Random Thoughts.....

So I have all these random thoughts that run through my mind all the time. I figure most people have them, maybe some more than others? None of them individually are worth spending more than a few seconds on, so I thought I would collect my thoughts here for anyone who wants to follow along. (good luck, ha)

First, is it sad, that I had to make a list on my phone of the random things I should blog about??? My memory is so bad! My dad just blogged about his memory and he is "knocking on 60!" I'm 30!!! What is going on! I heard on The Ticket how people in older generations are better than us in so many ways; work harder, smarter, problem solve better, etc, in my family, I think that is definitely true!

Second thought, don't you hate when you misspell something so bad that even spell check doesn't suggest the right word! ( I did that with definitely!)

Third, we went out to dinner last night and ate delicious food, BUT I think Chef's have it too easy. I could cook with butter, vegetable oil, and fry things but I choose not to and my food still taste good but is healthy! We pay so much money for going out to eat these days and it usually is so bad for us! Even salads are sometimes worse than a steak! I want to go to a restaurant that has healthy food, decent portions, and still tastes good! I know they exist but not in "Fort Worth, Texas" (said with a very country accent). 

Speaking of food, I eat healthy the majority of the time, but I might have one time a week that I eat "bad" food.  And I noticed that I crave that "bad" food for a day at least! Bad food truly is addicting and even if you try to change your pallet to not want those foods, if you give in once, the cravings return!! AHHHHHH:) I guess that is why God gave us self control!

I am almost off my rant on healthy stuff, but one more thing....I was reading in my excellent Marathon, You Can Do It book by Jeff Galloway given to me by my wonderful sister, Kassie, that women store fat in different ways than men. I had heard most of the things he said before, but one new thing was that women store fat in little pockets of their muscles. So from the outside they may not appear to be storing fat, but as those "pockets" fill up, then the rest of their body starts to store fat. This is really annoying because, if I would have known that eating 2 Chipotle burritos a day was being stored in muscles, then  I wouldn't have done it! But I couldn't SEE the fat, so I wasn't worried about it!! So annoying. I guess I shouldn't live by the philosophy that "if you can't see it, then it isn't there":) 

Moving on.... Have you tried to watch Prime Time television with young kids. It's impossible! We watch American Idol, the X-factor, and baseball with Aspen .... that's about it. Even "You Think You Can Dance" can be scandalous! One show that we found, Last Man Standing, with Tim Allen. It is pretty decent, very cheesy, but for the most part it's clean. It's definitely no Cosby Show, Family Ties, Full House, or even Home Improvement but it's as close as we can get these days! I would LOVE for one of the major networks to come out with a truly good family show. I think it would do well! 

I have realized that I have turned into a combination of my mom, my Mama, and my Nonna. I am not as amazing as any of these women, by far! Buy I tend to tear up over the smallest things, hearing a story from a friend, during a prayer, during church, watching a commercial, watching the news, watching Top Chef whatever!! (that's my mom and Mama) and then I'll be talking to my daughter about something the teacher got onto her for, and I totally agree with the teacher and tell my daughter "I hope you learned a lesson"(Nonna). I love it! I hope more of them will continue to flow out of me with age. 

Ok, I'll stop boring anyone who has continued to read all this! Sometimes I think I should write a book, because my imagination is so weird and huge, I think with some direction, it could be a great book.
