Welcome, Sunday.
Today Casey and I are going on an adventure. As in we picked a random point on the map, and we’re driving to it, to explore, to be silly, to hopefully go snowshoeing if we can find a place that actually has snow around here.
Last night we went to see Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I cannot recommend this enough. The book was amazing too, and I feel that the movie did it justice. You will cry (even me, the Ice Queen, cried).
I also saw One For the Money with my friend Amy this week. We had a Girl’s Night and it was fun! The movie was good, though I still have trouble buying Katherine Heigl as the main character. I feel Sandra Bullock would have been a better choice. Still worth it, though. And read the books first! (Always my recommendation).
The blog lost it’s first follower this week. Punch to the gut. Suddenly the insecurities flow in. What did I say? Are my kid quotes offensive? And then I stopped and kind of laughed to myself. Who cares? It’s a blog, people. It doesn’t exactly define who I am. But I have this complex where I need everyone to like me. WHY DON’T YOU LIKE ME? Ahem. Working through it. Someone better follow me today to boost my self-esteem, mmmkay?
I joined February NaBloPoMo (wow, I really missed typing that!) so you’ll see a daily post from us this month! I’m trying to create a link up on Fridays of funny kid quotes, so if you have funny stories/quotes about your kids (or kids you know, kids you work with, etc) please join me on Friday!
In just a few days we’ll be flying out to Philadelphia to spend four days with Sarah and Loni, two fabulous ladies I’ve known since I was 13. Yup. We met online, and several years ago we met in person briefly. Since that they’ve had 5 kids between them! Cannot wait to meet them, their husbands, and enjoy some real time together. SO excited.
Okay, my five minutes are up (yes, I type fast, I know)- but would you humor me and go visit this post by my friend Kenya? It hit me hard this morning and it is so true. I wish I could forward it to all the people I know.
Also, Casey keeps telling me I should let y’all know that the book I helped author with my former professor about homelessness has a home on the web! Go check it out, but you can’t have your own copy until September 😉
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone, go have an adventure!!
