Monday Randoms

So today, I'd rather be posting along with Rachel @ Future Pastor's Wife and her "Meetings, Marriages & Memories", which she so sweetly suckered me into convinced me to write, but I have some business to attend to, and some extra randomness for a Monday.

• First of all, I would like to thank all of you who participated in my poll/name the stroller contest!  

          Let me be the first to introduce you all to our Triple Jogging Stroller: "Hercules aka Herky" {not 'He'cules, sorry for the spelling error}

submitted by Jessica {Lamb} Van Der Molen!!!

Jessica is not a bloggy, but a real live friend, formerly crazy college roommate, still crazy, but  no longer my roomie ;) Living with Jessica was beautiful madness, truly. She loved "20 minute naps" at 11pm before she "studied".  Imagine with me, will you, how true madness ensued in my life as Jessica and her boyfriend Jesse {not MY Jesse} discussed me and MY Jesse. She and her Jesse recently moved to Dallas on an adventure just the two of them, and I am sooo excited for them. So Jess, I need your new addy so I can send you your $5 Starbucks gift card! Congrats!! It's the perfect name, I am so glad you know me so well :)

• In other news.....I'm glad I broke out the argyle socks. The flurries weren't-a-kiddin' this weekend. SERIOUSLY?!?! Where's the global warming now, Mr. Gore?!   If you look closely in the picture you can see the pumpkins on the front stoop across the street making angry faces...

• Those sweet little babies from Friday cheered the Hawkeyes on to a 28-30 victory over Michigan on Saturday night. A little too close for comfort, but we can't be too picky about winning, right?? 6 & 0, baby....what's that I smell....is it Roses??? The sweet babies in the sweatshirts won it for 'em...I'm just sure :)
• Because I can't bring my "A" game everyday, that would just be too taxing, on Thursday night, after visiting with a couple of friends at a candle party, I stopped by the big Red Bullseye.....you know, Target. And on my way out {@ 8:30p}....I stopped by Starbucks to buy a giftcard and a bevvie, and realized I had misplaced my keys...big shocker.  Only for the first time  {I honestly think in my whole life} they were no where to be found......gone-zo. My sister-in-law graciously picked me up...{10:15pm} Definitely not one of my finer moments....oh, if I only had a brain...
• Speaking of the Wizard of Oz, on Friday evening, my mother-in-law, sisters-in-law and I enjoyed a Girls Night Out, seeing Wicked. I gotta tell ya....it was just as good the 3rd time as it was the first 2. And..........I didn't fall down the stairs.
• And to wrap up the day.....

Does it seriously get any cuter than this?!?!

I just smile when I see them together like this, even though I should probably worry about what they're plotting against me ;)

Tomorrow I'll be back with my first edition of MM&M...I hope Rachel doesn't mind that I put it off a day...but I'm gonna have to dust off the ol' creative writing skills for this one :)
