WOO HOO!!!!

My goal pants fit!

Over a month before my deadline too.

I almost forgot... No I'm just lazy and would rather sleep than post a blog but not really I just do

I like to think that I'm not the only one that gets so busy and caught up in this that and the other things being so urgent and important I forget about what I like to do when it's something I can always do "later".

Today after getting home from work at the time I usually would take a nap before making dinner I chose to get online and play around. I tweeted a bit, facebooked for a while and then browsed through some of my favorite blogs. There were some great things I came across and wanted so badly to share them with everyone I know. There were then a series of thoughts that led me to realize I have not posted since I left my job as a receptionist weeks before I had Aeslyn.

I intended on posting when Dave took me on a second honeymoon to St. George and Zion which was amazing

I intended on posting when Aeslyn was born which was beautiful

I intended on posting when I went to the Moms Who Make It convention-- pheMOMenal!

I intended on posting when I took Aeslyn to the zoo though she slept through the whole thing

I intended on posting about the 24th of July in good ol' Panguitch which is tied with Thanksgiving for my favorite day of the year. Yes even above Christmas.

...AND the list continues.

I have developed a terrible habit of misplacing action after intention which gets me nowhere. This is a habit I desperately would love to break but I'm not sure how. If I bit my nails I could paint them or put tape on them or something. But if I didn't bit my nails (which btw I don't) and wanted to start doing it regularly how would I remind myself to do it. More importantly how would I make myself do it? Yes I realize my analogy is quite ridiculous.

Any ideas to help? How do you break your habits of omission? If you don't have any please just make one up and tell me so I don't feel like such a loser!

Kids Shows

I've always been a bit juvenile when it comes to watching TV. I prefer cartoons over just about anything-- American Idol? Desperate Housewives? No thanks! Give me some Chowder or Billy & Mandy or Arthur any day. Unless maybe Mystery Diagnosis or Planet Earth is on.

Recently however, my tastes have regressed even more. Now that I realize I'll be having a little one to play with and teach I am more and more inclined to watch preschool shows. I can't get enough Mr. Rogers and Backyardigans. As we speak I am watching Elmo and Snuffy play "dinosaur" and singing songs about taking care of pets.

How have your tastes in the movies / TV shows you chose to watch changed over the years?

Re: Fwd:

I HATE forwards...Usually.

I typically don't even open forwarded emails. I often see the irritating little letters "fwd", roll my eyes and delete before I even see who sent it or what it regards. Sometimes if there is a word or two that catches my attention and I have time to waste I'll open it and then usually regret doing so, wishing I had my seven minutes back it took me to read the long list of prayer phrases with the promise of a special spot in hell for me if I don't send it on to at least 10 people, but if I do send it to 35 people Bill Gates will include me in his will. Oh Please! I'll risk my spot in hell because I doubt it will be as unbearable as reading these emails.

And then I get forwarded emails from my friend Marisa. If ever I have a grumpy day and need a good laugh, I can count on opening just about anything from her and soon find myself rolling on the floor in convulsive laughter. In fact, most forwards she sends me get saved in my "funny ha-ha" folder.

Due to my lack of imagination, but my current need to post something I'm pulling out a few of my favorite Marisa Emails. If you get a good laugh (which I'm sure you will) you can thank her for ignoring my warning and braving my wrath I often give those who dare fill up my inbox with more crap than I find in my spam folder.

If that wasn't enough...

Join in the fun

My friend Lindsay is doing this on her blog and I think it is a great way to do something nice for someone else. The following is copied from her post (she got it from her friend Erin), I am posting it on my blog because I want to get in on the fun. Thanks Lindsay (and Erin)!

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It'll be done this year.
4- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a masque. I may sew or paint something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did post it win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!
