Bullets are "In"

• We're getting another nephew!
• I'm still getting stymied by my stupid email posting thing. Grrr
• Tomato and strawberry plants going well so far! The tomato is the only one upside down. I will describe the process more thoroughly in another post.
• I have decided after further research that painting counters is not "easy" for someone like me. No way I'm doing it. I'll hire someone to put new in when I have the money. 
• I've started painting the kitchen walls though and plan to do the cabinets as well. Fun!
• PMS is lasting over a week for me now. Is it the old age or what? I am approaching that magical "35."
• Lots and lots of visits and visitation coming up. I think bullets are going to be very common right now.

Things I've wanted to say while I've been not blogging.

• I got E's book done! I like it, but Hub could have done better.
• I planted strawberries and a suspended (upside down) tomato thingy. I made my own with a reusable shopping bag. Anyone else plant tomatoes this way? Thoughts?
• Still family health issues (not in our house) and a few animal ones. Sad day. 
• E is finally adjusting to the no nap, going to bed early thing. In bed by 7:15 tonight, asleep by 8:10! And sleeping in until 8:30!
• Family coming soon!
• E loves water parks.
• I forgot the email to email posts in from my iPod, thus it's taken me weeks to get back into it.
• In related news, I rarely use the big computer anymore.
• I'm finally catching up on fixing the house up! We have a little extra to spend on it at the moment, and E is loving to "help" now, so I can do things like paint and buy new toilet seats. It's fun.
• In other related news, that might be partly why I haven't been blogging as well. 
• Has anyone on here painted their kitchen counters? What did you think?
• It's been beautiful and dry the last few days. VERY weird for June, but I'll take it.
• I still haven't given in and read 50 Shades of Gray (Grey?)
• Doesn't that Gauthier singer sound like Sting on the higher notes?
• Another new food pleasure? (this one a bit guilty) Vitamin Water Zero. Mmmmmmm!
• I'm forgetting a lot of stuff.

I am Still Alive

Happy Memorial Day! I am still alive, but am frantically trying to finish E's first year book. I have a Groupon for it, but it expires May 30th. I'm on page 6 of 40. Way to procrastinate Barb! I'm also battling cramps, but that's a good thing as it's been almost three months.

I think I may be redesigning this blog with a new focus soon. I need it. I have a lot on my mind, but I need a space that fits me a little more closely now. I'm sorry if I'm behind on your news. Please poke me if need be. 

I still have an incriminating (not really) photo that I want to post from Jen's visit.

Loves and all,

Dear Blogging: I miss you

Overall, I've been feeling so much better on my higher Synthroid dose. Crappy thing is, sick is coming on now. Someday I'll be able to blog better.

For Jen

On the not writing about the awesomeness of Jen: cleaned up after visitors. And guess who's still up? (It's 10:30 and I'll give you a hint. He's the cutest boy in the world who will apparently never have great sleep patterns... Just like Mommy.) But I do have something good planned. And we did have fun. :)

Better Jen?

Hi

Oh man. Lots to write but in the middle of visitations and craziness. Summer has arrived in Florida. Ack the heat. And it only gets worse from here. Man do the snowbirds ever have right.

Rediscovering Delicious

I'm trying so hard and mostly succeeding. Something great for lunch I had never tried in combo before: green bell pepper dipped in hummus. Mmm.

And do you love Starbucks green tea lattes and frappuccinos? Did you know you can get them without the syrup, and they are delicious! Did you also know you could buy your own matcha powder? It makes me swoon. I've been drinking my vanilla, no sugar almond milk with it. I'm getting better! I'm also feeling better on my Synthroid increase. Now if I could just lose weight...
