Some Random Thoughts

I'm going to jump in on NaBloPoMo and attempt to post every day of the month of February.
I have a lot of ideas swirling around and many posts in drafts that I need to complete and post, so hopefully, I'll be successful!
Also, if you have any questions you'd like for me to answer, now would be a great time to ask them! Then I'll do a Q&A post one day this month.
Elayna is going to a friend's birthday party this weekend. So today she asked if we could go shopping for her friend's gift.
An excuse to go to Target? Works for me! Somehow I ended up buying far more than just that birthday gift. I've decided I should just direct deposit my paycheck straight to Target's account!


Are you watching The Bachelor this season? I am, and as usual I think he's crazy! I'm always surprised at who they keep vs. who they let go. And I'm very intrigued by the drama that will be going on next week! I don't watch every season but when I do, it's a guilty pleasure.

OK, that's enough brain dumping, at least until Friday Fragments! Happy Wednesday to you all.

When I grow up....

............I either want to be her:

{Catherine Zeta-Jones}

or her:

{Sofia Vergara}

Clearly there's a connection here. It's obvious that I have a "type". Brunettes, for one. I am a brunette and I think dark hair is beautiful.
But there's something about Latino women!
Sofia Vergara plays Gloria on Modern Family, one of my favorite shows, and her accent is to DIE for! Instead of "yes" she says "jes", instead of "you" she says "jou". It's awesome. I love her and want to be her!

Okay, not really, but if I had to trade bodies....it would be one of these two women hands.down.
And now I'm off to work on a dark tan and a fake accent.....

ETA: I wrote this post last week, and then on Sunday I was reading the Parade Magazine and was thrilled to see a feature article on Sofia Vergara! Now I know that not only is she beautiful, but she has a wonderful attitude. She's been through hard times, including the murder of her brother and a personal battle with thyroid cancer. But still she says, "It's a beautiful world." The article quotes her as saying “I’ve been through it all, so I don’t take life’s little dramas too seriously. I say, don’t sweat the small stuff, because there’s bigger stuff that can really make you sweat.” Now I not only admire her beauty, but her attitude as well!

So tell me about you...if you could trade bodies (and maybe accents?) with anyone out there......who would it be?

Weekend WrapUp - Whoooooo!

We had one of those uneventful but great weekends. It was our "no-kid" weekend.
We mostly did the usual routine of errands and shopping. On Saturday night, we watched scary movies and snuggled on the couch. (The Strangers - very scary & good. Wrong Turn 2 - gory & one of the worst movies I've ever seen.)
We also finally got a picture of our resident owl, who I'm pretty sure has a verrrry keen interest in my cats and small dogs!

He's pretty, but we don't trust him!
So when our dog Sasha was being naughty tonight, John said to her: "Sasha, if you don't behave, I'm going to let that owl in here and he's going to see how many licks it takes to get to the center of a SASHA!!' " and I freaking DIED laughing.


I love that man.

Hope y'all had a great weekend!
