mindsies

what's been on my mind lately, you ask? well, i will tell you. thank you for asking.

• i am still obsessed with hummus. ooh la la. i eat it, like, everyday.
• i have one million bajillion calls to score in a week and 2 days.
• finley calls the song "jesus loves me", "momma's song". tear. 
• i am not happy with my fruits of the spirit project. i knooooooooow. that's horrible. 
• audrey is standing on her own...! not quite taking steps. jake and i are both okay with that. she's getting so big.
• i just love christmas lights. 
• i want to be a fly on the wall at liz and danny's house.
• our so called cats have brought wonderful little gifts up to our doorstep. knowhatimean!?! i shudder. i squirm. they're "doing their job" i suppose. yuck. 
• we're on season 5... the FINAL season of FNL. say it isn't so! please. 
• one major perk of our new job is the yummy free cupcakes/cake every weekend. 
• oh, and the extra wine :).
•  my trip to portland is getting extremely close... and i am choosing not to have anxiety attacks thinking about the flights. we will be okay. we will not die. we will all survive. it is only temporary. it is worth the torture. this is my running mental note. xoxo portland peeps.
• i gotta do more crafts. i need to put some love into our walls. 
• i opened up my sewing machine. spent like, well, 3 hours trying to thread it. i know. loo-ser. i am still unsuccessful. i even read the manual like 3 times. you guys, i HATE manuals. that is commitment. i need to skype my friend jeanette. she said she'd help me. and i'm sure my mom could talk me through it. i haven't had the heart to get it out and try again. we need to reconnect. and have a serious DTR. that we are in a loving co-dependent relationship. 
• we ask finley, "who loves you?" and he says, "uumm mama". "who else?" "uumm dada". "who else?" "uumm auda". "who else?" "uumm GESUS!" (Jesus). love this. 
•  i probably drink too much diet coke. 
• i made homemade brownies for the first time last night. can i say, brownie box mix who?! they were yum yum. 
• i'm excited to see my sissy katie. 
• i really like hydrangeas. we get those leftover from the weddings, too. score. 
• we went to a work project with "our church" (i think we're committed. YAY!) this morning. met some people. phew. needed to know we can make friends! i met some moms. this is wonderful news. and these said people seemed really wonderful. thank you, Jesus. 
• i love taking showers right before bed.
• i could eat chick-fil-a like every other day. no joke.  

 thank you, truly, for reading. i would like to know your "list of mindsies". 

night, friends.

love.
