Ramblings of a Thirty-Something

Today, on the first Fabulously Fun Friday of the summer, my sister and I went to Red Robin. We both tend to talk a lot when we eat, and for some reason today, we kept talking about what  we were eating, too. I am sure it was very entertaining for anyone dining near us. Here are the thoughts we had {that we said out loud } while eating at Red Robin. #1:  Why didn't I cut this burger in half? #2:  Why did I take out the little stick thing? #3:  Can we have some more napkins? #4:  Oooo, seasoned salt! #5:  I don't think I got any burger in that bite. #6:  Are my hands really this small? #7:  I'm scared to put this burger down. #8:  Can we have more napkins? #9:  I think there's more of the top bun left than the bottom. #10:  Oh, so the whole strip of bacon is coming out. Okay, that's cool. #11:  I didn't mentally prepare myself for this. #12:  Can we have more napkins? #13:  Wait--you really want to give me more fries? #14:  This doesn't even l

In case you have no idea where this inane rambling is coming from, I posted on Monday that I'm trying to keep to a "summer schedule" {i.e., keeping my productivity going through the summer}. If you missed it, here is the schedule I am using; I had mentioned in my previous post that a hashtag would be kind of cool to have to track my progress. And my very creative cousin, Lisa Fink, came up with one: How cool is that???? She's an awesome teacher-person, too, so you can see where she is coming from:  it's like my summer homework for myself. But the even cooler part!!!! Now you, dear reader, can do this with me! If you want to tag along on my s

So you know how in the summer, you get on Facebook and Pinterest and people are posting pictures of all the amazingly fun things they have done? And you're like, "Gee, I wish I had the follow-through to start and finish one of those awesome summer bucket lists with my friends/significant other/children." And then you realize that whenever you do that it ultimately explodes in your face/slowly implodes over the course of the summer? Wait, that's just me? Well, aren't you all just amazing people. Seriously, I'm glad to know you. Maybe you could help me! Or at least check in with me over the summer to see how my attempt is going. I've decided to try an easy one I saw on Pinterest. I had actually pinned it awhile ago, and rather than it being an actual "bucket list," it's more of a daily breakdown for the summer. I'm actually pretty excited because I can feel productive {I know, I'm that crazy person who needs to feel productive
