Random Thoughts on a Friday Morning

• I'm about to make myself an egg sandwich but thought I'd blog first. Doesn't a fried egg sandwich sound so good right about now?
• My fingers are so cold and it's harder to type with cold fingers. I feel like I've forgotten what it's like to be toasty warm and hot even. All day I wear three or even four layers and still feel just a little chilled and that's when I'm inside. I do feel warm after a hot beverage or a hot shower but there's just so many hot beverages you can consume in a day and it's work to get in the shower (lots of layers). Lisa (my sis-in-law) loaned me the BEST hoodie. It's tie dye and I LOVE it. I might accidentally take it home with me. I'll try to get a picture. It's fabulous and extra warm.
• We spent the last two nights at Tim (O's brother) and Lisa's and Lisa doesn't usually eat meat. So, she made spaghetti and used a meat substitue in the sauce. As she dished up the kids' plates she said, "I wonder if the kids will be able to tell this isn't meat." Joe took about two bites and said, "This meat tastes like salad!" Cracked us up. Joe can pick out flavors in foods like nobody I know (except Ollie's dad--could it be genetic?).
• Bella is at 100% engraftment!!! This is thrilling but this progress has been obtained at a cost. Her little body is fighting Graft vs. Host disease and she is covered in a rash and blisters. Please pray that her engraftment holds and that she will have relief and healing from this painful rash.
• My new scrapbooking plan is working beautifully. My idea is to take some time off from paper scrapbooking and just make photo books. I'd like to make them in 3 month increments. So, I had already uploaded all the pics I wanted to scrapbook from Oct., Nov., and Dec. to Snapfish. I got an e-mail saying that photo books were 20% off until Feb. 5 so I went to the site and in about an hour I had made my photo book and ordered it. My plan is to have the pics or even the book already on Snapfish and wait for a sale or free shipping or something. I really like the books I've seen from Shutterfly too and may try it out to make a book of this trip. This trip definitely deserves a book of its own!
• I'm off to make that egg sandwich...
