Random Tuesday Thoughts

Tuesday again, time to get all random with the Un-Mom...

randomtuesday

Anyone participate in Boobquake yesterday? I wore a tank top in support of the silly day (which isn't much different than most days for me or is it very revealing anyway, but immodesty is immodesty right?) although I didn't leave the house except for when I ran out to get eggs but even then, I threw on a sweatshirt before leaving because it was cold and windy outside. (If you're scratching your head and didn't happen to see this on any blogs or on Facebook, it's worth a click here for an explanation and here for the results.)

Spring is being stubborn.

Yesterday I chased 2 loads of CLEAN laundry across our gravel driveway after they escaped the grip of the many carefully placed clothespins on the clothesline. Once, the basket full of clean clothes even blew away from at my feet. Ridiculous wind! At least it's not coming from the direction of the pig farm across the road.Tomorrow Mae has appointment with her immunologist (just a check up) down at Children's Hospital. We decided to make a day of it and go to the Art Museum while we're in the city since I recently won 2 tickets from the local public radio station! Mae also wants to use the book store gift card she won last week. Gift cards and free tickets are even more fun to use when money is tight!

Money may be tight but I seriously needed a haircut, so I finally gave in today and went in for a trim. It's not much different than before, just past my shoulders and a few layers but cleaned up and not so "fried" looking. That's at least how the hair stylist described my hair pre-cut.

I'm getting better at taking photos of myself in the mirror. At least they are pretty much in focus. I have a friend who can get a perfect shot every time by holding the camera out in front of herself. It's a talent really.

That's it for me today. Be sure to stop by Keely's blog for the whole Random Tuesday line up.

Happy RTT!
I am no good at the self photographing. I have tried and it just never works. Wind sucks when it steals your clean laundry. Why doesn't it ever take the dirty stuff?

Damn! I saw it on FB, but didn't get around to clicking to find out what it was. Oh well...I do my part to contribute most days.

Your hair looks great. :) I like the photos. :)

Nice haircut and photos too.

Boobquake? WTF is that?

Out in Them Sticks said...

I saw Boobquake mentioned on the View. Should I openly admit that?

Great cut!

I read about boobquake, but I don't think enough people participated to make a difference. Of course, I live in Southern California, so I wouldn't have noticed any difference anyway.

The photo thing is a talent and I don't have it!
I hate it when I have to chase my laundry through my yard:)

Man, I thought I wrote a pretty good RTT yesterday and no comments? I even embarrassed myself with an old picture of me in a show choir. And no comments. LOL Maybe I don't want comments about that.

In case you missed it, here's my blog.

You are good at the self portrait! I have yet to master that...

Jenni said...

great do!

I'm not sure if my participation in Boobquake counts since I didn't leave the house that day. Was I the only one who thought it was hilarious that there actually WAS an earthquake?

Your hair looks great! I haven't had mine cut in a year. SOO fried.

And YES, you are good at the mirror shots! I don't have that talent, either. Then again, I have no talent for photography, mirror or not.

Which hair did you get cut? I can't tell, lol! :o)

Love free tickets and gift cards!! Makes the fun even funner.
