Totally Random Thoughts

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son on May 10, 2010

I’m much too unorganized today to come up with a well thought out Top Ten List. Instead, here are some thoughts bouncing around my brain.

  1. Did you know that we got snow this weekend. Yes, SNOW. In May. It was like over an inch. Sure, it melted the next day, but STILL. It’s May.
  2. Watch out, shameless self promotion: I have a new blog carnival starting THIS THURSDAY. The Thank You Journal. I hope you’ll link up.
  3. I’m participating in Five for Ten this year, over at Momalom. I lov this post by Motherese, talking about random acts of courage.
  4. I like chocolate, in case you hadn’t already figured that out. My fave chocolate in the entire world comes from Seattle, Theo Chocolate. And I can’t get it here. That makes me enormously sad. Although, I did just find out that a store near my in-laws carries it. Thinking I need to make a trip soon. Very soon.
  5. I love Mother’s Day, but have a hard time asking for what I want need. I think that next year, I’m going to take a cue from Mama Kat. Although my Mother’s Day ended up being pretty close to this. Plus chocolate.
  6. I’m thinking about sharing my infertility story. But I’m scared. It’s SO personal and it’s an on going battle. What do you think?
  7. I miss strappy summer sandles. But somehow they just don’t go together with a 2 year boy, doing what 2 year old boys do best. Running.
  8. The kiddo had the stomach flu this weekend. We only got 4 hours of sleep Friday night. Plus we had the church directory photos on Saturday. Me + 4 hours of sleep = bags under my eyes. This should be a FANTASTIC photo.
  9. Let’s see, did I mention my new blog carnival? I don’t oh, well, here it is: Thank You Journal. I hope you’ll link up.
  10. That’s everything on my mind. What’s been bouncing through your mind lately?

I would need A LOT of chocolate to deal with snow in May. Even if it did melt 24 hours later.

@ck, Sadly the weather has been so cold since then that there are still a few piles of snow left.

Snow? For real!! And can totally relate to the shoes w/toddlers. I have so many wonderful pairs that have collected dust for 4 years:(

And I love random by the way!

@mandi@itscome2this, Yeah, it was so sad. All of the flowers and trees were bending and breaking because it was so heavy.

I love random posts! But I have to admit the whole best-chocolate-ever is stuck in my head.

@corinne, I don’t even do flip flops, I’m afraid they will fall off and trip me when I’m running after the kiddo. How do you keep them on your feet?

Thanks for including my post in this list, Allison. I hope you liked it more than snow in May and the stomach bug. (I totally understand that it probably wasn’t as good as chocolate!) :)

@Kristen @ Motherese, Chocolate really is hard to beat isn’t it? Your post came in at a close second though. :-)
