The 10 spot

1. It's hard for me to believe that it's been 2 weeks since Aiden started school. It's practically mid-September. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are just around the corner. Where has all the time gone? But I couldn't be more thrilled. The weather is fantastic and Fall IS my favorite time of year.

2. Last week I was convinced that I had accidentally put in Jamie's contacts instead of my own (eww, I know... But it has happened once before...) But now I'm convinced that I've gone blind practically overnight. Seriously. Last Tuesday things were blurry and I blamed it own tired eyes. Wednesday I left work with a major migraine, blurry vision, and had my blood pressure checked just in case. It was normal. A week later, the blurry vision continues. What stinks is... Do I give in and have my vision checked even though my glasses are practically new and I have an entire box of untouched contacts? (knowing that both will have to be replaced before I can see again) OR do I suck it up? Right now I have all intentions of sucking it up and getting the most out of my glasses and contacts.

3. If Nalgene or Kleen Kantene are my new BFF, then Sigg's would definitely be my ex-BFF. Last summer/fall they stopped internet sales of their water bottles because they supposedly couldn't keep up with the demand of sales to businesses, let alone individuals. During such time, I had to pay an arm & a leg for mine from another site. And now, a year later, they released notice that tests ran during that very same period found that the supposedly BPA free lining wasn't so BPA free after all. They've since starting producing an eco-friendly lining, ironically at the same time they started internet sales again. Just all seems too coincidental to me... You just can't tell me they didn't know about the BPA thing. I think if they were more willing to replace these bottles, then I would be okay with the Sigg company. But they aren't, and I'm not. So, I'm breaking up with them, officially.

4. Hold your applause until the end, but I've just synced my very first playlist to ipod. No. The ipod is not new. It's been sitting in my car for 6 months now and in the cabinet for 6 months prior to that. But I'm thrilled to have more options than 1 Sheryl Crow song and Barry Manilow for running purposes. I feel that my workouts will take on a new meaning after this!

5. Did I mention I'm finally back into running. Yeah. It's a slow process, building back up. But I'm thrilled to be trying again. Now if I just weren't so out of shape! Ugh!

6. Why is it that just before your scheduled for a manicure your nails begin to chip and break?

7. Dope, I think Aiden just feel off the bed. Either that or the sky really is falling, Chicken Little. Question is: Do I go check on him or wait for a cry? So far it appears that I'm waiting for a cry ...no cry so far. Hmm, I hope he's still alive ...still nothing, huh.

8. Kindergarten is going well for Aiden. Kinda, sorta. I feel that I may be completely qualified to write a book on creative discipline after this though. Currently, we have our son completing "community service" hours in effort to learn that "our hands are for helping."

9. By the way, we're accepting applications and suggestions for community service activities for a qualified 5 year old, accompanied by a professional supervising parental figure. It's harder than it looks finding projects for him. If we could just get one good hurricane this year, we'd have our work cut out for us in way of limb collection projects!

10. I am so completely thankful for a short week. 3 crumby days left!
