Something I re-learned yesterday: Turning the computer off at night means I'm productive the next morning! 4 loads of laundry, clean kitchen and living room, 2 loads of dishes. I was almost scared to turn on the computer when I was done with it all because I knew nothing else would get done!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have two new loves. One is fruit. I canNOT get enough of it! I've always loved fruit, just didn't buy a lot because I would forget about it and it would go bad. But now, I run out of it! Currently we have plums, grapes and apples that I munch on throughout the day. Yay for fruit!
My 2nd new love is one that I know many of you share with me. PROJECT RUNWAY. It's on Lifetime now, which means I can watch it! I watched last night's All Star Challenge, where finalists from the previous seasons came back and competed for $100,000 towards their business. I think the judges picked the right finalists, though I personally wouldn't have picked the winner they did. (I guess I'll be vague since there are probably some of you who haven't watched it on your DVRs yet.) But I was still pleased with the results and excited for the new season, which premiered directly afterward.
LOVED IT!!!!! I think they sent the right person home. Little too quirky for mainstream fashion, or even out-there fashion. I was glad that the other person in the bottom two didn't leave -- I think he deserved to stay and was simply really unlucky that week.
Does anyone know if they'll rebroadcast it throughout the week? It'd be nice if I didn't have to stay up till midnight every time a new episode airs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had another crazy dream last night. I'll spare you all the details, but the gist of it was that Joel McHale was secretly married to Kristina P.!!! And if you know Kristina, you know that's probably a dream of hers, too!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This up-coming school year is the last one I'll have with none of my kids attending school. For various reasons, I've decided not to send Spiderman to a pre-school this year. Instead, we'll just do some workbooks at home. I'm kind of looking forward to it! I hope to make a schedule and stick to it. I'm not a planner/organizer person like that, but I hope to adopt a little bit of that into my personality. I want to have specific hours each morning where I work with both boys for a time, then do art projects of some kind -- probably just play-doh or watercolors. We'll go to the library a few times a week for storytime activities, and possibly make the Bean Museum at BYU a regular activity, too. It's nice that my kids are finally old enough to go places like that and enjoy them. As compared to them running rampant through the place and me chasing them. Yes, I'm VERY glad that they've reached this stage.

Okay. I think that's everything that's floating around in my head today. Have a maaaahhhhvelous weekend, dahling! And 10 random tunes for ya:

Good luck with doing the workbooks and stuff at home. I hope you all love it! The kids are only young once, right?
I got your email about your dream, and loved it! I don't think my husband would love it, but that's awesome.
I am literally watching the elimination on PR right now! Love it!
How fun! You played! Come sign the linky!
I totally agree about turning the computer off at night! If I get on first thing in the morning, I have lost my entire day.
THANK YOU for not spoiling Project Runway for me! I have not had a chance to watch it. I love that show and my mom wants to watch it with me so I have to wait. I also did my blog today on random crap too.
I'm totally craving fruit all the time, too! At least it's a healthy thing to crave, right? :)
PR is one of my "secret" indulgences. I haven't watched lately, so I may have to go searching the line-up for the new season. So funny!!!!!
Too bad I can't turn off my computer...I'm on all day for work. Luckily I sneak in blogging and FB time! :) Only on my breaks! Pinky swear!
1. Go to the farmers market. The fruit is better and usually cheaper. I'm kind of obsessed with it right now.
2. Go to the dollar store for art supplies. You'd be amazed how creative kids can get with stuff. That is one area I don't feel bad for spending money.
I loved loved loved fruit when I was pregnant with Piper. I ate grapes ALL DAY LONG. And I don't really like grapes. I bet you are having a little Alyssa!!!!
Ha ha ha..... I love the dream, and I knew Kristina would, too. I hope I get to meet you both in REAL LIFE someday. :)
I think I am going to give that a try, turning the computer off at night.
That dream sounds really funny!
I definitely need to start turning the computer off at night.
I have also found it makes a HUGE difference in my life if I shut off the computer and go to bed on time. It's hard though- the house is quiet and no one is going to bug me. It's 'my time'. Still, I feel better, work harder, eat better and enjoy life during the day MORE when I'm well rested. The hubs prefers it when I go to bed with him too rather than coming in later. Blush.
You can totally teach your son at home. Part of what they learn in Pre-school is how to have a schedule so making one and sticking to it is part of the curriculum. You can do it!
I craved fruit all the time with both of my pregnancies, and they were both GIRLS! Not to get your hopes up or anything. . . :) I love Project Runway too! So glad it's back!
I {heart} fruit too...I couldn't survive this diet without it.
Great playlist this week...I heard that Kris Allen will be singing Heartless tonite at the AI concert...I am SO excited!
Some of my friends get together for a MNO and watch Project Runway. One of these nights I've got to join them...
ww :) I'm not sending the builder to pre-k this year either, and getting more excited about it the closer I get to september. I'm worried about the schedule thing too, so I'm working on a details of the two mornings we do school at home, friday morning we have music together, and wednesday we'll go on a fieldtrip together...btw, we're going to the bean museum again this wednesday if you and the boys want to meet up! luvs, trina
Love your Friday Randomness!! I just love your blog in general -That's why I have a blog award for you to pick up at my blog!!
BTW -I CRAVED fruit when I was pregnant with my son -I really loved eating chocolate covered blueberries-Sounds kinda gross now but soo good then. Oh and I'd loved to know about your dream with Joel McHale -I love him on the soup! =D
Well guess I'll stop rambling for now. TTFN
Fruit is yummy. Why don't vegetables taste that good? So now your boys are old enough to go out and have fun, and you're just having another one? What kind of logic is that? (Coming from someone who kept having kids and hasn't EVER hit that stage without having another screaming/crawling/running baby to deal with - yeah, like I know what I'm talking about.)
