Storms, Sleepiness, & Family

[kimana517]

+ It's amazing how many more comments come to my inbox when I'm actually leaving comments on my friends page. Funny how that works. It's been great catching up on you guys. I've missed you!

+ I've been exhausted since we got back. I suppose that's to be expected since I didn't get enough sleep while we were gone, but I slept 11 hours last night and the night before and I'm still dragging. Of course, today's headache probably isn't helping. Oh well. I'm pretty much used to being tired all the time.

+ Yesterday it stormed most of the day. I got out of the shower to discover Mandy laying next to it. So adorable. It's actually stormed for at least an hour or two every day we've been home. I'm pretty sure it didn't rain at all while we were gone.

+ Speaking of Mandy, thanks so much for praying for her while we were gone. She seems to have survived quite well and, in fact, even ate some of her food while we were gone. I was ridiculously worried about her, but she was fine.

+ The other day when I was at Sam's Club, I saw a middle-aged mom, her late teens/early 20s son and daughter, and her 11-year-old daughter. Every single one of them - even the mom - had Heelys on and were rolling through Sam's Club. Coolest. Family. Ever.

+ I feel really cute today. I wore a top I haven't worn for a long time, and it looks nice.

+ I miss my family. We shared a hotel suite with Mom, Dad, Grams, and Seth for a few days, and saw AAAC and Nathan, Nicole & James for much of two days up there too, but since we've been home I've only seen Mom, and only once (tonight). I miss spending all that time with them.

+ Today, Ken asked if I would consider taking over the church treasurer position. The current treasurer got a job in New Orleans and has to move very soon. I'm considering it. I don't think I'd particularly enjoy it, but I know I could do it (especially with Isaac to help me if I need his mad accounting skillz), and it would be extra money. So, I'm thinking and praying about it.

+ Any E.L.F. Cosmetics fans out there? If so, go here to find out how to get products for 50% off AND get free shipping. Can't beat 50-cent lip glosses and nail polish!

+ As usual, there was definitely more I wanted to say, but I've forgotten. Such is life.

While I think Heelys are a nifty invention, it irritates the crap out of me when people are rolling around in stores with them. I've been knocked into by a kid wearing them and have seen many more people get cut off by kids speeding by them. Stores are NOT the place to be using them.

I'm such a kill joy.

Funny how it takes commenting to get comments, ain't it?

Catching up on sleep is more of a challenge than most people realize. It can take three or four nights before I'm back to full power after a trip or staying up way late. I must be getting old. I used to be able to pull 2:30 am's several days in a row without feeling as if a truck had run over me. Alas, no more.

I must have missed your post about Mandy. I'm relieved she's all right. She's such a sweet little dog. Even if she did snub Esther's toy. ;)

Hay, did you get paid out for the www.yourfreewii.net ?? And was is the 250 or the 300?

LOL about that family - funniest story ever! :D

I would love to try out ELF, but they never have anything I want to buy in stock!

I'm sorry! It's true! I have more of a tendency to comment on other peoples' journals when they comment on mine! I hadn't noticed that I do that.
Pardon me while I alleviate my guilt by making a comment :D

That's great that Mandy is doing well. I bet she was overjoyed to see you back! Comet doesn't seem to care about thunder, but our Samoyeds were terrified of it! They would try to squeeze into the smallest space possible (behind the woodstove was a favorite) and shiver pathetically. Mandy's reaction was much sweeter.

Exhaustion is the pits! I know, because I'm there often, ha. ;-) I hope you get caught up on your sleep soon!

We've been getting lots of storms up here too!

Yay for feeling cute! :D

Oh, keep us updated on the treasurer position!

Woah. That E.l.f. makeup is cheap. Is it good?
