Lately, I have been watching a lot of news and now I think I am all news’d out. I am so done with the healthcare debate. I admit I still catch a peek just to see what’s going on, but I need to move on. I was thinking about what I could post as random thoughts are floating in my head. So in no order things that you probably don’t care about or maybe don’t even want to know.
1. I recently had a colonoscopy because of my Crohn’s disease. It was very painful. It took me about a week to recover.
2. Because of said colonoscopy, I am currently on Prednisone (a steroid). It makes me achy, but it also makes me hungry! The cravings are very strange. Usually I crave something sweet. Lately, I have been craving bologna and cheese sandwiches. I haven’t had a bologna and cheese sandwich in years. Now all of a sudden, it’s my lunch every day. All thanks to Prednisone.
3. I really like living here in New Mexico and especially the little town we live in. I do miss not having Target right down the street or Kohl’s a hop, skip and a jump away. I am surviving though and probably saving money, too.
4. I often times feel that I need to be teaching Baden more, but am learning that through every day interactions he is learning. Kids are amazing.
5. I think everybody should read Glenn Beck’s book, Common Sense. I will be doing another blog post about this because it is that good.
6. I subscribe to the National Review and the Weekly Standard. They are both political magazines with a conservative bend. I also get Reader’s Digest and a cooking magazine which I really enjoy reading, but I needed something entertaining so I am now a subscriber to Entertainment Weekly.
7. I decided to start subscribing to EW when I went to the movies last weekend and realized I had no idea what was coming out and I felt so out of it.
8. I was recently called to be the assistant den leader in Cub Scouts at church. I also received a second calling as a Relief Society teacher. I am not sure about Cub Scouts, but am way excited about RS.
9. If I ever get to build a house, I want radiant floor heating. We have tile flooring in our house and the tooties get chilly really fast.
10. I am excited about the upcoming BallonFest in ABQ.
11. I am really looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with Bill’s sister and her family.
12. I am ultra excited to be spending Christmas with my parents for the first time in many, many years.
13. We have a ton of toys up in the loft, but the boys always want to play downstairs.
14. I am seriously considering making freezer meals so I don’t have to worry about what to cook each night. I really hate cooking dinner. Peanut butter and jelly, anyone?
15. I wish I was a better organizer.
16. I like Facebook mainly because of Bejeweled Blitz, but love blogging more. It’s my electronic journal.
17. Really need to be doing my transcribing work, but always find something better to do.
18. I am really proud of Jessica and all of her accomplishments. She is really growing at BYU.
19. Hopes that if my mother in law reads this, that she can make me some more dish towels that are so cute. hint, hint.
20. Really need to get back to work.
Your musings are interesting as always. We are also excited about you all coming for Christmas. I also think that Glenn Beck’s book Common Sense should be required reading for all voting citizen’s of the USA and for young people who will be voting soon.
Yep, I miss having stuff close by too. Now I just have Jonathan pick things up for me most of the time because he works in downtown Annapolis. Congrats on your new callings! Good luck with the cubs. I think this calling is in my future too.
I’ve also been feeling “news’d out” of late . . . . interesting.
Loved your post!
And thanks for the tip . . . I’ve been wanting to read that book!
