I got nothin’ but randomness (is that a word?)

Posted on November 18, 2008

I have been sitting here for ten minutes trying to rack my brain for a profound post that will cause everyone to sit back and go, “Hmmm…”

But, I got nothing.

All I can thing of are updates, so here you go…let the randomness commence.  (Da ta da daaaaa)

• Chloe is still kicking butt with potty training.  She had an accident on Friday of last week, but hasn’t had one since, and she wore her “big girl panties” to school yesterday instead of a pull up and kept them dry ALL DAY!  She even tried really really hard last night to poop on the potty.  (with minor success, but I won’t go into details.)
• She still likes her school, she didn’t want to go yesterday when I told her it was a school day, but she is always happy when I drop her off and she is always smiling when I pick her up.
• The nerves have begun.  We fly to Denver on Saturday for a week, and even though I KNOW everything will be fine, I can’t get the queasy feeling out of my stomach.  John is even flying with me both ways this time, so I really have NOTHING to worry about.  And yet, I worry.
• That being said, I can’t wait to go back to Denver.  I really miss everyone and I can’t wait to see you!
• My sister bought a house!  She and Jeremy (aka: Wormy) closed on Friday.
• My brother accepted an offer on his house, so if all goes well he will be homeless soon.  A fact that he is extremely happy about.
• I’m going Karaoke tomorrow with some of the ladies from my Mom’s club.  I’m a little more excited about this than I should be.  I LOVE to sing, but I wouldn’t say I am very good.  I just hope the DJ has my repertoire, or things will get ugly.
• Ellen, Annette and I (all Colorado transplants) are making a pilgrimage to Chipolte today.  We still can’t find decent Mexican food out here, and we are suffering from withdrawal.  Its an half hour to fourty five minute drive, but it is WORTH IT, DAMMIT!
• I hope John doesn’t mind me telling you this, but he layed down his bike.  For those of you who aren’t into motorcycles, that means he lost control when he was accelerating out of a turn and tipped his motorcylce on to its side.  He’s fine, a bit bruised and banged up, but otherwise fine.  His bike, on the other hand, is damaged.  He’s going to have to do some repairs before he can ride again, which considering its starting to get really cold here is pretty good timing.
• Our plans for New Years in Italy are coming along swimmingly.  We have now filled the Villa with:  Robert and Becky, Karsten and Sonja, Devon and Monica, James, John, Chloe and I.  We anticipate that Chloe will do swimmingly, as she has proven herself to be an excellent tourist.
• Chloe’s new favorite movie is “Sleeping Beauty.”  She especially loves the end of the movie when Princess Aurora and King Phillip are dancing.  Either John or I have to dance with her, and she calls out the color of the dress and attempts to sing along with the song.  (Kind of like this:  “I saw you, na na na BLUE! a dream na na PINK! na eyes na na BLUE!.”)  Oh, and she calls the fairies, “Berries.”

Okay, I’m done.  Thanks for caring enough to make it to the end!
