Nerd alert

As I mentioned a few weeks back, I re-read gone with the wind recently. I'm interested in the civil war to an excessive degree. It's just a fascinating time in our nation's history that, at first glance, seems to be a very straightforward conflict, but it really changed our nation in such complex ways... And I'm just nerdy and like it. The hoop skirts are fun too.
Anyway, just a few days after finishing Gone With the Wind, I saw the Civil War today app in the featured section of the app store.
The App store by the way is a very very dangerous place for me to visit. Very. 
The Civil War Today is a day by day account of what happened exactly 150 years ago in the civil war. You can't read ahead. So every day for 4 years, I'll get a virtual civil war "newspaper."
(if apps and iPads even exist in four years... Seriously? Can you imagine what's coming?)
Anyway, it details events of the day, has historical images from the time period, and my favorite, actual diary entries and letters from the people of that time. And way more.

Nerdy me really likes it. I will admit that I get a little lost in all the names and can't always keep track of what general is on what side, but overall, it's just...cool.
In the nerdiest way possible.

Mysterious

This coloredy thing was in the sky last night. Does anyone know what it's called?

Random Stuff

My computer keeps popping up the black screen of death. Scary.

Target has school supplies out. Enough said.

I've already bought 50 composition notebooks. Does it make me sick that I got kinda excited buying them? :)

Mason and grant wrestle now. You know? Play wrestle, like crazy monkeys...I am the mother of two boys. It's pretty amazing...

I think I'm gonna paint a room next week. I don't know which one but something. Would it be silly to paint a laundry room?

Grant cries every night at bedtime. He says he is scared of his bad dreams. Isn't that sad? I'm not sure where this came from or why but it breaks my heart... Poor little guy.

I am addicted to two things this summer: coffee and laffy taffy. Not together of course. But separately, i cannot possibly get enough!

I love that Kylah and I are running together in the mornings! It's so motivating! I know i wouldn't be running near as much without her. It's just such a great way to start the day!

I went shopping this weekend and bought a cute bench to refinish. I'll share pics!

This is the worst post ever!

I bought new bowls yesterday. They're so cute and make me so happy! Isn't that silly? I love the way they look in my cupboards! I took the doors off recently and I love that so much. Isn't it amazing how the littlest changes in your home can make you feel?

I suppose that's enough pointless rambling for today....

Cherries! Quite possibly my favorite fruit. Tasty and so very photogenic. :)
