egg brain
Remember those old commercials...
*egg*
*egg in a hot frying pan*
...If they added a line about me-
*scrambled egg being served to a dozen wild monkeys*
Just over a week ago I was calmly nodding along with others talking about school starting this week. "Oh how the Summer sailed by..." we chatted. But in my egg-brain the conversation was different. AW DANG. THIS IS SOMETHING I'M SUPPOSED TO BE AWARE OF, ISN'T IT. ....I THINK I'LL MAKE MY WAY TO THE STORE AND BUY SOMMME ...PENCILS???
Brenda did make it to school, in one peace, with most of her listed supplies. She couldn't have been more proud of her new angry birds shirt. If it wasn't for social graces and hygiene she'd grow old in it.
School starts on Friday for Garret and I just need to make sure I have a clean shirt for him. Can I handle that?
And as sweet as it is to have two kids headed back to school, I don't believe it'll do my egg-brain any good. A recent personality test has informed me that my scrambled brain is a wonderful, permanent part of me and ought to be celebrated.

This is your brain.
*egg*
This is your brain on drugs.

This is Lindsay's brain on a Thursday afternoon.

being stinky is secondary to being awesome
I'm having trouble journaling about this year's Hood to Coast relay. I'd like to write something inspirational that moves everyone to get just as excited as I am. Like the day I switched to Ban deoderant. Words wouldn't express the magnitude of awesomeness. All I could say is- YOU GOTTA TRY IT.
So as you read this post, just pretend that little Connie Talbot is singing her little heart out and Oprah is in the background giving everyone a car.
That's how exciting this is.
I was nervous about this year's relay because I was given the hardest leg which included 3 long stretches and 2 wild climbs. I kept apologizing ahead of time, about how I was going to make everyone wait forever and we'd never get to the beach at a reasonable hour...
And as I completed each run I stunned myself. Hey that was a GREAT run! I ran that how fast? Are you sure???
Needless to say I was giddy all weekend.
It helps to have friends who bring out the goon in you.
They could make the DMV fun.
The energy at the start line is a party like non other.
The sights alone made you feel like you are part of something special.
The people, the sand, the pain... ALL GOOD!
I've never experienced a drug-induced high and never plan to. But hearing your team name over the loudspeaker as you all cross the finish line is a natural high that I doubt any drug can duplicate.
We laughed hard, played hard and RAN HARD.
Are you pumped? You want to come next year? Ready to try a new deoderant?
You just gotta.
P.S.
P.P.S. That fortune is now laminated and sitting in my wallet ready for the next time I have to drag all 3 kids through Walmart...

it's perfectly logical.
Garret spends his Summer days crouched in bushes and spinning in the sunlight. He'll take frequent indoor breaks to spread Nutella on my bed or throw laundry at the ceiling fans. I'm sure his flailing in the yard looks odd to passer-bys but there is a method here. In the bushes he finds a quiet place to tap the ground and maybe enjoy the feel of dirt on his face. In the sun he's fascinated by the dancing lights and shadows, similar to how we enjoy looking into a kaleidoscope. See? He's having a good time. And if he happens to want his pants off well, if only we could all get away with that, right?
And how about Brenda's odd out-door activities?
(After an afternoon in the yard today Brenda stood in the dining room and announced that she's proud to be a crazy scientist.)
So, she's just crazy.
I mean, look at the crazy eye.

Kendall + Kristen
Well for one, Scrubs is on tv. And two, I plan on sleeping in tomorrow. What we have is a perfect situation to get another post in tonight.
It's just so exciting that, in the words of Nickelcreek, I could spit on a stranger.
Well, not on purpose but you know what I mean. I mean, it's a song. And it came to mind. And it's nearly 2 am. And well, just look at the happy couple.
It was just a really great day.
yup.
MY BROTHER GOT MARRIED!!!!!!!!!
