Monday Musings

Why does the weather tease me? It's supposed to be 54 degrees today and 58 degrees tomorrow. Is that some kind of sick joke? We all know that we're going to be dumped on again by the end of the month. Just you wait and see. Why you gotta be like that, weather?

I'm still totally psyched that I got 4 dresses for $100 on clearance at Layers Clothing. I got the Margo, Portia, Beverly, and Jane, and could have done more damage if they had the dang Billie or Trixie in my size. And those pencil skirts with a ruffle? Be still my beating heart. If only I had heard about the sale sooner.

Speaking of pencil skirts, I love a good pencil skirt. And I found my favorite one at Newport News. They have some really cheesy stuff, but boy, do they make a nice black pencil skirt. I may have ordered one in navy blue AND taupe for spring.

Why am I so tempted to make Monday my own personal day of rest? Is it maybe because I usually have 4000 things to do on Sunday and so Monday feels like a vacation from the weekend? I think maybe so...

I made chocolate-covered strawberries last night. I also made them last Sunday. I might just make them again next Sunday. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Should I be concerned that when I went into the twins' room this morning, both girls had removed their pjs and Lucy had gone the extra mile by taking off her diaper as well? Is this going to be a daily trend? Is this their way of punishing me for leaving them in their cribs to play until I get Mila off to school? Luckily, there was no poo involved.

Lately, every single time I go to type an apostrophe, I type a semi-colon instead. I already had to fix all of them in this post. It is getting really old and annoying. My friend Brett suggested maybe it has to do with having small hands. But I have never had this problem before. Are my fingers shrinking?

Mila finds out what part she got in The Tempest today. I found out what part I got in As You Like It on Friday (Celia). Isn't that kind of fun?

How come the contestants of The Amazing Race always go to Romania, Russia, and France when Ben and I aren't on the show? Do you know how cool we'd look? Well, actually not me, because my French isn't that awesome. But I wish I could have put Ben in the TV last night when they were in Bucharest, although they really didn't have to talk to any Romanians. He is really hot when he speaks Romanian.

I decided not to wash my hair today because I didn't feel like it, and now I think maybe that was a mistake.

On Battlestar Galactica on Friday night, do you think that piano guy was Kara's dad? I mean, not actually her dad, but some vision of him? Because he kind of looked like the guy on the 8-track or whatever and he was clearly not there when they showed her with other people. Interesting...

I love/hate yoga. I haven't been in over a month. I miss it but I don't. At all.

Ever since Ethan turned 6 last week, I've been trying to remember what he looked like when he was 2, and I just keep picturing my little brother Clayton when HE was 2. I had to look up pictures. Here's what I found:




I need to go squeeze my babies now...
