12 on the 12th--March Edition

I realize my main purpose for blogging is for me and my family, but it sure is nice when people comment so I know who's out there.

{click to enlarge}

  1. We have almost no counter space in our sad, little bathroom...no it doesn't drive me crazy at all!
  2. Family scripture reading, we're in Mosiah 29.
  3. Randy packs lunches for the 3 of us each morning and always labels Whitney's lunch "Harry" since she's so smitten with Harry from One Direction.
  4. My desk at work, I enjoy using the walkie-talkie.
  5. Amie texted me with a last-minute lunch invitation, woohoo!
  6. I left work at 2:30 to check Whitney out from school early for her hair appointment but stopped for hot fudge sundaes for the principal and office lady at the elementary school (the other secretary leaves at 2:00).
  7. While Whitney was at her hair appointment I did some shopping at Wal-Mart and bought a new bottle of $8 foundation to replace the one that broke the day before after falling off our tiny bathroom counter! @#$!
  8. Whitney's newly cut and colored hair!
  9. I did an impromptu clean out of one of the bins in our hall closet because I couldn't find something.
  10. I went to the RS Birthday dinner at the church, but left abruptly after I finished eating because the jazz music they were playing in the background almost killed me.
  11. The kids helping fold and hang laundry (they were obviously thrilled I was taking a photo).
  12. The new book I started reading that night.

I'm still out here enjoying your posts!

More bathroom counter space just means more to clean. In my next life I will have a pedestal sink.

Holly said...

We have pedestal sinks so I feel your pain. I keep my makeup in a basket in our closet and tote it back and forth.

I enjoyed that book! Are you liking it so far?

I'm reading some historical fiction by Michelle Moran--I think you've read her before--and am liking them. Her latest is The Second Empress about Napoleon's second wife.

I still read your posts--(waves)--just usually in Google Reader and always say I'll go back and comment and then I don't--SORRY!!

Elevator jazz would have been the death of me too.

I miss doing the 12/12 this year but just haven't been into it.

I like that you bring treats to the office staff, it's something I need to do more of.

I'm dying that you left the dinner bc of jazz music.

Ooh, i am not a fan of walkie talkies. We have radio checks every Friday before the sun rises, which is the worst! They are a must when we're overseas, but when my husband retires, I will not be sad if I never see one ever again!

I'm with Holly! I've got a dinky pedestal sink. I don't know how I've functioned for all these years! We should form some sort of sink commiserating club.
I'm laughing about the fact that you "left abruptly" at your RS dinner due to the music. I sooo hate jazz as well. It makes me fidgety and irritable. I can't even imagine hearing it in a cultural hall setting where the acoustics are lousy to begin with!

I've been reading your blog for a long time and feel like you & Michelle & I would be kindred spirits if we ever met in person! I ♥ reading your blog! Comments are the best! :)

So funny about being forced out by jazz music! What a bizarre choice for a RS event! These are always a fun glimpse of your day.

I've read your blog for a while now and I can't even remember how I found this blog :). I'm not a great commenter and can't remember if I've ever commented on this blog or not. I love that I can see a fun little post every day. You are so creative and I feel your kindness and love toward others and your family through your words. I'll try to comment more often.
