Blah Blah

- American Idol update.....well my girl Olivia was gone weeks ago! Dalton is still hanging on, but I don't think he will win. The winner will be La'Porsha. I still think Dalton is super cute, eyeliner and all! And I might cry at the finale, just saying.

- Dear Johnston, your lack of planning on closing two of the major streets south out of Johnston is killing me. There are only 4 main streets out of our little city and you close 2 at the same time? My drive to and from work is now 10-15 minutes longer b/c of the traffic. It should not take me close to an hour to get home at night! Only 8 more months.

- As I have mentioned before, I use the Loreal tanning wipes. I use two a week and the box gets me thru a month....for $8. This is so much cheaper and safer than actually tanning! Sometimes I will have a streak or a bad spot from these wipes, but really, you never had stripes from tanning beds (and I won't mention the cancer from these beds too)? And when you are out in the actual sun, you never get a hand print there or stripe here from the sunscreen you put on? (oh wait, you don't use sunscreen? Shame, shame!!!)

- We lay with our kids at bedtime every night. We read books and lay with them until they fall asleep. This might be a bad habit and might take up time in our night....and we might fall asleep with them more times than not.....but this is time with them I know is limited. Time we won't get back. I'm embracing it (which is easier to do now that it is only 45 minutes with Piper instead of 2 hours)

- Speaking of putting kids to bed, last night I was laying with Piper, we read our two books and it was time to turn out the light. She turned the light off and said "Can we talk or something?". I told her that we could talk, we talked very briefly about her friend Becca and she changed the subject and wanted to talk about her 24 year old cousin Jordan. This girls LOVES her cousin Jordan, they never really talk to each other or bond....but she has an infatuation with his boat, that she remembers from Okoboji last July!

- I threw away the rest of the frosting I had in the fridge. The spoonful of frosting I would have before bed (don't mind the pile of spoons next to my bed!) was just not needed. Now what am going to do with all this Easter candy?

- I'm technically back on Facebook now. Honestly I have very little interest in it now. I haven't posted, haven't commented. I'm sure I will eventually but it's nice to have one less thing to think about doing or checking.
