Over the weekend, I threw out my back. The recovery process has been slow going, so here I am, sitting in bed with a heating pad, going over old pictures, wallowing in how this week has not gone as planned.<\/p>\n

My thoughts are aimless for the most part, but for some reason, I keep coming back to a post I read last night by my blog friend Kirsten of Comfortably Domestic<\/a>. In it, she references a previous post Randoms and a Quickie<\/a>. The title made me laugh the first time I read it, and last night I was reflecting on how every time I start crafting a post with scattered points, I think of her title again.<\/p>\n

Now, as I peruse pictures, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m thinking a random post might in fact be a good idea for today. This way, whatever the pain meds are doing to my head will at least seem intentional.<\/p>\n

So, here we go, folks. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my closet clutter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a place I like on our island. My daughter calls it Snow White\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s woods. We have yet to find the dwarfs, their cottage, Snow White, or even the evil stepmother, but we remain steadfast in our assertion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Check out some of these sandcastles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sand rock castle<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The castle the small people tried to hold back the ocean with, with predictable results.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Misc. castle #1<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Misc. castle #2<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Check out my garbage cans. I like it when my trash congregates in coastal-themed receptacles. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry; I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t normally keep them on my deck. This picture was taken after I hosed them all out earlier this year. On the other hand, you may want to worry a little, because for the life of me, I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t figure out why I took a picture of my garbage cans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is the time my daughter decided to play hide-and-seek, without telling anyone first. She hid, and who knows how long later, this is how I found her, sitting in the shower lost in thought.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I paint my toenails weird colors. And use my flash indiscriminately.<\/p>\n

So there you have it, what pain does to my brain, a.k.a. Randoms without the Quickie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
