- I am SO behind on the October photography challenge and, um, it’s almost the end of October. I guess I’m just going to have to get my butt in gear and do a couple round-up posts next week. The fact that I’m behind does not surprise me in the slightest. I am a world-class procrastinator.
- You guys heard me speak yesterday. (Also, I retract what I said about not having a way to address a group. As my lovely friend Darcie pointed out, apparently I say, “Hi, guys!”) I still think I was a little awkward, but you guys were sweet. I especially liked the comment about me sounding tougher than one of you expected. ROAR! However, after I looked at the stats from the post I kind of wanted to crawl under the table. There were…a lot of you. I never would have been able to talk in front of that many people had they been sitting in front of me. A public speaker I am not.
(Side note: I had to take a public speaking class in high school and do a speech on something we were obsessed with. I did mine on lip gloss [tangent: I used to have a THING for lip gloss. Like, couldn't go anywhere/do anything without applying some. It was weird.] and for a prop, I cleaned out my car before class and brought in a zip lock bag FILLED with glosses just from my car. I don’t know where I was going with this, but there you go. I also gave a speech on dance and quoted Madonna’s “Get Into the Groove”. Face —> Palm.)
- Owen is an official walker now, but I still don’t expect him to come walking into a room. Every time he rounds the corner doing that Franken-baby walk (hands in front, walking kind of with a side-to-side sway) I can’t help but laugh and think, whoa. Toddler. It’s super funny when he’s naked, though.
Not naked.
- Want to know how to annoy my husband? Leave these all over the house:
In my defense, I don’t do it on purpose. Half the time I don’t even know I’ve left them somewhere. Maybe one fell out when I was changing, or got tossed in a bag, or whatever. I swear, whenever I need a bobby pin I can never find one, yet he seems to come across them daily, then threaten to throw them away. I don’t think he’s made good on that threat, though. Yet…

My husband said he was throwing away the random Bobby pins all over the house, but when I calmly replied well that is fine I will just buy new ones and he quickly changed his story! But I agree I think they just keep up and walk on their own because I never remember leaving them out.

Ha, we are do similar. The bobby pins, the lipgloss, and probably our accents too! I’ve been wanting to do that vlog too. Ps, your little man is just precious!

I have a habit of taking out bobby pins and then they disappear – so I’m constantly buying new ones. I don’t know where they go!
Haven’t had a chance to listen to your dialect video yet, since my Flash player carked it, but I will soon! I might do it too.

I leave those pins everywhere and it drives my husband crazy – he has seriously reprimanded me over it more than once. Also really enjoyed your vlog!

I do the same thing, but not with bobby pins (I don’t know that I even own one, LOL) But I leave hair bands all over the house, and I can’t ever find them when I need them.
And is that a walkway at your new house? I LOVE those paver bricks, and keep trying to convince my hubby that we need that kind of walkway. BEAUTIFUL!!!
AND, I know what you mean about wanting to crawl under a table when you saw the stats from your vlog post….I participated in Laura’s day in the life last week, and was shocked and embarrassed at the number of hits on that post alone LOL. Embarrassed that so many people now know what I do on pretty much a daily basis and how boring I am LOL.
(Fun fact, my freshman year in collage, communications class, my speech was on gift wrapping a package….um, yeah. :/ LOL)

I leave bobby pins all over my house too and it drives my husband batty. Seriously, he throws them out when he finds them now because he’s just so annoyed. Oops

The bobby pin thing drives my husband crazy! He walked into the bedroom one time and caught me pulling a pin out and tossing it (I don’t do that often, I was just in the middle of something and there wasn’t anywhere close to set it!) and now he is CONVINCED that every bobby pin he finds is because I tossed it on the floor.
Sigh.
