Time for a random list...


  • I woke up to snow again today.  I think that's three times in the last week?  It seriously makes me laugh out loud when I go outside and find snow.  In March.  In Western Washington. It's not been bad enough to wreak havoc on the roads - just enough to make everything pretty and white.
  • I got my new iPad.  It's lovely.  I also got the red smart cover.  Big surprise if you know me at all.
  • I have a new found love of Instagram.  I'm ohstop1.  Follow me if you don't already and tell me your name if I don't already follow you. It's just fun.
  • My upstairs neighbor got a dog.  So annoying. I'm beyond tired of condo living.
  • I have a new mascara that I am loving - it's called "They're Real" and it's made by Benefit. I first heard about it on this fabulous blog and decided to make the switch from the mascara I've been using for the last 20 years (no, not the same tube - that would be disgusting.)  I love this mascara because it's long wearing but not waterproof so easier to remove at night.  I also love that it makes even those short little lashes in the corners of your eyes look longer.
  • Six plus weeks without Diet Coke. Who'd have ever thought?
  • I have tickets to see the amazing and fabulous Kristin Chenoweth in concert in a couple of months.  I cannot wait. I'm going with Lynda and Tyler and Jeni who will be celebrating their 14th anniversary the night of the concert.  I seriously cannot believe that 1. I've known them that long and 2. that they're old enough to be married that long.
  • I haven't read any of The Hunger Games books but I think I still want to see the movie.  I want to read the books but I just can't seem to make time for reading right now. However, I just learned that I can borrow the book for free on my Kindle because I have Amazon Prime.  I heart Amazon Prime.  
  • Speaking of books, my mom just read Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and it is now one of her all time favorite books.  If you're a reader, maybe you should give it a whirl.
  • And if you'd like to read a simply amazing testament to the power that comes from reading the Book of Mormon, please go to my friend Michelle's blog and read about her brilliant son Stefan and the ACT.  Michelle and her husband are raising truly incredible children.

Thank you for sharing that sweet story about Stefan. I hope my kids turn out half so well.

I read about that mascara on Natalie's blog too. Good to know that it works as well as she said. Maybe I should give it a whirl.

6 weeks is amazing! You will have to do a blog about the concert. Sounds good!
