Randomness on a Saturday Morning

I got an order in from ThinkGeek this past weekend (you already saw the hoodie from that), but the real reason for the order was that an item I’d been waiting on had come back into stock. (I could have bought it elsewhere, but it would have cost me $30 more, and I felt that was silly.) The new pretty is my Converge Docking Station for my iPad and iPhone. I’m totally in love with it.

Occasionally, I find myself realizing I was doing something in a rather idiotic manner. For instance, while using my sewing machine I was annoyed by a pin that kept hitting my thumb as I tried to guide fabric past the needle. Then I realized it was a simple fact of me holding the excess fabric to the wrong side (Do they make left handed sewing machines?) Or, when I needed to pull the unique part numbers from a spreadsheet from work, and in a mental lapse I totally spaced that I could sort the part numbers, and remove all duplicates to get down to the required numbers…. instead of going through each grouping and checking to see if I’d already gotten that number. Does that ever happen to you? Simple things you stupidly over complicate? I assume it can’t be just me…. but you never know.

Sometime in 2010 (I think) I stopped using the face wash I’d come to love. I’m not sure why. But At some point I stepped away from it in favor of something else and though that something else never really worked as well, it’s taken me this long to go back. As a result, I’m  working on a small project – probably only for myself, maybe I’ll share it on here – to see the difference this makes. In case you’re wondering, I went back to Aveeno Positively Radiant (and I’m betting somewhere along the line I thought it was silly to pay as much as I do for the face wash/moisturizer combined.)

This morning, I’m doing dishes, I’m doing laundry, I’m CLEANING ALL THE THINGS!!! (And of course I’m dusting because…. well, if you’ve never lived in a desert, you wouldn’t understand, but OMG THE DUST!) It’s a never ending cycle, isn’t it? I think the dishes are my least favorite. What’s yours?
