friday five... it's been a while...

2:45 pm

So jeez, it's Friday already.  I keep feeling surprised at the way this year is just flying by.  It seems like before I know it, summer will be here, all sunshiny and warm and green.  Well, we have to get rid of all of this snow first, but I feel it coming.

This time of year just puts me in a mood to want to purge and clean and organize.  I look around and feel like everything is so messy and cluttered and grungy, I just want to simplify and clean.  I have so much unnecessary stuff.  I'm really going to purge.  Soonish.

On a completely unrelated note, apparently Dunkin' Donuts K-cup hot chocolate is seasonal!  That's a goddamn nightmare right there.  I pretty much have at least a cup every day!  I asked Kara to pick me up a box one day last weekend, and she came home and was like, they're discontinued.

So I panicked and drove all over the tri-state area to empty the shelves.  Because I really do like my hot cocoa!  I get very set in my ways.  I don't want to try another brand, I like the brand I like.  So I think I have myself covered for the next few months, as long as nobody else tries to use them.  I actually hid my hot cocoa.  I don't think that makes me a mean old mom.

Yesterday Brooke came home from school and said, "you have to play a game with me because I have no life."  She's so funny, that kid.  The problem is, she puts all of her eggs in one friend basket, and when that friend is busy, she's screwed.  I try to force her to branch out, but who knows what will happen there.  She definitely has her own ideas on things.

I just officially booked a get-away to Vegas, but I'm not too excited about it.  I guess I feel like it's a place I have to see at least once, but I'm really more interested in trying to go on a few days trips from there, see some interesting sights.  I'd really rather go to Utah or Montana I think - there are some National Parks that I'd love to go visit.  I'm pretty sure one of those places might be my next travel destination - maybe I can make that happen in June.

So, I suppose five minutes are up and it's time to wrap up this very scattered post.  Sorry it's all over the place, but that's me these days.  I need to settle down and focus.

Happy weekend!
