard wired people.  Anyways, I have this basket I keep full of gift items to give on any random occasion.  It stays in our cabinet piece in our living room and well, I was feeling a tad stressed the other night, looked at the cabinet and thought -It’s on. The end result was more stuff being donated, but I also decided to empty my gift basket.  I immediately started brain storming and item by item I figured out just the right recipients for each gift.  I packaged them all up yesterday and away they went this morning.  And now I can breath a little easier.

And those are all my notes for the week.  Some of you may feel a tad dumber now 🙂  Some of you might come back again.  Either way, happy Friday party people!  The weekend is here.

  1. I’m so happy to learn I’m not the only person that has a gift basket. Actually, mine is a gift cardboard box but I digress. My husband is baffled that I buy gifts without a person or purpose in mind but I can’t tell you how many times it has worked out awesomely. Rock on gift basket lady!
