Ramblings from me.

So I ramble a lot and I like to ramble. That is how my mind works. I jump from subject to subject, and thought to thought all the time in my head. So I thought that every week I'd do that too. I think I'll keep it up, but the whole sharing music thing fell through too... I think with that it was because I was too busy feeling the music and didn't want to keep trying to rely what I was feeling! LOL. Oh well... Here are my weekly ramblings.

1. Seriously did you know that there were SO many muscles in your body? And that they can ache all at one time causing you not to be able to move at all. I am still sore and I have to do it again 3x this week. OMW!

2. Why do we hang on to things that we could get rid of and never miss? Because we think one day we "might" use them? We won't and we know it.

3. Honestly I love mornings {well not the one's where I hear the alarm and wake in a start to get out of bed and rush into work, although I do love my job.} where I can get up, tinker around the house, do a few chores, have quiet time, reflect, and feel the peace in our home all before my family wakes. I love that.

4. I don't understand why paying attention to what goes on at our house is fun for some people? Honestly we are boring people, seriously.

5. Having anything tempting in the house to eat isn't a good thing. So it's going back to not having it in the house, simple as that. Maybe I should follow that for #2? Although I am pretty good about purging stuff in our house that we do not use, but what is it about food?

6. It is hard to get motivated with colors that just aren't speaking to me. Normally I fly through a kit, but if its a hard one to work with I have to jump through hoops to work with it.

7. Color is important. It speaks to me. Bright. Bold. Energetic.

8. I have read up on soda so much this past weekend its scary. I am not a soda drinker by nature and I could live without the stuff honestly. But tell me why am I craving one?

9. I love it when it rains really, really hard. I miss that in Florida a lot.

10. I grow tired of trying to squeeze reading the bible into my day. I should be squeezing my day into the bible..

11. Why is it when you look at something on the hanger and then try it on it either looks good or horrible? Why can't it always look cute? See that's the problem, you love it but then try it on and it's not working. So I try on anything and everything now. Because my mom's motto: "you never know if it will look good on you and you cannot tell just by holding up the item on the hanger". She always says, "you can never judge how it looks on the hanger because even if it's ugly on the hanger it might look great on you." Always try on clothes, always. Because you think it might look good on you, and it might not. Or you think it won't look good on you and it does. My mom was a pretty wise person.

12. Speaking of trying on clothes. How comes technology hasn't come up with a way for us to just hold the clothing up to us, and then we look into the mirror, get a visual and actually see it on our bodies without actually trying it on? What a pain!

13. I want to make smores a food group.

14. I still think about Maple and miss her.

15. I want to go to Disney World so bad I can taste it. I am glad that as a kid I got to go all the time. We lived door to door two hours away. And you couldn't beat the whole Florida resident special they always had, we got in for dirt cheap. Now we are 1/2 a world away from DW...

16. Yes, I still miss my mom more than anything in the world. I broke down a couple of times last week. Wanted to call her and ask her for a recipe. Share with her that I was having friends over and needed help picking food out for that. I also wanted to talk to her about stuff. And of course to tell her I love her. I look forward to those little gentle reminders from her, that she is still here with me. The ache will never go away.

17. Somehow my honey-do list always gets pushed aside because we are too busy having family time and honestly I'm okay with that.

18. Why can't people be happy for you? Why do they always have to look within first, then walk away reflect, come back and apologize because they realized they weren't being right in the first place?

19. Can someone explain to me why there is a necessary feeling to cuss? And when someone finds out that you are offended by it because you've shared it why do they cuss more? Tell me why there is a need for it? Is it fruitful? I used to cuss like a sailor. Trust me when I tell you this, I did. Why did I do it? I was angry at the world and it felt good. Is that really the reason why peeps do it too? Sometimes I think some peeps do it on purpose because they know it bothers me...

20. Why is it that when we "feel" like God isn't there, its really usually because we aren't actually there?

21. I read Post Secret every Monday. I think I read it because people are very interesting. But I really read it because I find it fascinating that there is a place where people can post a secret and share it with the world, but would never probably tell someone close. Why do we sometimes feel safe in a sea of strangers?

22. As a Christian we are supposed to turn the other cheek. Well I truly feel the world and the Christians in it are turning so much that they have forgotten to really be real. It is okay to make a stand and honestly share your feelings.

23. Can someone please tell me why in the fridge they have these buttons to move for fruits and veggies that is supposed to help them last longer, and they never do?

24. I wished I could sew really well and make things.

25. Wal-Mart is a money sucking machine. I cannot go in there and not spend a 100 bucks. I kid you not. It's amazing to me! But it doesn't drive me nuts, I just keep going because it's the everything store! LOL.

26. How come your children tell you that doing nothing is great, but you mention that we're not doing anything and then they get bored? Speaking of that.. Growing up my mom used to tell me when I tell her I'm bored "what do you want me to do bring out the dancing girls?" HUH? I don't tell A that, I tell her well you can empty the dishwasher, clean the tub for me, or wash the dogs and suddenly she isn't bored anymore! LOL.

Well folks that's it from my peon brain today.
I hope your day is filled with wonderful answers to your questions!
