Things on my mind at 1:18 a.m.
1. First of all, why am I still up when I have a very busy day tomorrow?
2. I had the loveliest lunch with Cousin Cate today. We went to our favorite little downtown place and she drank this orange stuff from France and I drank lemonade and we talked about normal, girls-in-their-20s types of things. We giggled a lot.
3. My little Katie had her last college formal tonight. When I went to her house earlier this evening, she was trying to decide between three dresses. Two hours later, I got a text informing me that she had a wardrobe malfunction with the one she chose. I can’t wait to hear the story.
4. Getting Snuggles y Cuddles was one of the top five best decisions of my life. I really have no idea how to explain how much I love those two puppies. They’re asleep beside me right now.
5. Tomorrow night (wait, tonight) is my last official “thing” with my Starlite college girls. Katie and I were talking about it earlier tonight and she said “we can’t talk about this” and I said “I know.” I am dreading it because I honestly don’t know if I can make it through it. Seriously. If you knew my girls, you’d understand why.
6. I did something Super Top Secret today for a surprise for someone else but the surprise hasn’t actually happened yet so I can’t say what I did. I LOVE SURPRISES (as long as they aren’t for me).
7. Okay, Cousin Cate and I need you to weigh in on a debate we had earlier tonight: we passed a “sleep disorder center” and I mentioned that I thought it would be nice to have someone watch me sleep at night. CC acted like that was weird or something. Your opinion? I mean, I don’t want some creep to sneak into my bedroom and sit at the foot of my bed or anything. So maybe this isn’t that great of an idea now that I think it through a little more. Hmm.
8. CC and I were at a store earlier tonight and, while I was paying for something, I made a comment to her about being nervous about wearing my bridesmaid dress with the other nine bridesmaids and the cashier spoke up and said “It sounds like the other bridesmaids have more confidence than you.” I thought she said that backwards so I automatically said “thank you” but then I saw the look of horror on CC’s face and realized what the woman had really said and I said “actually, no thank you.” And then when we got to the parking lot, I kinda lost my temper about it right there outside than store and CC didn’t even know what to say to me. It was not my best moment and the worst part is that I was just mad I didn’t come up with something better to say back to that woman other than “ACTUALLY, NO THANK YOU.”
So, a comment to #7…the only way I would let someone watch me sleep is if it was a) Edward Cullen or b)since Edward isn’t real, my future husband can watch me sleep all he wants…and Tonight is going to be awesome…
2. I love that orange stuff from France. Almost as much as that lemonade.
5. Sad.
7. I think you can make good money volunteering for sleep experiments. I think they do watch you, but I’m not sure.
8. Maybe in some backhanded way, the cashier was trying to encourage you? Like all that those girls have on you is a little more confidence? Otherwise, not sure why she felt the need to pipe up.
Hi Amy Beth! I’ve been reading and loving your blog for quite awhile now, and yes, I have been lurking
I absolutely love your Daily Peek entries. In fact, I love it so much that I’m going to do the same thing on my blog! I’ve fallen off the ‘blog wagon’ lately and think this will be a simple way to get back into the blogging routine. Your blog is one I look forward to reading every day! If I lived in TN, I would definitely want to be your friend ;o)
Just randomly found your adorable blog and wanted to say hello! Going to read some more!
5. I’m just thinking about how good you must have been for those College girls and how much you mean to them – and them, you. What a blessing. And we’re not even counting the kiddos yet.
7. That sounds like something that husbands are for – although one probably shouldn’t watch you sleep ALL night. Counter-productive you know…
8. I occurred to me that this was a back-handed compliment. Like she meant to say that you’re beautiful, and you’re going to look great – she doesn’t see what you see that makes you worry about the dress. Maybe she just saw you as a beautiful child of God with the amazing beautiful spirit that we all know you wear in place of the finest jewelry.
-Or – she’s just a B!t&#.
But really, other people don’t see our flaws in the great detail that we see our own flaws. You’re beautiful and she knows it. Sort of like the cut who gave you sideswept bangs.
/\ That should be “It occurred to me…”
I am going to call you about #6 tomorrow!!!
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
Wait – I just realized that #6 is something different than I thought!!!! (is there an embarrassed smiley???) I hope that it went great!!!
#6-you and your surprises…moreover…you and your desire to torment the bloggy world by delaying information!
#8-poop on the cashier
