2) i had planned on making all kinds of festive valentine goodies but am reconsidering due to my new eating plan. i was planning on making these... (as well as a few adorable others)
aren't they just adorable!!!??? you can find the recipe and instructions on marthastewart.com (of course!). funny though- i typically bake tons of goodies and never actually end up eating any of it. i love to take it to my friends and loved ones- i feel like since it's made with love, there's no better way to say "hey you! i love you! i appreciate you! enjoy a cupcake a made with love." BUT given my new diet plan, i just don't want to put myself in a situation where im tempted and baking delicious goodies might just send me over the edge. we'll see...
3) i didn't ever actually catch the outcome of groundhog day, but didn't the groundhog stay out for a while? and i could be wrong, but doesn't that typically mean winter is coming to an end? that's what i thought, but honestly- i could be totally wrong. here's the reason i ask... it's cold! it's gray! it's gloomy and frigid, and my front steps have ice on them! the weather man is calling for more snow tomorrow. is it me or is this just plain obnoxious? and what was the groundhog thinking staying out and about like that anyway? doesn't he KNOW that my hopes and dreams for an early spring kind of depend on him? id gotten my hopes all up for nothing. thanks mr. groundhog, you suck.
4) the increase in water with this new eating plan im doing has got me pee-ing 86 times a day. i wish i could say that, that's a dramatic representation of the truth, but i can't. cause it's not. i have pee-ed more in the last 24 hours than i do in an average week combined.
5) i think a trip to colorado is in order. i would love the opportunity to go "home" and visit my brother craig and sister-in-law tara. they are such fun. and it'd be fun to try to catch some "old" friends who seem actually to be more concerned with me and my life these days than most.
6) every night (at least three times) bristol anne hops down off of the bed and stretches. im guessing what happens is that she gets too hot and needs to get some air. (she insists on barricading herself beneath our covers and in between eric's legs...) anyway- this is no big deal, right? wrong. and the reason is because when she wants to get back up, for some reason she is totally and completely unwilling to just jump back up as easily as she jumped down. or as any other dog in their right mind would do. instead, she stands on my side of the bed whining, using her front paws to hit me in whatever spot is most convenient for her to reach until i (and here's the kicker) lift all of the covers up for her, providing a perfect entrance right under the covers and invite her up. can someone say spoiled? and yes.... this DOES happen at least 3 times a night.
7) there are a lot of people pregnant right now. this means many things for me at this point in my life. but mostly it means that it's exciting and have got lots to look forward to in meeting like 8 new friends.
8) i think i may have been misunderstood yesterday regarding my christina post on facebook. im not saying it's okay that she messed up the words. im not saying that, that is ideal. what i AM saying and perhaps may not have communicated effectively is this: #1) if you yourself can't do it, than you have NO right to pick apart the person who does. #2) if you yourself haven't been in a situation where you're singing in a stadium like that, than that means you just don't realize how hard it is to hear yourself. the echo is so delayed that it can get tricky. #3) i just feel like it's sad how everyone seems to thrive on other people messing up. she didn't go flat, and she never went sharp- this was no 'roseanne bar' moment, so stop over-reacting. again- im not saying her mistake is ideal, but what i am saying is that if you've never been there you really can't be the judge. and don't choose to ignore all of the good parts she delivered and only focus on her one little mistake. that's all.
9) i keep thinking im getting some sort of a nasty cold, but really im just congested. ill take that. id rather be congested than have my head feel all fuzzy and a sore throat too.
10) i love eric andrew adams... like a minor loves gold. like johnny loved june. and like fat kids love cake.
that's it! there's my list for the day- a plethora of random goodness, floating around in my head 10 minutes ago, but not put out there for all the world to see. be blessed and be thankful.
