Outside my window…
I know it’s dark, I think it’s still pretty warm though… Silly Mother Nature, she just doesn’t know what to do with California this time of year. If I had her number I would give her some advise, SEND US SOME COLD WEATHER!!!
I am thankful…
For having such a good little girl! Sure, she gets into things she shouldn’t and she is just starting that hitting and throwing stage, but she eats like a champ and she doesn’t fuss too much about bed time. I can be thankful for that. She is a good girl though…
I am thinking about…
Disneyland… I must admit I am a bit green with envy for all of my Facebook friends that have been posting the last few weeks with their happy adventures. We have been going to Disneyland every October for somewhere near 15 years and it is looking like we will be missing out this year. I know, I should be thankful for all the years we got to take two or three trips in a year but this year has been a bit rough for me and I was really looking forward to a vacation. Sue me why don’t cha!

Learning all the time…
Sure! Why not!!! Learning that if I just “DO” something instead of “thinking” of doing it, things actually get done! You’d think I knew that one already!

From the kitchen…
Oh the kitchen again! Well, it’s clean now… We have been avoiding the kitchen. Sure, we do quick breakfasts, lunches and dinners. We use the minimal amount of appliances and cookware to avoid heating up the place and making too much of a mess. I am just not really all that into my kitchen right now…

I am creating…
I bought zippers today! Haven’t really done much sewing lately. I’ve picked up a few projects, looked at the things I need to get going, then I find something else to do. I made myself a diaper bag last year but ran out of time and just threw it together to make it done. I finally took it apart and bought the zipper I need to finish. Maybe I will throw a few stitches in and finally get it done right this year!

I am working on…
Walking. I had to go in to the doctors to have my three-hour blood draw last week for gestational diabetes. Apparently I am “borderline” so they have to do the extra testing. Although I keep telling myself that I am “working on” walking, I really haven’t made a real effort. The last few days I have busted out the Wii balance board and done some significant damage! I am incredibly sore so I did a bit less walking today but still got in about 20 minutes. I know I should be getting off my duff and going outside to walk, I am just not that into walking! At least with the Wii I can switch channels during my 30 minute walks and catch up on my shows! It makes me feel less guilty about all my programs…

I am going…
To work. That is what I do. Normally I have other things to look forward to, like Disneyland, but we have no trips planned in our near future and that has me a bit down-in-the-dumps. Not gonna lie or make up funny stories about it, I’m pretty pissed off…

I am hoping…
That I will magically find a winning lottery ticket so I can plan a vacation! Tee-hee… You see, I don’t actually play the lottery that would take the little money I have away from my one-Starbucks-a-week fund! And that is so not going to happen!

I am reading…
I finished Wuthering Heights. Is it weird that I liked it? Probably not. The build-up reviews read like it was so dark and strange. Maybe for the time that it was written, but currently, it fits right into everyday life! I am going to try to set aside a bit of time every night before bed to read a little. I know, Yoda says there “is not try, only do or do not” but Yoda was never seven months pregnant with a one-year-old and working full time. The force may have been with him, but I seriously doubt there would never have been a “try” in there!

I am praying…
I read something the other day that went something like “God I only ask for the things I thanked you for yesterday.” So, that is what I will keep doing. Being thankful for the things I do have, my house, good health, my family and friends, food on my table, clothes on my back, gas for my car and a car that runs! For all the little things that fill up my day even when I am too busy to notice, air, clouds, trees and grass (even when my allergies bug me!). I really am thankful, even if I whine about life every now and then!

I am hearing…
Hubby is watching the news in the other room. Fan is going… The house is usually pretty quite at this time of day. Hence all the late-night blog entries!

Around the house…
Oh the house! Little has done an amazing job with the living room! It is officially destroyed! We’ve gotten a few magazines for American Girl and My Twinn dolls, so I thought since Little is really into her baby dolls lately, and is always “reading” her books, I would let her look at the magazines! Oh yeah, that was smart mommy! At first she did fine, flipped through the pages just like a big girl! But as soon as mommy and daddy were out of the room, the page-ripping commenced! Maybe I will find the energy tomorrow to pick it all up…
One of my favorite things…
Favorite things… That is a hard one today (or this weekend at all)… Thinking… Gonna resort to one I have used before! Rocking Little at bedtime! It really is one of my favorite parts of the day!!!

A few plans for the rest of the week…
Work. That’s about it. Oh, and trying to get the house put back together. It really feels like we get one room done each week, and in a four bedroom house, that really isn’t getting much done!

Random thought…
Okay, please forgive me, but I don’t know what this 99% is… Do you? I keep seeing posts on Facebook about people being the 99%. Well, I don’t know what that is, but I am not part of it. I suppose I could be and just not know. But the fact is, I am not a protester. I am a do-er. I work for what I have. I know there are people that want to, will try, and may take what I have worked for away from me. I refuse to let that stop me from what I do. I do not like protesters. I think they are a waste of space and air. I get very angry when I see people protesting the war, protesting soldiers. My advise, “GET A JOB AND A LIFE!” Yes, I understand, it is their right to do what they do. So, as long as they stay out of my way, I will go on ignoring them, even when they stop me at the grocery store or farmer’s market to sign their petition. I will not sign their petition. I don’t give money to people standing out on the street either. I know, I know, I’m just acting like a hard-ass. Fact is, everyone has an agenda. I’m not going to waste my time figuring out what another person’s bottom line is. I’m busy, I have a house to clean!

Here are picture thoughts I am sharing with you….
Because I am still in a mood about Disneyland, here are some from the past…
And a video of my favorite Alice!!! Sorry about the screaming, I was very excited to see this particular Alice’s first performance! FYI, you may want to turn your speakers down a bit…
