No Nap Thursday

Why doesn't my kid ever look like that?

So today LN decided not to nap. I think I may write a post someday on the ramifications a No Nap day has on a kid, a mom and the universe as a whole. But today? Nope, today I'm just too tired and pressed for time. And I think we might have frozen pizza for dinner, it's just that kind of afternoon.

So in the spirit of No Nap Thursday I'm going to do a few more lists. Why? Well, because they're fun, easy to read and take little thought on my part. As for you? Well, I guess you think they're fun too, right?

Something I Wish I Could Do Today:
  • Knit in the Round: I have a great pattern for a hat that is knit flat and then sewed up. I can make a mean looking scarf. But more than two needles? Needles that are connected together? Can't figure it out for the life of me. At some point I need a lesson as making my own socks is a personal life goal.
One Thing I Am Looking Forward To:
  • Fall!: I cannot wait until the weather gets crisper. Bring on the sweaters, scarves and hot and comfy drinks. The leaves, baking, harvest, bonfires, Halloween, and cool mornings. I love being out in this weather. The slowing down of the season after a frenetic summer. Ah, bring on Fall.
Something Few People Know:
  • I Wanted to be a Special Effects Artist: For many years I wanted to become a special effects artist for the movies. The catina scene in Star Wars? Yeah, I wanted to create those creatures. My first two years in college I majored in Theatre. I wanted nothing more than to move to Hollywood and transform beautiful people to ugly monsters. Let's just say, things have changed.
What is something that you are looking forward to?
Something you wish you could do?

    We don't speak about what comes after Fall. That 'W' does not exist in my vocabulary. :) I just figure if we're not going to get a 'real' Summer we might as well get a great Fall!

    Looking forward to our girls weekend and hosting my sister's baby shower. I love Fall too. It is a renewing season for me every year. Maybe it is growing up in Texas but summer is usually my least favorite time of the year.

Confession #1

I don't fold and put away my clothes. Really, you'd think by the time I graduated from college, got married, bought a house and had a kid that I would be able to take care of myself. But no, there are still a number of things that I can't seem to get the hang of. Like laundry. Well, that's not true. I actually don't mind doing laundry. Washing and drying clothes is no big deal. (Let's not point out that a machine takes care all of it...shall we?) Even un-organized me has a day that I do laundry. Monday. Now granted, it is Tuesday and the first load went in about twenty minutes ago, but hey, I did bring it downstairs yesterday! The washing machine does it's job, the dryer theirs. So the laundry is done, it's been brought upstairs and I pile it on the bed in a overly idealistic display of domesticity; where it sits all day until the guy goes to bed and pushes it onto the floor. Now, if it's started out to be a good day, the pile will end up o...

Summer, circa 2002

That summer I always had the wind in my hair. We drove down highways and country roads with the windows down. Swam at the 'secret spot'. Sat on the front porch hoping to catch a breeze. That was a summer of freedom. Of late night drives and heat lightening. Making money and spending it as soon as it hit your wallet. I remember laughing so hard that tears came, living so hard that now it seems impossible that it was seven years ago. That summer I scooped ice cream. Cliched no? Shirts smelled of sour milk, belly sour from too many 'samples'. A crazy boss and a best friend. Cute boys and annoying tourists. Really, it was like a Lifetime movie, without the tragic crippled girl or the child molester. After work I'd walk down the street, see whose car was there. Hop in one and head off into the night. A hot sauna one night, swimming naked in the cool river the next. My friends never far behind. Stopping home long enough to change clothes, pick up a dry to...

Five Things I Find Utterly Amazing

I try and find the good in just about everything, and then immediately go and try to find how that annoys me. However, there are some things in life that I just can't get annoyed about, and here is that list. My list of completely Amazing, Uplifting, Wonderful and Sunshiney Bright with Rainbows things: 1.) New Windshield Wipers: How can anyone complain about new wipers? Ever since the first rainstorm I got caught in I have been a firm believer in new, workable wipers. Those $100 a piece blades you see in the store and think, "Who would be crazy enough to pay for those things?" Yeah, it's me. Nothing like a clean windshield my inter-friends. Makes me happy when the skies are gray (and wet). 2.) Mail: I absolutely love to get mail. Doesn't matter from whom, or what it's about. Could care less if it's snail or electronic. There's nothing that puts a spring in my step like the sound of mail being dropped into the mail box. Equally as exciting ...
