queen of randomness

Maybe I have mentioned before that my roommate Emily (my first-year-of-college-Emily, not my second-year-of-college-Emily) accurately referred to me as the queen of randomness.

I have had so much on my mind lately. I know that doesn't make me unique, but it's just so much: 

• decision-making and depression in my family
• running my first half-marathon soon, and considering a full marathon
• friendships
• my annoying phone that I'm using because my pink one is missing
• birth politics and other topics I like to learn about (I am not pregnant)
• my girls fighting over things and screaming
• how I might use my degree someday
• my unfinished craft projects
• taxes
• pride
• homelessness
• obesity and disease
• our bathrooms that I need to clean
• the fact that I never feel like putting away the laundry
• the news
• the difficulties of relationships
• the decorating we haven't done
• my relative who recently finished his prison time
• radio stations and home-based businesses I would support if we had more income
• my grandpa's funeral at the end of January
• how nice it is to simplify our food by focusing on vegetables and fruits and using only a few coupons
• beauty and blessings
• whether or not I care about changing my blog template . . .

I figured I may as well share more randomness, shown in some of my January photos.

I used the JoAnn gift card from my sister, plus there was a sale, so this is about $84 worth of stuff and I only had to pay $27.

We visited a friend who lives about 2 hours away; her husband blessed their youngest and baptized their oldest.

Our big girl loves to make "computers" out of books.

I let her finish the oatmeal.

Saw this adorable dog while leaving the post office. My husband wants a pug.

Our church building.

Shboogoo had so much fun pushing her own cart.

I bought Shboogoo some new boots.

Snow on stone.
