That's what a blog is for right??? Random thoughts, prayers and so on ... I find myself thinking throughout the day, "Oh I could blog about that ..." Life is crazy and here are some of my thoughts on the craziness ...
Today in 7th grade science we dissected a sheep's eyeball. Yep, there it was ... an over-sized grape looking thing, all fatty and slimey ... the whole room smelled like science, that weird-formaldehyde-smell ... you know the one ... and you are shaking your head with me trying NOT to remember what that smells like. Our eyeball even had eyelashes still ... and I started to think about that sheep ... God bless his blind little sheepy self ... and I thought about how his life was ... maybe her life ... eyelashes were quite long after all. I really don't think that dissection was the purpose God intended for that sheep's life. I don't think God put animals on this planet for us to slaughter in horrific ways just to have a burger ... or a lamb chop. The entire process really upset me actually ... I felt nauseas at one point even. I still do. I wonder what that eyeball saw in its lifetime ... makes me sad to think of everything it didn't see.
Right now we are all at the kitchen table ... well, not Caloy ... he is cooking dinner. Matthew and Gracie are eating mac and cheese ... with cauliflower puree hiding in it! Yes! I steamed the heck out of a head of cauliflower, pureed it in my blender ... and we now add it to their meals without them knowing! How sneaky ... how clever!!! Em told me about a cookbook by Jerry Seinfeld's wife called, "Deceptively Delicious" ... I can't wait to buy it! Whatever it takes to get the veggies in man! I'll do it.
Wow, from sheep's eyes to mac and cheese ... hmmmm ... what else can I blog about???
Matthew brought home a paper from school on Valentine's Day ... a red paper with hearts on it ... and it read just like this;
My mom is craz and fune.
Crazy and funny??? YES! How awesome is that? I am framing it and will have it forever. I love that Matthew described me like that. It could have said fat and zitty or a mean-nut-jub ... but nope, my boy thinks his mama is crazy and funny. That just made my day ... my week ... my life.
Baseball season is right around the corner ... can you hear the roar of the crowd and smell the guy behind you that just burped beer and hot dogs??? I LOVE BASEBALL! The Dodgers have a NEW manager this year and I am soo thrilled. I think it is the greatest development for the boys in blue since they had Tommy Lasorda and won the World Series in 1988. Joe Torre from the Yankees is now in LA and I am sooooooooooo stoked. Big changes coming ... I can feel it. I LOVE THE DODGERS~~!
Oh ... and to my "dear friend" ... Thank you for being about to rap "Supersonic" with me at a moments notice ... Always telling me I have bad breath ... saying you are kidding, but I know you mean it. For years of memories about a guy that told you that you wear your pants too high ... I don't think he was joking ... because you do. For pretending that you are a sports fan ... its really cute when you recite something your Dad or husband has told you. Thank you for making fun of my tom-boy-ish-ness ... remember when we used to watch G.L.O.W.?? Thank you for your honesty ... "my dear friend???" I love you.
First round of American Idol cuts are tonight ... maybe because at one point of my life I would have auditioned and known other people who did so, that is why I love the show so much? Dumb, I know ... Lu-hooo-suh-ur.
Thank you Lord for this day, for the craziness, my family and friends, for the beauty that abounds in life, for sheep, the Dodgers and American Idol. I love you Lord. Amen.
