Because I haven’t time or mental capacity for anything more prophetic…you get random fragments of thought…

1. After my contact ripped last week, I finally replaced my glasses with a new pair of contacts today. I feel so much better.

2. Part of the reason I rushed out to get the contacts today is because I’m going to a party with a few of the wonderful, beautiful and friendly Indy Area Bloggers.  I’m vain (and/or self-conscious) enough that I didn’t want to go out in my glasses.  Well, that coupled with the fact that we’re playing Just Dance on the Wii and I couldn’t do that with my glasses on, or see the screen with them off. Yup, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

3. In one week I’ll have a dog.  She’s a sweet, beautiful dog and we don’t have to keep her.  My parents are going on a vacation and we’re dog-sitting.  This will be the second time we’ve dog sat. She’s always a joy to have in our house.  The girls love her.

4. Still making gifts for Christmas. It’s never ending…until it’s over.

5. The kids were off today for ‘teacher inservice’ because the trimester is ended (yes, tri-mester. school year is divided into threes instead of quarters. annoying).  What’s really super annoying about this is that we had Fall Break 2 weeks ago and in 2 weeks in Thanksgiving.  THIS day off is totally unnecessary.

6. Brandon has straight A’s (sort of…we’re working on the Science teacher…something happened and a grade wasn’t counted…hopefully I caught her before the day is over).  If it’s not straight A’s, it’s all A’s and one B+.  I’ll take it. Making it even better is his Pre-Algebra grade…a 101% A+.  101%!!  That’s a grade I never saw…I got a lot of A’s, but never over 100!!

7.  As of Monday he won’t be in band any longer, he’ll be in general music.  A lack of interest from him coupled with the cost made it a decision that was necessary if not totally loved (he did have promise, after all).

8. In case you hadn’t noticed my button, I’m attempting to do NaBloPoMo this year.  The OTHER (but no more Ordinary) Sarah asked who’d do it with her and I went and waved my hand…so if I don’t post she’ll laugh at me.  And I just cant have that.  😉

9. Emily was coveting some fingerless gloves off Etsy, so I offered up some of my yarn stash and will be delivering these tonight:
They were so quick and easy to whip up, I’m very happy with them.  I admit that a few years ago I was a determined-to-love-it knitter.  I wanted to, I hated that I was ‘slow’…the patterns were so confusing.

In the past six months that’s all changed. I’ve been whipping things up left and right.  A scarf that I started 3 years ago and gave up on as ‘too difficult’ is now complete and blocked. Some of my Christmas gifts are knit.  I’ve gone from a determined-to-love-it knitter to totally obsessed. I WANT.YARN. GOOD.YARN. LOTS.  My stash just isn’t ever going to be enough.  Oh, and more needles…and…yes, I’m obsessed.

10.  I’ve figured out that thanks to earned Gift Cards from Swagbucks and Opinion Outpost…and our reward zone credits every “thing” left to buy for Brandon will be bought for free. Beyond that we’ll be spending some for clothes, but the kids are done. Just one or two things left for nieces and nephews and we’re done…oh, and each other. But I’m pretty much done w/ hubby’s.

12. I’ve wasted too much time here today.

13. Last time I did this I didn’t get any response, but I had very few readers….so I’m going to try again.  Totally stealing it from Sarah, but hey…anything to get through the month.  Ask me any questions…I’m answering them all.  What do you want to know about me???
