tweet tweet

So I have a twitter account... I also have a facebook account and do the status updates... It seems a little redundant. But the thing is, I have many many random thoughts that don't end up in either one. So in case you didn't have enough crazy today, here is a glimpse into my mind.


  • I went to the grocery store at 10:30 tonight. Who does that? People who would rather stay up really late than take kids to the grocery store.
  • I spent twice my grocery budget for the week... Derrick doesn't know yet. I'll let you know how it goes.
  • I also can't believe I spent that much on my hair.
  • Derrick's parents are flying in right now! I'm excited.
  • I got pretty lucky in the in-law department. They are pretty awesome people.
  • Matter of fact, I got pretty lucky in the parent department in general. (If you knew me very well in high school you may be surprised to hear me say this. hehe)
  • Does the period go before or after the parenthesis? My freshman English teacher would be rolling over in her grave right now, except that she's alive still. Probably.
  • Today I saw a tornado in the sky while I was driving. I almost had a heart attack. And then I realized it was just a smoke stack from the corn plant, and the smoke was blending into the clouds. I felt silly, considering there were no tornado sirens going off, and no one else was seeming to panic like I was.
  • I got to bag my own groceries tonight, and I thought it was fun. Maybe it's the OCD in me that likes to have them done right. Funny now, considering how bad I hated working as a grocery bagger.
  • I took Halle to an appointment last week, and it was the WORST doctor ever. I'm still fuming about how I'm going to have to pay here, even though I ended up taking her to another doctor. I have bad luck with pediatricians.
  • We have borrowed 8 videos from the library, and 7 of them were too scratched to watch. The other one has scratches, but you just have to fast forward through parts. Annoying.
  • Today a boy cut my hair. I've never had that happen before. It was.. weird. But yet, not.
  • Do not throw your cigarette butts out the window because it freaks me out when fire is flying at me.
  • It feels really weird to write another normal post after my last one. Isn't it weird that life just has to go on? I don't know what else to do.
  • After we were moved in for two weeks, we kind of just stopped working on our house projects. I just want to get it done. It's probably going to get finished when we try to sell. That's my guess.
  • This probably really boring for you. I'm sorry.
  • Halle is standing up on her own now. I'm sure she will be walking by Christmas.
  • I really don't care about sports and I wish people would stop talking about them. Except Derrick, because he actually explains it so I can understand. And when Purdue wins, we get free Chick-Fil-A.
  • I hate cats. There, I said it. Do you think I'm mean? Oh well.
  • Halle has some really cute cat pajamas on tonight. Oh, the irony.
  • It's midnight, so that means I'm hungry.
  • It's a really hard day when you're two years old, and you left your football in the car. You must throw a tantrum until your mom gets embarrassed/feels bad/thinks it's funny how obsessed you are about footballs and goes back to the car to get it, even though she's late.
  • When you're 10 months old and you're getting lots of teeth in, the best way to get them to feel better is to bite your mom's arm over and over and over. Apparently. And then get the saddest face ever and cry when she yells. "OW!" Then she'll give you anything you want.

Laura said...

I also spent twice my budget on groceries (and some other stuff...) and was afraid to tell Chris. I always get hungry when I stay up late. And I hate cats, too. We should be friends.

I like hearing other people's thoughts, I think everyone thinks they are weird for thinking things, but lots of people think those things! I'm sorry to hear about your cousin, I hope you are doing okay!

Johnson Family said...

Your thoughts are so funny!!! I laughed so hard at some of them, like the tornado and flying fire. It made my day just to read what you were thinking.

Jean said...

I read your blog this morning and it gave me quite a chuckle. I read it again tonight and it's still so funny. You are amazing at writing out your thought and feelings. I told you that you should be a writer...

Kelsey Fairbanks said...

I have a twitter, too. I seem dumb when I log in to check out stuff and to update because I can never think of anything clever to update it to. And think you are just so funny. I laughed out loud reading this. And I hate cats, too.

Ashley said...

I like it. :)
Also, the period goes inside the paranthesis and I too hate cats. :)

Jared and Delia said...

Ha ha! You are so funny...and at this moment I miss you so very much Erin!

Yay for free chick-fil-a...yeah...I am not a big sports fan either but I will cheer for purdue for that one!

Rebecca said...

I hate cats too!!!! Hate, hate, haaaate them!

Rebecca said...

And I'm totally gonna do a post like this right now. I've been needing to blog, and have a lot to blog about...but they all include pictures and my laptop with all the pictures is currently broken! Thanks for the idea :)

Ruby in the Rough said...

Great thoughts! :)

I'll explain the parenthesis thing. If the thought within the parenthesis is complete and separate, then it deverves its own period. If it is with a sentence, supplementing it, then it doesn't need a period.

I'll try to give some examples:

I hate doing dishes. (Jay hates them, too.)

I really like vacuuming (when I feel like it).

Okay, I hope that makes sense. Maybe it doesn't. Sorry for the unwarranted advice!

Thanks Ash and Jeri for explaining! Makes sense.
