It’s Friday Evening and This Is What I’m Thinking…

I’m thinking that my mind is all over the place.

Everything seems so complicated and so simple at the same time.  Revision – people are so complicated, things are so simple.  Sorta. Kinda. Maybe.

I’ve been on a Waylon Jennings kick.  I’ve even surprised myself with this one.

So much is unimaginable until it happens.

This morning I came across a link to an Etsy shop selling friendship bracelets.  The kind my friends and I were making 30 years ago.  I didn’t know people still wore them.  {I also can’t help but think of the lost business opportunity for a bunch of 5th grade girls.}

I’ve been staring at paint chips on the wall the past 2 weeks.  I’m approaching the point where any mustard color will do.  And I’m sad that Aloe Blossom was quickly eliminated from the list. {And it was eliminated with a death glare to the paint chip.}

Would we be nicer people if we remembered that we’re all someone’s baby?  I don’t know.  It popped into my head as I was cooking dinner and I’ve been ruminating on it.

I’m not sure what I was doing when I took this photo, but it’s kinda cool.

Some days I really wish I could go to bed at 7 and be confident that Beau could make himself a real dinner and put himself to bed at 8:30.  That was last night.

Me to Beau: “Life is disgusting sometimes.”  {He was taking issue with having to spread “disgusting” cream cheese on a bagel he was about to eat.  Kids…}  That was also last night.

Everyday I get closer and closer to ordering this. I don’t know how much longer I can keep sweeping the floors twice a day.

I feel like I’ve been having to explain why we can’t look at the sun during the solar eclipse over and over.  Just don’t look into the sun.  It seems so obvious.

I finally took down our Easter/spring wreath (more spring than Easter) to put up our fall wreath.  Just doing my part to usher in fall-like weather in the desert.  So far, it’s not working.

Friday couldn’t have come any sooner this week.
