Thursday Thoughts - Take 1

Thursday, October 16th, 2008 | Posted in Everyday, Random Thoughts

  • I take care the baby during the nights on weeknights, while Erik gets more uninterrupted sleep in the guest room. I’m getting better at feeding her without waking up completely unless she has belly pain. So, I get just as excited for Fridays (when Erik takes over) as someone who is working. TGIF!!
  • Speaking of TGIF, I can’t wait to go for lunch tomorrow to celebrate with a certain special birthday girl!
  • Just watched the movie “Stepbrothers”. It was hilarious, classic Will Ferrell kind of comedy. “Your voice is a mix between Fergie and Jesus”. haha! (Goulet!)
  • It looks like I might be going to the Keane concert alone. I don’t mind at all, I’ll just stand away from the crowd so I can see. I really don’t like going to see concerts at the “Annex”! It’s definitely not short person-friendly! I haven’t made up my mind completely, but I really want to see them live! I think Erik would come with me but getting a sitter two weeks in a row doesn’t seem like a possibility.
  • Has anyone else heard that they’re thinking of building a WalMart in Sundsvall (a city far (far) north of Stockholm)? I wouldn’t mind seeing this happen if they do it correctly. I’m hoping Starbucks will shortly follow, but I’m not holding my breath.
  • The other thing that I’ve heard rumours about lately is that Ben & Jerry’s is thinking about starting a line of ice cream made from breast milk. Don’t get me wrong, breast milk is a very natural product, but I think I would like to know whose bodily fluids I will be eating. I don’t think I would even eat it if I knew the contributor personally. :P

Sorry, I can’t help myself…

We are sinking!

I need to whip this blog into shape! There’s so much that I can update about, but I always think that I need to make a big production, then I drop it. I need a way to post the smaller bits of informatoin and keep myself on some sort of schedule. I was thinking of having days like “YouTube Tuesday” (posting interesting or favourite videos or even our own home movies) and “Thursday Thoughts” (a rundown of things that happened during the week that don’t really need a whole post of their own). That way I can keep things going around here.

I finally took the plunge and bought a MacBook. My old Dell got me through the last 4 years but its screen died on me about a month and a half ago. I held out long enough to see the new lines of the MacBook and the MacBook Pros be released. I’m glad I waited because they are gorgeous and just what I was waiting for. I heard that they will be introducing the 17″ in a few months but I just can’t wait that long, so I bought the 15.4″ one. Not too shabby.

Even though it’s not Tuesday, here is a video of a commercial that is regularly (read:obsessively) quoted around here. It’s funny that a good friend of mine is now working for the company, I totally forgot that it was a Berlitz commercial.
