Ten on Tuesday

1.  Although I may have forsaken my blog lately, I did not forsake reality television.  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is over, but my, what a ride!  Real Housewives of New York was supposed to start up soon, but they are bumping it to bring in Real Housewives of Miami.  Can't wait!  The Bachelor is getting steamier, as he's now down to 4 girls.  I'm ready to pick for him, but he apparently has to agonize over every decision.  As long as he does it without his shirt on, I'm content to let him take the next few weeks to decide.

2.  I did not watch the Super Bowl.  I didn't even watch the commercials or half-time show.  Instead I went to the mall.  Super Bowl Sunday is a great day to shop!

3.  I bought these cute shoes that I had been coveting.  They come in some very lovely colors, including pink and my favorite shade of blue.  Alas, I was practical and bought them in a neutral color.  My shoe size is 9 1/2.  There is nothing pretty about drawing attention to boat feet by putting them in pink shoes.  Amen and amen.

4. My mom is safely back in Tennessee after having spent the last few days here with us.  We've had a lot of fun.  She and Rebecca have done a number of "projects" and have created several pieces of jewelry.

5.  We have all been stricken with some sort of virus that causes coughing, sore throat, and snot.  And snoring.  I was up late working on reports the other night and realized that every single soul in our house, including our dogs, were snoring.  Loudly.  Meanwhile, I was snorting and sucking on a cough drop while grading discussion question responses. 

6.  I have lamented before that I have not been buying much Baby Gap stuff since sometime last year.  Well, hallelujah, they came out with some cute stuff.  My mom and I couldn't resist.

7.  I have approximately 1000 pictures from birthday and Valentine's celebrations that I have not edited.  Yes, Rebecca turned four.  We celebrated for an entire week.  Eventually there will be blog proof of it. 

8.  Rebecca likes the smell of my deodorant.  She also likes to tickle me under the arm and then sniff me and exclaim, "do you have something that smells good under here?"  I realize that it could totally be worse.

9.  Rebecca's favorite word seems to be "including."  She likes to ask questions that solicit the names of several people or a list of items, and then she asks, "including ....x.....?" 

10.  I felt defensive and competitive about Rebecca's preschool Valentine's Party (I mean, their 'I Love Jesus' party).  Their handbook specifically says to not send candy to school.  The newsletter said they could bring Valentines to distribute at their party.  So we sent Disney Princess and Spiderman valentines.  She came home with valentines with candy and treats attached.  Instantly, I was thinking of the goodies I could have made so that she would have had the coolest valentines.  I know, I have a sickness.
