nablopomo. 2013

i did this a while back.

really think i need to commit to get myself back on track.

hoping my it guy fixed my photos. {i haven't picked up a camera in ages. everything is on my phone. my photostream does not like my new computer (non-mac). truthfully, i dislike this computer too. sigh.}

will try to have some posts of substance over the next weeks. looked back and i have almost two months of wip to catch up on. and amelia's month posts. and two of ben's field trips. so the content won't be lacking. it's finding a huge chunk of time to upload pictures. stay tuned. i hope i can. i think i can!

grumble grumble.

experiencing technical difficulties. hopefully, my i.t. guy can fix things soon. i'm ready to throw this new computer and iphone out the window. ;)

- had every intention to blog last night. sat on the couch and passed out. thankfully, miss amelia napped with me. she's a champ!

- spoke with a lady on the phone for a prior authorization, her name was kewpie. i thought that was just a doll. poor lady.

- miss amelia is noticing chewbacca. she's trying so hard to catch him. so funny since she isn't really mobile!

- i have been so slacking that i haven't been keeping tidbits in my phone and that makes this list of ten so much harder.

- love it when you find out that there is a recall on your car when you take it in for an oil change. surprise!

- american horror story: coven. obsessed. and i would like to be reincarnated as a witch. just saying. ;)

- nick has joined in on my candy crush addiction.

- i don't know how people can just drink shakes for their meals. i need to chew to feel full. wait, that's not true. i can eat soup. maybe i need to eat my shakes with a spoon and not a straw?

- new favorite creamer. so good.

- decorated my work pumpkin.... finally. decided on nail art at the last minute. will share tomorrow. but now i'm itching to do a real nail art project. oh jamie... pinterest time! ;)

i agree!

- i'm thinking maybe normal posting next week. maybe?!

- this poor kid. his name is ha-ha. wtf?

- rebel wilson without an accent is weird.

- my tattoo itch is back. ;)

- i thought i had a pinched nerve or pulled muscle in my neck. now i think it's just all of life's stressors lodged there.

- the worst part about young children? constantly changing out the clothes in their closets.

- i love random 4am texts from girlfriends. makes me smile that some time can pass but nothing really changes.

- i feel horrible saying this. i can't wait for this year to be over. we've had tons on our plates. yes, i know we were blessed with healthy baby. that's why i said i feel bad saying it.

- i have retired my flip flop wearing to work. i have to walk through grass to get to the office, well i could walk the long way but that's silly, and it's freaking wet and cold at 730!

-i think i've said it before, but i love cleaning. and i love a clean house. when i'm stressed, i feel so much better when i clean. no. sorry. i think it only works on my own house, so i won't come help you clean.

- started christmas shopping this weekend!

- love how ben says nothing. nuf-fing.

- melie was freaking out in the car. nick jokingly turned up the song on the radio, clarity, and shockingly she quieted down. she must have her dad's taste in music.

- ben watched me play candy crush a few times. one day he said, 'mom are you ever gonna beat that level!?'

- love that i can get a cut and color in my own home. is that super lazy to admit?

- don jon tomorrow!

- consistently clocking 7000+ steps on fit bit. weekends are my nemesis. well, at least one day out of the weekend. i get to rest one day, right?!

- i love fall.

- thinking it's going to be a bad blogging week. we shall see. my dreams of catching up on weekend posts are dwindling.

- ben is turning into such a big boy. he now asks to shower in the morning before school. sigh.

miranda's pumpkin patch.

my coworker lost one of her twin grand-daughters a year ago this month. when they brought miranda home with hospice a local orchard donated decorations to make the yard/house pretty for her. miranda's favorite part was the pumpkins. so in her honor, they planted the seeds of those pumpkins and ended up with a huge crop. they decided to let kids come and pick miranda's pumpkins. we missed the event yesterday, but beth was kind enough to let us come out this evening and pick our pumpkins. ben thought long and hard about which one he wanted and which one he wanted for baby. so honored to have been invited and happy to have been a part of honoring a little girl who earned her angel wings way too early. {miracle for miranda}
