C'mon Man Wednesday

Inspired by the guys on ESPN's Monday Night Football show, I thought I would do a different take on my random posts (especially since Cris over at Goodeness Gracious did one of her fun random posts today and I don't want to look like I am copying her! :)

My car is attracted to curbs. I swear. Somehow it has hit two this week, one in front of the frozen yogurt shop. Oops.

C'mon Man!!

Staying on the car theme...have you ever seen anyone driving around with their coffee mug on top of the car or their purse on the trunk? Did you laugh?

That was me this week. I set my cup of water on the roof so I could open the door without spilling my coffee. I pulled out of the parking lot and drove about 100 yards before hearing something hit the car. I drove another 100 yards before I realized what it was.

C'mon Man!! Oh well, hopefully I made someone chuckle.

What is it with bloggers writing awesome posts lately?

From laugh-out-loud funny ones, like Jent's story about her boy with no pants and HIMYF's engagement ring shopping escapades, to posts that made me stop and think, like Leah's post that asks if we are all fat, uppity Americans.

C'mon Man!! I wish I could write posts like these.

And finally...I just found out that there will no more new iCarly shows. No more Random Dancing. No more Spencer setting their apartment on fire.

C'mon Man!! Wait a minute...what did you say? No, I am not a 12-year-old girl, but I love me some iCarly.

Here I Am, Back At It

Three weeks.

It's been almost THREE weeks since I've updated this blog. That seems like an eternity.

I've wanted to blog.

I've had funny moments, great inspirations and even a sweet treat to feature.

Unfortunately, a spring cold (or allergies or an lien being) got a hold of me in mid-March and JUST left. Seriously, this morning was the first in about 17 days that I didn't either sleep 15 hours a day, wake up congested, OR have a 10-minute coughing fit.

You are very welcome for that bit of over-sharing. I promise that's it...no more talk of bodily functions!

I feel like my family, friends and co-workers have wanted to say this to me...

But now that I feel almost 100 percent (still packing the tissues and cough drops in my purse), I've decided that I am going to challenge myself to either post on here every day in April OR at least comment on other blogs daily.

I do have some stuff to catch you up on...even though I felt crummy, I was really busy. There was a trip to Columbus, Ohio with my oldest sister and nephews, spring evenings at the cabin with the family, some fun work events and an exciting giveaway to tell you about tomorrow.

What's the longest time you've gone between posts? Can you beat 19 days?

See y'all tomorrow!

Wearing Sandals on Leap Day

This was taken at 7:45 p.m. on Feb. 28.

Are you thinking I'm in Florida? Nope, I'm not.

I'm at home...in Indiana and it was 51 degrees at 7:45 p.m. at the end of February - how crazy is that?

That's it. That's all I have.

Good night all. I'm going to pick out my sundress and sandals for tomorrow!

Random Posting 2012 Style

I took a look around my house today and realized that I had a lot of randomness going on...perfect for another round of Random Posting!!!

I just can't make myself put this away. I'm not sure why. I think I see it as a representation of all that is good about my four nephews.

I had all four of them spend the night the week after Christmas and it was bedlam. Actually, it was a lot of fun. They are loud, messy and always asking for candy. They get out EVERY toy that is in my closet, including the Jenga game. 

Now they never play Jenga...just use it to build stuff to knock over later. However, they are very good about picking up the toys (after I tell them a couple of times and threaten them with no more candy). 

I looked over during clean up time and the two youngest nephews were stacking up the Jenga game the way I taught them - except for the one missing piece at the bottom. It just made me smile...

Sticking with the nephew theme, here are the two youngest and they stick-on ties that I got them.

Don't they look fancy?

Have you taken down your Christmas tree and decorations yet?

Obviously, you know how I would answer that question! 

I decorate mostly with snowmen so I can keep them up through January but I really need to take the tree down this week. Mainly because my niece is coming to stay with me while her parents abandon her go on a cruise and her bed looks like this right now...

It's a holding bin for my holiday storage bins and some new decorations I bought after Christmas.

Speaking of clutter...I did accomplish a couple decluttering projects while I was off of work during the holidays, including the pantry in my laundry room. 

The pantry holds a bunch of random items, including my huge supply of plastic bags, foil, wax paper and garbage bags. I actually called my mom while cleaning out this section and told her that I might just be a hoarder after finding 6 boxes of wax paper and 10 boxes of aluminum foil. Her response was "bring me some foil and do you have any quart size bags?"

I sent her 3 boxes of foil, a box of wax paper and 3 boxes of plastic bags! 

That's it for this round of Random Posting...until next time!
