- I've been thinking about how I complained a bit when hubby signed us up to receive the paper every day, since the Washington Post was offering us free weekdays if we just continued to pay for the Sunday paper that we were already getting. Ugh- more paper just to throw away, I thought. But guess what? I've actually been reading the paper, at least a little bit, every day. When Red doesn't have a major bedtime issue and is able to watch a show (or two) in the morning, I eat breakfast with the paper, and I've decided that's just lovely. Today's pick of the day- Eugene Robinson's op-ed about John Edwards. Well said, Mr. Robinson, well said.
- I've been thinking that the kids watch too much tv. There I've said it. I need to turn off the tv after one show (not two) and play with the kids. Simple as that.
- I've been thinking that this photo as my desktop makes me grin.
- I've been thinking that I need to refocus on my call to experience more gratitude, and I was thrilled to see this on another blog- The Gratitude Challenge. I'm going to check into that for sure!
- I've been thinking that I miss my parents. I wish our lives were different in some ways (bigger house, less $$ worries, a bit more SERENITY NOW! going on), but the biggest is that I wish they lived closer and could see the three whack-jobs-we-call-kids on a regular basis.
- I've been thinking that a certain someone we love is going to turn 17 in a couple days, and I wish we could have her as a bigger part of our lives, as well.
- I've been thinking that it will be a great joy to see a certain hottie doc on tv every week again. Yum.
- I've been thinking that $8.50 is an awesome price for a bottle of my favorite-wine-that-we-can-afford.
- I've been thinking that I need to learn to be a better writer, especially as I start on a new adventure as a contributor to the DC Metro Moms site-- a collaborative blog with AMAZING writers who all have incredibly polished and humorous voices that convey themselves much more professionally than I am accustomed to writing over here on my silly little blog. I gotta up my game and push out some quality stuff. I feel so very fortunate to be welcomed into the group!
- I've been thinking that even though I try to read a little of the paper each day, along with reading Time each week and mainlining NPR on a daily basis, I still don't understand world politics. I tend to see things WAY too black and white, and I'm honestly just too tired with my own regular life to try to figure it out.
- I've been thinking that when the bnl project comes to an end next week, I have an already established feature that can jump into the Wednesday spotlight. Good god, even on my blog, I have to have order and predictability.
- I've been thinking that I'm pretty lucky to have an amazing TP-monikered-hubby who is actually interested in what I've been thinking. Life is good.
Taking off my thinking cap now (and pouring myself another glass of wine!),
