Little mice?

I just went into my room and found, empty, on my little table the following items:
small plastic cookie-size container
lid to small plastic cookie-size container
rubber band that was being used to securely hold said lid to said container

I did not find the following:
four cookie-size cookies

Also, when I opened up my computer just now, there were 10 or 12 decent size cookie crumbs that had been mashed into both the screen and keyboard. How mysterious!

Everybody has a Hot List.

I'm officially adding Billy Bob Thornton to mine.

Lady, put that baby away, will you? (Or, who the hell are you and why are you showing me your uterus?)

Just a little side thought about the old FB. I am continually amazed at how many people leave their photo albums visible to friends of friends. Where it really surprises me is in the ultrasound department. Don't get me wrong. I love babies. And the uterus? It's my all-time favorite female reproductive organ. And fetuses, well, come on. Adorable!

Friends can show me their unborn children any time. I signed up for that, and I'm excited to see things are going swell for people I know. I just keep thinking the other babies-on-the-way should be kept a bit more private by the parents who have no idea I even exist. In my day, we used email to show people our ultrasounds, and the list was seldom more than 10 people long. Maybe I'm old fashioned?

Doing

Welp, looks like six weeks to go. So much to get done. But I have commenced doing, unlike the previous entry where my active-o-meter was stuck on zero. I even found luggage that looks really cute with my beloved Kelty Coyote backpack.


Dark gray, light gray, steel blue, and faded orange. How can you not love that?

*not sure what's up with the gray stroke around the image. hmm.

Sunday, July 19, 2009. 9:44 p.m.

Every summer there comes a point when I honestly, truly forget what day of the week it is. I just had my 2009 moment. And I actually, each year, forget it even happens until it happens. Again.

I have so many things to do that I can't even organize them into a to-do list. Okay, not true. I could do it. I just don't feel like writing it all down, and couple of things are so big that they don't need to be listed, like getting/updating passports. And buying more luggage. I love the back pack I use for travel. It's a womens' Kelty Coyote. I had planned on never really having formal luggage since I had already found the perfect thing. So my first thought was to get one or two more packs, because I know I like them and they would get a ton of use. I don't know... I guess we'll see how much space I really need.

I've been cooking

Monday, roasted chicken. Tuesday, quesadillas. Today, shrimp scampi with whole wheat penne. The kids are way into having grilled cheese for lunch, so that's easy. I've just been grazing here and there. I think I've just got a lot on the brain. Anyway I'm thinking about actually using the apron my mom gave me for Mother's Day. It's cute, embroidered with the following hilarity: I understand the concept of cooking, just not how it applies to me.

Ooh, by the way, this is my 500th blog post!
