I was just dreaming a few minutes ago and when I realized I was dreaming...I laughed! I was shopping and found an incredible bargain, it was a scrapbook kit that was normally 29.99 and it was on clearance for 2.50. I was positively giddy, I didn't particularly like it but I bought it anyway because it was such a great deal. I am such a sucker for a bargain...I cannot resist!
Random thought number 2...I love real people...the kind of people that others might find offensive. They come off a little rough around the edges but they never lie and they are loyal till the end. They are the kind of people that can't hide exactly how they feel at any given moment...what you see is what you get! They would run a mile barefoot over glass for you but if you look stupid in that outfit they tell you. They tend to tick other people off but I think they are just misunderstood and a treasure to have by your side. I am blessed with several of these wonderful friends and I thank my Father in Heaven everyday that I have them in my life.
On the flip side I detest, abhor, loathe, phony people. You know the ones...they smile to your face and stab you in the back. They pretend to be someone they are not. Maybe I don't despise them as much as I feel sorry for them, I hate the fact that they haven't figured out that it is always best to be yourself because in the end, it is what it is, we are who we are...maybe I don't really despise them...maybe I do.
Random thought number 3...I love other people's children. I don't mean in a superficial way, I mean the kind of love that one might have for your own children. I used to be in awe of those that adopted because in my heart I knew I could never love another woman's child as much as I love my own. That is no longer true...I could totally take several of the sweet babies in my ward home with me and raise them as my own. Don't worry I am not about to steal anyone's baby but if I had to raise one I could do it with a peace knowing that they will be raised with a mother's love.
That concludes Michele's random thoughts this early Sunday morning!

Nice thoughts Michele. I'm so glad you're my friend! You are a treasure to have.
I hope I am one of those "rough around the edges friends" instead of the "phony" ones. I WILL tell you when an outfit is ridiculous. Just ask anyone at the last book club. I actually wish I was a bit more soft spoken. Something I am working on. :) But don't hold your breath. :)
You are Jana.. You are a great balance...well spoken and honest...love you!
hmm, I am kinda a middle of the road with this philosophy. I like when good friends can be honest with each other as long as their is kindness in what they are saying. If someone I didn't know came up to me and told me they didn't like my outfit, I would think so not necessary, they must have something stuck up their butt. But I do love when you can get to the point with a person, where you have such a good understanding and friendship with someone that you can be honest!
Michele, you definately are wonderful with the babies. You can take Natalie anytime! Well, I guess if you can pry her off of me:)
I'm more with Brooke. I do appreciate it when my good friends are honest with me. But if a stranger were blunt with me, I probably wouldn't know what to say at first from shock and then a little upset.
Yeah, which kind of person am I???
And I can vouch for you on Thought #3...
Well I know I have greatly benefited from your willingness to love other people's kids! what would I do without you at church, enrichment, etc. I always feel a little guilty for how much you do for Aubrey, but I apparently not quilty enough to get off my butt!
What's up! I emailed you about Rachelle's shower--I am really on the ball (um not really). Can I add your blog to my list of friends--my mighty list of three is sort of depressing:) Definitely with you on the "phonies" mostly because of my experiences at work. I feel really fortunate that I haven't really experienced that with our Pittsburgh friends but definitely had my share of friends that threw me under the bus when I was single (e.g. One day after I broke up with a boyfriend I was super crazy about my junior year of college, one of my "best friends" made-out with him at my apartment when I went to visit my family to regroup from the break-up...ouch!).
