Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that made me smile this week: The sheer delight and surprise my brother exhibited when he was examining my small DVD collection and found our childhood favorites, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
Something i struggled with this week: I heard someone i love say mean and belittling things about someone who invited a bunch of us to her house and just wants to make friends. They were unwarranted, and it makes me very sad.
Something tasty i ate this week: Green Beans with Potatoes and Bacon, using all fresh vegetables.
Something i learned this week: Bacon is worse for you than doughnuts. And i’ve been avoiding doughnuts, while not avoiding bacon. Conclusion: eat more doughnuts.
Something from the bridge table: Don’t Squeeze Your Partner
Some thing i am doing towards my goals: I ran another 5K this week, the Race for the Cure. This contributes to the ongoing run 5Ks my whole life goal.
Something i am reading: A Clash of Kings, by George R. R. Martin
Something happening around the house: Watching reruns of The Office.
Something i am thinking: The birds that have taken roost in our chimney are twittering more loudly of late. I wonder if they will leave the nest soon.
Something i am hoping:
Something i am looking forward to next week: We’re hosting another money IMP game at our house this week, which is always fun.
Something random: I get a tiny jolt of happiness when i look at the clock and the time is a repeating number. Specifically, 11:11, 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44 and 5:55. And pretty frequently, i find myself looking at the clock at several of those times during the day. It’s like, my internal clock knows what time it is and prompts me to look at the repeating numbers.
Something captured: A pre-race picture at Saturday’s Race for the Cure.
