Why yes, it is the lovely time of the week where I try and summarize my amazingly interesting life in ten simple – and numbered – installments. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing though. Hmmmmm. Guess I will let you decide!
1. I am not sure if you heard or not, but Milwaukee had 506 million gallons of sewage overflow. That loveley overflow came out of the sewers and went into the lake, people’s houses and in my case, my car. Hubby came back from a trip to Cali to find a flooded car in the airport parking lot. Mmmmm, nothing like a car full of sewer overflow!
2. On a good note, I am seriously crushing on our insurance adjuster who agreed that the car was unfixable. Thank you adjuster man!! (smooch) Off to the junk yard you go poo car. I mean really, who wants to drive a poo car? Not this lassie that’s for sure!
3. I am now in the midst of shopping for a new car that is not riddled in poo. It has been such a pleasant experience with Hubby. I wish we could do this all. the. time. *ahem*
4. I finished reading The Help. Not that I had a choice since I could not for the life of me put it down. Yesterday I started The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I have been warned it will induce the same response. Anyone available to watch my two boys so I can read? Anyone??
5. Last weekend I was able to complete #48 on my Bucket List while I was in Ohio. Only 50 more to go! I wonder which one I will conquor next? If I had my way it would be “Learn to surf”!
6. As summer is quickly passing me by, my To-Do List is not. My goal is to tackle the chaos that is our mudroom this week. The boys, (Hubby included), throw their stuff every where when they get in the house and it is driving me bonkers! I hate that the first thing I see when I walk in the door is a mess.
7. Under the “cuteness” category – Monkey Boy came home from VBS with a blue baby Moses swaddled in brown felt and floating in a cupcake wrapper. Who doesn’t love a bright blue baby Moses?
8. I have been growing out my hair for quite some time now and have finally achieved the Ultimate Goal – the ponytail! Yep, I can finally pull all my hair back in a ponytail which makes it great when I am running or playing soccer. Ok, let’s be honest. It is great when I am feeling lazy and don’t want to do anything with my hair and am tired of wearing baseball caps. There! I said it. Are you happy now?
9. So excited for tomorrow when I get my rock hard hamstrings and IT band worked on. I am hoping she can work some magic so I can actually walk without pain and maybe even be able to touch my toes for once! I was also told it may hurt so much that I will cry. Yikes! Wish me luck!
10. I decided to change my Monday post to coincide with my friend Rachel’s Mouthwatering Mondays. But I will put a unique twist to mine – I am going to post about a new vegan recipe that I have tried every week. And in Rachel’s words, I promise they will be ‘Tonguegasmic‘!
Don’t forget to head over to This Mom’s Wired for the original Thursday Ten! I heard she’s baking cookies… yum!
About Kat
Yay for ponytails and insurance adjusters!
Oh well. Maybe in September?
BOO for POO!
Also, I wish I had time to read. I have the third book in the Millennium series sitting on the couch and I want to concentrate on reading it – too hard with little kiddos in my face
yay for ponytails and boo for pool
hey sarah said yay for ponytails too!
you just make me smile
xo
So how was The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? I’m reading it right now in Indonesian. I plan to read all three, my fil and sil gave them high ratings. Just heard there’s a movie done in Swedish (is that a language too?) with English subtitles that’s excellent and that Hollywood is making their own version as well. Once I’m done the book I’ll look up the movie (and maybe read it in English too!).
