Friday Fess Up

If you're reading this Thursday, SURPRISE! ;-)

Otherwise, Happy Friday!

I confess:

*I am having a love affair with Boulder Canyon Rice and Bean chips. If you read my weight-loss blog, you know this.

I've also been enjoying Good & Plenty.

Not by the case.  Yet.

*Josh and I started watching "Monk" and we love it.

*My sister and I got our eyebrows threaded today.  It was an experience. It takes the place of waxing or plucking.  I am super happy with the results and will probably do it again.  It is very funny to watch.  I think it originated in India, and the gal who did ours was Indian.  They hold the thread in their mouth like that, and bob their head up and down to pull out the hairs, while twisting with their fingers.  I want to know how on earth someone came up with it.

*I might paint our windows black.  The actual glass.  Because the sun comes in so bright that my kids get up at 6, when they are CLEARLY not done sleeping.  We have blinds, curtains AND a blanket tacked up, yet no dice.  I'm kidding about painting the windows black.  But we will be getting black-out shades. Probably not as nice as these, because my children would rip those paper tubes to shreds.  I tell ya, they've been beasts lately!

 

*I made my very first tissue paper puff ball and I *love* it! I would show you a picture of the actual one I made, but my cell phone can't capture it's gloriousness.  I am totally making some and using them in Kate's room when I redo it. So easy! So cheap!

*I planted a zinnia today.  Kate brought it home as a seed and it grew into a little baby plant. Today we planted it outside and I'm excited to see what kind of zinnia it is.

 

*I can count on two hands the number of times I"ve flossed this year.  And last.  I know, it's sick and wrong but I just don't ever do it.  My teeth haven't fallen out yet and I don't have gingivitis so all's well that ends well.  Or something.  It's all fun and games til my teeth fall out of my head.

Um, no? Yikes. Please don't burn my teeth out of my skull menacing freaky Jason tooth!

*I just read the book Heaven is For Real.  Oh. My. Goodness.  It is amazing!!! Whether you're a Christian or not, you should read it.  It's a very easy, quick read and it's just amazing.  

 

*The book mentions Akiana, the amazing little girl who painted this picture of Jesus when she was only 8 years old.  When Colton (the boy in the book) saw this picture of Jesus, he said it was the only one that was "right".  All the other depictions of Christ he'd seen were not accurate.  But this one is.  Akiana was raised by an atheist, but began having "visions" of heaven and Jesus and started painting them at age 4.  Goosebumps, anyone!?

*I am a sheet snob.  I love 600+ thread count sheets.  They are muy expensivo, though.  So we have 3 of them that we've used until they got holey.  And we still use them.  Because they are just SO SOFT.  And we don't have $50 to spend on sheets.  But oh, are they ever lovely!

 

*I do not own anything that is monogrammed. But I think it would be fun.  I'm not sure what I would want monogrammed, though. 

 

*I wouldn't mind being here for, oh, a week or so.  I'd also like to bring the kids.  WITH A NANNY.  So they can be along in the fun but I can still get my massage in peace, knowing they are in good hands.  

 

*Christian had his 5 year check up last week.  I forgot to bring his immunization records from the state we moved from last year.  SO  after we'd waited forever for the doc, then saw him for 10 minutes, I had to run home, get the papers, and then we had to wait AGAIN.  Because they weren't sure if he needed any vaccines.  He didn't.  But while we were waiting to find out, I snapped this picture of them all saying "MACARONI AND CHEEEEEEESE!" And yes.  I left them unattended on the table. :-P

 

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
