I can't even think of a title for this stuff

After all the busyness and semi-excitement of the last month or so, this last week has been virtually calm and well, boring. And while it's been nice to just be able to pause and take a breath, I've also noticed that, uhm, I got nothin' to blog about. Yes, me, the motor mouth of the family has nothing to say. My sister would keel over from shock if she knew.

So, you get some random thoughts. Aren't you lucky. :v)

-I whacked my head on a shelf yesterday and gave myself a little cut. I didn't think I could ever see stars so close up. And did you know styling your hair with a little goose egg and cut is really painful?

-in the spirit of the big shuffle that's been going on around here since Kay moved off to school we now shuffled Tia. Moreso, Tia's bed. With Jay going to the downstairs bedroom formerly occupied by aforementioned moved away daughter, he got the queen bed that went with that room. So Tia laid dibs on the loft bed with the attached desk that was in Jays room. So we had to break that down and reassemble it in Tia's room and then move her bed in Jay's old room which is now Kay's room when she comes home to visit. You got that? I didn't lose you did I? 'Cause reading that back, MY head is spinning. But that could be from the shelf incident too. Anyway we did the whole job with nary an injury to any human beings, except the loft bed required a visit to the welding doctor after we removed a part and the desk end fell forward and snapped a bar that attached one end to the other. Who knew that was an important peice? Sheesh.

-Here's a picture of the Golden Rice of which I posted the recipe here, 2 days ago, that I forgot to put up and which I found on my camera today.

-The big color debate for my bedroom is on with the hubby. We haven't painted in about 12 years in there and it's needing it badly. Hubby likes the color it is, which is a really nice mossy green, and although I love the color after 12 years of it, I'm a bit ready for a change. Something more on the neutral side so I can do the bedding in whatever strikes my fancy (and budget) at the time. You got any suggestions?

-We're having pajama day in dayhome tomorrow and I'm thinking how I'm going to pull off making waffles for lunch with 7 little ones here. It's funny, the parents are saying the kids are more excited about getting to wear pajamas here than about their halloween costumes at night. The big discussion at the lunch table yesterday was what pajamas each of them was going to wear.

-hmmm, uhm, let's see, uhm, I got new towels last week. The color is called "cornstalk" and it's sort of a really nice browny taupey with hints of mellowed goldy kind of color. Can't you just see it?

-I need to get to the store where they have little table top prelit Christmas trees on for ten bucks. I want to send one to Kay as a surprise. She's the one who loves Christmas decorating and would decorate in November if I let her. Because of her we always had the tree and decorations up the first weekend in the December.

-I bought 3 white pumpkins this week to put on my front porch in my planter. Here's a pic of them. Now this is where you come in. Got any ideas how to decorate this up a bit so it looks like I did more than throw 3 pumpkins into my planter?

Are ya still here? Isn't my life utterly thrilling? If you stuck with me through that you are a very special person, indeed!
