2- What I've Done by Linkin Park
3- When people hear "organic" they think of the 70's and cardboard tasting food. It is SO opposite of that! The kids at school turn their noses up at my kids when they say they eat organically, but then they end up asking for one of their homemade cookies or a bite of their sandwich at lunch!
4- Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park. I think this is my favorite song. Will they use it for Twilight?
Currently I am obsessed with Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Possess Your Heart" too
5- I'm thinking about not voting in the election. Besides being my birthday, I don't necessarily like any choices. No one has any good answers. I fear for my children's futures.
6- I am working on some things for my [shop]. I have no idea what to call it or when it will be done.
7- My stomach is really upset today.
8- I usually draw cute little doodles on my kids' napkins and stick them in their lunches. So I AM drawing every day! I even doodle in the car. Usually it's around the note I jotted because I heard a good song on the radio.
9- If you've shared a struggle with me lately, just know I'm thinking about you and your loved ones! You know who you are.
10- I told Kathy that I baked thumbprint cookies with orange fig jam in them. I used to make them when I was a teenager. They were good. And they're gone.
11- Some lady yelled at me in the street today for no reason. I am the nicest person ever but I wanted to punch her. Don't mess with me!
12- I ended up talking to the nicest lady at my grocery who took over the organic aisle. Her daughter is going to college for sustainable agriculture. There are cool people in this world.
13- It's raining today.
14- I have hundreds of lion drawings to scan in...still.
15- We're going to visit Craig's family to celebrate his parents' 40th wedding anniversary. It's bizarre to think that it's a rare day in these times to celebrate long anniversaries. I still am in mourning over my parents' divorce which was 23 years or so ago. Don't tell me that divorce doesn't ruin a kid. I am happy that they are both remarried. But the family was destroyed by it.
16- Sanrio makes a Hello Kitty pen/pencil combo that is awesome. I had a Chococat one for 10 or so years that Caroline took to use. It finally ran out of lead and I found a new one, but then realized they're refillable. And they have an eraser at the end. I never knew it. Leave it to a kid to figure that out! (My first tax-paying job was at the Rainbow Shop... we sold Hello Kitty stuff!)
17- I dreamt last night that I was playing the piano with a rock group. Everyone else was playing guitar. I started playing guitar too and they all stopped and just looked at me. I said I just couldn't do the piano part... I stunk! We breaked for lunch and I woke up. I have no musical ability whatsoever. What did THIS dream mean???
18- I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

well there's certainly a lot going on with you - i just love linkin park - am gonna have a go at crochet too, especially the wavy kind - as in one of lucy lockets blogs - it just looks soo great! its horrible when people are nasty - just leaves you feeling a bit sad i think - why are people like that?
i think you are a very nice person!so just don't worry about the horrid ones - they are sooo not worth it!
hugs

Goodness! Your post title said it all! Hope you have a wonderful, albeit, rainy weekend, and thank goodness for the sweet organic aisle lady whose niceness hopefully erased the meanness from the lady on the street...who probably was aiming her own sadness and problems in a random direction which just happened to be you (so don't take it personally!) Congrats to your in-laws on their anniversary and enjoy the festivities!
life is so full of ups and downs. i hope you have more ups than downs this weekend. man that sounded like a halmark card. i meant it sincerely.
A very meaningful and thoughtful post today Bethany, thanks for sharing.
Sometimes people can be so nasty for no reason at all, it can really put a damper on your day, it can be hard to let it go sometimes as you keep thinking about it even hours later.
It is good to focus on the good things that happened, like your wonderful thumbprint cookies which apparently were terrific as they are all gone!
I think the one thing I really like about blogging is that at times we are all in the same boat, not so nice things happen to all of us and when we share those things it makes them seem not quite so horrible.
Have a good weekend my friend,
Hugs,
Kathy

It sounds like a hectic day!! You forgot that you emailed people!! Thank you for your message, it was much appreciated! I will reply over the weekend. I really hope you have a fantastic trip and Craig's parents enjoy their Ruby Wedding Anniversary!!
Thumbprint cookies are among my favorites (did I ever meet a cookie other than one containing peanuts that I didn't like??). I have raspberry jam in the making this evening. I think raspberry thumbprint cookies would be good, don't you?
Have a wonderful weekend, busy lady!
You have to vote! I agree with you that we aren't hearing lots of answers - just lots of rhetoric. But, you have to vote. Our democracy is built on it. We have the freedom and we have to exercise the right. I've heard three or four countdowns to the election tonight and I smile each time as I think of the day as your birthday:=) Enough of my soapbox...I love that you doodle on the kids' napkins. They should use them and same them. You could publish a book.
Have a good weekend and enjoy the time with your inlaws! I keep thinking of those thumbprint cookies. I might be the only one that eats them in this house. That would NOT be a good thing!
Oh what wonderful things to share. So honest! You seemed to be a bit in a gloom? Did writing things out help? I had a really hard week too. So today I got my hair done and went to Goodwill! I feel much better- doesn't really fix any problems but I do feel better!
I keep thinking that I don't want to vote either!!! I thought no one else felt this way. It will also be Jim and I's 5 yr (together not wedding) anniversary on that day. So we will both be celebrating. I do thing I will vote- Because I think its the right thing to do but its tuff!!!
Have a lovely weekend!!!

What a day !
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious !
Here we are Bethany !
Your ladies > frogs ! frogs now ! totally lost in the middle of the street... Oh Dear ! What a traffic today ! Ha ha ha ha ! I'm awful ;)
I would love to taste your cookies with orange fig jam :)
Enjoy your visit to Craig's family :)I wish them an happy 40th wedding anniversary !
Have a wonderful weekend :)))
What a great list of random things! As I write this the only random thing I can think of is that my dog Ruby is having a lovely snoring sleep outside the window and I can hardly make myself think! You would love to be here in my little town at the moment. A fantastic local farmer's market has just opened. I am so excited. I have sprooked to everyone who will listen to me that we have to support this business. I think he needs to pay me a commission or a spotters fee! Admittedly it's not all organic, although a large portion of it is. But it is going a long way towards making options available to us to reduce the amount of kilometers that are 'on' our food before we purchase them. I hope my town embraces this little change. Because it could be such a big change if they just give it a chance - Jen
Oh and I draw on my children's morning tea bags for school too. I'm sure the other kids must think that I'm nuts!
I haven't listened to linkin park in forever.... I used to listen to them a lot when I exercised... but that was 5 or 6 years ago! What are you crocheting? Hope you're having a great Sunday!
xox,

You HAVE to vote!! Even if you don't like everything about one candidate oer the next, you have to pick the one who most closely represents your values and will fight for the causes you believe in. If you do not vote you have no right to complain over ANYTHING political until the next election for the same office. How can you even consider not taking seriously the civic responsibility that so many have given their lives for? I know you better than this and know you have an opinion you want to be heard. It cannot be heard if you don't vote!! What better birthday gift to give yourself than exercising your right to free speach through your vote? None! If you are worried about Nathaniel and Caroline and their futures, you have to work on them now - by voting!! Your grandpa would be disappointed if you didn't. I'll come down from my soapbox now but please vote, if not for yourself then out of respect for all those who cannot in so many places in the world. Thank you!
