Yesterday

1. We all slept in until about 8:00

2. We are out of groceries, so mealtimes were creative

3. I let the kids watch Lion King and eat popcorn at 10:00 a.m. I needed to not be a mom for a while.

4. No one took naps. Probably thanks to sleeping late and watching movie instead of being active.

5. I managed to fold and put away a sea of laundry with the swarming children.

6. I made some granola bars.

7. I let the kids watch Clifford, and I took a bath. (I know, the TV was my babysitter yesterday)

8. We ran to Target for a few needs.

9. My mom and dad and nephew got into town in the evening for a few days!

My Internets

1. My favorite thing online might be Design Sponge's "Living In:" posts where they give shopping guides for beautifully styled movies. I love it because it is the same way my mind works and would have loved to have thought of that idea first.

2. The only random "personal" blogs I read are Daily Garnish (because she's a vegetarian/vegan like me and we have similar food taste) and Fly Through Our Window (because her blog is fun and I wish we were friends).

3. I also love the apartment therapy family of blogs, which also includes kitchn and ohdeedoh. I check them a couple times a week for great references, links, ideas, etc.

4. I keep up with all of my friends blogs with the blogroll on my family's blog.

5. I watch a lot of music videos on YouTube.

6. I have 61 recipes saved in my recipes bookmark.

7. The only other websites that are regulars for me are Mint (we use for our budgeting), Woot shirts, facebook, 101 cookbooks, and Hogwired (to keep up with my Razorbacks).

Times I've Been Terrified

1. Tracy, Jenny, Jenny's friend Erin, and I were once chased by a bull (horns and all) across a field.

2. I've also been chased by a gaggle of geese. Once at Centennial Country Club, but I was in a cart, so I narrowly escaped. The other time I was lying on the ground (!) at Des Peres Park and got pecked a bit.

3. Seeing my baby sister floating under water with her arms raised for help at my aunt and uncle's neighborhood pool when she was about 3. My dad had to jump in to rescue her.

4. My friend Tasha and I were chased from the city pool to her dad's body shop by a man saying, "girls...girls...girls..." over and over.

5. Some of my guy "friends" (I have to put it in quotes because no actual friend would do this to you) tried to break into my rental house in college wearing black robes and Scream masks. I almost peed my pants.

6. A guy (I think he was drunk and trying to get into the wrong apartment) tried getting into my house once when my roommate was gone. He worked at that key for about 20 minutes. I hid behind the couch against the wall with my cell phone and woke up there the next morning.

7. Spinning and sliding all over I-40 at 3:30 in the morning on the way home from a late shift at Abercrombie in college during an ice storm.

8. When I thought I was having a heart attack a few years ago. After a trip to the ER, it was discovered I had costochondritis. So painful.

9. I was in one of my friends houses in college, and a small cat jumped onto the top of my arm, clawed itself in, and started hissing. I was shaking my arm violently and screaming, but it stayed on there. I hate cats.

10. When this (apparently cracked-out) lady got mad at me for going the correct way up the parking garage at Culinaria while she was flying down the wrong way and got out of her car and yelled profanities while hitting my window demanding I get out and let her beat me up. I did not get out, clearly.

7 Things About Me
