Random Thoughts for a Tuesday

• I thought I was addicted to Smarties™. But, now that they’re all gone from the Halloween Candy Stash, and I haven’t had the urge to replenish the supply, I realize it was an addiction of convenience…an addiction fueled by the sweet intoxicatingly wonderful little pieces of pure paradise, but an addiction of convenience nonetheless.

• The other day, I may have implied that the vacuum would suck up all of Claire’s toys if she didn’t get them put away…and Claire cleaned her room in record time!  Mooooo-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.  The line between good and evil is so blurry sometimes. 

• Claire’s birthday present from us is really large and heavy. On Sunday, I was able to help my hubby move it from his car to the downstairs Guest Room, where it will be hiding until we move it upstairs to her room. At that time, I’d prefer that someone else help him move it. So, if you’re big and burly and you get a dinner invite from us, you may or may not need to bring your back-brace.  We’ll serve a wonderful meal, and remember…lift with your legs! 

• My current favorite Riesling has switched from a cork to a twist-top cap. The Riesling is called Relax, and the cap says “chill and unwind.” How punny and clever!

• Remembering to take my cloth re-usable bags to the grocery store took some getting used to, but I’ve been doing it for so long, that now it feels weird to not use them.  In fact, if I forget them, I’ll even walk all the way back across the parking lot to get them from the trunk of my car.

• Also, I’ve found that the four cloth re-usable grocery bags I have easily hold the equivalent of 15 plastic-bags of groceries.  I’m not sure how the math works on that, but I’m okay with it.

• Today is 11/11…make a wish!
