Things I've done to procrastinate today...

As I get closer and closer to graduating, I also get closer and closer to having to hand in and defend my thesis.  Sometimes it feels overwhelming but it's actually funny because having this work to do has actually encouraged me to do other things...so here's my list of things I've done today instead of get hit the lit. review section hard...

1. Cleaned Van's room...which was actually a huge mess...he told me not to pick up the piles of books because it was actually a beaver dam and that if I ruined their dam, they would starve (he's 2)

2. Hot-glue gunned two dinosaur tails out of felt

3. Took the long, long way to and from the library

4. Facebook...biggest time waster of the day...bad Facebook

5. Write this blog entry

6. Eat home-made hotwings and enjoy a Longboard Lager

7. Searched Netflix

8.  Thought about cleaning up dog poo...would rather do the paper

9.  Looked for my missing bracelet

10.  Wrestled Van

11. Read to Van

12. Cuddled hubby

13.  Watched the snow fall

OK...I could go on and on but as I look at this list, I realize that everything else I did was much needed and that balance is key in a good life...this paper, although I still MUST DO IT, turned out secondary in importance for the good of my heart <3

Gets me moving...

Good morning....

On this windy, chilly Wyoming morning I am thinking of California...

Brilliant Quotes

"Look! It's a rockoon!" --excitement over seeing a brown rock, encircled with black stripes

We were driving down the road one day and a squirrel darted out in front of us. From the back seat we hear: "CHIPMONKEY! MOMMY, DADDY, CHIPMONKEY!!!"  Brett and I just looked at each other and laughed...how could you not. So...I'm not sure if Van thinks that squirrels and chipmunks are actually monkeys...makes sense I guess...they have long tails and hang out in trees.

At the library..."That's a orca...not a killer whale."  Well both really...I guess.

Walking downtown...sees Cowboys painted on the sidewalk and yells, "I found fossils!"

"No mommy! That's a pwotoceratops...not twiceratops!" --OK...if you say so...
