Anybody else out there getting a PLETHORA of spam comments???

Um, seriously….it’s kinda outta control. And I’m kinda getting annoyed.

How do I make this craziness stop?

In other news….I’m just about to head out to get my roots attended to.

Oh, and as long as I get permission from my hair girl, I’ll be getting bangs.

{Tired of hearing about that? I am.}

Hopefully I won’t leave crying.

If I do, I’ll just come home and watch The Office again, because this weeks episode was awesome.

That’s it.

Just some random Saturday thoughts.

Oh, and did you see Chic Shoppers website??? If not, go check it out, and make sure to follow!

Please.

P.S. My birthday countdown is ON! 31 in a week an a half, aw ya!

Either way….I was so not that mature!

I’m feeling a little blue since my sisters left….I just can’t help but feel a tad lonely without my them.

But, rather than mope…I’m gonna try to stay focused on the little things that make me happy.

Those minute moments that make me smile…

It’s been awhile since I just sat down to write.

To just write and not think beforehand.

To not wonder first if people will listen. If they will get it. If they care.

I always think first.

At least now I do.

Sometimes after many many mistakes, people tend to swing really far in the other direction.

I must have done that.

But it’s my safety. It will keep me safe. At least that’s what I tell myself.

And yet, there is always this gnawing feeling that tells me to just sit.

Get rid of the noise. Light some candles. And just. be. silent.

That slight ache in my heart, soul, mind….wherever it may be at any moment in time….it continually beckons me to stop.

Stop thinking.

And just be.

Breathe.

Listen.

It’s in these moments…that I hear Him.

That He can speak to me.

And my wall crumbles….

so tonight, I hear You.

The thoughts of my mind are still, and instead my heart is open…

***still taking care of my sick baby, so the hilarious post I had hoped for isn’t up to par, but still….I didn’t want to leave you hanging about my sisters luck….***

I have a sister who things happen to. Always. The things just always happen to her. And I have to say, I kinda love it. Because all of those things make me laugh over and over years and years later.

{note she’s wearing a statement ring….the girls got good fashion taste!}

Like the time she was running through a two story mall, on the ground floor, when her shoe flew off sending her to catapult forward and fall flat on her face. As she lay there, she put up her hands to shoo the crowd and called out, “It’s alright, I’m okay…I’m okay.” Yet when she looked up, nobody had stopped long enough to see if she actually was okay. Not to mention people were walking by kicking her shoe this way and that.

Did I mention it was a HUGE mall on a busy Saturday?

Or the time she was running down the hill to greet her friends at a bonfire, yelling, “I’m here, I’m here!”….and then proceeded to slide down the hill on her bootie.

I’m laughing even as I type this. The vision of it all…OMG, makes me LOL!

But the following story is seriously the craziest so far….and what’s crazy is that of course it would happen to her.

I’m telling you….things just happen. To her.

So, Heather and her best friend have a staging business where they go into homes for sale, and redecorate them so that they are able to sell better and hopefully more quickly.

On this particular job in this story, they landed a model home where they got to work with a blank slate. So, needless to say, they were very excited.

As they were finishing up the job, it was about midnight. And when they got to the car and started to hook up the trailer, they realized that the lights weren’t working on it and they couldn’t drive on the road without lights.

So after banging and kicking and laughing and I’m sure some cussing, they decided to head to the grocery store to buy some locks so they could just leave it and get it in the morning.

Only when they got to the store, the only thing available were the combo locks we used in High School. But, I guess in the middle of the night, it seemed like a good idea. So they bought two.

I had big plans for todays post….

I was going to link up for Writers Workshop with this hilariously true story that happened to my sister….and then pretend it actually happened to me…And it was gonna be SO FUNNY! Seriously, you were going to laugh really hard.

Maybe even pee a little.

And then, Chloe got sick. Or rather, she’s been sick, but she chooses 10pm at night to really let us know how she feels about it. Last night….and then again tonight.

So, that’s been fun and heartbreaking all at once.

Needless to say, it’s kinda hard to be funny let alone finish a make you pee in your pants post when you are up holding a crying baby every five minutes.

In fact….

I’ll just show you a snapshot of my night, because I’m a blogger (I say it loud and proud) and I take pictures when my baby is sick.

Don’t judge. I do it for you!

{Always for you.}
