Oh Summer, Milo has forgotten you.


.

Milo: Why do you even buy me short sleeve shirts if it's always too cold to wear them?

Me: Because they're for you to wear when it's not winter.
Milo: But it's always winter.

Yes Milo, I feel like that too.

problem: solved.

I don't know why, but I have a fascination for National Geographic. I guess I'm probably not the only one. I've thought about subscribing to it multiple times, thinking maybe it'd get my kids to have a fascination with it too, but I have an issue subscribing to magazines right now because I know I don't really have time to read them and I really, really, really don't like wasting paper (it's a weird quirk).

Then yesterday I went to DI, and guess what I found?! National Geographic magazines for $.25! Not only do I get to buy them cheap, I get to save trees and I only have to read them when I want.

And the best part is my kids seem to really like them.

Probably the most boring news ever, but I am excited.

I saw this on someone else's blog. I thought it was kinda cool. And besides, with Valentine's Day coming up - what better way to celebrate than think about myself over and over?

I am... short
I know... my house is messy
I want... to move
I wish... i already had the job i want
I had... a long day
I hate... mean people
I miss... my normal life
I fear... that i won't get a good internship, leading to a not good job
I feel... tired
I hear... indian jones on the tv downstairs
I smell... my nose
I crave... expensive restaurant meals
I search... for things online
I wonder... what my grades will be like when i graduate
I regret... mistakes
I love... being happy
I care... that my boys are taken care of
I always... want to be perfect
I am not... perfect
I believe... that i am blessed, although sometimes i don't know why
I could... be a blond
I dance... and never want to stop
I sing... loud to songs i know
I don't always... know the answers
I write... with a blue or black pen
I win... and i rub it in
I lose... my mind quite often
I never... want to be without my iphone
I never listen... to crappy music
I can usually be found... at school
I am scared of.... spiders
I need... sleep or i get grouchy
I am happy about... being in my advertising program

because my mind is drawn to crazy


.

I decided to start a new blog. I'm not going to stop posting on this one. But this semester I've started my advertising classes, and I've been getting into ads and finding creative stuff online. So instead of forcing all of you to look at the things I've found or the assignments I'm working on - I'll only force those of you who would like to be subjected to such torture and randomness.


If you'd like a small window to my madness, CLICK HERE. And I'd love to hear what you think about projects I'm working on - you can even leave it anonymous so I don't know who it is that hates my stuff.

oh boys

My boys always take their showers at night before bed. This usually means they go to bed with slightly wet hair, which in turn means that they wake up with incredibly crazy bed head.


So to help with this problem I have started drying their hair with a hairdryer - explaining that this will help them so it's easier to fix in the morning.

Tonight, since I was working on homework, Mason asked if they could use the hairdryer. I said yes. About 10 minutes later Mason comes out, but his hair still looks wet in certain places. Then he walks closer to me. He had slopped gel all over it. His reasoning? That way he wouldn't have to fix it at all in the morning - it's already all done.

Such a problem-solver, that kid.
