got caught up in stuff and forgot about my blog. lol! have nothing specific to blog about … so here’s some random stuff for you.

• just got done dying my hair … which i’ve been meaning to do for about a month now. lol! i have used natural instincts for years and years … #22, cinnaberry has always been my color. usually my hair ends up a auburn brown … but occasionally it ends up more burgundy (because i usually leave it on for too long!). and i only have to do it every 2-3 months. i can always tell when it’s time … because my hair looks dull and my skin starts to look washed out. and today i decided it was definately time!
• about a week and a half ago we had a big storm come through this area. a few hours into the heavy rain and wind … we ended up having some water leaks by our window seat in the stairway. i was walking downstairs and this thing on the wall caught my eye. the water had been dripping down the wall … and i guess since there was a pretty good amount … it had piled up into this huge "drip". there was about a cup of water inside the "drip" … so as it got heavier it was just going farther down the wall. i took a safety cutter and sliced the thing open and all the water spilled out … and then i could just peel off these huge amounts of the wall from where all the water was. anyways … the house dudes came out the next day and sealed up some stuff on the outside of the house. and then today one of them came back and spent 3 hours fixing the wall and retexturing it. i was nice enough to offer to repaint myself … now i’m wondering if i can even get up that high by standing on the window seat?!?!
• remember when i had like 7 episodes of brothers & sisters to watch? i caught up on them a while back … but i’m proud to say i even watched the newest one … on the actual night it aired! lol! i know i’ve said this before … but this is such an excellent show! if you havn’t seen it … you have to check it out. and i know i told someone today (sara?) that i heard it wasn’t on next week … well, in finding the link above i see that there is a new episode next sunday. yay!
• sarah had softball tryouts this past saturday. we know one of the guys that is coaching from soccer … and joe told him he would help him coach. i’m not sure how that is going to work?!?! he umpires for high school baseball … in fact, he had his first meeting tonight. he’s gotten a pretty good reputation with the guy in charge … so he gets good games and lots of games. but if he starts getting picky about what nights he can do … he won’t get all that many. umpiring pays good money … and he enjoys it. but unfortunatley, softball is a ton of weeknights (one of my least favorite things about the sport). so we’ll see.
• alyssa has a dance at school on wednesday. a semi-formal winter dance. i think it’s just 6th grade. they had one a few months ago … but she missed it because they had the spelling bee at the same time. wednesday is early day … so the kids get out after lunch. so the dance is right after … middle of the day. so cute though … all her girlfriends are going and i’m sure they’ll have fun.
• ok … something is up with my eye. i’ve never had any eye things … never had pink eye. so i’m not sure what this is. but it’s been killing me all day … it’s a little swollen … it feels a lot swollen … and there’s this little bump thing … and i can see it out of the corner of my eye. hope it’s not contagious. my dad told me to try not to touch the kids … kind of hard to do with little ones. lol! but i’m trying super hard not to touch it. guess we’ll see what it looks like when i wake up!
• been scrapping all weekend … and i mean ALL weekend. got a big assignment done and i think it turned out good. i have everything cleaned up … and i’m ready to dig into the next project on my list! actually, i don’t have a list … it’s all in my head. i know, scary thought. lol!
• did you know i can get lost for hours just browsing through the "stats" page on my blog? i love checking out new blogs … and one way i find them is by linking through comments left on my blog. and then from that blog … i’ll click on links for other blogs … and then find even more links. next thing you know … i have no idea where i am or how i got there. lol! and sometimes i can see those of you that don’t leave comments. lol! so that gives me even more to check out!

i’ve seriously been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to think of some other random stuff … and my mind suddenly went blank. so i guess that’s it for now!
