Buzzing Brain

I've got a brain full of bees I think. I can't seem to catch and hold onto a thought today because there are just too many buzzing around seeking attention.

- I want to do menu plan Monday today . . . but I don't think I have enough time.

- Jeff is home sick today, and was sick this entire weekend. In fact he felt so bad, he actually went to the doctor, a sign that this wasn't just a run of the mill cold for him! And since he's sucd a great patient I'd rather not have to be home much today.

- I have an IAAP meeting after work today, and since I missed the last one, I'd better go!

- I need to get back to Wal-Mart and return the envelopes I got that aren't the right ones.

- I want to work on my OrgJunkie Round up this week

- I need to buy a zipper to repair a coat for Jeff's cousin in Minnesota that his parents will take back this weekend.

- I need to start working on Alaina's Halloween costume, since she decided to be Belle. (yes I konw you offered to get one from Disney MBG, but since she's not of the age to brag about where it came from, I'll save the shipping charge and just make it for $13. However, if they have wigs for little girls, I'd be all about Alaina trying to wear a brown Belle wig!)

- Laundry and the vacuum are screaming my name again.

Is that enough rambling for now? I think so!

Finally! She blogged!

Yes I did see I was tagged by you, OM!

Yes Sisi I'm going to blog it!

Here is it, my life in ten bullets, or at least the last fifteen years, lets get a visual to start, okay?

1. I was one of two people, the other being my sister, who chose (maternally forced) to walk for a graduation in a school building that was no longer a high school . . .and created a memory that I will never forget because of said force, I MEAN CHOICE!!! ; )

2. I made and lost some friends along the way, but the good ones are still around and were promoted to family members a long time ago . . .

3. I didn't work as hard as I should have, but I managed to graduate from college with a degree, and met some pretty amazing people along the way.

4. While journeying through college, I found two things, my love of sewing, which I find many clever ways to share with everyone. . .

5. And my husband, who I skipped sorority recruitment to hear play his guitar, and found out months later that he sold me his cd's both for the price of one. (you flirt!)

6. Together, we have one beautiful child. And she amazes me everyday . . and much to my parent's delight, seems to be all the best qualities of my siblings and my husband all rolled into one. (Check it out! Her and me, isn't it scary?)

7. Family begins to take a higher priority in life the further they move . . . only two of the four left in state, and it is heartbreaking to think that we aren't all a phone call and 2 hours driving time away.

8. We bought a house the 70s threw up in and we are getting closer to having our own bedroom, we are still sharing the basement with the adorable toddler.

9. I work at a local insurance place, setting up the technical devices for the techies . . .wait, wasn't my degree in English? I still can't figure that one out . . .

10. And The most interesting part of my life, is the discovery that one can have more than one soulmate. I don't know how else to explain being a twin. You grow up having to share everything, which when people thought it sounded cool I would always say, "Imagine that you have twice as much stuff . . but you have to share all of it with someone everyday." So, I get to have two soulmates, but unfortunately they have to share me. Somedays, it was maddening, somedays it was bliss. But no matter what, I couldn't imagine life without either one!

And I'm not tagging anyone! This is fun to do, but its pretty much a chain letter so I can't forward it on principle! (However, I'll blog them, so feel free to keep sending them to me to perish!)

The to do list . . .
