Actually, not the content, just the concept. I was checking out my favorite Misty’s Saturday Sundries post and thought, what a good idea. I should do that every week. Not that I’m a stranger to the bulleted list style of posting, as I’m sure you know! I’m just inspired by her cutesy name and graphic for it. She always has cutesy little relevant graphics for the stuff she posts! I want to be all creative like that. Anyway. Here goes.

  • I was watching Medium the other night, and Joe mentioned to someone that he and Allison had been married 14 years. And I was thinking, fourteen years, damn! That’s a long time. You see people with teens or preteens and think, wow, they’ve been together a long time. Fourteen years! I hope when Paul and I have been married for fourteen years, we’re still all in love with each other and joke around all the time and actually enjoy spending time together. So then it occurred to me, after thinking about all that stuff, that if I hadn’t divorced my first husband, we would have been married 13 years this year. We were married for 6 1/2 7 1/2 years and we’ve been divorced almost 5. I can’t even wrap my mind around the idea that we’ve been divorced almost as long as we were married! Wow.

  • So after thinking about all that - and by the way, this is what I do while standing in my laundry room, folding endless piles of tiny little shirts and pants and socks and crib sheets - after thinking about all that, it occurred to me that I’m OLD. I keep forgetting I’m old, since 99% of my girlfriends are younger than I am. And not just by a little, but by, like, seven years! I think my subconscious mind thinks I’m 27 or something. I guess that’s okay, though, right? I can pull it off. At least I’m not 27 and acting like I’m 20. Not that I’ve ever done that or anything. cough

  • This is becoming one long-assed bulleted list! I think maybe I’m defeating the purpose of the condensed list, here. Too bad. I’m just going to keep blathering on.

  • We’re going to a family birthday party tonight - I’m excited! I always enjoy hanging out with Paul’s family. It’s always nice to see families hanging out together, in spite of their issues with one another. To be quite honest, it makes me completely jealous that they have little impromptu birthday parties and barbecues and get-togethers and people actually show up and hang out with one another and drink beer and laugh and tell stories. My family doesn’t do that AT ALL. Whenever I get together with my parents, it’s almost painfully uncomfortable! I think they’re just too old to have a bazillion rambunctious grandchildren climbing all over them very often.

  • I renewed my Sam’s Club membership the other day. Actually, I think I wrote about it over here, too. Paul likes Costco, and doesn’t like Sam’s Club at all, and I am just the opposite! Our membership to Costco expired in February, and I kept threatening to go back to Sam’s Club, and he kept complaining about how Sam’s Club has shittier quality of stuff and blah blah blah. I have always loathed shopping at our Costco, though. It is so crazy busy, no matter what time of the day you go, and it seems like most of the folks shopping there are grouchy old people who hate children. Sam’s Club is not like that at all - it’s nice and quiet in the morning when I like to shop, and I always see a whole bunch of other mommies with their children. So, I decided to make an executive decision, based on the fact that I am the one who actually does the shopping. Wheee! Sam’s Club! I’m home again!

  • Kind of sad, really, how excited I get over this sort of thing, isn’t it?

  • I’m thinking about dyeing my hair a completely different color, in the hopes that I’ll hate it less. Think that plan will work? Or do you think you’ll be reading fifty more blog posts about how I hate my hair even more now? We shall see!

  • I’ve recently become obsessed with the amazing looking recipes, complete with beautiful photos chronicling each critical step, all showcased at Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. I’m dying to make that cake. And those sandwiches. And the lasagna. Seriously. I’ve even thought about these recipes in the dead of night, after I come back to bed from fetching extra water for my screaming child, and can’t fall back to sleep. I’m going to have to make a bunch of this stuff next week, and report back to you.

  • I never know how to wrap it up when I’m doing a bulleted list. I hate just stopping without some sort of goodbye! Anyway. Goodbye. I’m going to go take a bath while my kids are napping. I’m all achey and tired from pulling weeds in the hot sun after getting no sleep last night. See ya!
