Let's Talk About...

I'm working on a post but I need everyones honest opinion.  I have put up a poll (don't worry it's anonymous).  Select your answer as to how often you and your significant other get intimate. I have the poll closing on Friday or Saturday I don't have a calendar handy!

Project Overload

I am in project overload this week.  You know the weeks, where you have so much that you "want" to do that you become so extremely overwhelmed that you get nearly nothing done? That's the kind of week I am having, hence why my blog has been a little sporadic.  Here is what has been going on in our lives:

1. I got a new phone on Monday! I made the switch from a crackberry to an iPhone which is way more addicting.  I thought the transition would be tough but I haven't looked back since.  We are on a budget so we got the 3GS's.  Jason got one too, he was upgrading from his ancient razor, yes he still had a razor.
2. Spring gave us a sneak peek, which means we spent close to 8 hours at the zoo, went to the park, took walks and played outside.  We also spent some time at the library and I checked out a new book that is adding to my project overload.
3. My real estate gig had me working on a postcard which was all consuming in itself.
4. I'm reading a book that I am hoping will change our lives.  I love magazines and was reading an article about clutter and the author said she read this book and it changed her life, so I checked it out from the library and have begun reading it.  It's a little out there but the premise is going through your entire home top to bottom, every drawer, closet every inch and getting rid of things.  This is something that we really need to do and I am hoping this book gives us the swift kick we need.  I'll keep you all posted on the status.
5. I'm School Board President at Augie's daycare and have been dealing with board issues and am creating a website for the center.

And then just life in general, the ins and outs of my daily week.  I'm taking an amateur photography class tomorrow morning which I am so extremely excited for, and which will probably add more projects to my brain but that's OK.  I'm borrowing my parents DSLR until we can buy our own, I'm sure I will be driving my household crazy taking pictures but oh well.

I have lots of topics I want to blog about, so I hope to be getting them transferred from the note pad in my brain to the computer in the weeks to come!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

So I told you yesterday about the benefits of Facebook Contests and today I found out I won one!! I'm so excited, I won Augie and I tickets to see Madagascar Live which Augie is just going to love.  One of our favorite indoor play places Firefly Play Cafe was having a contest about the strangest thing your little one has put in his or her mouth.  Well some of you remember the Dead Baby Bird Incident ( here it is in the words of Augie.)  But in a nutshell we were playing outside when Aug was about 14 mos old.  He loved eating mulch and I was constantly batting things out of his mouth.  Well I saw him put something in his mouth and I actually thought it was a wild mushroom, so I ran over to him to bat it away as he was pulling it out to examine when to my surprise it was a FEATHERLESS DEAD BABY BIRD!!!!!!!  I freaked out grabbed him ran into the house screaming and trying not to vomit.  I took him into the kitchen and sprayed his face with the sprayer trying to get him to rinse out his mouth.  Try to tell a 14 mos old to rinse and spit, it doesn't work.  Coincidentally a few days later Augie came down with the Chicken Pox, when I was telling the pediatrician about what had happened and asking him if they could be connected.  ( I was a new mom!)  He listened intently, paused and then said "Wow, that's got to be the grossest thing I have ever heard."  and then when I left I heard him telling one of his partners "you gotta hear what this little guy tried to eat!!"  I felt awesome!!!

Contests

One of the reasons I love facebook is for their contests. I "like" just about evry business page I can, well local ones because they are always doing contests, or just updating their loyal customers about something.  In the last few months I have won 2 tickets to see Broadway Across America CATS and I won Augie this awesome vest from one of my fave store's in Columbus Lottie Da Baby the owner Amy is an absolute doll. I met her at a Baby Bonanza before she opened her store and we had an instant connection.  Her store has amazing things, that are a little over our everyday budget but it's a great place for gifts and she is always doing contests.  So if you don't get on facebook very much, this is one reason to check it daily!

Run Momma Run

I have been wanting to get back into running. I ran a 1/2 marathon when I was 9 weeks pregnant with Addie and I haven't ran since I stammered across the finish line. I just read this articleand am hoping to start up again. Once the snow melts and it gets warmer and...

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful day.  I would love to tell you that we did something romantic, but it was just another night for us.  Jason did bring me a box of choclates which he informed me that he laughed while he was picking them out, because I'm not a fan of choclate so he was actually buying them for himself! At least he is honest and knows me well, I guess it's the thought that counts.   I hope to post my birth story with Addie tomorrow night, it's going to be a long one so make sure to check back!
