A sad and happy tangent Tuesday

Oh NO!!! I am so glad your treadmill is still working period but that stinks that the screen is broken. Mine has completely stopped work several times over the years and I hate it.

That photo of Brooke after her bath is the most precious thing ever. I bet you never stop smiling :)

I put off cleaning out my car.

Mountain air, suntan lotion, my grandparents kitchen at breakfast.

Tangent: just ate the chocolate chips out of a banana chocolate chip muffin.

I am OBSESSED with Alias! I watched the series from start to finish a couple of years ago and you have just reminded me to add it to my immediate to-do list! ;)
I always put laundry off. Then I put off putting it away and then it gets all wrinkled and I look like a sloppy mess (iron? what’s that). ahh boo laundry!

Brooke kind of looks like she belongs on the Jersey shore in that picture — she should totally use that as a Halloween costume!! :) Kidding. She’s adorable and probably smells just as fabulous as she looks.
I’m all about the smell of baking bread. Just thinking about it makes me all warm and happy inside.
I was putting off my laundry … now it’s in the dryer and I have ZERO motivation to fold it. Darn my foresight — I made getting all my laundry done within 24 hours a goal for the month of October … Can it be November already?? haha.
I am totally mourning the loss of your treadmill screen. Fingers crossed Billy can fix it!!! I’m totally with you on wanting to know the numbers — I did a track workout this morning, and while I know how many laps I did overall, I don’t enjoy knowing how fast I was going or where I can improve.

lol I hate doing laundry too but that’s because I have to pay for it in quarters and the machines are down in the basement… it’s such a pain.

Baby smell, hands down. Every baby gets a little sniff from me. They are just a big peace of heaven!! Once, while working in the ICU, a mother was in our unit from a complication. The nursery brought the baby over for her to see and I asked the parents if I could hold her. They didn’t speak English, but through simple words and pantomime the husband was very gracious to let me. As soon as I picked up the little miracle I put my nose right on her cheek and smelled! I remember it very distinctly because the dad giggled over it. He thought it was so funny that I was smelling his baby. (Mom was pretty sedated)

Have put off painting my bedroom for over a year. I still have the sample paint stripes on the wall.
Today, after I got my braces off (yeah!), I bit into a slice of deli turkey and one of my crowns fell out!! AARRRRGGGG! Luckily the dentist fit me in asap and my mouth is now full of teeth again.
I tried running without numbers, but I’m OCD too. I always look at the calories I burn even though I don’t really count calories. I just HAVE to know!!

I’ve generally been avoiding housework – specifically washing up and vacuuming. Chores are no fun!

Great smells – I love the smell of the sea, fresh seafood cooking, chocolate…

Oh nooooo, not the treadmill! Did you know (of course you don’t) that I just bought that exact same treadmill because you’ve had it for a while and love it so much? (Oh, and it also got other good reviews). You have put a lot of miles on that thing, so I can expect my screen to die in about 10 years, right?

Freshly cleaned babies smell so good!

I have been putting off the dishes. I hate doing dishes. A lot.

Hopefully you can get your treadmill fixed! I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

Thoughts and prayers with your treadmill, that is no bueno!

I grew up in Florida and whenever everything shut down due to a hurricane I always watched hours and hours of my best friends Alias dvds…so amazing!

Laundry is THEEEE worst chore ever! Whenever I have children I will tell them that for their chore they can either do laundry OR clean the ENTIRE house. Hopefully they will pick laundry haha

My favorite smell in the whole world is when Russian Olive trees are blooming in the spring. LOVE it so much! they should make a perfume from it! My hubby knows a Russian Olive tree would be the best gift in the world to me, but he’s resisting because it’s a trash-tree. It grows like a weed & has thorny bark. But i don’t care. I WANT ONE in my yard!

I’ve been putting off cleaning my car (it reeeeeaaallly needs to be vacuumed) and putting my clean clothes away. They are piled on a chair and on my dresser. I look at them and think, I really need to fold these, and then walk away and forgot about them until the next time I see them. :O

My earphones broke (the wire came loose because it was badly taken care of by its owner). Oh, well. I’m practicing running without music these days anyways.
Brooke is so adorable! ;)

oh no!!! my OCD brain would have completely fritzed out! but at least the belt runs and the display panel should be pretty ‘easy’ to fix. call up the people u ordered the treadmill from and ask them who u can speak with to get it looked at. i had bought my treadmill up in OR at Exercise Equip. Northwest and when i moved down to Cali i had a problem with the screen, i called them and even in another state they got a person to look at and fix my treadmill. good luck girl!

I love Alias!! Best show ever : ) so sorry about your treadmill.

Omg! That bath picture is the sweetest!!! Bummer about the treadmill. I can home from work and our water is out!! Can’t get it fixed til tomorrow. My hubby is super frustrated. We all went swimming because we can’t shower. Lol!

Nooooo! Seriously I would die if my treadmill bit the dust. And it probably will any day now, I have had it for a really long time (10 years ish). I’ve been meaning to ask you if you had a post about what kind of treadmill it is. I really like it and have been telling my husband to start saving b/c when the treadmill dies we will be going to buy a new one the next day. I hope you can get it fixed ASAP!
Brooke is such a doll.

Ahhhh, I recently broke my blackberyy :( I dropped in the sink while doing dishes and listening to music…. The treadmill sucks even worse!

I love the smells of subway shops, vanilla body spray and the cleaning aisle in the grocery store; I could stay in there for hours!

Love Donald Miller’s book. I also loved reading Blue Like Jazz, also written by him.

Way too many things to list. My office is a disaster zone. I just keep the door shut. Not okay. So impressed that you can read while you run. I would fall on my face in a heartbeat.

Hm…I put off everything except cooking dinner. And grocery shopping–because that gives me precious alone time where I’m not sweating! I stink at chores. There’s always so much more to do that seems important. Like blog reading!

Baby smell…definitely with you on that. And, honestly, now that I’ve decided to not have more children, I swear my friends babies smell even sweeter. :) Bottle some of that smell and send it around, kay?

Agreed – baby straight out of the bath is the best smell ever. Next favorite smell = my coffee brewing in the morning. Maybe this is because my sweet 5 month old still has erratic sleep habits. Ha.

What am I putting off? Let’s see where do I start. . . organizing my entire house and life might sum it all up. :)

I have searched every few weeks to see if Alias would pop up on Netflix. I don’t even know what the rest of your post said after you released that amazing bit of news. I used to run on the treadmill to my Alias DVDs but wore out half of them and I can’t wait to run watching Sydney kick all kids of ass again.

I like laundry smell! I love it when I go cycling or running outside and I can tell that someone’s going to have fluffy and warm clothes soon :)

I also like the smell of cookies, brownies, cake, cupcakes, banana bread, etc etc baking!

Cutest baby evaa! I used to love the smell of my Cabbage Patch doll back in the day – probably not anywhere near that of the real thing but I don’t have one of those yet.

Sorry to hear about your beloved.
