Omigosh, my internet connection is SO SLOW right now. It’s driving me crazy, and it’s wasting SO MUCH of my time. Not liking that.
I’m trying to get to bed at a reasonable hour, AND I have to watch So You Think You Can Dance this evening. So, this slow-internet thing simply WILL NOT DO.
But, anyway. It’s Thursday Thirteen time again! What should we do. Hmmm. Let me see….
Usually, I like to reflect on my day and see if any ideas come up for the list. But, so far, nothing that exciting or inspiring has happened for me today…. Check it:
1. Monkey made a poop in the gym toilet — TRAY exciting, but not exactly listworthy….
2. I’m convinced that Yo Gaba Gaba is trying to intoxicate my kids…. Monkey’s sitting here pretty-much SLOSHED on this dang show….

3. Rascal is crawling all over the place and saying “deut deut deut”…. AND, he’s sprouted two teeth (FINALLY!).
4. Anyone want a magic thumb? I have one here…. MAGIC!!!!

5. For lunch I had my fave veggie wrap, which is basically a bunch of raw vegetables wrapped in a thin whole-wheat pita with some tahini-type spread on it…. Mmmmm…. It’s amazing how raw veggies can make you feel ALIVE. I swear, it’s my new discovery. I think the concept of “intuitive eating” is FINALLY kicking in for me. Hallelujah! So, blah to the Soy Chai Latte, and LAHHHHH to the fresh veggie wrap…! Heh…. Here I go again. Anyway, this all isn’t listworthy, because, as Maggie Mason says, “Nobody Cares What I Had for Lunch”….
6. I’m getting a lot of yoga teaching gigs. I’m teaching a class of 30-40 students whom I DON’T KNOW next Tuesday. Do you have any idea how NERVE-RACKING that is?

7. I finally baked some cookies that were EDIBLE. (A little TOO EDIBLE, says the scale to the Cheaty)….
8. The slowness of this computer has SUCKED LIFE out of my day…. Sluuuuuuuurrrp! I really should not let it come to that. But, NOTHING means more to me than getting to bed early tonight!
9. My parents’ dog Olivia (she’s deaf) got to ride in the stroller next to Rascal today….

10. I rediscovered my basement today. The monkeys and I had quite the little blast in there — poker table and all — rediscovering old toys….

11. We bought flowers for it’sgrandma…. Monkey held them the whole way in the double stroller, while Rascal tried desperately to eat them….

12. I finally bought myself a Planner Pad. This thing’s supposed to work MIRACLES on us unorganized types, and it’s supposed to be FAB for goal setting, which I’m really into right now….
13. Monkey wore her fairy wings all day today. Even when she pooped at the gym….

I suppose fairy costume AND socks that DON’T MATCH (I begged, I pleaded!) is still better than this, though?

Love!
Oh well, I got nothing. Alas, no Thursday Thirteen this week. Sighhhh. But, I AM going to bed early tonight. The monkey, however, is sitting here repeating over and over again, “I got my own ball, Mama!” What do you want me to tell you, Monkey?!? Now, put that ball AND MY CAMERA away, and GO TO BED!

Clashing florals are really in right now. So I’m thinking the socks don’t HAVE to match.
Okay, that was fun. I wish I had a basement to rediscover.

Our internet went out yesterday afternoon for a while and I was amazed once it came back on at how much I got done around here! LOL!

So sorry you were unable to think of 13 things to write about. Better luck next week, eh?
I’m doing a giveaway on my TT — feel free to take a look.

She looks like a little mini me. Mini you. She is so adorable.
What is up with that picture? Is that really your thumb? I am so confused!

Your kids are soooo cute! Julia is just starting to crawl backwards, and still has no teeth!
Good luck with the yoga class!

thank you for making the seemingly mundane funny as heck! I sometimes feel my day is just like yours and I search for something to write about, but nothing does not seem interesting. You just changed my mind!

The monster’s cute! As for the Monkey, kids can get away with their own style trends. Adults… not so much.
Kick butt in yoga, my friend. Literally.

I actually AM very interested in what people have for lunch - it’s such an odd meal!
I had a slice of pizza at a restaurant, because my kids were pining for an outing. Just fyi.

Great list, my 33rd TT is up at 13 Muslim Greeting Cards - I noted the paucity of Islamic Greeting Cards at my local stationery store and so as a public service to Muslims in America, I offer the following 13 Shariah-Compliant Greeting Cards…

It sounds like you had a great day full of things to do!!! Funny how you think you did nothing until you sit down and write it out…kind of like you think you ate healthy all day until you sit down and write it out!!!

Sounds like quite a Thursday! I laughed at the pic of Olivia in the stroller. Ha! KC and I took the streetcar on Thursday and she was soooo good sitting next to me on the seat.
