Thoughts For Monday

To continue my pattern of stealing things from other people's blogs, today I'm going to post a list of thoughts for the day/week/month/however long it's been since I last posted. They will be in no particular order other than the order in which they come to my mind. Which frankly might prove interesting to those of you with psychology degrees. (All one of you.) Or not. But there's only one way to find out so here goes:

1. My last post is the closest I've ever come to regretting putting something on my blog. It was honest and nobody has been weird or mean about it or anything, but I still wonder if it might have been a tad too... heavy? For the average reader who's just stopping by for some more cute pictures of Eden? If so, I apologize. I definitely had a spidey-sense that what I wrote might have caused a bit more concern among some than I intended. (I intended zero. Zero concern units.) Of course, it was also probably not wise to blog about feeling depressed and then just sort of drop off the Interwebs for awhile, but sometimes I'm just busy doing normal life stuff and don't feel particularly like writing or can't really think of anything interesting to write about (not that that has really ever stopped me before), and then suddenly I realize how much time has passed and it's: oh yeah, my blog - maybe I should post something quick before everyone (including myself) forgets the address.

2. In other news, I am okay. Nobody worry.

3. Depression still stinks though, just in case anyone was wondering. Thought I'd clear that up for you in case you were going to guess the opposite or something.

4. We bought a new car! Well, you know, new to us. I think it will work well for us as long as we never need to drive anyone taller than... me... anywhere. So, that's good, no?

5. It really should be more fun to spend thousands of dollars on something. Like at least one hundred times the thrill you get when you buy something you didn't even know you needed on clearance at Target. Right? Am I crazy here? (Do not answer that question.) Frankly, this whole used-car-buying-experience was pretty much no fun at all. I feel a smidge cheated in that department.

6. Mother's Day was very nice. We had a picnic in the backyard. Eden bought me a balloon. I think I'll keep her. :)

7. Apparently I don't do a lot of thinking because coming up with this list is proving much harder than I expected.

8. Tomorrow night is the Mother-Daughter Banquet at church. Wednesday my newest nephew will be born. Thursday we leave for a week in California. Friday I may need a caramel frappuccino injected straight into my veins. (But, because we will be in Southern California, that will only require walking to the corner - pretty much any corner.) I may or may not need to immediately follow that up with a fish taco. SoCal friends, take note.

9. I bought a swimsuit online in a fit of desperation. It is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'm already 95% sure that I will be returning it. Why oh why did I ever buy that Raging Rivers season pass for me and Eden? Couldn't I just have bought a kiddie pool for the backyard and called it a day?

10. There's a pan of chocolate brownies on the table with my name on it. I mean, I'm returning the swimsuit anyway, right?

Adios!

1. I love your 10 thoughts and I'm glad you copied.
2. What kind of car did you get? That's exciting!
3. I'm glad you bought a raging rivers pass instead of a small pool for the back yard:-) I think you'll be glad you did too!
4. See you tomorrow night at the banquet, but if I don't get a chance to say it, have an awesome time in California! I'm a tad jealous.

I need to see you while you are here! Please send me details so we can arrange something. Maybe you, me and Megan can go for coffee?

Can't wait to see you!

what kind of CAR!
ALSO YAY TACOS.

I took PTO for half the time you are here, except the time when I am required to be in San Diego.
That part I didn't take off, cause the new kid can't do presentations to senior partners...so I have to do that.

Let's make a food plan.
what are we eating when
