it's one of those nights where anything i may have to say really has nothing to do with the next thing i may have to say. which really isn't that surprising because it's kinda how my brain operates on a daily basis. who likes a one tract mind, anyway? plus i'd kinda like to knock out a few thoughts so i can hurry & go curl up in bed with "catching fire". just being honest.
• you guys. i finally broke down & bought those hunters i've been drooling over. i got the black matte ones & am totally justifying it by saying i will need them to tromp through tall grass for photo sessions protecting my feet from snakes & wetness. and i live in seattle, the rainy day capital of the world so do i even need a reason to buy rain boots? seems like they should be required equipment around here, really.
• i made this crock pot mashed potato recipe from pinterest last night. they rocked our world. there is no going back to old methods at this point... the vote was unanimous {parker's vote included wolfing-down multiple bowls of the stuff & sam's included eating half the batch before they were even out of the crock pot. so i'd say it was a winner}.
• i keep complaining about not having a proper camera bag to tote my gear around in but the real reason i don't have one yet is because i can't decide on which one to buy. i drool over all the epiphanie bags & kelly moore bags & really i should just hurry up & decide because wrapping my camera up in a washcloth & stickin it in the diaper bag is losing its ghetto chic-ness real quick. but obviously i get points for looking super professional.
• i totally cheated & read reality steve's blog & i now probably know who ben picks on the bachelor. i didn't link to it because you bachelor fans might find yourself clicking away & then your head will explode when you see who wins. i've already said too much.
• speaking of this, i really suck at surprises & suspense. i googled the ending to the twilight series & ended up never reading the last book. nine times out of ten i will read the synopsis of a movie we're watching on imdb because i need to know how it ends instead of suffering through another thirty minutes with my stomach in knots. it is taking ev-er-y-thing i have to not google the end of the "hunger games" series. so far i'm staying strong.
• i've been working on a 30 by 30 list & so far i've come up with eight. i only have seven more months before i turn thirty so this may actually never happen. maybe i just need to add things to the list like "wash, dry, fold & put away a load of clothes all in one day" or "meal plan & shop for one full week's worth of meals. then stick to that plan" or "wear a different outfit every single day of the week with no repeats"... hahahaha, who am i kidding? this isn't gonna happen.
• i could eat oreos for breakfast, lunch & dinner.
• last night when sam was taking parker into his room to read stories before bed, i said, "ni-night parker... can i have a kiss?" to which he replied {in the cutest sweetest voice, of course}, "nooo!" and slammed the door shut in my face. all i heard on the other side of the door were hysterical giggles. from both sam & parker.
• this picture is one of my first attempts at using my new camera remote with my new camera in front of what soon will be the new curtains in my living room {as soon as i iron & hem them... so maybe never}. pretty sure the camera focused on the sleeve of my t-shirt & left the rest out of focus but you get the idea. cute kid, irresistibly kissable cheeks, pajamas still on at noon. business as usual!
and with that i am off to grab a stack of oreos & climb into bed with katniss, peeta & gale. be jealous.
happy first of february!
