So I don't have pictures to post, but I'm bored at work (Fridays are usually pretty slow) so I thought I'd just post some SUPER randomness. I'll be amazed if anyone reads the whole thing. Oh, and I'm color coding each different thought.
I made the mistake of bringing Christmas music to work today. I had one of Amy Grant's Christmas songs stuck in my head this morning (don't ask me why), so I decided I wanted to listen to Christmas music.
Bad idea.
Look, I'm one of those people who gets REALLY bugged by Christmas taking over HALLOWEEN and Thanksgiving. I'm okay with it slooowly coming in over the month of November, but I mean really slow. Not like, the second October starts, Christmas stuff starts filling the stores. That bugs. I like to be able to enjoy each holiday on it's own, so I want Thanksgiving to be it's own thing. But listening to Christmas music got me SO excited! It makes me want to put up my tree and drink egg nog (I think Nate might hate Egg Nog...sigh...).
Lots of you probably already know this about me, but I LOVE to clean. I know - you think I'm a weirdo. Lately, I've been busy with other stuff and haven't kept my house as clean as I'd like. In fact, I realized two weeks ago, I hadn't mopped my kitchen floor since like August.
That's disgusting. It felt SO GOOD to get that floor squeaky clean again! And I love those days when I get a TON accomplished - all the dishes washed and the kitchen clean, laundry done, clutter picked up, etc. Does anyone just LOVE the feeling of your hard work and the finally clean house?
I have a new favorite show.
I was blog surfing one day and saw someone talk about a show called Pushing Daisies. The way they described it made it sound SO funny! I decided to give it a try and now I love it. It's really clean (which is amazing for TV these days), super funny and a very creative idea. I've heard rumors that they're talking about canceling it (not enough sex for viewers apparently...grr). Watch the show so they don't cancel it! To learn more, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushing_Daisies
I've read a couple of books lately that were COMPLETELY opposite books, which was fun. I read a book called The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler. At first, it kind of intrigued me - it was basically told in stream of consciousness I think. That's how it felt at least, but after awhile it just kind of bothered me that things would change really quickly. One sentence to the next would be totally different. Blah. While I'm glad I read the book, just for the sake of reading something new and different, I really didn't like the book in the end and HATED the ending. Also, apparently, it was made into a movie!
The other book I read was called Deception Point by Dan Brown (by the way, I Wikipedia'd Dan Brown - did you know he used to be a musician?).
If you've ever read a Dan Brown book, you know they are very grabbing; his books are very hard to put down. I really liked this one because I feel like I was better at solving what was going on than I was with Angels and Demons or The Da Vinci Code. I even guessed the bad guy WAY before he revealed it! Definitely action packed and totally unrealistic, so read it!
That's all. Thanks for reading my boredness. :)

Yesterday must have been the day to start listening to Christmas music, cuz I set it up for my Pandora station and we listened to it loud while we cleaned. And today I noticed that the radio station here that does Christmas music just started it yesterday too.
Alisa, once you have munchkins that hit 18 months, you can clean to your hearts content! And believe it or not, you will be truly happy.
