14 gazillion random things...

Ok, ok.  So the title might be a bit of an exaggeration.  It's just that I haven't blogged much lately and I am not sure why...so I thought I would prepare you for the worst (i.e. fourteen gazillion).  I think the best I have are maybe 10 things.  You're welcome.

Oh - and these are in no particular order.

1. Last night - girls' night out.  Pedicures at 7.  Red Mango after pedis and then back to the patio which turned into the kitchen table because of the mosquitoes.



2. I survived house- / dog-sitting.  The dogs survived.  The fish survived.  The humans returned.  All is well.  The only casualties:  20 or so mosquitoes.  I know I'm sweet but SERIOUSLY - don't bite me!

3.  Wednesday's word of the day:  Snarky.  As in - there was a whole lotta snarkiness going around. 

4.  Company picnic tomorrow ------>  I found out today that I am NOT on the clean-up committee!!!  Wahooooo!  My job is to help plan and do the shopping.  I like this committee.  The pre-picnic committee.  Tomorrow I get to go and help with registration and play some Bingo and maybe win some Target gift cards.  [Happy dance!!!]

5. I found a really cute purple Merona [Target] dress. It's short sleeved and plain.  I'm picturing it with a fabulous scarf and some sassy flats.  Also, during the same thrift-before-I-got-my-haircut-off shopping extravaganza, I snagged another Merona sundress.  It's patterned with coral, purple, brown, and white.  It was at Target last summer.  Oh - and when I found it at the Goodwill - it still had the tags on it.  Yep!  Be jealous.  Be very jealous.

6.  Why is it that I don't ever remember that I forgot to add laundry soap until the water is half-spun-out of the washer???  Of course, by then, it's too late.  (Sigh.)

7.  My favorite co-worker and his family might be relocating and I am not handling this very well. 

8.  Tonight I swept and mopped my kitchen & bathroom.  It's been awhile since I did that.  Not "a while" as in months and months....but "it's been awhile" as in a couple weeks.  I know it's been 2 weeks since I mopped.  I think it's only been a few days since I swept.  I like it that the kitchen is clean.  I wiped down the countertops, cleaned the ceiling fan, and changed-out the under-the-burner silver trays.  When I change out those silver liners for new ones, I feel like my kitchen just sparkles...until I spill something on them.  It's a vicious circle.

9.  About my haircut.  It's not drastic.  Think Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail.  It might be a smidge bit longer than Meg's haircut in that movie.  It flips-up nicely.  And I love it curly with big curls. 

10.  TEN!  I MADE IT TO TEN ITEMS!!!!  Yeah me.  I made it to the gym tonight.  I believe I have about 15 more hours to go in order to make my summer goal for 40 hours of cardio.  Why in the world did I select 40 hours when 30 hours was perfectly normal?  (Sigh.)  I guess I had better get crackin'.  I have 8 weeks left.

It's been awhile.

While I was in The JoAnn Fabrics store this afternoon purchasing pre-punched paper for my 2024 garden journal, I said to myself, "Self,...
