Random Thoughts

Random thoughts are the only things bouncing around in my head this week.

Weekend Mornings

The mornings are our "family time." During the weekdays it's the only time that Grace gets to see Aaron, so when the weekend rolls around, we are all about it. On the Saturdays that Aaron doesn't have to work we always head to Chick-Fil-A. Good food, play-place, and Diet Dr. Pepper on tap...perfection.

On Sundays we go for walks, lounge around, and make brunch. In fact we like 1:00pm church better than 9:00am church. We even like it better than 11:00am church. Feel free to gasp. I never thought I'd like it, but those beautiful, lazy, brunch filled mornings won me over. Not to mention how much Grace loves spending time with Aaron during that time.

 I love weekend mornings. Sunday is making its way up my list for favorite day.


Sticker Books

I really need to invest in a sticker book. Grace goes crazy when I buy new bananas because she likes the stickers on them.

 I'm sure my table would thank me for making such an investment.

Cardboard

It's back in my life. We're moving at the end of this week and the boxes are coming out. A lot of them we never unpacked, knowing that we wouldn't be staying in this apartment. Thankfully the packing process hasn't been stressful but the mere sight of the boxes and chaotic mess of my apartment makes me anxious.

Grace has loved playing in the stacks of boxes and pulling out new things to play with. In order to avoid accidents, and preserve my sanity, Grace has been watching Dora the Explorer. Bless NetFlix.

Craigslist

As we move into our new apartment, we decided to get rid of most of our "college" furniture. You know what I'm talking about, the mis-matched stuff that you accumulate but don't get rid of because "it still works and why waste the money." I love our couch, its unbelievable comfortable and in good shape, but I strongly dislike the fact that its plaid. BOLD and plaid. So we have been perusing furniture stores and checking items on Craigslist. I have literally searched through hundreds of ads and I'm still shocked that 75% of what people are selling is pure crap. I'm not sure why people are asking hundreds of dollars for couches like this:

 And this:

 And this. And I should mention that the seller bought this, and I quote, "A few years ago." Does he know that its 2011 and not 1993?

My favorites have to be the pictures taken with camera phones or without attempts to make the couch presentable for someone who wants to buy it. "Dude, your crap is all over the couch." "Well just wrap it up in a blanket and take the stupid picture!"

Classy.
