Random Thoughts

I was going to bombard you with pictures of fabric and quilts and patterns and ask you all kinds of which color sashing should I use and do you think this binding would match?

Then I realized you could care less. That you are not the fabric hoarder that I have become.

I actually told Chris the local quilt store was taking a trip to 3 different states JUST to go to fabric stores. Sounds like the funnest ever.

He told me it would be me and a bunch of blue-hairs. That they are bus-tripping because they can't drive anymore. It's kinda maybe probably the truth.

ok so I'm totally a runner. I JOGGED for 25 FREAKIN minutes STRAIGHT. I'm pretty much amazed with myself.

The geriatrics couldn't do that. Except some can because I see them at the fun runs.

B. Tee. DUB. I need a shirt that says One Bad MotherRunner.

The hubby wants to remodel. Once the hubby wants something - he's like a freakin bulldog. He sinks his teeth in and WILL NOT SHUT UP until I just give in. How do you think Grayson got here?

Chris wants to remodel our bathroom and put wood floors in. I don't neccessarily think it's an awful idea. I just don't want to shop for the stuff, or find someone to put the stuff in, or spend the money. I just want it to be done. Is that REALLY too much to ask?

Random picture

This is how I let my child run around on the weekends. pj pants - totally crazy mismatched shirt - shoes (sometimes)

This is also a picture of potty training gone wrong - very wrong. He has on big boy unders in this picture. I told him 1,947 times that he can't go potty in the big boy unders.

We go in the house and he tells me "I poop" and he wasn't lying. All up in the big boy unders. Me and potty training are NOT friends.

So if you want a whole post about fabric - just say the word. Did you nod? wait, was that a wink? No? oh ok.

Maggie runs around in similar outfits! Except she usually has some sort of Halloween shirt on since we had a friend give us like 10 for real. And yeah, it'd totally be you and a bunch of blue hairs haha- which absolutely cracks me up.

Samantha said...

Ahh, yes, the mismatched pj pants. It's Bree's favorite around here. Drives me crazy, because I'm all OCD about matching and stuff, but hey...she's 3.

I always see fabric and love it, but then realize that I suck with anything involving anything crafty. I can't thread a needle...I don't even wanna think about a sewing machine.

I'd be all for remodeling, but the money aspect...I hate spending money.

Nichole said...

I can see you on the bus with those blue haired women! :oP Maybe they could be friends with Nana! LOL

Love the outfit! Nothing wrong with it to me. He was covered and that is all that matters! He looks much better than some of the hooker teenagers I see at the mall....ewwww!

And, I am with you on remodeling. Wish there was an "ALL DONE" button!

Katherine said...

Glad to know I'm not the only one with Potty Training woes. Why can't they see the benefit of using the potty?

My husband is the same way....all he keeps talking about is building a freakin' patio. I said something about having the neighbors over, and he said, "We better get on that patio, then." Because that's a make or break deal, right? *seething with sarcasm*

Amber said...

25 MINUTES! You're amazing! I wish I could jog for 2 minutes straight.

Some gray haired people run - I worked with a 66 year old who ran marathons, no lie. He was one of those "in the zone" runners, he was amazing. I miss working with him.

You know you're going to post pictures of fabric and such anyway...you may as well just do it and be proud, haha

Sheila said...

FIne! I will come over and put wood floors in for you and then you won't have to worry about it!

Don't worry - evenutally the potty training thing DOES get better!

Debra said...

I am still pretending that potty training doesn't exist. :)

MiMi said...

Dude, let Sheila come and do the remodeling. :)
And, yes, do a post on fabrics. We love you.

Impulsive Addict said...

You always crack me up!!!!! I love your face off!

Poo and I don't get along. Can you potty train Emma for me? I don't want to.

Post about fabric. We'll read it and dream that we will be as cool as you.

And Brandy the RUNNER? Stop it! You're totally kickin' ass and taking names!

The Allen's said...

I love looking at the fabric you pick out! And I'm not even a quilter...its just pretty. You should do a fabric post.

K said...

I like checking out your crafts - and I don't even craft.

Good luck with the potty trainning - it was a bit rough here too. But he did eventually learn to use the freakin' potty (even if he was 3.5 before he was fully riding the potty train.)

That corgi :) said...

sure, bring it on with the fabric post! I'll offer my opinion on what works or not, LOL

remodeling! always better when it is done, but not when it is happening. I'd postpone that as long as possible, didn't you guys just move in?

comfort over looks as far as kids' clothes I do believe! G looks cute like that!! He might be telling you he just isn't quite ready for the potty training......

Corinne said...

we had a similar potty insistent this morning. Noah wears diapers at night, he must have pooped right when he woke up, he decided to take his poopy diaper off by himself. ARG!! what a mess.

I saw your fabric on FB, you are one crazy fabric hoarder

Jayme said...

You might not know this about me, but I too am a fabric hoarder. I love me some fabric stores. Notions make me swoon.

Bring it on.

Lindsey said...

No need to worry... you're very favorite blog buddy is BACK!
I've got a fabric problem too... I'm starting a baby quilt. Maybe. I mean, I bought everything, but this baby stuff is hard work. Who knew?

Kate said...

Amazed at the running. I'm still working on it, but it's getting better. I didn't feel like I was going to die tonight.

I love fabric. My mom and I are always going to different stores. She got to take one of those trips last week to NC. I was super jealous.

Poop is not fun. Funny, but not fun.

I don't like to remodel, but once I start I work until it's done. Because it needs to be DONE.

WhisperingWriter said...

Oh that's fine, sometimes we don't even get dressed on weekends. I mean, we're in our PJs, we don't run around butt naked or anything.

Cerise said...

I would freaking LOVE to take a trip around 3 different states just to fabric shop. How awesome would that be? And how broke would I be? It's a good thing I don't have any credit cards...I would be in some trouble.
You are my idol. 25 minutes of running scares the heck out of me. You totally need to make that shirt!

Jenerally Speaking said...

My girls rule the mismatch look! I think he's cute!! :)

You are FREAKIN AWESOME!! And I can say that since I know you IRL!! :) Okay so that was just a sad attempt at using irl since I never get too. lol

I found a few other funny shirts -
Running is cheaper than therapy.
I'm a bomb technician. If you see me running try to keep up. :)
But really I love the shirt you made me.
The 3 of us need shirts that say Running Rockstars! :)

Raven said...

When my kids were little I pretty much let my kids run around in whatever they wanted most of the time. It gave them some control over their lives and let them express their individuality. My mother, who is very prim and proper and all about appearances hated me for it. And the kids hated having to get 'dressed up' for grandma, which meant they actually had to match. lol

Love your random! I'm with you on the remodeling. I'm the same way with cleaning. I don't want to have to clean, I just want my apartment to be clean.

Melissa said...

25 minutes? You're a bad mother runner!
I was proud of completing w1d1 last night...I ran for 60 seconds multiple times. haha
Love the outfit. We totally do that on weekends! And oh...poop in the panties at our house is horrid. I hate it and Addie hates it worse...

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Look at all your followers, you rock! I love when you show the fabric for your quilts because they are always perfect. Make sure the codes let you put wood in the bathrooms, sometimes they only allow tile. I can't believe you are a runner, that is so cool. You are going to slim way down. Sorry about the poop!
