Five Things


Today has been a day already and it's only 2pm. That said I'm going to give you the list of the Five Things that I could use right now. Don't be surprised if you're underwhelmed. I'm a simple girl after all.
  1. Diet Coke: Just one can please. I've drank all of the coffee I could possibly drink today but am still in need of a caffeine pick up. Why don't they have Diet Coke delivery services?
  2. A sleeping child: Or at least one that sleeps more than thirty minutes at a time. Seriously you're not even two and when do you expect mama to get all of this stuff done?
  3. Fingernail clipper: I resorted to clipping off a broken nail with a scissors because I could not for the life of me find one in the house. We used to have four, now I can find none. Where would they go?
  4. Roku Digital Player: I could stream all of the Dora and bad television I wanted from Netflix with one of these bad boys. Must remember to put on my Christmas list.
  5. A plan for dinner: Seriously I love to cook and bake but finding recipes that three people will enjoy that are fast and nutritious? Torture some days. Need some help yourself? Check out allrecipes.com, you can search my collection, ingredient, course. It's usually my fall back place for inspiration.

What could you use today?

  1. Does Netflix work in Switzerland? I thought it only worked in the US. . . do tell! If it works here, I want that box too! :)

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 ...
