I am going to try this, it may work, it may elicit interesting comments, or no one will read. And that’s ok. I am one of those Type A people who’s brain is always going. Very rarely shuts off and this may be why I don’t sleep all that well. For the past few months I have contemplated doing a post about all the random thoughts that go through my head. I may do it once or it may become a semi-regular thing.
So here it goes. These are my thoughts, they are not directed at anyone, I mean no harm at any specific individuals this is just random things that have gone through my mind over the past few weeks:
I truly dislike wedding planning. I really don’t care about flowers, cake, who sits where and what color the tablecloths are. What I do care about is that we have a day filled with love, family, friends, good food and wine. Yes I am a crazy Type A who doesn’t let things go so I found some friends who are going to be my amazing day of coordinators who make sure the crazy stays away from me. They have the authority to make decisions and just get stuff done.
My mind is baffled by bloggers who are popular and do nothing with their days, don’t really have real recipes, have posts full of too many errors to count (not that mine are perfect but I do attempt to proof read) are working out every day of the week and eat 1200 calories. I just don’t understand and I am going to leave it at that.
Every night before bed I think about my to do list for the next day, for work, for life, for the blog, for me. It does help clear my mind a little.
In the past month I have had at least 5 people ask me what color I dye my hair. Not sure why that question has come up so much but I have actually never dyed my hair. This is my natural color and I have a few colors of blonde in my hair and a few strands of red. That’s just my hair color.
For the first time ever, I love my job. It makes me happy to go to work everyday.
To try to fall asleep I count backwards from 25. Wednesday night I did this at least 20 times and gave up. A bad night of sleep is just not fun!
Scott and I have had a lot of discussions about where life may go. To use a cliché expression we are On the Fence. We may do Option 1 or maybe Option 33. I can promise that it won’t be the “norm” (Image Source)
Any random thoughts you’ve had lately?

I love your random thoughts!
I like this post a lot!
I hate bad nights of sleep too, and it is always my mind filled with thoughts that does it to me too. Oh, and I hear you on the blogger one and the wedding planning – agreed!
I have even resorted to putting a notebook right next to the bed in case I wake up with thoughts!
I love this post… The love that I saw in you two yesterday is amazing and whichever path life takes you, you have your forever partner. I shared my most random and personal thoughts with you over the last couple of days. Man, life is really really good right now. I am tearing up as I post this cause you have no idea how much I love the top of the fence right now and not knowing which direction is next. Deap breathes that I practiced the other day in yoga….
Keep going with those deep breaths, it is truly the only thing that gets me through all the craziness sometimes.
I love your honesty. I actually disliked wedding planning too. Especially making decisions to not include things in our day that others thought we had to because society told them that was the “norm.” I have never regretted the way anything went on our special day.
So glad to hear that, our day will be fun but it is really not the norm! That wouldn’t be us.
Totally dig the random thoughts blogging! Wedding planning can be super stressful and often gets too bogged down in those details that are much more about what your guests will like than what will make you happy. Kudos to standing up for yourself and refusing to give in to the pressure to please everyone else!
Love this! Sometimes a girl’s just gotta vent! Say what’s on your mind…its cleansing….best wishes with the wedding! Remember to breathe, let go and ENJOY!
