Bits

-- I had a wretched day today. Hubs is taking me out for burgers (with a Groupon, woohoo!) Thank the heavens that this day is over. It can only get better from here, right?

-- I was reminded that I turned on comment moderation a ways back, and I checked and had 10 comments waiting! I felt so loved. I hated that I felt I needed to turn on moderation, but it had come to that. It probably won’t stay – I really hate to be that type of blogger. I don’t mind disagreements, or even criticism. I do not tolerate constant intentional rudeness. Show the love, people.

-- I’m still bummed about Stacie not being able to comment these days, but look what I got from her Etsy store (oops, photo to follow)! I’ve gotten compliments on the pink danglies (earrings) and the bobby pins already this week.

-- Spencer is having a friend spend the night on Saturday because his mom needed a sitter. I made the mistake of mentioning it to him last night, and now it’s pretty much all he talks about. “Is Orion coming tonight?” “I’ll show Orion my train book” “Orion needs to see my new bed” etc etc ad nauseum. It’s super cute but bordering on annoying.

-- we may have bunk beds, but we also have a baby sleeping in the same room. I’m thinking toddlers might need to build a fort in the living room and sleep in their sleeping bags so I don’t have to deal with waking infant. Orion has a habit of staying up past my bedtime.

-- I’m semi-planning a bridal shower for a friend who lives in Delaware, and I really really need to get the invites printed and out. This weekend. At least I’ve designed them (so effing cute – picnic theme with ants and hearts), it’s just about getting to a store to get them copied and cut, and envelopes addressed and stamped and out. Oye. I think I don’t have a whole lot left to do for the party after that though, beyond planning emails. Not much I can do 1,115 miles away.

-- I’m wondering if I would run better to books on MP3. I’m getting a tad sick of the Pandora Glee station, and I’m already sick of the Pandora Gaga station, and I have no idea what else to listen to. Any suggestions?

-- by the way though, as much as I’m not a fan of Glee-the-show, their cover of Poker Face is brilliant. It took me about 20 seconds to confirm to myself that it was indeed Poker Face, and then I wanted to walk instead of run just so I could listen a little better. Way slowed down though, so not great for running.

-- I’m signing up for the Princess half marathon in February! I’m pretty sure I’m nuts, but at least I get to wear a tiara and tutu while I run!
