Imma little late, sorry.
1. I have a small, stripey pink Pyrex bowl in my bathroom. I put my phone in there in the mornings to listen to music while I get ready for the day. Just the right amplification for that small space. You're welcome.
2. My little garden has produced, so far, one teeny tomato. Getting bigger everyday, I'm hopping he'll find a tomato wife and make more baby tomatoes. A green thumb I do not have.
3. Last week I made perhaps the biggest purchase I have ever made, outside my car and home. And I have to wait another week to get my hands on it. Patience, TPG, patience.
4. I'm sticking to my resolution to wear more clothes outside. (but not in the house, the house has little to no UV rays so I'm safe) Yesterday (or today if we are pretending it is Friday) I mowed the yard in long sleeves. My neighbor, the one who calls me kiddo, saw me out there and asked if I was feeling okay. I am not kidding. It's nice to have concerned neighbors, but maybe not so nice to be the one causing concern, ha!
5. My iTunes is giving me fits. It keeps losing songs. They are there, I'll manually locate them, add them back and then the next time I open iTunes, they are missing again. I need an Apple Genius on campus. Or you know, to google my problem and just fix it for good. There is always that route.
6. Sometimes I re-purchase my favorite books. Yes, I already have a dog-eared copy of Pride and Prejudice, but this one, this one is pink and green! I'm so excited to re-read this new copy; I just love a real book with paper pages and that book smell. Oh Mr. Darcy, what will you say to make my heart pitter patter this time?
8. I have six crepe myrtles in my yard. It's Texas y'all, they thrive in the heat and drought. My purple one bloomed this week and isn't just so pretty? I have one white one and I'll give you three guesses as to the color of the other four.
9. Getting dressed for work today I was reminded that I need a job that not only allows, but requires only booty shorts and a sports bra. So, that leaves, uh, host of Biggest Loser and yoga instructor. I'll get right on that.
10. I once met Michael Martin Murphey at a football game (he sang the national anthem) and it was freezing cold. Nice guy, he had his handler bring over those little heated hand warmers for me. Yep, that's my biggest celebrity encounter.
What celebrities have you met?
Good on ya for branching out to white rice. Sure, white's not as awesome as brown (in taste, texture and nutrients) but there's no shame in your Feed Zone game, TPG.
ReplyDeleteMost memorable celeb meeting: I interviewed Mat Hoffman when I was 12 for a segment two friends and I did for a local TV station. I was incredibly nervous to talk with him, but he couldn't have been nicer or smelled worse (BMXers' pads = rotten egg odor).
I must say I am often jealous of the phys ed teacher since she gets to wear her workout clothes to work!!! My hubby's new show diet has him eating jasmine rice. Something about brown rice not breaking down enough.
ReplyDeleteMy tomatoes are the same size as yours. I started a bit late. :)
ReplyDeleteoh and i luuuuuuv pride and prejudice and anything jane austen. maybe we should have an e-book club!! i could totally read it again this summer!!!!
Um, I'm super jealous of your purple crepe myrtles. Seriously. I NEED some. It's not a want...it's truly a NEED! =) PS. I miss reading your blogs more consistently. I need more time in my life! I hope you're doing well my Pink Girl friend! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove crape myrtles! :)
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom counter top is CLEAN! How did you do that? Well... Maybe I am just messy!
We are having a Texas weather week (humidex causing temps in the 106F+ region)....... don't know how you handle summer. Stay cool!!
ReplyDeleteE-book club! I vote yes. Love your crepe myrtles and your stripey bowl! We eat white rice all the time. I always figure if it's good enough for Japan, and all the healthy people there, it's good enough for me. But I think they probably don't eat entire bags of Hint of Lime chips by themselves in Japan.:)
ReplyDeleteMy tomato plants have produced nothing! :-) But I have some awesome cucumbers. I met Jack Black in the Austin airport a few years ago. He was there meeting with Matthew M and Richard Linklater...I'm assuming they were meeting about the movie that judt came out, Bernie. He was super nice and it turns out we have kids that are about the same age. I got a very crappy, blurry pic with my POS cell phone.
ReplyDeleteYay for tomatoes! I love your randoms!

ReplyDeleteThat iPhone in the bowl trick has changed my life! For real.
