a random blog about random thoughts!

I am quite pleased that the weather has been nice. Today we got a bag of sand for a project completion. It was one bag of sand. All summer I've wanted to get my baby a sand box because he loves sand. The sand didn't work for the project completion and Espen somehow ripped open the bag. I had a rubber bucket to put the sand in and soon, Espen had his shoes off, his shovel and himself in the bucket with the sand. It was one bag of sand and a small bucket. But he was oh so happy... the baby needs a sandbox! He played with that sand for the longest time.... unfortunately, we were in the middle of the driveway & I was not going to leave to get a camera so there are no photos. So do we build one or just buy a plastic one... do we do it now or wait until spring?

Espen & I have been raking... the big piles of leaves are super fun to play in. However we have not been energized to pick up the piles! We just crunch in them & play! And I hint that perhaps someone else will help me pick up the leaves this weekend!

I have officially moved from the Omaha music store to the Bellevue store. It is much quieter. The people are really friendly & super funny. At the other store I was able to just do things I am more comfortable & familiar with - music and band instruments. This new store I have to learn about guitars, amps, strings, drums, etc... because all 6 of us at this store sell everything. So that is a little un-nerving but it gives my mind something to do - besides what I do!!

I haven't broken anything for a long time! And I think it makes those living in my house nervous! It is just a matter of time.... I am so careful with the camera I have borrowed from Anders, my phone & my computers. Hopefully it will not be expensive when it happens!

My strange rash - we think we discovered it to be from a random source! I seem to have an allergic reaction perhaps to rose bushes or shrubs .... or it may have been poison oak! At any rate I've been very careful and wear long sleeves & pants when I'm in the yard. I also don't get unnecessarily in bushes or plants! I didn't react like one normally would to poison oak or ivy. So we are not sure what it was or what combination it was. But the strange part is that my skin still itches. It is not red or swollen or crazy looking but itchy. So after some further research, perhaps my PH is off... so I've started drinking that GREEN VIBRANCE drink again. If you've seen it you know it is not so good looking. But it will set my PH back up & it is possible that my skin won't be able to hold the itch anylonger. So if it works I'll be happy!

So on these random thoughts... I'm off for the evening.. time for bed!
