make me go "hmmm"

Just going to post the random things I've mulled over recently and haven't taken time to blog about....

Tonight I ran and played my recently downloaded Taylor Swift album. As much as I hate to even admit this, I am now a fan. Honestly, I can't say exactly why, I guess multiple reasons. I don't think she sings the best, but that kind of makes it more fun to sing along with her. I had a good run to Miss Taylor and I noticed that she likes to sing about rain and being in the rain romantically.... that was a little side-thought-bonus there for you guys, listen to her songs and you will hear how many times she refers to being in the rain and also being awake after 12 AM.



I have been baking a lot lately. I do like to cook, but I am also working a great deal and trying to stick to grocery budget so I haven't been lavish in the kitchen. What I have been doing is making delicious treats to offer as a "make up" for my lack of fun dinners and never going out for treats. The conclusion I have come to is that I make killer cookies that rival some bakery shops and I think that might be the ace in my pocket to making my girls smile, they think I am a stellar cook just because I can make cookies. This is awesome.

I found this great song by Matt Wertz, but I can't get a good recording to post on here, so if you are interested in hearing it, search Matt Wertz "Waiting." Maybe you will enjoy it, maybe not, but I did..so I just thought I would share. I wonder why I can't find good recordings of the songs I like the most... frustrating!

Now would be a good time to interject that I have Matt Wertz on here today as my music musing. This is "Heartbreaker."

So I am planning to wake up with a smile tomorrow and keep it all day. I had a semi rough week, just tension building about a big upcoming event in my life.... I will give more details another time, but the gist is that I have a major surgery in the next few weeks and I'm starting to stress about all that I have to do before that...and recovering after. Back to my point.. I am choosing to stop letting the worry and stress eat my joy and energy! I had a small disappointment this weekend and in the middle of it I realized that I was wallowing. Yep, I wallowed for a bit before I decided to LEARN... once I chose to change my mind about it, I started to feel better and even kind of laugh about it. So from that I decided to enter my week that way, with a Monday smile.

Okay this post is pretty much pointless, but it felt good to write and share, I have been running around so much that I have hardly been able to blog about all the silly things I want to, the things that cross my mind that probably don't matter, but seem fun to share.... yes, I miss sharing those. Do any of you miss reading those zany things? Haha.

One more thing I forgot to add is my new Twitter addiction. It's kind of scary how fun it can be just to read what people are doing and post random thoughts. What can I say, I am just super easy to entertain! It really doesn't take much to grab my interest... except with books and movies, those I am picky about.

Shoot, that reminded me of one more thing I was going to say. I wanted to go see that new movie "17 Again" and of course I never get to go to the movies, and today I woke up to find out that Avery went to see it last night with a friend and wanted to tell me ALL about it....which is an extreme pet peeve of mine, I hate to hear about movies before I see them. I "shhhhh'ed" her quickly and now I am planning to add it to my Newflix que right away so I can watch it while I recover from surgery.

That's all I've got... seriously, I'm done wasting your time with these off-the-wall-do-not-go-together-at-all thoughts. Love you all for reading this far, goodnight!!



p.s. Yes, that picture is a real shot from my kitchen of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies I made that were A----mazing. :o)
