Random Thoughts from my Head

Wooo Wednesday!  I am happy to report that we've made it to the middle of the week relatively unscathed. Let's hope the rest of the week goes the same way.  I have a couple of busy days at work ahead so I am thinking it will, well hoping any way.

And now for a few random thoughts from my head.....

#1 Spring

I think it is safe to say that Spring has finally officially sprung in Alabama. It took us a little while to get there this year, but except for one night this weekend in the 40s, it looks like we are well on our way to warmer weather.  We actually turned the AC on 2 nights ago for the first time this year.  The pool is still covered, but if we keep having warm days like we've had I don't think that will be the case too much longer.  This time last year we'd had the pool open for almost a month because it got so warm so fast!

#2 Crappie

Warm weather in our house means the beginning of crappie season.  AKA, the month or 2 when Eric and I barely see each other (hard to believe given that we both coach at different times of the year and this is not one of our seasons) and tend to have time for nothing more than a hey-how-was-your-day in the hour and a half between when I come home from work and when he goes to bed.   This time of the year it's like he works night shift and therefore goes to sleep shortly after I come home from work.  Why?  Because he get's up somewhere between midnight and 2AM to go fishing, of course!  Doesn't everyone? Just kidding.  I am well aware that most sane people (like me) do not do this.  Why does he get up in the middle of the night to fish?  That's easy, so he can get back in time to put in a full day of work, of course!  Not my cup of tea, but it makes him happy.  And it means we'll have fish for fish frys all summer.  I have actually gotten to the point that I don't even hear him get up any more.  If it weren't for having to take the dogs out in the morning (which is usually his job) it would not really affect me.  Although I think he realized how little time we'd seen each other this week and walked the dogs with me last night. When I get my morning call with the catch report and hear the sheer joy in his voice, I know that it's worth it!

3. Green Onions

I have decided to grow my own green onions from ones that I have already used.  Mon told me about it a few weeks ago and I found a pin on pinterest that basically said put the bottom of the green onions in about and inch of water and they will grow.   I am anxious to see how well it works.  We go through green onions like crazy so it would be nice to not to have to buy them as often as I do.

4. VeryJane.com

I have a new shopping site obsession.....www.veryjane.com. I randomly stumbled across it a few weeks ago and it has quickly become one of my favorite sites.  The best way I can describe it is groupon (another favorite site of mine) for boutiques!  I have never been one to jump on trends (I've always a couple years behind on fashion because I hate spending a lot of cash on things that will be in season for just a year, plus it takes me that long to figure out how to wear them!), but thanks to pinterest that time frame has bene drastically reduced.  That's where veryjane comes in handy.  I can get trendy pieces for less! Can't beat that!  I've bought a couple of things, and been tempted to purchase several more things!

#5 College Basketball

 Last but not least, I am sad to report that the 2013-2013 college basketball season is officially over.  I really enjoyed watching both tournaments this year.  There were tons of great games, intriguing story lines, and of course exciting upsets! Every year they do a tournament recap to "One Shining Moment" that highlights some of the more emotional and spectacular moments of the tournament.  I am not going to lie, I tear up ever year when I see it.  This year was no different.

Happy Wednesday!
