back to the grind
i'm working out again, four times a week. also taking loads of walks with the dog, and trying to eat really healthy. i want to lose 5 pounds or so, and i have to say, progress is absurdly slow. i'm getting really annoyed. i feel like i'm working really hard and nothing's happening. i'm going to stick with it until the cruise at the beginning of ( Read more... ) -

gavin and i went to the ballet together on saturday night, and it was a pretty perfect evening. it was so fun to get all dressed up - black dress, tights, heels, new earrings and loosely curled hair. we went to this wine bar called cru, and we both got a glass of wine. for an appetizer, we had fondue, which i'd never had before, and i loved it. i ( Read more... ) -

i really wish i could fly back to virginia for steve's memorial, but i don't think i'm going to be able to make it. this is something i'm just trying to process on a day to day basis. i've never lost anyone very close to me, and it feels worse because steve was only 30, and this shouldn't have happened. we had so many fun times together when i was ( Read more... ) -

there are a lot of things i'd like to do this year. not resolutions, but just things i'd like to actually do - i make a list every year, usually, and just try to cross off as many things as i can. this year, things include ( Read more... ) -

this just a terrible, terrible day. steve died. he's gone. forever. and i completely can't process it or digest it. it's too big for me right now and i'm choking on it.

i just realized, even if gavin and i decided to have another baby tomorrow, our kids would be at LEAST 4.5 years apart. i basically feel like we're at the point where it's just too much, which is okay, because i'm still comfortable with the decision to only have one. not to mention, our odds are just so crappy. 33% of having a successful ( Read more... ) -

well, my family has come and gone! as i expected, the visit went by much too quickly and it sucked when everyone had to leave. finn and his cousin stephen (who is five months older) had the best time playing together the entire time, and it was so fun to watch them interacting with each other. of course there were some spats over toys and things ( Read more... ) -

i've been working out four times a week for seven weeks straight now. it's been kind of tough, but i've been working hard and i'm really starting to see a lot of definition in my muscles. my stomach is the most difficult part of my body, so i'm also now trying to eat really healthy so i can lose maybe 5 pounds. i'm hoping if i do, the definition ( Read more... ) -

i'm so tired recently. finn has been sleeping TERRIBLY. all in all, finn is a fantastic kid in so many ways; smart, funny, loving. he potty-trained in like two days with minimal effort from me. we finally got him off bottles a few months ago and he's adjusting pretty well to preschool. but other than maybe six months when he was around 1, he's ( Read more... )
