Our local grocery store sells giant marshmallows, each one about the size of a baseball. This was our first experience with my daughters cooking s'mores, and while they loved the cooking process, the princesses didn't enjoy the "gooey" getting all over them. So for three nights in a row, I ended up eating 3 people's servings of s'mores. When I got on the scale after the trip, I was shocked (not really) to discover that I had gained 10 LBS. (!!!!!) on our trip. YIKES... I'm not sure I'll ever eat another s'more again, but certainly not one made with a marshmallow the size of a baseball, and certainly not 3 of them!!!Johnna Brunenkanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639793761714908119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855892413122659715.post-7652377458523732572010-09-09T10:26:21.365-07:002010-09-09T10:26:21.365-07:00I loved reading this.

Love that your sweet boy gave you a hug....he's a keeper. <br /><br />Love that you are considering skinny jeans. You rock! <br /><br />I'm dying to know your news.

In the meantime, I hope the treatment for your back relieves the pain.<br /><br />I've been scared of skinny jeans because, although I am technically "skinny," my rear is not. But it seems like you got several positive comments about them, so I'm thinking maybe I need to try a pair. Let me know how it goes for you.denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14874803613249348527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855892413122659715.post-6767729843598361172010-09-05T20:02:29.700-07:002010-09-05T20:02:29.700-07:00P.S.

I just laughed my way through the entire thing. The whole thing about Noah made me happier then happy. It just goes to show what a cool and amazing Mom you are. I love that he stopped and gave you that hug. You are raising good kids and it just makes me happy. And then the whole Josie thing and your "20 minutes younger"...happiness (and supper funny). Smiles and happiness. I love it all. And life is like a box of chocolates. Yep it is true. I worked on headbands for you this weekend (still not done..but see they are coming...just at slow Tasha rate because I seem to just have a problem with saying I will do a few too many things these past couple weeks) and I got to think about you while I made them. I think it is my favorite thing about making something for someone else. Anyways, this post just topped it all off. Hope your next week is a good one my friend. Thanks for rambling. Do it again sometime. This just made me happy.Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697629062368448156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855892413122659715.post-71452572131211352702010-09-05T11:55:24.198-07:002010-09-05T11:55:24.198-07:00That was a great post...I relate totally to the ra...That was a great post...I relate totally to the randomness of never knowing what you will get--<br /><br />*I love that Noah hugged you in front of anybody who might see.<br /><br />*I HATE that you have a secret and won't tell...that kills me...but I will wait for the good news (secretly hoping it means you will be moving east...)<br /><br />*I have had an MRI so I can relate to the freakiness of it all. Sorry about your back pain.<br /><br />*I LOVE my skinny jeans (and you know from my WIWW posts that I am NOT skinny)--but they are the MOST comfortable jeans I have!!! And I mean it. Got mine at Ann Taylor LOFT...modern skinny.

Thank you for that first...I love your random post.<br /><br />Thank you for that first paragraph where you talked about God wanting him to go, and you just missing him. That's what I feel like with my Evie going to kindergarten. She is so excited and instead of me being all depressed and anxious about her going, I should be excited too! I should be praising God that she is so excited! Thank you for this reminder. 2 days...(not that I'm counting)<br /><br />MRI...YES! I have had one. On my head. I was having these headaches and weird tingling feelings so they gave me an MRI on my head. Had NO clue it was going to be so loud. It was freaky!<br /><br />Skinny jeans...Get them. I bought a pair last year and I do NOT have the hips or thighs to pull off skinny jeans. Trust me. I'm short with a good sized bootie. BUT I bought them to wear with boots and they are fantastic. Now, I would never wear them with flats, but love them with boots. I think you should get a pair.<br /><br />Have a wonderful holiday and can't wait to hear your news!staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691383741205469117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855892413122659715.post-71048067862358012702010-09-04T21:18:36.094-07:002010-09-04T21:18:36.094-07:00I love random posts.

I am teaching at the school, so it's not quite as weird as it would otherwise be. One day my 6th grader left his line on the playground to come over and hug and kiss me. He said, "The guys in my class didn't believe you were my mom. They said, 'prove it', and Mr. P (his teacher) nodded, so I came over here to prove it." He's never embarrassed to hug and kiss me. I'm very lucky that way. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369753407209644146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855892413122659715.post-20184909624148211512010-09-04T19:32:29.830-07:002010-09-04T19:32:29.830-07:00Ok - I have to say that this ramble is one of my f...Ok - I have to say that this ramble is one of my fave blog posts ever.
