Well...

I seriously question my sanity sometimes. I swore I heard a knock at my door this morning at 6:30 but just chalked it up to being delirious because when I went upstairs an hour later I found two snoring munchkins. Thankfully for both of us I wasn't. I later weaseled it out out of one of them that they had come down only to go back up to bed. Yeesh.

School was cancelled for M today due to the winds knocking out the power. It was out at A's school too but they soldiered on despite the set back. It was so powerful that J said that the wind even knocked the truck around. I had to grip the steering wheel with both hands in the Rav. Gusts of wind and snow blew across the road and formed mini tornado looking gusts in the grass. 

After swim lessons I took A to the Moose is Loose bakery. It was on the promise that I wouldn't hear any more whining which only semi lasted but I was too tired to argue so we went anyway. It was full of kitschy decorations and everything moosey.  Yes, that's a real word. I consented to letting her have a giant donut before dinner, cause you're only four once. I tried to be semi health conscious and got a triple berry scone. Oh man for being so darn expensive was it ever terrible. I ate it due to being hungry and not wanting to waste good money. Let's see then I was in charge of dinner so I resorted to my typical kiddo fare and we went to the grocery store, danced with elves, argued about gum, perused Barbie cakes and bought dinner fixings for pizza bagels. Speaking of dinner, if anyone has any tricks for getting a finicky 4 year old to eat veggies I would be grateful. I tried disguising them, I tried bartering, I tried reverse psychology, I tried blissful ignorance and then I was just done. 

My current goal is to work on more "me" projects and spend time doing things I never could at the nine to five grind. So, I'm working on a water-coloring project, am so thankful I have friends that convinced me to bring my guitar and this blog is a big undertaking. OH! Sidetrack. I got the funniest text message today. So probably  a year or so ago I dated, and when I say dated, I mean I sent a few e-mails and went on one HORRENDOUS date with this guy. He would keep texting me until I finally told him that I was seeing someone, which I wasn't...anyway. I come home from the daily running around and see an odd text message. Let me if you might re-create the conversation. Words in the () are commentary.  It left me both laughing and confused:

Mr W: Hey there beautiful.(this should have been a clue)

Me: I got a new phone (lies). Who is this?

Mr. W:  W (inklings of who that is)

Me: Who? (I actually know who it is...I'm just being a jerk now)

Mr. W: We met at so and so.

Me: OK (Blissful ignorance)

Mr. W: I'd like to take you out some time. (gross)

Me: (several, several minutes later) There's a reason we only went on one date. I'm also living out of state now. 

Mr. W: Well I hope you changed. (HUH???)

Boys...who needs them....:P

Let me just tell you that it was a date from hell. Let me sum it up by saying that he told me in a very small public area that he was imagining me inappropriately and then I had to fake an emergency when a friend called, just like on TV, and run for my life. Fast.....geez.

OK on that odd final note.  Goodnight world!  :P

(Not too shabby right? I found this awesome transfer paper to better sketch before painting)
