Just some thoughts in my head…

Blogging is a good way to procrastinate homework and cleaning organize my thoughts. Just saying.

I am so thankful for REI being located in the same state as I live. Quick shipping and…WATER PROOF RUNNING SHOES! The prospect of having dry feet is making me so happy. LOL. Maybe too happy.

In the grocery store this afternoon, I noticed Johnny Depp on the cover of People. It would appear that he is on the market again. Cocoa and Ben, if you read this, don’t tell Mama. Just kidding. Not even really.

Dear makers of exercise balls – these jokes of air pumps that you include with your devices will someday be featured on Snapped as the device that made somebody see red, black out and go on a rampage. You might want to start on a fund for that lawsuit. It’s coming.

Last night I got polled about whether I would vote for Newt Gingrich. I don’t know whether to be excited that it is known that our household is not anybody’s guaranteed vote, or disturbed that Newt Gingrich is a major candidate. Shrug. Tomorrow is Friday.

 

 

 

What a day.

Have you ever had a day where you covered so much ground (talked to teachers, met with friends, talked to more teachers, run errands, looked for documents you swear you gave to people…) that you just sat there thinking, “this day isn’t over, yet?” I’m right there and I’m still working on my homework pile. And it’s not even 6:00. Maybe I need a power nap or something.

This afternoon was so warm that – wait for it – we were outside with no jackets on. In January. There was even this mid day appearance by this huge, bright orb, that might have been the sun. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it, there is no telling.

rain.

The sound of water pouring through roof gutters woke me up, so I knew I’d be dealing with a lot of rain today. Yesterday, I had a precipitation break and it felt so wonderful to be outside and have nothing pouring on me. Did somebody complain that the weather was too dry? I don’t know what happened, but I know that there is water EVERYWHERE. I know it could be worse and we could be dealing with tornadoes, but we’re in a bad state of affairs when I have to upgrade to water resistant-running shoes to run and jog due to the rain that is falling on me while I wear a rain coat. If I see a salmon crossing the street, I will not be surprised.

11.72 miles.

I missed two days of walking/jogging/running whatever due to the holiday Monday and the snow day. This week, I’ve gone out in snow globe snow, rain and more rain. I’m glad that I did because I feel better equipped to deal with what has become my bottomless to do list.
