Say Anything

I'm feeling random today.  Here are some things on my mind:

1) I forget how great my friends are sometimes.  I went to Louisiana for one of my best friend's bachelorette party this weekend.  It was so great to see two of my oldest friends to talk about old times, catch up on what's been going on, and make some new memories.  I am super excited to see them again next month for the wedding.

2) Lately, I have caught myself wanting to NEED things.  I receive 20 or 30 emails per day encouraging me to buy things from stores with loyalty programs or online stores having sales.  Lately, I've bought some things that are just sitting in the spare bedroom collecting dust.  Why?  Because I get caught up in the excitement and forget the difference between a want and a need.  It's easy to notice when others confuse the two concepts, but taking a look at myself is hard.  I'm going to do better with this.

3) Chris and I are starting a diet tomorrow (we were planning to start today, but I didn't have the energy to go to the grocery store after driving home yesterday).  I'm really excited.  I've always been up and down with my weight, but lately I've been way more up than down... and that's not good at all!

4) The weather has been so beautiful.  On the way to work two weeks ago, there was a perfect white could over the downtown Houston skyline.  The sky was so blue in the background.  I wish I had my camera; I would have pulled over to snap a photo.

5) It seems as if EVERY SINGLE FEMALE on the planet is pregnant - possibly a slight exaggeration.  Weird thing is... I get really excited when I find out people are pregnant.  It makes me feel like I'm sitting at the DMV/DPS waiting to be called to get my driver's license.  Other people's numbers keep getting called, and I'm almost to the front of the line.  I know that babies and pregnancy don't exactly work that way... not everyone gets a chance and there isn't a take-a-number machine or a single-file line to receive a baby, but that's how I think of it in my head.... so I'm going with being excited over others' pregnancies.  Although, hearing people are pregnant with their 5th baby makes me feel like someone cut in front of me in line... and noone likes to be cut in front of in line.

6) Our garage is a mess.  I wish we had cleaned it before summer began so that we wouldn't have to clean the garage in 95 degree temps.  but it MUST BE DONE!  Right now, I can't get in to Chris's car while it's parked in the garage... the stuff prevents the car door from opening.  :(  By the end of June... must be cleaned!

I guess that's all that has been on my mind.
