Hello, Random Tuesday Thoughts, How Ya Been?

blogging, random thoughts

I haven’t written Random Tuesday Thoughts for a while…is it like riding a bike? Can I hop back on the RTT bandwagon? Hmmm…

I had a most delicious, greasy patty melt with the best grilled onions for dinner, followed by a ton of fries. Now I want a big ol’ bowl of vanilla ice cream. I really shouldn’t…. C’mon, I ate that patty melt hours ago!

A way to reduce stress is to have a clutter-free house. It’s supposed to be good to have clutter-free spaces to rest your eyes. I would love to have a clutter-free house; clutter is annoying. But trying to clear the clutter is stressing me out! What good is that?

I am going through book withdrawal right now. I usually have a book on my nightstand, waiting for me to pick it up at bedtime. Right now, there is no book waiting for me. So sad! The last book I read was The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer. When I first opened it, I realize it was a book written in letter form. I thought, “Meh.” That type of book has never been my favorite. But I had nothing else to read, so I started it. It was a lovely, lovely book! A MUST READ! I am totally cheating by putting a plug in for a book, which I would normally save for a “book nook” post, but I haven’t had any book nooks for a while, either.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book!

Speaking of books, Kimberly Zook of Zook’s Book Nook has launched a new blog and literary e-Zine called The Motherhood Muse. Kimberly writes on the new blog:

“The Motherhood Muse is a community for mothers and writers. My name is Kimberly Zook, and I am the creator of The Motherhood Muse. I’m a mother and a writer wishing to connect with mothers and writers who are journeying through motherhood and wishing to draw nature into their lives.”

Kim is a wonderful writer, and I’m excited about her new ventures. I hope you go read more about what she has to say!

RandomTuesday Thoughts: Squashed Bugs

I hate finding a dead, squashed, dried-out bug in my library book. Ew. But I’m just too cheap to go buy clean, unused books at the bookstore. I also don’t want my collection of books to get any bigger. I have a basement full of books; I don’t need any more. Until I marry a doctor and can buy a huge house in the country with a room dedicated to books. Oh, wait, I’m already married. And not to a doctor. **sigh** (Love you, honey!)

I had a great weekend at a house in the country, (see yesterday’s post) but my butt is itchy. Something (a spider?) crawled down my pants and bit me. Double ew. I think it was while we were sitting out by the campfire. I wonder: I never saw the spider, so did it escape after it bit me? I’m amazed my big, fat…um, you know…didn’t squash the thing that bit me.

I really need to clean out the pantry and throw out the cereal that’s been open for 8 months that no one has eaten. I resolved to eat that shredded wheat in January, but it’s still in there, after I ate only one biscuit. In January.

Keely’s back from vacation! Or rather, her holiday is over! The rest of us are happy to have her back, but she’d rather still be gone. I always think of Christmas when I see the word “holiday.” How American of me! Go see her over at The Un-Mom!
