I’m having a hard time concentrating today, so this is what you’re getting. And you’re getting it about 5 hours later than I intended:
- There’s a lot of chatter in the office. It’s not helping today.
- Chips & salsa will fix almost any problem, except the thing about not being able to concentrate.
- Is there such a thing as a mental nap? And, if so, how can I take one?
- I like memoirs… have I mentioned that before? Last night I started reading “Lit” by mary karr while sipping some Moscato. Oh the irony.
- The weather will be in the high 80s tomorrow, and I’ll be cashing in my comp-time. Should I pull out that bikini & go to the beach?
- The vast majority of the time, I really enjoy working with my husband. Like this moment, where his voice suddenly contributes to the office chatter and it sounds soothing and comforting to my otherwise post-overwhelmination overwhelmed brain.
- In the past week, I’ve found out that two friends are expecting. And I’m genuinely happy for them. Excited, actually. I think this means my heart is in a good place with our infertility. In fact, I KNOW it.
- Hi mom and dad.

Ok I am a little jealous you have the option today to put on your swimsuit and go to the beach tomorrow. I’m shivering in my turtleneck sweater dress inside the office.
Chips and salsa: if there is an office potluck you can bet that’s what i’ll sign up for! I have a yummy recipe for mango salsa!
Must. Have. Recipe.

mmmmm
I appreciate the transitional tone of this blog, it reminds me of how my brain operates daily. I think that anytime you have the opportunity to take off to the ocean, take off with reckless abandon. If you achieve the mental nap, I’ll pay you in chips & salsa to share the secret. It’s incredibly mature of you to be joyful for your friends, I honestly have no clue how I would be able to get to such a place were I in a similar situation. One more thing, I love how the tags on this blog are stress, salsa, time…sounds like the title of a great book:)
Hey kendra!! Thanks for stopping by – I enjoyed your equally rambling comment.
And, I’ll let you know if I ever find a way to take a mental nap. Honestly, I think it’d involve a slow walk on the beach… So, if I get there tomorrow, I’ll give it a go.
If that doesn’t work, yardwork may be the answer…if nothing else it clears the mind, well, and the yard.
Sounds like you’ve seen my yard…
In addition to the salsa, home made guacamole works wonders too.
mmmmm for both! Thanks Jessica!!
Overwhelmination…..my new favorite word.
Oh, and THREADED COMMENTS……get em
.
I thought I has them…
Ok, how bout subscribe to comments?? Or Disqus? Or IntenseDebate? Really, something that will email me when there is a reply….ya know, in case there is a life and death question posed to me on your blog…..As you can see, it’s a day or 2 later that I remember to check back
.
LOL!! Unfortunately, I use the free wordpress.com hosting, so I don’t have the ability to use plugins. Hence, the lack of notification if there’s a response… Will check the budget for wordpress.org hosting $$ and see what we come up with.
Ok, now I thought I was pretty good at this stuff….I come to mandythompson dot com, not mandythompson dot wordpress dot com. So, you’re self-hosted somewhere, right?
Nope. I have inadvertently deceived you. I just have the custom url feature set up. Costs like… i don’t know…. a few bucks a year?
