Random (Part 2)

Well, hello, friends.  Let’s welcome June with another random post.   

1.  My feet are so sunburnt, y’all.  It looks like someone slapped them.  I ran inside Publix barefoot yesterday, because shoes were not a bearable option.  After a vinegar bath, today has been much better, but I’m liable to cover my feet with socks next time I go to the beach.  They hurt like hello kitty. 

2.  We’re getting to reap the fruit of our Scott’s labor this week!

3.  After all your encouraging comments, I started The Help last week.  By the second paragraph of the first chapter, I was laughing out loud.  That Abileen is a mess.

4. I went on my first spend-the-night-away-from-Sam trip this past weekend.  A dear friend has a beach place in Orange Beach and graciously offered to take us girls down for a few days.  It was LOADS of fun, but, whew, my heart sure did ache for my boys.  I think it might be a little while before momma does anything solo again.  The Bubbas were missed!

5.  There has to be a hint of crack in Diet Dr. Pepper.  Intervention is needed.

6.  If my husband should ever move us out of Montgomery, I think I would beg suggest we move close to the beach.  Fairhope, AL would be my pick.  Just saying.

Beach with Girls

7.  I splurged on a bottle of new lotion the other day.  The last time I bought some good smellin’ lotion was the day before I got married.  So, here’s how I reasoned it: the only hair product I use is off-brand shampoo, I paint my own toenails, and I bathe with Target bar soap.  “I don’t think Scott will mind” is what I said to myself.  It smells so, so good.  No buyer’s remorse here.

8.  This John Bunyan quote never gets old to me:

“Run, John, run, the Law commands
But gives us neither feet nor hands.
Far better news the Gospel brings:
It bids us fly and gives us wings.”

9.  Does anyone know how long hydrangeas will live on the vine?  I picked these off my bush the other day, and their petals are already beginning to brown around the edges.  I guess I better get to picking?

Happy, happy Wednesday, everyone.

OUCH! Lavender my friend! Buy yourself a little bottle of pure lavender essential oil at GNC or any other health/natural store. Dump it on your feet (yup, right on). It will help tremendously with sunburns and even more with burns from cooking, curling irons, etc - takes the pain right out and helps it heal faster! It seems expensive but it lasts forever. One of my favorite natural remedies!
