a little random

Silence of a different kind echoed in my house last night. I was finished with my "mum duties" for the long weekend as of 815 last night and as I drove home I had to remind myself that I was not in fact responsible for anyone but myself as I drove. However, as I came into my place I realized that I may not be responsible for any young children but I still am in some strange way responsible for my baby brother, yes the same baby brother that turns 21 is 50 or so days.

On that countdown dealio my mum wasn't too keen on the days being counted, nor the reference to turning half a century old. I was speaking with two other older ladies today who also expressed similar sentiments as my mum to the half a century old phrasing, but I don't mean any disrespect by it. In fact I see it as a phrase of honor. I mean they have lived half a century, that is a big accomplishment and worthwhile being celebrated and honored!

In other news a Strawberry filled donut is healthy, right? Tuesdays often finds me in Safeway and often finds me lurking by the donuts, and eyeing them with the taste already on my tongue. So as per Tuesday custom I get one, and save it as my reward for going KB. The donuts from Safeway are a lot tastier than the former Albertsons's, but what got my hooked on Safeway donuts was the first one I had that had a secondary level of donut pastry in the middle, but I haven't had one like that since. But milk and donut a great way to replenish all those nutrients, etc I used up working out. I was just about to type exercising, but then realized that working out sounds more adult like, why is that???

Guess what my little girl starts preschool tomorrow. I've tried not to think about it too much. I am a little saddened. I am going to miss her a lot. I am looking forward to having the one on one with the baby, but Marissa and I have spent our days together for three years, and well I am going to miss her :( I'll let you know how it goes. Supposedly the mum, and the grandparents are all coming too to drop her off. Aiy aiy aiy!!!

I have a good blog ruminating in my mind, I'll get around to writing it up in a day or two.

Oh, I got my hair cut today -- I need to publish a blog post with pictures -- my new hair cut, and I still need to post pictures off my battered hands.

And I finished "Catch 22" - it didn't necessarily take that long, about a week, but longer that it takes me when I read a book less complicated. Partly because it wasn't the style of book that I devour in one sitting. Now I need another book. Still can't get into the Dean Koontz book. I have a Jane Austen biography I'll probably read. I need to pull out another "classic" and read one of those. Also need to finish the Barak Obama book.

But right now I think that is enough random for one night, I need some shut eye. And my battery on my computer is getting low, and the cord doesn't want to connect for me!!!
