haphazard musings

on productivity...

mine stinks.  does yours?

what is your reason?  too many friends, lots of invitations?  enjoying being outside this summer?  playing games with your kids? 

what is mine?  the olympics...it's bad friends.

one day this week, i watched nearly all day and then took a break when NBC did and then proceded to watch the entire evening program from 7 to 11.

this week i have avoided lesson planning, laundry, exercise, grocery shopping, cleaning, making dinner, and even phone calls from friends so that i don't miss something "important" on tv. :)

if you are someone who as been avoided as a result, please accept my apologies, i am seeking help.

i am curently watching the women's relay next to a pile of clean and folded laundry on my right and a pile of clean and unfolded laundry on my left.  perhaps i will get them folded and both put away before this is over tonight.  but i'm not banking on it.

hold on...brb...

sorry, it got really exciting there for a couple minutes.  another gold!  we were yelling pretty good at the tv.  which is hilarious, considering everything i am watching happened about 6 hours ago...

missy franklin is so fun.  have you seen this video?

 

oh well perhaps my productivity will improve tomorrow.  but i'm not really anticipating it since the more i watch the olympics, the more i think i need to plan a trip to London.

sometimes it's the little things.

In honor of my new outlook I thought I would star off March right.

So yesterday, the first day of March, here are the little things that made me happy.

1. I got to share some peanut m&m's with my "little sister" Destiny after she took a really hard test.  It's never too early to learn that a little chocolate can make a big difference. :)

ps.  I saw the new m&m commercial while getting ready this morning.  i just crack up. "oh it's that kind of party!"

2. When Destiny and I went back to math class, an interesting conversation occurred:

        Student 1 (to me): "Are you in high school?" 
        Me: "Oh my!"
        Student 2 (to student 1): "No way, she's in college!"
        Me: "Oh gracious me, I am 28, but you girls sure know how to make a girl's week!"

Can I show you the high school me?  Promise not to laugh at my corney picture. :)

(yep, turtle neck sitting in a clam shell on the beach...hmmm...)

3. Yesterday it was nearly 70 degrees!  I love the cold weather, but sometimes a girl needs a little sunshine on her face.  

and so do puppies...he was terribly excited.  barked at every person and dog we saw...so annoying.

4. Because it was lovely, I delivered posters for work for more than 1 hour.  Lots of people to talk to and warm breezes to catch.

5. I had a random memory of my brother and I (I think) figuring out how to say our names backwards...weird.  Mine was and is...

5. I ran!  In shorts (look out for my glaringly white legs when you are on the street here in Newton).  I think I went 4 miles, not all at once, but in intervals which are apparently my new favorite thing.  And here, I use the term "favorite" loosely.

6. I got a sweet note in the mail (like with a stamp) from someone that I see all the time.  Seriously that is the best.

need some new note cards, i love these!

7. Words of truth, spoken outloud. 

Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.  Pslam 62:8 

8. A scrubbed and bleached, purged, vaccuumed, and dusted bedroom, bathroom, and closet.  Hello dresser top, nice to see you again!

Hope the first day of your month was as good as mine!

 

did you watch

did you watch the super bowl?!?  i hope so, it was a great game!  GO GIANTS!

but in all reality i watch the super bowl for two reasons: food and commercials.

first the food was great, smoked turkey sandwiches.  i probably ate about one pound of turkey - not joking. 

the commercials were a little disappointing.  i think i only laughed outloud twice, which really makes me sad.  but i wanted to brighten up your wednesday and share the two that were my favorite.

the brown m&m...oh man.

 

and the e*trade baby - for real that kid kills me every time.

 

have a happy wednesday!
