1. I have every intention of updating regularly, but then I added iPhone Cases to my etsy shop and…ummm…I’ve been a leeeetllleee busy. In a good way.
2. Lulu woke up with hives this morning. Maybe I jinxed the poor thing with my recent post on bulldogs. She’s on her 2nd dose of Benadryl and things *seem* to be getting better. Maybe. I hope. If not, it’s off to the vet tomorrow for a shot.
3. Is it wrong that I love when Vic goes out of town (for short trips, of course). It means I skip cooking & take the kids out to dinner and just enjoy talking to them.
4. This crockpot pulled pork is really so divine. Very simple and absolutely delicious. I made it on Tuesday and the kids have requested BBQ sandwiches for lunch 2 days in a row. And – truly – is there anything better than having a busy, stressful day and coming home to the smell of yummy dinner already underway? No.
5. I’ve become addicted to Stumbleupon, Pocket (formerly read-it-later), and Zine. They require their own post, so just know IT’S COMING.
6. We recently added an Apple TV, Roku & new receiver (as our old one was just…old) to our television viewing environment. Again, they need their own post. But the Roku? LOVE.
7. Instead of eating out tonight, I’m kinda wishing I’d picked up the fixins’ for this instead.
8. I was going to write something about Aidan’s school here, but decided no good would come of it so I decided not to afterall.
9. One month left until Summer and my biggest concern is how to have Ava at swimteam daily at 10:30, Aidan at football camp & basketball camp & the local amusement park…and still fit in my daily workouts. EEK. And don’t suggest working out at night – when the clock strikes 4, it’s all downhill until bedtime for me.
10. At Aidan’s dentist appt today they were playing a radio station advertising itself as ‘mellow grooves.’ I survived. Barely.
12. If you don’t follow Animals Talking in All Caps, you’re missing out on a daily dose of the funniest stuff on the interwebs.
13. It was short-lived, but the same goes for Texts from Hillary. If you have 20 minutes to spare, do start from the beginning. It’ll brighten your day, I promise.
14. I threw out my hip in BodyPump last week, which of course set me on a course of lower back pain. Found a good chiropractor here in Erie (recommended by my instructor). 2 adjustments later and I’m pain-free and all in alignment. Say what you will – nothing will get you fixed up faster than a good adjustment.
15. I started reading the damned 50 Shades book on vacation. As my brain cells ran screaming from my head one-by-one, I swore not to continue. Yet I did. It HAD to get better, right?!?!? All three books couldn’t possibly be this terrible, right??
16. Yes, they could. And I am now short approximately 1,293 brain cells. I need to read something smart to put them back.
17. Eyes do not darken.
18. People do not ‘gasp’ 25 times a day.
19. I’ve known a lot of women in my 45 years, and not a one has ever referred to her ‘inner goddess.’
20. I think I’ll read ‘Game of Thrones’ next.
