happy thoughts...

any of you who are old enough to remember "deep thoughts" from SNL back when it wasn't even called SNL... well, you're at least as old as me.  right in this very moment though, i need some happy thoughts in a bad way to cure this pit in my stomach - or at least attempt to.  here are some things that take me to my happy place:

• the sun
• doc macgyver
• the smell of the inside of a book, especially old ones
• being alone outside with my camera
• potatoes
• the smell of the ocean
• the violin intro to josh groban's version of "you raise me up"
• any amazing male singing voice

the list isn't very long. it's difficult to get to my happy place. and unfortunately, the only thing on this list that is available to me right now is my doc.  hopefully it will be enough.

tweets that should've been

too much private stuff going on the past 6 weeks or so.  perhaps that's the reason the blog has been neglected.  too much to list in a 'catching up' post.  so here are some highlights in twitter-verse...

• Sent 2 boys to EFY and they were blaring the EFY music throughout the house about 30 min after they got home #heavenly
• Switched from green band to blue band for pull-ups
• Was able to get luigi to read 2 classics so far as a result of bribery by tokens; now the rest of the yahoos want in on the ‘special’ treatment
• Tried closing a vent in the ceiling with a wooden dowel and am pretty sure I looked like something out of a scene from Mr. Bean
• Spent 3 days with good friends while they prepared for their move out of town. We’re always the ones leaving and not the ones staying.  I’m thinking ‘being settled’ isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
• I find it hilarious when a person can’t even correctly spell the name of their own profession
• Luigi: this guy sings like elmo,  Me: his name is andy gibb,  Luigi: does he have a speech problem?
• Luigi got his haircut at a salon. So dash decided he would spend his bday money for the same. $25. Wonder if it will ever happen again.
• Just recently discovered how to get hand soap out of the pump and not get water all over the sink
• me: marz do you want to go to school with toby?, marz: only if i get bigger
• if a person just changed a queen size bed every day, i'm sure they could lose weight quickly
• "mom, how will we move the fish? will we drive them to our new house?"
