Usually when I go to bed I'm snoring in less than 10 minutes (well, Ed says I snore but I don't believe him) but last night I tossed and turned for at least a half hour before falling asleep.  While lying there I was thinking about Celest.  I think we are in a really good phase in terms of our mother/daughter relationship right now.  I'm talking ( Read more... )

Happy Valentine's day everyone!

Ed and I aren't going anywhere / doing anything special.  We did our date night Friday which was romantic because Ed surprised me with a gift! Now I hadn't bought anything for him so I wasn't too happy with him, but I wasn't terribly surprised since he does that to me all the time.  I told him his gift will be an iPad ( Read more... )

It's winter, right? It's cold out there isn't it? Then why has Aeryn decided that this is the perfect time to stop wearing anything on her feet?? I put socks on her in the morning and by lunch time they are no where to be found. I tried putting her shoes on as well but they end up coming off too. She says her feet aren't cold but they feel chilly ( Read more... )

I can't believe we almost two feet of snow fall Friday and Saturday ( Read more... )

Yesterday after work was one of those days where I didn't want to do anything except sit on the couch, watch mindless tv reality shows, and eat a whole box of chocolate. Nothing bad happened I was just in a funk after work. I tend to feel this way monthly a few weeks before Aunt Flo visits. I refrained from vegging out all night and didn't binge on ( Read more... )

I really need to update my userpics! I normally log on here with my iPhone which has very few photos, or my netbook which has none at all so I don't have any recent photos uploaded. The most recent one I have is from summer '08. Oh well, I'll put it on my mile long to do list.

I watched Avatar on Sunday. My first IMAX 3D movie. The IMAX screen was ( Read more... )

It's been cold the past couple of days so of course yesterday Ed decided we should go shopping in the Strip District. For those who don't know it's an area of Pittsburgh with a whole bunch of independent, specialty stores. It's outdoors and right along a river so the cold wind was brutal. We bundled up the kids and walked as fast as Aeryn's little ( Read more... )

Aeryn is just too funny, and odd.  She's three so who knows what goes on inside her head.  First, she calls Thomas her "bother" not brother, bother which is funny because he prides himself on his ability to annoy Celest.  Then, the other day we were going to the car and she saw the moon in the daytime sky.  She started telling me that the moon was ( Read more... )

Ed has class tonight so I'm trying to figure out what I want to do when the kids go to bed. Either I'll play Xbox or catch up on the shows I have recorded. Xbox will completely suck me in for hours and I'll end up staying up late. Tv will cause me to want to overeat some snacks. So I guess I'm deciding between excess calories and not enough sleep.

I'm sitting in the breakroom, finished with my lunch, thinking about the phrase "don't dress for the job you have, dress for the job you want". Now I can't get an image of a guy working in a cubicle dressed as an 80's hairband member talking to the clown working in the next cubicle while a chubby office lady dressed as a ballerina pirouettes (sp?)
