Pictures Roundup

This month’s Organizing Roundup (hosted by Lara), was for our pictures and memorabilia.  With a 4 year old and a 6 year old, I have and over abundance of both.
The first thing i tackled was their school papers.  I was keeping them all in that black 24-p0cket file, which allowed me to keep every single [...]

Rethinking my car music

I’m all about exposing the kids to all types of music.  Mostly it’s for my own sanity.  One can only take so much Little People singing I’m a Little Teapot.
But now that the kids are starting to sing some of the lyrics back to me, I am starting to see the error of my ways.  [...]

Fitness Friday

If I had to put a label on this week, it would be filed under “Poor Execution”.
Oh yes, I had grand plans.  Grand plans, I say.
But for a laundry list of things that are more excuses than reasons, I have not exercised to my full potential this week.
While I did do a ton of walking [...]

You Capture – Reflections

For this week’s You Capture shot, we were challenged with taking a picture of a reflection. I actually love reflection shots. It’s almost like you are looking in on something you shouldn’t be.
Or something.
Anyway, while I was in San Francisco with my brother, I got a few shots that (after editing) I was [...]

Sisters Weigh In

Today marks the beginning of the next Sisters challenge, Shrink Into Summer, and I have a confession to make.
I have a horrible habit.
When Dave is out of town, I stay up ENTIRELY too late.
Entirely too late.
The result?  I don’t want to exercise.  I don’t want to eat well.  I just want to sit like a [...]

Step on a crack

I’m pretty happy we moved to Maryland.  The weather’s halfway decent most of the time.  Our neighborhood is awesome.  Dave is loving his new job and Jake and Emma really enjoy school.
My body, on the other hand, seems to be revolting with the change of locale.
Since we’ve moved here, I’ve gone to the doctor for [...]

Spring Reading Thing 2009

It’s time once again for the Spring Reading Thing hosted by Katrina at Callapidder Days!
The challenge runs from March 20th to June 20th. Pick some books and then read them in that time. Pretty simple, heh?
I seem to have lost my reading mojo. I’m not reading nearly as much as I used [...]

Leaving on a jet plane

Guess what!
I’m leaving!
I’m jumping on a plane on Friday to go visit my brother in California for the weekend.  By myself.
There’ll be eating (hopefully nothing too crazy), walking (he has promised a 2 pound loss over the weekend), reading, picture taking, a show, and who knows what else.
There WILL NOT be a computer.  But I’ll [...]

Sisters Weigh In

Today is the last day of The Sisters current challenge, Kiss Me, I’m Shrinking (I just love that name).
Today, I weighed in at 154.8.  I didn’t reach my goal, but that’s 1.2 pounds gone for the challenge, baby.  I’ll take it.
And to tell you the truth…I’ve hardly counted my points in 2 weeks.  That’s a [...]
