Monday Mindspacing Vol. 110

1) There's this girl I went to middle school with who was held back once, her older sister was held back twice when she had each of her babies... in middle school.  Both very nice girls.  Just rough around the edges.  The younger sister has made such open-minded strides!!  I love watching her evolution and her beautiful family on facebook!  I know there's no way to tell her I'm really glad she's progressed beyond middle school without sounding condescending so I'll say it here and continue to tell her how cute her kids are!
2) How excited am I that "Clarissa Explains It All" is back??  VERY!!  I even enjoyed a little "All That."  Can I please get some "Salute Your Shorts" and "The Secret Life of Alex Mack"!!??
3) Fb is not LinkedIn.  It should used to build professional contacts.  If we don't really know each other?  What would be the point?
4) You know how there are people who would NEVER leave the house w/o earrings w/o feeling naked? I am not of this ilk.  I never have been but now that I have hair long enough to cover my ears?  Psssssh.  Chile please.  Now part of this is definitely that I don't have enough everyday earrings but the other part is I don't care that much.
5) I started a new page on the blog called 'Thankful' to try to help me out of my tendency to complain far too much.
6) I continued stretching my teaching muscle with some stimulating reading this week and it was awesome!!
7) Have you seen the Animal Planet show "Too Cute"???  IT'S TOO CUTE!!  Me & Rah were all up in those cute kitties!!
8) I got a free Martha Stewart Living subscription, right?  Why did I get three in one week???  Umm... June, July AND August... in July???  Where do they participate in that activity?  Behind the preposition at?
9) I'm trying to cook up a storm this week.  I'm aiming for at least 5 meals.  One down!  Wish me luck!
10) My brain tells me I'm fat sometimes.  It's not even predictable.  It happened the other day and I started telling Rashan I need to change my diet and pinching my sides.  He blank stared at me.  Then I looked in the mirror and said, "Oh... it doesn't look that bad."  More blank stares.  More Jameil chatter.  Another look in the mirror, "What is wrong with me? I'm not fat!" Rashan, "I've learned not to get in the middle of your crazy."  LOL I've married a smart man!
11) Speaking of which, Rashan and I have been married one month today!!!! :)  What a joyous month!  One of the girls in my program sent a note wishing us "eternal marital bliss."  Beautiful!!
12) BIRTH MONTH!!!!!!!!!! AUGUST BABIES STAND UP!!!

8. "Where they do that at?" is a great saying. It has so many uses. Dont fight it. It doesn't even have the same meaning using the word participate.
10. Very smart. We will sort it out within ourselves usually. Just sit back and watch the show.
12. Whoop whoop! Friday! *raising the roof whie doing the Hammer. Do I look crazy doing this?*

1) Yup, there's no way of saying that that doesn't sound like a back-handed compliment.
4) I did not know that. Humans continue to surprise me with their weird neuroses.
5) Maybe I should do that... Nah... I too lazy.

1. Too bad Hallmark doesn't make a card for that!

2. I had no idea! I'll have to watch too! I loved Melissa, in fact, I watched Sabrina and I watched Melissa and Joey now, I'm a fan, what can I say??

4. My hair is long enough to cover my ears mixed with a combo of I don't care either.

5. I try to catch myself when I notice I'm doing this a lot.

9. What time is dinner served??

10. Isn't it funny how we see things that aren't really there sometimes?

11. A month has passed already?! Goodness, I swear this entire year has blown right passed me. One month down, many, many, many, many, (you get the gist)to go!

1. Aww, that's sweet I'm sure she'd be happy to hear that and I'm positive you'd be able to say it in a way that doesn't sound condescending.

2. NEVER liked either of those shows.

4. It's funny because I'm THAT PERSON....Lol I don't have enough everyday earrings but I will still do it. I know it's because of the length of my hair because when I had long hair it was never an issue. I'm so special sometimes. Lol

5. I know I could definitely take a lesson in not complaining so much. It brings my energy level down so I really need to find away to not complain and let others stupidity affect me so much. UGH!!!

6. Reading. YEAY!!! I need some new reading material.

10. My brain tells me I'm fat multiple times a day. So annoying! I've concluding that I'm not fat...but I am chubby. Lol. I really need to get some exercise in.

3. You are hilarious! Why won't these people get the message?
4.I LOVE earrings!! I only feel naked without them if I don't have them on at work or church. Other than that no big.
5. I truly need to join you in this endeavor! I don't feel thankful at all! :(
6. TEACH! *Yelled out like at church when they say PREACH!* :)
7. There y'all go with those dang cats again! SMH!
8. That was funny! Martha wanted you to be all caught up! That happened with my subscription for Lucky mag.

4. Yep, me without earrings in naked! I'm the exact opposite of you though - when my hair was long, I didn't really care so much. Now that I wear it really low, earrings are a MUST.

7. Your love for those beasts continues to amaze me.

8. Hilarious to me!
