Sometimes I think I do more tidbits of talk than regularly
blog posting. I have this huge list of things to write about and yet I don’t do
it. Except tonight (it’s Wednesday), I am starting tidbits of talk because I am in a funk, hibernating in
our bedroom until I am in a more pleasant mood and decided what better to do
than write. It’s quiet, warm and the papers that need to need to be graded are
a flight of stairs away and they can wait.
~The last question I asked my kids on an assignment the
other day was what song you can listen to on repeat. Most of the artists were people I have never
heard of nor was the song. I was tempted to pull up ITunes to hear snippets of
each song and then I decided I would stick to what I know and XM Radio in my
new car is doing just that. There is a Pearl Jam station- U-High Volleyball
anyone and a Dave Matthews Band station that just screams college.
~Our block party is this Saturday. It is serious business up
in the suburbs people. For one, we have to bring a farm animal made out of
recyclables. I mean that in itself is giving me anxiety. I have been hoarding
things that we normally throw away and googling furiously for ideas. Do we go
conservative, funny or just make something plain ridiculous? We have to make a
pie and bring a dish to pass. That is a hefty amount of things to do right? The
night ends with a movie on someone’s lawn. Movie screen and all. Go big or go home right?
~ Can we talk about the fact that I have not gotten my DSLR out literally since we moved. I don't know what it is or my excuse but my iPhone is always on me so I just keep using it to snap pictures. This makes me sad and I need to commit to using my big girl camera more. I am thinking next week it will make the trip to Bloomington with me so that should help!
