Lately I've had many random thoughts running through my little head. (Or big head, as it may be...) Luckily, this blog is the perfect place for my maybe-not-very-articulate-or-particularly-witty-or-insightful-but-things-I'd-like-to-share thoughts.
Of course, like most posts lately, I will end with some cute pics. I don't even care if you read the following bullet lists... you can just scroll down to see my adorable baby if you want. I wouldn't blame you. :)
- Last week, after too many nights where the girl didn't want to sleep, I was really really tired. As Tom was leaving for work, he asked me if I was okay. Below is a concise version of my response:
"I'm good. I'm just tired. Really tired. My brain hurts... that's how tired I am. But I'm good. I just want to make cookies, though. That's all I really want to do. I want to make the world's best cookies. I want to give them to people. I want to eat them. Why can't I just make cookies, Tom?" (He told me I could.) "I can't make cookies right now, I would eat them all. All of them. Every single one. I would tell myself I would give them away to neighbors, but it's too hot to walk down the stairs to give them to someone. So I would eat them all. I want to make the world's best cookies. That's all I want to do with my life right now."
Needless to say, I was pretty tired... and yet, here I am a week later still wishing I could make the world's best cookies. I'm pretty sure that is my real calling in life. I'm going to get on that one of these days.
- I keep wanting to delete my facebook account... I probably won't, but some days I really want to. I love that I can know what's going on in my friend's lives (and, let's be honest... I also love knowing what's going on in the lives of people I don't really know anymore), but I really hate how our "social" world is so... well, NOT social. The online community, while useful in many ways, makes it too easy to just "know" what's going on rather being a part of it. And more than anything, I HATE how things like fb and some blogs just continue to promote a nasty junior-high-ish feeling of ALWAYS comparing yourself to someone. I just don't think it brings out the best in people or relationships. /rant
- It's raining right now, the baby is asleep, and therefore life feels pretty good. If only I were making cookies.
- I keep feeling like really good things are on the horizon. I often get this feeling around spring time. I can never explain the feeling in a way that fully satisfies my experience with it, but it's good.
- I have ice cream in my freezer that I'm not eating. What is wrong with this picture?
- I have a really beautiful, energetic, eager, sometimes dramatic little girl. Wanna see:
Peace out, internet.

I think you should pursue this cookie making idea.
I'll be your taste tester. ;)
P.S. Cami is so freaking cute. :)
I agree with Katie about the cookies... I decided I wanted to make cookies lately too, but cannot indulge this fantasy because it would destroy my current diet as directed by my doctor. So do it for me. Enjoy them for me... *sigh*
I also agree that Cami is adorable.
I totally know what you mean. That cookie conversation is totally something I would say when I'm way tired. Only mine would probably be something like, I just want to paint right now, or read, or take bath and then I'd go crazy about how I can't do any of those things, when I really could if I could think about things clearly when I'm tired. But, I can't.
Also, I've come close to deleting my facebook account tons of times too. What is holding me back? I'll never know.
Also, oh. my. goodness. Your baby is so adorable.
