Randomness Vol. 1

• My best friend gave birth to a precious baby boy yesterday! I hope she lets me babysit.
• I get to have lunch with a wonderful friend who gets to spend the whole summer with her little baby girl. I’m so jealous!
• I’m apparently baby hungry. I wish my sister would hurry up and get pregnant. Waiting for the right time is over-rated.
• Rated R is over-rated. (Anyone watching The Bachelorette?) And I knew that from the beginning.
• If I were The Bachelorette, I’d choose Frank or that guy who’s mom died a year ago. (I always forget his name.) Roberto just doesn’t do it for me. And Ty… well, at this point who am I to be picky, right?
• My favorite line this week: “Backyards are over-rated!” Spoken by my sister after she spent 5 hours weeding her new yard. Why don’t people ever believe me when I try to tell them that home-ownership isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
• My house was dang hot already this morning as I was getting ready for work. It finally feels like summer.
• My legs are silky smooth right now. (Sorry if that is TMI.) I waxed last night after not shaving for a little over a week, which is SO itchy in this heat, but SO worth it in the end.
• I hope you aren’t thinking about my silky smooth legs right now. That would kinda creep me out!
• I like cantaloupe when it gets really, really ripe.
• I’ve caught the craft bug lately. I realized this weekend that I’m in the middle of 8 different projects. Apparently I have trouble focusing. (I’ll show you what I’ve been working on (and what I wish I had time to work on) in another post.)
• It’s come to my attention recently that I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting some (or at least one) of the people who read my blog. So, welcome, stranger(s)! I hope you keep coming back for more!
• I hope to take lots of fun pictures this weekend of all the patriotic festivities. Sometimes I get carried away with taking pictures.
• I just had a brilliant idea! I’m going to hold my very first contest. Here are the details:

1. Leave a comment below with your guess of how many pictures I’m going to take this weekend which I’m going to count as Friday morning through Monday night (that’s July 2 – 5).
2. No entries after 2400 Monday night (that’s military time for 12:00pm Monday night)
3. I promise not to read any comments on this post until Tuesday morning. (Pinky swear!)
4. Winner will be announced Tuesday morning.
5. Only one comment per person is allowed but 2 entries per person are allowed. Read on for more details:
6. There are 2 ways to enter: I will also give a prize to the person who has the most people visit my blog from a link on their blog. Does that make sense? So, tell everyone you know to go to your blog then click on a link you have there, either on your sidebar or in a post, that sends them to my blog. Does that make sense? If it doesn’t email me at myownkindofcrazy at hotmail or at my personal email if you know it. (Don’t leave a comment on this post because I won’t get it until Tuesday morning and it’ll be too late to win and then I’d feel guilty!)
7. Now I suppose you want to know what the “prize” is?! It’s a $15 gift card to my favorite restaurant Macaroni Grill!!! You can also use it at Chili’s and I think another restaurant or 2 if you’re not an Italian lover. (Personally, I wouldn’t mind finding an Italian lover!) So yes, 2 (dos) $15 gift cards will be given away!

And to help you in your guesswork I’ll now tell you what I currently have planned for this weekend:
Friday morning: Either a rail-trail bike ride with the family or a fishing trip up the canyons.
Friday afternoon: A couple craft projects with Sister.
Saturday: Parade, BBQ, game booths, fireworks
Sunday: Teaching primary
Monday: Totally undecided (possibly some home projects, maybe a BBQ)

Good luck!
