Every once in awhile I just need to purge my brain of a bunch of unrelated information. It helps me control the crazy.
So, that being said, I apologize in advance for the disconnected randomness that’s about to happen.
It might be best to just nod your head and pretend like it all makes sense.
- TJ Maxx has really stepped it up with their selection of lamps.
- In the last few episodes of “The Hills,” Justin Bobby’s hair looked like Prince during the “When Doves Cry” era.
- Zaxby’s chocolate milkshakes are delicious.
- I think these kelly green shoes are adorable. But I wonder if I could ever incorporate them into my daily fashion routine.
Thoughts?
- The CMT Crossroads with John Mayer and Keith Urban is Music Happytown, and everybody needs to visit. I LOVE IT.
- Football season starts in six weeks. This is excellent news.
- I read an interview with Simon Cowell the other day. He said that he wouldn’t be surprised if Harry Connick, Jr. is the new judge on American Idol next year. DO WE DARE TO DREAM?
- David Crowder Band’s “Oh, Happiness” has become our theme song for the summer.
- I haven’t seen any of the Twilight movies. And I’m one of seven people currently residing in the US who still hasn’t seen The Blind Side. So I’m pretty sure that I’ll be asked to leave the country soon.
- Last night, right after I started putting the bedroom back together again, Alex told me that he was proud of me for finishing with painting. Then he said, “You know, Mama, I’m SO proud of you that I think I may have to cook you breakfast in the morning.”
And then: “But Mama? I don’t really know how that would work out since I can’t cook.”
Bless him.

If HCJ was the new judge on AI, all of my hopes and dreams would be fulfilled.
I used alot of acronyms up there. Me and acronyms are MFEO.
TTYL.
You haven’t seen The Blindside? Gasp! Also, I used to like John Mayer but he ran his ugly mouth so much that I think he is on the same level as a compost pile. Except not as useful.
First off, since randomness is my everyday norm, I’m loving this post. It made just fine sense to me.
The shoes are adorable. They’d look great with a black dress or black capris or jeans. If you want to go all 80′s, then rock ‘em out with something hot pink (does anyone else miss Pappagallo?).
Not only have I not seen the “Twilight” movies, I haven’t read the books. I feel pretty good about that.
I also haven’t seen “Blindside” but not for lack of interest, just lack of time.
And, embarassingly enough, I have never watched AI, but oh my if Harry Connick Jr is on? I will be a faithful fan. I would pay to hear him sing names from the phone book.
Finally, your boy sounds like a sweetheart. Could you please bottle some of that and send it my way as my almost 8 yr.old boy child is currently on an attitude path that is making me crazier than normal.
Thanks so much for your writings. I don’t comment much but I so love reading what you have to say.
I agree with you on the vampire stuff, I don’t read it and I don’t watch any of it. Football, I can’t wait for some SEC football, and don’t kill me, BUT (GO GATORS!!!!!)
The Blindside though, I agree with everyone else, it is a must see.
Also, maybe I am the only other adult in our “age range” LOL that watches The Hills and The City, but OH MY WORD at the finales. I dvr’d them and watched once everyone else was asleep, because I knew I’d cry, and I did. Sigh. Anywho, it’s Big Brother time, and I have GOT TO KNOW who the Saboteur is, LOL:)
I love the kelly green shoes. I recently purchases some cute green shoes in a similar color. I plan to wear them, as I do all my brightly colored shoes, with outfits that lack color. Jeans, a brown blouse, and bright green shoes and an orange bag, or black dress pants, a grey shirt and purple shoes and a teal bag – I’m too scared of color to actually WEAR it much – I just carry it, or put it on my feet ;-)
I haven’t seen Twilight, I haven’t seen Blind Side (yet), and I don’t have a Facebook account. It is almost like I don’t even live in the USA.
If you are deported and decide on Canada, pick me up on the way. I have wanted to see it, but since I go to a movie a year and quit the netflix, the movie watching doesn’t happen too often. Maybe I’ll put it on my to do list for the weekend. Stuff happens when I write it down…
Oh BooMama! As an SEC football fan…”The Blind Side” is a must. You will need tissues…but is one of those movies I can watch over and over.
The green shoes…I say BUY THEM! They are precious…and I think you would probably find things in your closet that would go with them. Of course, I have been known to buy shoes before I had an outfit to go with them…so take this advice with a grain of salt! ;-)
Are you serious? Simon said that? HCJ would make me watch the show no matter how bad the season was. Let’s all hope.
I’m with every other commenter: See The Blind Side NOW.
Twilight? It’s fine with me if you never see the movies.
Teach that boy how to cook so you can get breakfast in bed! So sweet.
please Sophie, as much as you love football, and for the sake of all humanity, watch The Blind Side soon. It will make your Top 10 favorite movies. and if you see it before football season starts back up, you’ll enjoy watching Michael Oher play for the Ravens. My kids and I root for him whenever we see him on the field now!
yeah….a friend who ALSO hasn’t seen The Blindside!
Love Alex…wish I could ” hear” him talk.
Bet it’s southern….just like his mama!
I have seen The Blind Side THREE times. I would drop everything I am doing right now and watch it a FOURTH time.
You MUST see it. And wear the new green shoes. It will be a red-letter event. I promise.
Ok, so you need to know that Wade and I are right there with you in not having seen The Blind Side (or the Twilight movies for that matter…)….and really unless someone knocks us over the head, ties us up and gags us, I’m pretty sure we won’t be seeing it anytime soon. He feels pretty strongly about it. In the meantime…EA Sports College Football came out Tuesday, and you should totally see how cool the jumbotron looks! Go Dawgs!! Love you from AZ!
Dear Random,
Gasping with the giggles… those are some seriously disconnected thoughts, hon! Strangely, I feel like I’m taking a peek inside my own scattered thoughts!
Love,
Understands The Feeling in NE
I think Harry Conick Jr is SEXY. If he was on AI, I’d definitely try out even though I can’t sing as well as they look for. LOL
I love those shoes.. I say GO FOR IT! (coming from a shopaholic)

YOU MUST SEE THE BLINDSIDE.
YOU MUST.
REALLY!
It’s terrific. I wasn’t dying to see it either, and finally rented it on DVD. You will truly love it. You, of all people, will so appreciate all the football references!
Totally buy the green shoes – I bought a sassy green jacket on a recommendation from YOU a while back and love that thing to pieces – green is perfection with denim or khaki!
Don’t even think twice about the Twilight foolishness – creepy stuff.
BUT Blindside – you need to watch it just like you are about to see a football game. The Touhy’s (real people basis of story) are in Dallas this week and on local Christian radio – they are SO wonderful – what a hoot. Must see this movie
other thing – that boy of yours – is SOOO stinkin’ adorable – I think there are women with young daughters out there plotting to stalk him once he gets of marryin’ age! (of course that is like 30-40 isn’t it?)
Almost the end – wanted to say- Miz Sophie – thanks for blogging – you make me smile
I’m with you on Twilight and The Blind Side. I haven’t seen either or any of those, I should say.
The green shoes are adorable but I have no idea what in the world I’d wear them with!
I had the exact same shoe quandry a while back. I found these ADORABLE shoes that were like a floral pattern – kelly green, orange, yellow – sounds ugly, but they were ADORABLE little wedges. I talked myself out of them because of the “impracticality of fitting them into my wardrobe”. Then one day I walked into another store (same store, different town) and they had the shoes in my size on the clearance rack. But by then I was BROKE (and my husband was with me). MUCH harder to sneak the shoes into the house if he’s with you when you buy them. :) It’s also REALLY hard with green floral wedges to say, “What? THESE? I’ve had THESE for AGES and AGES!!!” :) haha!
OH, and I’m apparently the second of the 7 people in the US who hasn’t seen The Blind Side OR any of the Twilight movies. And I’m ok with that. We seriously never watch movies. It’s not because we don’t like them. We used to watch tons and tons of them. But now we both work full time and have a two year old. When we get free moments, we sit and stare into nothingness. :) I had this conversation with my sister-in-law (who is ten years younger than I – gasp!) just today:
Her: “Have you seen X movie?”
Me: “No, you know we never get around to watching movies.”
Her: “OH yeah. Y’all don’t watch movies. Y’all read BOOKS.” (And “read books” was said with the same disgust one would say, “eat your own poop”.
HAHAHAHA!!!
OH DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT get those shoes….
I have a pair. A black pair. I’ve had them for about three years. I thought they were super cute. They do not stay on your feet. I think I have almost broken my ankle twice attempting to wear those things.
Catching up while on vacation-
I LOVE that you karate chopped your pillows.
You are one of 8 people who has not seen The Blind Side. I also never saw The Passion.
I think a lovely photo of the trees would be one of you looking up through the branches. Well, not necessarily YOU, but the you in perspective.
I have no idea where you would find one of those.
ahhhhh….he wants to cook for you! well i say get that boy in the kitchen! my husband started cooking at age 6 to help his mom and he is THE cook! you’ll love it!
HC Jr? Yes!
Shoes? Yes!
Breakfast? Teach your sweet young man to cook bacon in the microwave, have a can of aerosol waffles or pancakes (they have it at Walmart) on hand & a waffle iron he can safely use, and have some OJ he can mix up & voila! You baby CAN make you breakfast, and some day in the long, distant future, his wife will thank you, too. You’ll be her favorite MIL in the whole wide world.
