Trying to readjust to normal life.

It seems like just yesterday that I was cruising to exotic destinations, no responsibilities, everything I could possibly want at my fingertips...Sigh...It's been so hard readjusting. I'm so disorganized at the moment, and if you know me, you know that is definitely not me. I'm extremely organized. I'm still not unpacked. I just can't get motivated to put the last few things away. Or to do anything for that matter. I miss vacation.

Which moron thought of this dumb idea???

I'm shopping at Target and come across the Nad's wax kit and think, you know, that might be neat to try just once. Maybe I won't even have to shave as often on my cruise. I even found a guinia pig to try it on first, the hubby. Yes, he agreed to let me try it on a small area of chest hair. He didn't flinch and I thought to myself, I gave birth and I'm tougher than the hubby. Time to do the legs. Let me just say, there was not enough liquor in the house for me to do more than about 3 square inches of ONE leg. Enough said.

PS...Shawn now thinks that because he could handle the "waxing trial", he's now capable of handling getting a tattoo. We'll see.

Where has the time gone?

So, I just noticed it has been a month since my last post. It doesn't feel that long, but a lot has happened that has kept me away from the computer. First was Abbey's birthday, which was great. Next, she got sick with pink eye (in both eyes). Boy, that was SOO much fun. Notice the sarcasm. Then, 2 days after finishing her medication, she got sick again! I almost decided to just move into her doctor's office. During this time, Shawn and I booked our cruise, which we leave for on Friday. Yay! Oh, and one of the most exciting (under the cruise) is that we finally got some snow! We got a little over 4 inches last night. Here is a video of Abbey and I sledding down our hill. Fun!!

You know your a Nobody when...

I was reading the Fox News Celebrity post about the new Dancing with the Stars when something struck me as hilarious. Usually when reading the list of names you see mostly B listed celebrities with the occasional famous one (or two) like Jewel and Lil Kim. But this line was hilarious:

*Gilles Marini, who played the neighbor ogled by Kim Cattrall's Samantha in the "Sex and the City film"

You know your a Nobody when you have to explain who you played with great detail...

Yay, me!

I've been really good this week at getting back to my gym routine of 4 times a week. Today's run (4 miles) made #3 and tomorrow will be #4. Go me! Especially since I practically dragged myself to the gym tonight in below zero weather (thanks to the wind). It snowed in Asheville/Madison yesterday, but yet again we barely got a dusting. I'm not even taking the time to put pictures it was so pathetic.
We are getting REALLY excited about our cruise! We got some of our travel docs in the mail today along with our luggage tags. As soon as Abbey's bday party is over, it will be time to plot and plan our trip! It's been a happy day!

Exhausted Rambling.

It's been a busy few days. I've already made the chocolate candy strawberries for Abbey's cake, and I'm now working on her birthday outfit (via iron on strawberry shortcake) that I'm sewing. I'm also embroidering towels for fun and listening to Shawn drill countless holes in the wall to hang my super broom. I guess I also have to now patch about 6 holes in the wall. I finally made it to the gym in the morning (I have been going at night) and with my busy day today, I'm exhausted.

Girly, the turtle

Abbey loved my turtle. So much, in fact, that she wanted a large one just like mine. She even named it before I made it, Girly. She names everything Girly.

In other new, Tad the tadpole has passed on... I think next I'll get a goldfish.

Shawn and I are going on a cruise in March! Yay! We're going to Belize, Honduras, and Cozumel, Mexico. I'm so excited! We're going to see the Mayan ruins! And by ourselves! Yay, couple time!

I've also started knitting again, and have sewn/embroidered a lot this week. I love my sewing machine!
