The List




I took this picture because I wanted to remember Audrey's present list. I had to number the presents because there was a certain order some of them had to go in. Taking advantage of the numbers, Audrey made a list, then guessed what was in each present. This is a picture of her checking her list to see if she was right, and recording it, after each present.

Happy New Year

Ok, so it's a little late.

January 1st has never really seemed like the beginning of my year. Since my life up to now has sort of renewed during the summers, that time of year always feels for me more like the start of something new. It's just too cold to want to change in January.

Personal life updates would include MrP and I having gotten back together...doing well over the past weeks. He completely surprised me with his gift to me at Christmas...a ring that matched my wedding band. It was something I wanted, even though I didn't realize until I saw it, but never would have asked for. That kind of gift doesn't come around for me very often.

Cougar and Sox seem to be fighting all the time. Not just playful stuff, but enough to get me to holler at them, "BOYS! STOP IT!" It really does make them stop. And, if I happen to get up while they're figting in front of my chair...they both run off...together...then go right back to fighting. Crazy ass cats.

The Girl has glasses now and (oh god, she would kill me if she knew I was telling you) the cutest little bra I've ever seen! I swear I heard my own boobies say, "Awwwww," when I picked it up out of the laundry basket. It's a hand me down from her best friend, who felt sorry for The Girl for not having any.

I need to lose some weight. I've gained enough after quitting smoking to not be comfortable in hardly any of my pairs of pants...cry. I got all geared up to start eating better, then I just kind of lost steam. I've been walking about a mile every day at work, and I finally found my favorite workout DVD...but it was water damaged in the flooding of the Minier basement...so I need to try to clean it off and see if it will work. The Girl likes to watch and laugh at me when I do the leg and arm flailing scissor kick things. So, it's not just exercise, but family entertainment as well.


I have had a WTF Wedensday topic on my mind ever since it happened, but I'm just gonna share it now. WTF Sunday:

WTF checkout lady at Wal-mart. I understood when you went ahead and let the girl in front of me use her debit card, even though she didn't know the numbers for it. But, you didn't even ask for ID, or look at her signature or do ANY kind of verifying that the card this person didn't know the numbers for was actually theirs!! It's sickening to know how easy it is to use stolen debit/credit cards.

I have to start making dinner...I'm going to try to stop by more often!
