7QT of Pointlessness

one. Things I will never ever correct my kids saying:

• M: "Pet-za" for pizza.
• C: "Patter-rens" for patterns.

They are among my current favorite things. Every single day M loses one of her cutesie words and it just breaks my heart. I mean I know it's good she is progressing and building a great vocabulary but it's still hard.

two. Here's the thing, I love Growning Pains. I have a bunch of the seasons on DVD  and I just totally dig that show. In grad school, BJ Thomas came for a concert and he actually dedicated singing "As Long As We Got Each Other" to me. I am not kidding. (I'm pretty sure he also added it to the set list for me too.) So the passing of Alan Thicke saddens me greatly.

three. We watched Fuller House over the past week. I really enjoyed season one and I love Full House, but man, this season was rough. The majority of the episodes I felt like I was just losing brain cells, they were that dumb. But the last five or so episodes were really pretty good and I even got teary in the season finale. So... I grade the season a C? It is not must watch Netflix. Except the last few episodes. (And the cameo appearance of Alan Thicke was still dumb even in light of his death.)

four. We are getting a new couch sometime today! When we got married we bought a decent $300 couch and in the past year it has really been showing it's wear. Finally about two weeks ago some wire snapped or something and now it's really saggy. So we bought a new $300 couch! It has some improvements over the old couch. We figure if we get another six years, that'd be good. $50 a year is great. I see no reason to buy an expensive couch considering the age of our kids. Out of sheer curiosity, I looked online at the local rent-a-center and I couldn't rent a couch for cheaper than the new one!

five. I am almost done Christmas shopping. Normally I would be excited about that but this is really late for me and I am actually kind of stressed out about it. I decided to spread it out over many pay checks but I regret that. Next year I am going back to being done by Thanksgiving. Now to wrap. I am so bad at wrapping.

six. I know that this actually is the longest possible Advent but seriously this has been the longest Advent ever. I don't even know how we are still only on three candles!?

seven. We are expecting another storm (for the third weekend in a row...) but luckily Husband has the day off. So he took C to school and is taking M to art class. And then he is going to pick up C and go to the grocery store. I am on couch delivery duty. I am a little bit sad to miss art class but it's fun for M to get some special time with her dad. I get her to myself almost every morning so I can share.

Have a wonderful weekend!
