I'm slacking...

I haven't blogged in a while....but don't feel I have much to say. We've sort of been house shopping again. I hate it. Hate. It. .... It is the worst roller coaster of emotions.

I'm having surgery on Friday. Happy to get this thing out of my wrist, but not happy about recovery time. Pray to the Percocet God's that they give me pain relief. Dang you high drug tolerance.

I'm just kind of in a meh mood this week. 'Splain that to me: It's warm, sunny, winter is ending and I'm all bummed out like it's been raining for 40 days. WTF? I'm in need of another vacation...or something. Not really sure what.

On a lighter note, my new nephew has arrived. Tiny little fella. 3lbs 11oz and 15 inches to be exact. They induced Heather 5 weeks early due to Pre-eclampsia. But baby and mama are doing fine. This is a pic of him (Thomas) holding my brother's wedding ring. Gives an idea of just how small....

Surgery

Well pooper scooper. I found out today that I am having surgery on my right wrist to remove the lovely little ganglion cyst that has developed in the joint and hurts like the dickens when ever I put any weight on it. So April 2nd is the big day. Wish me luck.

I do you nails

So Sharon and I went and got pedicures today and it made me think of this Youtube skit. Awesome....

Technology

Got this in an email today and laughed out loud. Thought I'd share:

You are on the bus when you suddenly realize ... you need to fart. Some music is playing and it's really loud, so you time your farts to the beat hoping no one will notice. After a couple of songs, you start to feel better as you approach your stop. As you are leaving the bus, people are really glaring at you, and that's when you remember: You've been listening to your iPod.

Everything's amazing, nobody's happy....

Man, I have the most annoying headache today. boo...

Funny but soooo true video (HERE) about how spoiled we are even in these economic hard times. Gave me a good belly laugh and it was a good reminder how blessed we really are. Gonna look into this guy more.

Looking to go to Vegas or NY or something for Tay's birthday/our anniversary....anyone got any ideas? I have a free round trip from my Southwest Credit Card so we're trying to figure out some place cool to go that we have never been to or at least not in a long time.

My BFF Sharon is coming in to town Thursday for the weekend...Yipeee! I'm excited. This is a RARE occasion. Vicki is coming from Hawaii too. Should be busy and loads of fun this weekend.

Ok back to work....drat this headache!

Full Time

So Taylor started work full time this week. He is still attending school full time, and is now working full time on top of that. I admit it's been weird not having him home till 10pm at night. See, I leave at 7:45am for work and get off around 6. I used to get home about two hours after him but now he gets home several hours after I do.....weird. I worry that the poor guy is going to burn out. Pray he doesn't :-/

I really should take this opportunity to get back in to my exercise routine....but I haven't. Nope. Instead I've found many other things at home to do. So I think starting tonight or Monday I am going to try to go walking/jogging for 30 minutes after work at least 3 times a week. Cause, my stupid rear end has gained like 10+ lbs since we got married. (Grrrr.) And I can't afford new clothes. So it's crunch time. Literally.

I miss my honey terribly too....I'm so used to being able to spend our time after work together. It's hard to not just mope and wait for him to get home.....but alas, the fat will continue to accumulate on my rear if I do not get off of it.... And until he is done with shcool and a full time career man we'll have to manage this lifestyle. Sigh.....

On the plus side, now that he's full time we'll be saving $380/month on his health insurance. :-D That is a HUGE bonus. Woot

Cruisin'

We had a blast on our cruise! I spent the first day (Monday) really green in the face and then drunk later on from the Dramamine. But considering there were like 10 to 15 ft swells that day in the ocean and it was raining sheets it wasn't a surprise. We were supposed to dock at Catalina that day but because of our yucky weather we spent that day at sea instead due to it not being safe for us to board the excursion boats and ride over to the island.

So the next day we got to do Catalina. It's an interesting little island but unfortunately we didn't spend long there as it started raining again pretty hard. Tay and I were supposed to do a snorkeling excursion but not enough people signed up (I assume because of the weather...call me crazy) so they canceled it.

Wednesday was our day in Encinada. Soooo fun! We got to do all kinds of haggling with the little Mexican shop owners and MAN o Man you can get some smokin deals because they are pretty desperate for you to spend your money at their shop and not the next guys. Let's just say I came out pretty well ;) And we learned my sister-in-law Rachel has an amazing ability to haggle at the ripe age of 15. Awesome.

Oops, I still need to upload the Encinada ones I guess. Don't know how I missed those.

Here are some from our many dinners on the ship as well. Good times and gooooood food mmmm.
