Ten for Tuesday

1.  I think of all kinds of things I want to blog about, but when the time comes, I can't find the ideas.

2.  I'd love to write on our adoption blog, but I really don't know what to write about over there.  I'm really trying to not think about it,  so not sure what to say....other than I'm tired of waiting....surprise, surprise!

3.  What is it with this silly addiction I have to the most crazy reality shows.  I love me some Teen Mom, Jersey Shore, Ax Men, and Real Housewives of Anywhere.  They are such time wasters, but are my guilty pleasure!

4.  Grace is going to be in a play through her school in a couple months.  She'll only be singing, but she's very excited.  She's joining the chorus too, which is great, because she has a pretty good little voice!

5.  Bill is laying next to me snoring so badly.  I can't stand it.  He tells me if I'd just go to sleep it wouldn't bother me.  I can't help it that I stay up later...much like he can't help that he snores like crazy!  Gahhhhhhh.  I'm thinking it's not natural to want to punch your husband in the face while he's sleeping.  I'm so ashamed!  I reeeeeeally do love him!  No, really!!

6.  I've lost 8.5 pounds without a {whole} lot of effort.  I wish I could find the energy/motivation to exercise.  I did so well when I exercised before and I felt good!  It will come to me, I'm sure of it!  Just wish it would come sooner rather than later!

7.  I was cleaning out files from the last year and came across some invoices I had questioned from Washington University St Louis from the last IVF I did.  Since my insurance did not pay for IVF, we (my dad) had to pay for everything up front.  They also went ahead and billed my insurance for some stuff and my insurance paid it.  So, one of the fees has been paid twice.  WU says they accidentally billed the insurance and they would be giving them a refund.  Insurance says they should give me a refund.  This was from November 2010 and it's still not taken care of!  It's only a little over $500, but I don't think they should just be sitting on it.  I'd like to just forget about it and throw all the papers away, but I'm not happy with how they've handled the situation and refuse to give up.   I wonder how many times this happens that people don't catch it?!

8.  Getting my hair cut by my cousin Heidi this weekend.  The first time she cut it, she had just started cosmetology school.  It didn't turn out quite like I had hoped!  But, she has gotten pretty awesome and I can't wait to have her cut my hair again!  I'm ready to lose this long hair and go with something a little more fun!

9.  I hate when I am eating a 100 calorie pack of something or other and eat the.very.last.one. without even knowing it.  When I reach in the bag and it's empty I'm upset that I didn't take time to thouroughly enjoy the last one....anyone else get worked up over this??  I mean, you only have limited snacking with the small packs anyway....and if you don't get to savor that last bite??  Well, it's just....tragic.  Yes, I know there are far more important things to worry about.  Like Vinny leaving the Jersey Shore.  Ahem.

10.  Our winter has been insanely crazy!  We had a nearly 30 degree temperature drop today.  That's what the guy on tv said, anyway.  I've not actually took the time to check on the outside thermometer.  Isn't that what he's for?!  :)  It's been a very mild winter so far, which has been nice and given us some beautiful days, but I'm ready for some big snow!  

How 'bout you?!
