Is it nap time yet?

I would like nothing more than to fall asleep right this minute.

so so tired

ten (yawn) things for today:

1. A friend of mine decided to start a Give a Good Friend a Good Book campaign, which I whole-heartedly endorse. Therefore, if YOU (yes i mean YOU!) have an Amazon Wishlist, I'd be ever-so grateful if you'd leave me the link? And if you don't have one, commence creation imediately please.

2. I'm making a quilt. I know. It's pretty ridiculous. I thought i'd make one for each of the girls, starting with Elliot. You can probably expect Rousseau's to be done about the time she enters high school.
Here's what I have so far:

I blame the Internet and all those crafty blogs out there. Well if I can do it, let's face it, anyone can.

3. Angels and Airwaves is coming to SLC in May.... ANGELS AND AIRWAVES!!!!!!! It'll be the first real concert Blair and I will have been to since Ben Folds in 2008 (sorry John Allred, you are great but if we can bring our kids, and there are chairs at the venue I'm afraid I can't count it as a real concert). Anyone want to come with us? Incidentally, Blair is obsessed with their new album, LOVE. It is pretty amazing, not to mention it's FREE!!!

4. I am so ridiculously, disgustingly, and completely infatuated with Blair. How did I get so lucky?

5. Do you ever get so tired that your breathing feels all heavy, and your chest kind of starts to hurt? Yeah. Me too.

6. My friend Katie bought me a new notebook for my birthday in order to encourage me to get past the horrible writer's block i've had for the last year. After remaining blank -save for the grocery lists and Elliot drawings in the back- for the last 2 months, it now contains two full pages of actual writing. It's not a lot, but it's a start.

7. iTunes alphabetical adventure: Lullabye - Ben Folds

8. Blair is in his LAST month of student teaching! WOOOHOOOO!

9. Does anyone else have an abnormally difficult time trying to eat healthy?

Look at this painting. Isn't it amazing? She is my favorite. Someday I want one.

What the Cuss?

Ten things for today:

sorry it's a crappy camera phone pic

1. I was a cheerleader today. Not even kidding. And in case you are wondering? I'm the one who thinks the square root of 4 is rainbows.
2. Someday I would like to take a nap, though i'm not sure anymore how those work.
3. I still would really like a Ray Bradbury short stories book.
   
4. Sometimes I wish that my pink hair was less permanent... like at church. Other times i'm really really glad i have something that makes me feel like i'm awesome... like at church.
5. Okay. My obsession with Roller Derby is getting out of hand. I spent the last 30 minutes at work looking up the official list of registered Derby Girl names. Honestly if there were enough girls in Cedar who'd be interested in forming a team or two i'd be all-up-ons, but such is not the case. I need a hobby or something.
6. SEE'S CHOCOLATES.
   
7. Blair and I are beginning week three of "Two Months of Cuss" (ha ha ha... i'm hilarious.) I am really grouchy and on edge like 95% of the time. And we still have HOW MANY months left??? Ugh. I feel like I am constantly either yelling, or apologizing for yelling. If it weren't for the gym i think i'd go absolutely nuts.
8. I'd like to thank Wes Anderson for the film Fantastic Mr. Fox. It has not only brightened my day, it has also revolutionized my personal use of swears. Please go watch it.
9. You know you're having a bad day when your three-year old tells you that you need to calm down.
10. On the movie Princess and the Frog, there is a firefly who is in love with a star who he thinks is another firefly. And her name is Evangeline. awesome.awesome.awesome. there's even a song about her.
    

Also to anyone interested, Rousseau Evangeline's blessing will be March 7th. (also my dad's birthday... hope he doesn't mind spending it here)
