I hope that by now you’ve come to expect random hodge podge posts from me on Thursdays. It’s just the “Blue-Eyed Bride way,” right?
- I cannot wait for January. My calendar is so full right now and it completely wigs me out not to be able to find weeknights where both TC and I are free. It’s all great stuff that I love, but I’m a homebody. I like to be home.
- One of the things on my calendar is a photography class for moms– or non-moms. The class is for three weeks and Brooke Turner is teaching it. My friend and I are taking it together. I don’t want to be a professional, but I do want to get the most out of my camera and get great pictures of my children.
- I need to update you all on my reading list of 2011. Basically, when Hayes was born, I kind of fell off the reading wagon and have been slowly trying to get back on. I’ve read three books since he was born, but I wish I could say I’ve read 5 or 6 books since he was born. It all goes back to not being able to shut off my brain at night.
- Carbs are bad, mmmkay? Yes, I realize that exposes me as a former South Park watcher because I just referenced Mr. Garrison, but we were all young once, right? I confess: I watched South Park in high school.
- But seriously. Carbs are bad. Not only do they make me gain crazy amounts of weight, but they also make me feel so crummy. Or is it crumby? Anyway, carbs make me feel yucky and bad.
- I’ve got a pretty great review and giveaway coming up from Oreck that lots of you girls will appreciate, I think. But, my gosh, this post will require me making an actual review video and that requires me washing my hair and wearing my skinniest outfit. Pssh.
- Speaking of hair… I got five inches of hair cut off last week. This was pretty significant. My hair is the shortest it has been in four years. And guess what! I have another appointment tonight to take my hair to a darker color. Maybe dark blonde, maybe light brown. I just don’t know yet. But my hair stylist basically told me that the insane amounts of blonde and insanely long hair were not great anymore and we needed to start over. Gotta tell ya… this made me very sad.
- If I end up doing this video for the Oreck giveaway, you’ll get to see the hair. But if it looks bad, I’ll just put a bag over my head to do the video.
- I have to say that I really appreciate all of the sweet words of encouragement and advice in the comments on my post about discipline. I just love blogging and I wish I could sit down and chat with all of you over some coffee.
- Yesterday, I mentioned that Hayes has been a rolling machine. I got some pretty cute pictures of him yesterday. I laid him down on his little play mat and within five minutes, he had rolled across the rug almost to the other side of the room. I warned him that he’s not allowed to crawl.
- Speaking of the cute Hazer, look at him in his little hat. Monday morning was pretty chilly and Hayes and I went for a walk. I got this hat for Hudson. I love having two boys and I love that we’re getting double the use out of all of the boy clothes!
- TC’s small firm purchased and renovated a historic home in town. The renovations have been going on for two years and are finally complete. The house looks amazing and I can only imagine how great it is to get to work somewhere so pretty every day. They hosted an open house last night for all of their friends, family, colleagues and even just the random passerby. It was hopping. But it was lots of fun! I hope I can get some pretty pictures of it to share soon.
- So, that’s about it. I may have reached a blogging low with my Mr. Garrison reference, but if that’s the worst that it gets, we’re all safe!
