Random Musings for a Friday

Well, hello friends! I haven’t done one of these posts for a while, so I thought I would invade your newsfeed/inbox/life with what’s going on in my little realm. Also, see #10 and comment below!

1. So, my son isn’t a baby anymore. My husband took the above photos yesterday on the way to pick up Brooke from the bus stop. He’s officially an independent little boy who loves cars, balls and anything else he can throw. Baseball is in his future. Excuse me while I cry myself to sleep until 2017.

2. Yesterday and today, we came to Hood River because last night I taught a class about my 72-hour kit at our church. And by taught I mean rambled and talked about how my husband think the world is going to explode. I perspired the whole time. It was grand.

3. Also in Hood River: my in-laws. Meaning–>impromptu date with my hunny and NO KIDS! Say whaa? That never happens.

4. So, obviously we went out at 4pm and got double scoop ice cream cones to ruin our dinners. Reckless adults, we are.

5. I think I got wrangled into seeing Disney on Ice again. I took Brooke last year with one of her old friends and ridiculous questions stemmed from the entire experience. “How come Ariel doesn’t have a fin?” If she had a fin, she couldn’t skate. “But how can she swim without a fin?” You do know we’re not UNDER THE SEA right? Bah!!

6. Speaking of Brooke, she’s doing fine and dandy in Kindergarten with Mrs. Disco. That’s not really her teacher’s name, we just call her that…because we are the annoying people that do that. Also, we’ve enjoyed meeting all the parents at the bus stop. NOT. I’m so anti-social/awkward in new situations.

7. Does that make me a bad person? No. Yes. Maybe?! UGH.

8. Incase you were wondering, Brooke still knows how to do her crazy eyes. A skill she will never forget.

9. I’m running out of ideas on what new recipes to create. YOU GUYS. I never thought I’d see the day…

10. Needless to say, I’m taking any and all ideas or suggestions. Comment below 🙂

11. I think we’re going to see this movie this weekend. Also, I might attempt to recreate my grandma’s cabbage roll recipe. I have no starting recipe to work from, soooooo that should be fun.

12. I also will make ice cream too. Because lets be honest, there can never be too much ice cream. #doublescoopsfordayzzz

13. I somehow injured my left rhomboid muscle {the muscle right by my shoulder blade}. I thought that it was my scapula but alas, it was not.

14. I googled ‘pain under shoulder blade’ which led me to an article stating reasons there could be pain in my left shoulder blade. The #1 reason was ‘injury’. YOU DON’T SAY. Thanks for that groundbreaking discovery, google.

15. BUT, the #2 reason was aging. YOU GUYS!  Talk about a kick in the pants.

16. Back to crying myself to sleep. Oi!

17. Hope all your rhomboids are doing better than mine. Ouchie!

Anyways, hope you all have a fabulous weekend, friends! I’ll be back on Monday with that Bruschetta Chicken recipe you’re all dying to get 🙂 Yippee!
