Random Musings

This would be a day that mind is everywhere...so this post will reflect all my randomness. I only get like this when I have a million things to do but I am not very motivated to get it all done. Today I am sore, really, really sore. From what you may ask?
Well, I played the Wii
A video game made me sore
You may think that is crazy until you try it yourself! I read an article in the Sunday paper about Senior Citizens who get together to play Wii Sports (which is what I played) because they can't do it in real life anymore. They bowl via video games and even have tournaments and such. I played tennis, baseball, and boxing and my arms are having a difficult time even extending all the way straight!!!
If you have never played you actually have to do the actions of what you are playing. So boxing, I was tearing Bridger up- I knocked him out, but I am paying for it still 2 days later.

Tonight I have to run an FRG meeting...was trying not too but I didn't do one last month so we have a lot of information to get out to the families. So it is a must! A couple of weeks ago I was telling keith that I just wanted to be done with FRG and his soldier drama but it is hard to leave when he is still the commander. He listened but didn't say much. The next morning though he called me to say Congratulations, you are the Brigade Volunteer of the Month.
Ok, fine....I will stick with it a little while longer!!!!
But I am looking forward to the few years of 'rest' we will get when Keith leaves command. We have been going at this neck-breaking pace for almost a year now. It was fun in the beginning, but not so much now!

Here are just some random pictures of this last week at our household.

Jadyn in my bed and on my computer!?! I asked her what she thought she was doing and her answer was "researching grubs"-- such a Montessori answer if I do say so myself.

I have this new obsession-- cupcakes, donuts, sweets of almost any kind- but they are not real. Fakes, posers. They are knitted, felted, crocheted, painted, silkscreened or whatever but I have decided that I Love them!!! All of them!! Sometime this next week I will share some of my favorite pictures from other people, but I do have one of my own.

These are my hand sewn felt donuts! One even has sprinkles!! Are they not the cutest thing ever? Keith thinks I have gone crazy and can't understand why I would want to sew donuts, but I can! I think I am going to collect all things cupcakes. I just love them and can't resist them and must have more of them!

Talking about sweets-- I have found another love. This one is a new brand that Target carries and it is awesome.

Dark chocolate covered expresso beans!! you used to only be able to get these in speciality coffee shops- now Target has come thru for us again! They are so flippin good and give you a little zing.

Here is another project I am working on

I am not going to mention what it is yet just in case it doesn't turn out!! But this is wool yarn and I am going to wash it so it will shrink immensely and look completely different then it does now. I so don't have time to do this kind of thing BUT doing vinyl 24/7 drives me crazy. So I just figured that I will have to make time to do other creative things to keep me from burning out. Have a ton of projects in mind! Hopefully this will turn out cute.

And lastly-- talking about cute--- I guess---well, cute isn't being on my kitchen table-- but when you put a basket there and the cat gets into it to sleep, I guess that is cute.
