I Have a Disease

1.  I have a disease.  It's apparently incurable.  It's called HaveToHaveThatStuff.  Seriously, ever since I was a little girl, I've had a fascination with notebooks. And journals.  And stickers.  And pens.  And folders.  In third grade, I was so convinced my life would be better if only I could have that Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper.  I still feel that way.  Not about Trapper Keepers, but about paper products in general.  I honestly have to avoid going down the school supply and scrap booking aisles in all stores.  Because if I end up there, I have to stop and stare.  And think about all the writing I could do in that pink-flower-covered notebook.  And how cute a scrapbook would be if I just had those stickers.  The funny thing?  I rarely write by hand anymore - I type.  And I haven't scrap booked in years.  But I still feel like I need that stuff.

2.  Carolyn has officially caught her first cold.  It's the saddest thing I've ever seen.  It kills me to hear her little clogged breathing.  We got out the snot sucker.  I made Husband do it, because her screaming little red face upsets me.

3.  The Tummy Toucher just came and took some grapes off my desk.  Without asking.  Then she said that she always wants to buy produce but she doesn't know how.  What the H?  If you don't know how to do something, you get on the bleedin' Internet for instructions.  And then stop taking my food!

4.  I have a hard time understanding what would possess someone to purchase a yellow car. 

5.  Is it just me, or are there like eighty-five million people in southeast Texas with some kind of allergy?  I swear, before I moved down here, the only real allergy I'd ever heard of was hayfever.

6.  Today is October 26th.  When I walked out the door this morning it was nigh on to 80 degrees.  The high today is supposed to be close to 90.  Ugh.  When is fall going to come?

7.  I can't get enough of this song.  Plus, this is a good video to like learn how to read with (ten points to anyone who can name that quote).  I also can't get enough of this video.  It cracks me up.

8.  My hair is falling out in handfuls.  Literally.  My hair is getting stringy and grody.  Time for a haircut - but what do I do with it?

9.  When does your body get back to normal after pregnancy?  Like when have the hormones cycled out of your system?  Because I still feel exhausted even though Carolyn actually sleeps pretty well.  I don't know if I should blame it on hormones or if I should go get thyroid levels checked.

10.  They are pulling a re-design at my very favorite grocery store.  I shop there because for the last three years, everything's been in the same place.  Now they're moving stuff and I can't find anything.  On Saturday, I walked from one end of the store to the other at least five times.  I hate that.  I am a very methodical shopper and things out of their places makes me flustered.
