what's on my mind.

I feel like I have been avoiding my blog this month.  So far this month I've been keeping things low-key, so not much to write about. BUT today is 10-10-10 and I had to write something! I was going to do a 10 random things you may or may not know about me, or my top 10 favorites of something, 10 things I can not live without, but honestly my brain is no functioning today and I'm just staring at the computer screen wondering what to write.


How about 10 things on my mind right now.


1. Where are my car keys?! they've been missing for a week and I have no idea where they disappeared to. I've looked, everywhere..I'm ready to turn my house upside down. lucky I'm using the spare key, but that's the spare, and the only one. Now I'm paranoid in losing that key. Did I mention my library card, my favorite Australian key chain is on my keychain! grrr.


2. New book. I haven't had any new book reviews lately because I'm taking a long time to finish this book. Currently I'm reading Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss...all 670 pages. I'm almost done. So far I'm really enjoying the story. I don't know how else to describe it other than it is fantasy, magic, mystery all wrapped in one.  The author paints a very vivid image in my mind when I'm reading his words. Not sure why it has taken me 3 weeks to finish this story. good book!


3.  My hair!  I have been growing my hair out now for a few years. Looking back, I don't think I've had my hair this long since high school.  I'm ready for a change! I'm ready to chop it off and try a new color.  Growing up I was a blonde, by high school a dark blonde, I've meddled with different shades of red, and this time I'm playing with the idea of a medium brown. why not. If this happens, I may post pictures by the end of the week.


4.  Recently took a break from looking for a job, but I'm ready to get back into that search. I have applied for a few things, but nothings come back. still looking. glad it's not urgent, but still would like to find something, even just part-time.


5.  Feel like I'm starting a new chapter in my life, maybe that's why I'm changing my hair and looking for a job.  Feels good. exciting and new.


6.  I'm addicted to a new game on facebook. City of Wonder. wonder if it's time to collect my coins yet?? or research something new.


7.  Excited that my sister and I are finalllllly going to have a girls weekend with our big sister in a few months. tickets bought. the trip is set in stone.


8. Need new recipes. Do you ever get tired of the stuff you make for dinner?? are your kids super picky about what they eat?! yeah. I need to try something new, the recipes I have are getting boring and over used. I've looked at food.com, kraftfoods.com, friends blogs, but I'm still at a loss.


9.  Frustrated that my attempts at losing weight are not showing. I know...be patient. whatever. going on a month of workout classes (which I love going to), watching calories, and I may have lost a pound? really?? I'm being good! and I haven't been this active in years. Since I'm enjoying this, I'll keep at it, hoping that my body will catch up down the road.


10.  Babysitters. I need to find a new reliable babysitter that doesn't mind that my hermit brother in law lives in the basement. So far I've been looking at sitter websites, which charge a monthly fee just so you can reply to girls that are interested in watching your kids! seriously?

p.s.  my daughter has her first loose tooth! (she wanted me to mention it)


And because I have not posted a song for the month, here is another Bside track for Muse. Easily.
