1,200

Wow, this is blog entry number 1,200.  Crazy that I've kept up with this for 1,200 entries. You could say that I have "stick-to-itiveness" issues, especially when I look at Randy and sometimes say, "I can't believe we've been together for (blank) number of years!  I've never done anything for this long!"  Same holds true for the blog.  So, yeah... yay me.

What would really be cool if I were one of these bloggers that actually got PAID for my mad blogging skills... but it's not to be.  (Sigh...)  Because it would really come in handy right about now, seeing as we're living out of ice chests.  Why ice chests?  Well, our refrigerator decided to quit on us yesterday.    It's always fun coming home to mint chocolate chip ice cream oozing from the bottom of the freezer... just sayin'.  It was 14 years old and we knew it was one ice cube away from dying, but I still had hope it could be repaired by my genius handy man.   Nope.  It's not repairable.  So, a new fridge was ordered.  And there goes our tax return refund.

Oh, and it won't arrive until tomorrow. (Yes, I know... 1st world problems.)   It's like a camping adventure, but not really.  Let's just say, I'll be glad to have milk that is cold, rather than room temp.

So, I recently bought a Hot Fix Wand.  No, it's not the latest in essential hair appliances.  It's a crystal bead applicator.  You know, the crystal (blingy) beads that set/glue when you apply heat.  Well, it's a tool designed especially for intricate bling detailing.   Y'all.  I'm for the most part AGAINST the excessive blingy-ness found in clothing stores, but because you pretty much cannot buy a tshirt without bling on it for girls ages 9-12, it has come in handy as an easy way to replace missing blingy-ness.  I even added blingy-ness to one of Elisan's sweatshirts.  As a mom of two girls, I'm really sad that I didn't have this tool sooner.  I mean... I could have been using this thing for years.  I've even decided to make myself a custom blinged out cap to wear to soccer games.  I flat our refuse to wear anything that says "soccer mom", but I don't mind wearing clothing to support the team's colors and/or name.  So, I'm gonna bling out a cap that has the girls' soccer team name on it.  I'll keep ya posted on how it turns out once I get started.

Next week is Spring break and my head is literally spinning that it is already time for Spring break.  Not to mention the fact that it's freezing outside right now.  Isn't Spring break traditionally in Spring?  And shouldn't it be a tad bit warmer?  The girls will be at indoor soccer camp for the entire week while I.... while I enjoy spring break without them.  I'm kind of bummed that they won't be "off" for their week off of school.  But, they love it and I don't want to deprive them of fun... heaven forbid... because sleeping late and hanging around the house with mom truly IS NOT fun.

And that's all for now.  I'm going to bask in the glow of my 1,200th post and leave on a high note.
