Random Stuff on New Years Eve

I love my daughter, she says the funniest things.

Skadi: "Is it today mom?"

Me: "Yes."

Skadi: "YAY! I am so glad it is today!"

----------

I am drinking my last pumpkin spice latte of 2010.

----------

I bought that remote control helicopter mostly for Leif. I am just so thrilled I bought it for LEIF. I am getting very tired of being chased by it by my husband!

----------

53 weeks remaining of my 30's.

----------

One year ago today was the last day my kids saw my mom.

----------

We made lefse today. It is delicious. The last time I made lefse I made a huge batch and mailed half to my mom since it was about the only thing she was enjoying eating.

----------

I am looking forward to friends coming over for a game night tonight.

----------

I used to love downhill skiing. I didn't love it yesterday. It is awfully hard wrangling two young children on the ski slopes.

----------

But those little bitty things sailing down the slopes with ease are so freaking cute.

----------

My legs hurt. It is probably good that I didn't ski more than a few runs.

----------

Pumpkin spice lattes are very, very yummy and it is very, very cruel that they are only available for a few months a year.

----------

My jeans are feeling a bit tight after all the food over the past few weeks. Maybe it is good pumpkin spice lattes are only available three months a year.

----------

There's that stupid RC helicopter again.

----------

I wonder how it would fly if a rotor were missing?

----------

Lemon meringue pies are a serious pain in the rear to make.

----------

I don't think I will ever master meringue. Like ever.

----------

Chain restaurants that sell meringue coated pies have some serious molecular gastronomy thing going on.

----------

Must remove rotor.

-----------

Speaking of molecular gastronomy, was Top Chef not on this week?

-----------

It's like a hummingbird. And I despise hummingbirds.

-----------

They scare me.

-----------

When I was a kid my grandpa sent me outside to stand next to a hummingbird, I willingly went. I was wearing a sundress. I was attacked. I was never the same.

-----------

Oh, THERE are the sleeves I bought for cds and dvds!

-----------

Must set up my new digital frame tomorrow. I am so excited to get one for my office!

-----------

Wonder how the twins are doing?

-----------

I need to boil down all those chicken and turkey carcasses for pot pies. Tomorrow. I will do it tomorrow.

-----------

The last two weeks have gone way too fast.

-----------

I remember when I was 13 and stayed up till midnight at my best friend's house in Casper. Right after midnight I called my mom to wish her a happy new years! She was sound asleep and so not happy with me.

-----------

I can totally understand my mom right now.

-----------

Wow, I must be really old to need a latte at 6pm to stay awake past 10:30pm.

-----------

I have no idea what to get AB for his birthday. Does the 3 night vacation skiing at Silver Mountain that weekend count?

-----------

Yep, I think I am going to put both kids in ski school when we go to Silver in 2 weeks and go back to the condo and read. The.entire.time.

-----------

How am I EVER going to put down The Girl Who Played With Fire and read The Alchemist for book club next Friday. (Sorry RAB.)

-----------

Love the fact that the RC helicopter has a short battery life. Silence. No hummingbird hovering over my head. (No husband standing around the corner laughing.)

-----------

Wow, that pumpkin spice latte went fast.

Great post!

And no worries - I had to make myself keep picking it up again, too!

If it wasn't my pick (perhaps I should read the ones I pick first?), I don't think I would have been as motivated to finish it either.
