Randomness

What a stressful morning! I'm glad it's over. It's about 2pm and I'm finally just sitting down to have my "morning" cup of coffee. My sister-in-law Shelley came and picked up the boys and took them to a backyard Bible club for the afternoon. Thank God for that! Yesterday I went to the grocery store. Wal-Mart to be specific. As I was there I was having all these random thoughts so I pulled out my shopping list and turned it over and started writing them all down as they came so that I could blog about it. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy the inner workings of my mind....

*Where the heck are the fish sticks?
*For the last week or two I've had this crazy craving for onions...sweet grilled onions. This is weird because I've never cared for onions in the past. But now I want them every day.
*Few people may know this about me, but I probably write a new blog every day in my head. Most never get published.
*I am a lot funnier in my head than what comes out in my blog. In fact, I'm one of the funniest people I know. Sometimes other people just don't get it.
*Josh thinks I'm funny. I crack him up all the time.
*Channel 24 is not allowed on in my house.
*I have always heard talk about people being emotional eaters. I never thought that I struggled with this particular issue...that is until I started living in stress. I am a stress eater. I guess the good news about this is that I'm not stressed most of the time.
*I'm getting old. Today I bought my very first eye cream. I noticed wrinkles around my eyes the other day.
*I have taken it personally that we have not had much interest in our house. I love my house. I have put my heart and soul into decorating it. Why doesn't anyone like it? You can take a tour of our house at http://www.openonthenet.com/ click on 'Tours' and then click the house with the address 2485 NE Cleveland.
*Despite how you all out there who read this, feel about this particular issue- I feel like there is a lot of spiritual warfare surrounding our move. I feel like God wants us to move and Satan is trying to stop it.
*I admit it...I love Cambell's bean with bacon soup.
*Is it wrong that I buy Pam cooking spray for the one reason that it is shorter than the others and fits in my cupboard?
*Wal-Mart desperately needs more checkers on Sunday nights...every time I come, the lines are huge and long!
*Does anyone have moving boxes we can use?
*I think it would be interesting if when we got within 5 feet of a person or so we could hear their thoughts. Although I wouldn't want others to hear my thoughts...I'm afraid that I wouldn't seem as good of a Christian if everyone could hear my thoughts. I guess God had the right idea after all.
*God usually has the best ideas.
*Although, I totally disagree with Him about the whole 9 month pregnancy thing. I think it should have been 6 months max.
*I think it's funny the things that Josh finds sexy. He's not into lingerie at all. He thinks the sexiest thing I could possibly wear are those short cotton shorts that are so popular right now.
*I wonder if I could pull off black hair.
*I love flowers. All kind of flowers. Really, plants in general. They make me happy.
*Grocery shopping is my alone time.
*I just spotted a strange convenience food. Individually wrapped and packaged green beans. Seriously. Who would buy fruit cup type packages of green beans. Gross.

    Wow, I could go on about your comments...they are great. I love them. One in particular really jumped out at me though--the L O N G lines at Walmart. I hate Walmart. I hate it. Hate is a strong word, and I know you know that I hate Walmart. Whenever I go (which is rare, because I try and stock up by buying 10 things of deoderant, and toothpaste, just so I don't have to go back for the essentials every month) the lines are horendous (sp?). I walk out in a worse mood than when I walked in....and I am a pretty happy girl. Anyway, I applaud you for going into the super store of sorts, and actually taking the time to write down these thoughts. I couldn't have done it. I run in and run out as fast as I can!!! -Heidi :)

    Oh, but you see Heidi, as my later thought tells you, grocery shopping is my alone time. So although I hate long lines in general, while I'm alone at walmart or wherever, I don't mind it as much. I know the sooner I get through the line, the sooner I have to go home!

    I also disslike walmart. I do go to Cosco though. Costco and 'w' sound similar as far as long lines and rude people go. When I go to 'c' I just expect that the other customers will be rude and will walk accross the parking lot without looking and in front of my LARG TRUCK and......oops! I guess I have a new pet peve.
    I did love the post though. It made me feel normal!
    Hey, while we're on to random....Kristi~you should video one whole day of your life. From start to end. My Mom's suggested that to me when the Twins were about 6mo. old and I never did. I wish I would have. I've forgotten so many small things I used to do everyday. ANYWAY!
    Love.

    Oh man! I'm so glad that other people are having totally random thoughts running through their minds also!! It's great that you are not afraid to put them out there!! If people knew my inner random thoughts then they would think I'm totally weird!!

    I also appreciate the idea of getting alone time in places such as Walmart! No one else can ever understand this until they find themselves followed constantly by children, who do not ever consider a locked bathroom door an obstacle. I totally get it, believe me!
