If you've ever read this blog, you know who I stole this idea from. Duh, remember Chelsea? I'm not really sure if this will be seven things or not, but here goes:
1) Lately, it seems like I catch a bit of "The Today Show" every morning at my cousin's house when everyone is starting to head out the door. I actually kind of like Matt Lauer and will probably miss Meredith next year. Not the point. Anyway, they were (much like everybody else) talking about the Arnold scandal. A man onscreen was talking about if Arnold would use this as publicity for his next acting endeavors. This man's title? "Reputation Expert." Really?? What does that even mean? How would one become educated and create a career out of this so-called field? People amaze me.
2) I cut all my hair off. It's a little bit Ellen Degeneres in the 90's-esque. Dave likes my hair long. I feel as though I have given him this gift of long hair for over a year now, so he can deal with it, right? Summers are too hot in Houston to be carting around all that hair. Also, I can't remember the last time I even had conditioner in my shower... Judge me now if you need to.
3) Dave and I joke a lot about the people we are "dating." For example, if he's texting someone I might say, "Stop texting your girlfriend." Or I might tell him, "Call me when you're on your way home so I can tell my boyfriend to leave." I now realize that both of these examples only include me joking that way... Anyway, is this completely weird? Does it seem more like we are just being silly or like we don't respect the sanctity of marriage? I really hope it's the first one.
4) Have you ever realized one day during adulthood that you grew up calling things something that nobody else did? For example, what everyone else called "rolley poleys" we called "doodle bugs." And I blame my mom that we said "goosey pimples" instead of "goosebumps." Scarred for life.
5) I quit reading the McMama blog cold turkey a couple weeks ago. Nothing against her, but the whole thing was a bit much with all the comment wars and such.
6) My coffee cup just leaked on my shirt. I always get self-conscious when something like this happens because people might think I'm lactating everywhere or something. Also, I'm pretty sure the only people I am going to see today are two 5-month-olds so I should probably relax.
6) Dave's Grandpa passed away this week. He was a couple weeks short of 93. I got to meet him before Dave and I were engaged, and we still laugh about how he kissed my neck. He was so sweet both times he got to see Myla Grace. This last January (I think) was about the last time he was out of bed, and we were lucky enough to get a few pictures like this one:
Sweet man. Rest in peace with Jesus, Grandpa Carl.

Dave's grandpa passed away this week at 94. Sad but good to know he's with Jesus.
