Random thoughts on a Thursday

Oh to be this kitty cat tickling the ivories… do you think this is Marie, Toulouse or Berlioz? Image from Tumblr.

• I was dipping the bread part of my corned beef sandwich into my hot coffee this morning when a chunk of beef fell into my cup. I forgot about it until I was sipping up the last drops of coffee. Corned beef soaked in coffee does not taste good.

• The (relatively) newly open Forever 21 at SM Megamall has been getting a lot of buzz. I finally got to check it out last weekend and found myself prey to its wares. Gah. I love the clothes I bought, but am not so sure about the quality. Let’s see how long they last.

• I tried out A&W Soda Pops from S&R. Nothing super spectacular. It’s like you poured down Coke into ice candy bags and froze it. Hey maybe I’ll do that this weekend. Cheaper too!

• When I was preparing for work this morning, I could hear my son crying in bed “Baba! Baba!” Oh, the life of a working Mom. We played a little bit before I started preparing again, and he was pretty satisfied with that. Mornings are really the toughest.

• I have two books on my work desk: “Keeping Life Simple” and “Simplify Your Life.” They are surrounded by a clutter of documents, a full calendar, a bunch of calling cards, two work notebooks, unread letters and some bills. Ah, the irony of it all.

One more day then it’s the weekend! How’s your week so far?

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu, and I've been blogging at at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
