10 Thursday Randoms

1.  I need to get better about posting updates.  When I have time (which is rare), I feel like I have nothing interesting to say.  I need to try harder.

2.  I got the Pioneer Woman's cookbook for Mother's day from my girls.  I have made two recipes so far from it  - chicken pasta bake (not so great) and comfort meatballs (YUM).  I'm trying to get better at menu planning, cooking vs. takeout, etc...any tips/recipes you care to share?  :)

3.  I decided to split a CSA farm share with a friend again.  Last time I did it, I bought a half share and I felt like I wasted too much.  I felt like I had summer squash coming out of my ears.  This time, I am splitting a half share and am pretty excited about giving it a second shot.  The drop site is at a local bakery and the bakery decided to do a "bread-share" this year as well...love my carbs!  I'm hoping this decision will help with my goals listed above in #2.  I'm also running again, so I am feeling better and more inspired to eat healthier.

4.  Chloe's last day of farm school is next Friday.  She will be done with preschool for good.  Which means she will start Kindergarten in a few short months.  Which means I have a kid old enough to be a kindergartner.  I'm not having a panic attack or anything...sniffle.

5.  I haven't taken any pictures lately and am feeling guilty about it.  I really need to start doing that again as well as learning more about my camera.  And while we're on that topic, I need to start organizing my photos.  Some day...

6.  I am addicted to the Real Housewives...all of them.  I mean did you see the NJ premiere?!  Trainwreck!   I feel so normal...and boring - but I'll take it!  I can't stop watching each new season.  I'm an addict.

7.  Chloe cut her own hair last Friday...for the second time.  She told me that she did it because she wanted her hair to grow faster.  (I had at one time convinced her to get a trim by telling her that her hair would grow faster and longer if we cut the bad stuff off...guess that backfired).  

8.  I want my laundry to go away...but it won't.

9.  Annalise calls gum "gobble gum" and it cracks me up every time she says it.  She makes me laugh every day.  Both girls do actually.

10.  My little one is crying for me right now.  I think she has croup.  :(  I am too tired to go back and edit so I apologize for any typos.  Good night.
