New Year, New You....

ADHD part 42.... I love to exaggerate and use that number .... I have at least 42 thoughts running through my head....
1.  Today ended freedom... back to school, but tomorrow we are on a two hour delay due to the cold weather!  It makes me homesick for Greenville... I used to love two hour delay days... we got credit for being at school but our day was shortened... I used to stay up late the night before waiting on the call... checking out the window every hour.... and listening for the news... wow how things have changed... now we get a text, a phone call, or a facebook message... I like it! 

2.  I was playing around with my blog while ago... I'm shocked that I have had 12,699 visitors to my blog... I'm a little concerned that I'm being stalked, or either someone is constantly reading the same things over and over again... I completely understand why people go private now with their blogs... I mean this my diary... for my children... I don't mind sharing how much I love them with everyone, but that may be too many people...

3.  I am sure that Mayonnaise would not approve of the contraption I have set up in my garage for the dogs tonight... I have a small space heater plugged in on top of a college dorm refrigerator with the cords from the extension cord inside it... the cords are drapped over the motorcycle and a shelf... I also have a tarp nailed to the door to block the wind... I feel sure that someone important will be visiting me tomorrow... I will have to get up at the regular time to get all that stuff out of the way! 

4.  I am so mad at myself after reading one of my friend's post on facebook... Her church is offering a warm place for anyone who doesn't have heat and they are cooking breakfast for those that stay... what a gracious church... Wish I had thought of doing that! 

5.  I bought several little things this weekend... my favorite was a clear pitcher with a piece running down the middle... when I held it up, Mama said that I would be able to freeze that middle piece and keep things cold... she was wrong... it is for fruit... I cut up lemons and oranges and stuck them down the middle... the fruit infuses into the water... so good... and I hate pulp... and seeds... so none of that comes in to play.... also- the fruit stays fresh for a week to ten days like that... so refreshing... can't wait to try some new fruits...

6.  Mark has flown to San Diego... Here I sit in my bed with two blankets on me and he is wearing short sleeved shirts... I would be jealous of him, but the text he sent me this afternoon changed my mind... "We are crossing into Arkansas... Looking for better air... 225 mph headtail winds"... oh my gosh... I would die right there...

7.  I could really care less who wins between Auburn and FSU.... I'm watching... but no excitement to me... I'm glad I'm not a majorette anymore... there is nothing flattering about those uniforms...

8.  I LOVE surprises and thoughtful gifts... this afternoon I saw a box at my front door when I drove up... I tried to remember what in the world I had ordered... I quickly ran in and opened the box... I didn't have a lot of time before I had to leave for tumbling... I saw that it was a beautiful wintry scene puzzle... In my mind, I said, "Mark needs his butt kicked... I have to take KB to Augusta on Mondays, I have class on Tuesdays, Wednesday is church night, and Fridays and Saturdays we have basketball... He knows I will be so caught up with the puzzle I won't do anything else!"... As we were driving home from Augusta I got a message and realized Mark didn't order the puzzle...  It was a thoughtful gift that was from the heart!  I LOVE IT!  And now... since it was a gift... I have to do it... I'm going to let Mark take KB tumbling next week, I'm going to procrastinate on my homework, and I'm going to stay up late working on that puzzle!  I love sweet notes, sweet presents, and sweet  friends! 

9.  I have a prized container of "different tea" on my counter.  This weekend I called BC and she said she was looking for the recipe for Russian tea... Jim and Guille always asked for different tea... so that is what I say... Mama made us some tonight and sent me a tupperware dish with it!  I can't wait to drink it in the morning!  It used to be my favorite... and...it's is no fat!  She used Splenda.... 

10.  I am hoping that we have a snow day the day after the Super Bowl too... It's only halftime and almost 10:30... too late....

11.  I start my last semester of school tomorrow... am I sad... NO... am I going to miss... HECK NO... have I learned anything the past two years... Well... WE WILL SEE.... Am I going to have a tremendous amount of time after April!!!!  YES!!!!

12.  I am working on our summer plans now... we have been fortunate enough to go somewhere every summer with Mark's work or the Huddle House convention.... This year the two events are both being held in Atlanta... I'm thinking I need to go somewhere educational.... like Hawaii... like that could be my graduation present... like Pearl Harbor is educational...and volcanoes... and I'm sure lots of other things... I'm going to get my case together before I present it to Mark! 

13.  I love January... the newness of everything... the cleanliness... the organization... I have to get a little more motivated... that darn puzzle is throwing my schedule off....

14.  I sure do hope someone will text me if some exciting news is happening on facebook and instagram... I have to give up something... I have replaced them and candy crush with other "better" habits.... let's hope I can stick with it! 

My other favorite number is 14... I stop at 14 tonight because I'm tired...

15. One more... I don't think women should be announcers for football... they haven't played a down in their lives... why would they want to announce the game???? Doesn't make sense to me....
