So Here's a Funny Story...

 

My mind was swirling in 100 directions yesterday. I was so productive in so many ways. I had work, of course, and I did laundry and went grocery shopping and almost finished our Christmas shopping and worked on some writing projects and sorted through all sorts of things…and when it came time to close my computer about 11:00 last night so I could go to bed, I remembered…I FORGOT THE BLOG!!!

            Whoopsie!

            Please don’t overexpect today. 😊

            In light of the fact that I’m writing this on the fly and have no plan, I hope it’s okay that I just tell you about a few of the (possibly not super exciting things) we’ve done over the last couple of days.

            You know, for example, we got a car wash. We washed our car a lot more often when we lived at WillowBridge. Part of it was that we drove by car washes quite often on our way to everywhere. Part of it was that we parked outside and the car never stayed clean. Now we don’t wash it as often – but does the car wash EVER get old??

            Fun fact that you may or may not know about me: I have gotten stuck in a car wash before and will not drive through them anymore. But I do love being a car wash passenger!

            Speaking of our WillowBridge life, we got to see our former coworkers on Saturday! It was the first time in over a year that our schedules worked out to be in the same place at the same time. So…a 4 year old’s birthday party it was!

            Lexi was super cuddly this weekend, which I find absolutely adorable. I don’t find it quite as adorable when she and Ryan roughhouse. They both LOVE IT. Anything with growling terrifies me. (PTSD from the dog bite, maybe?)

            Yesterday we had genuine snow squalls here on the lake. At times, it was so thick, I couldn’t see across the lake. I was so so so so grateful for a warm and safe house. May I never take that for granted.

            I had two scrapbooks arrive yesterday. I have been holding out for a sale on this site forever – and I finally got one that (although not what I hoped for) was good enough to order the last two books I made there. And those will be the last two, because I can’t afford it!

            You know how sometimes people have conversations in emojis only? Ryan and I have selfie conversations. Here is a glimpse of one of my messages to him yesterday.

            And after grocery shopping? Coffee for the trip home. Oh yes please. This is a tradition for us, and we love it!

            Come back tomorrow. I will try to be more meaningful then! 😊
