I'm getting another cousin!

Posted Friday, February 29, 2008 3:15 PM

Yes, another 1st cousin. My uncle is only 7 years older than me, and his wife is only 4 years older than me - so they're more like cousins anyways. Their first little girl is 20 months old, and my mom called this morning and said their second baby is

My pets are EVIL!!

Posted Wednesday, February 27, 2008 7:14 PM

So last night while we were trying to sleep, our girl cat went on one of her crazy spurts - scratching on the carpet, running super-fast around the house, messing with stuff on the dressers - we had to get up and yell at her a couple of times. This morning

Update on life

Posted Monday, February 25, 2008 6:05 PM

So I turned 24 yesterday - not nearly as exciting as when you were little. MIL baked a cake and gave me presents when we saw them last weekend, and called yesterday (and got DH's grandparents to call as well). I had lots of calls and wall-posting on Facebook.

Winter blues settling in

Posted Tuesday, February 19, 2008 7:51 PM

I know it's halfway through February, so the winter blues are a little late, but they are just now coming on. All of a sudden work is crazy, it is blowing snow (boo), it is cold (boo), and I feel fat and behind on everything. Yesterday I tried to go to

Update on busyness

Posted Thursday, February 14, 2008 7:28 PM

I was at a training conference Monday and Tuesday . . . and work has been literally nuts the past two days. I wish Friday was today, but I have one more day. Nothing so amazing happening, but I thought I'd update. AF came for real and is gone, so that

Atonement is fabulous

Posted Friday, February 08, 2008 4:59 PM

. . . well, as fabulous as a very, very, very, sad, tragic movie can be. The movie was very well done, a good movie, but it was sooo sad. I think everyone should go see it (but leave the kiddos at home). At the end, I really almost burst into moaning

AF - you're here so soon

Posted Wednesday, February 06, 2008 9:31 PM

I guess I forgot how to count, but I really wasn't expecting AF until at least Saturday. But guess who just showed up? No wonder I felt fugly yesterday. I used to have 30-32 day cycles before BCPs, and that would be about today . . . So that's one month

Getting my butt in gear

Posted Wednesday, February 06, 2008 6:28 PM

Today is better self-esteem wise than yesterday. I made my appointment to get my hair cut & colored (of course now I am second guessing and wondering how much it will all cost and should I really do it). But I will be excited when it's done. I also

Feeling Fat (and not the "ph" kind, either)

Posted Tuesday, February 05, 2008 5:08 PM

I know that we've been traveling a lot, I know AF *should* show up next week, and I know I haven't been the best at gymming in January, but I am downright fat again!! I know to some 147 isn't big, but it's way too close to 150 (my all time high last Christmas),
