Randomness

These are my random thoughts for the day:
*Why don't I fit into any of my clothes anymore? Even though I look at a closet full of clothes, hardly any of them fit me right. Either my clothes are way to small for me after having two kids, or they are my way too big for me transition clothes that don't fit me anymore. I told Chris that I would seriously get rid of half of my wardrobe if I could just buy a few outfits that fit me just right. So for those of you who are smaller than me or bigger than me.. come and get clothes from me :). Even though I am only a good 10-12 pounds away from where I would like to be weight wise.. it's amazing how having two kids really shifts your body.. and nothing fits right.
*I miss reading books. I look at a shelf of books I want to read, but since Gabe wants to be held so much.. I am not getting a lot of reading done (or anything else). Family, listen up.. Christmas break I want help with kids so I can read a book :).
*Poor Gabe has been so congested the last couple of nights, and he is miserable.
*Christmas is coming so soon.. I am so excited!!!
*I hate to admit it, but I really like some kids music. I remember driving with Jaime and laughing at her singing along to the Backyardagins, but I really have to admit that there is really some tolerable kids music out there(as well as music that drives me nuts). I love the curious george soundtrack, Raffi (he is a classic), and I always look on itunes and find musicians who have written or redone kid's songs. Barenaked ladies, Bob Dylan,Sarah Mclachlan, the Dixie Chicks...they've all done kids music. I also just checked out two cute cds from the library that have more modern funky arrangements: "Songs for Wiggleworms," and "Sing with a Child."
*I am seriously contemplating coercing some of my friends here into taking a belly dancing class next term just to add some spice to my life :). (For those of you who live here, you can run but you can't hide... I will be recruiting you).
*I have the recipe for the best sugar cookies. They are more spicy and lemony and then your average recipe, and that is why I like them. I also put cream cheese frosting on top (I just used the recipe from allrecipes.com) I will not lie and say these are good for you, but they are yummy!

You may be wondering if there could be a more random post, but it is so nice to have my own blog, because I can do whatever I want :)!
p.s. I promise that I will be posting pictures of the kids soon, I have been experiencing some technical difficulties with my camera lately :).
