Been a while....

so its been what? 6 months since i've written anything here?  i'll admit it - i'm a slacker... and a busy slacker at that.... not to mention i just spent a half hour trying to remember my damn password. 

so let's see recent events..... hrmmmm ok well i just recently became an addict.... of knitting... i've got 3 projects going... 1 of which the knitting end of it is done... i just need to sew it all up and make it purdy.... 

i'm working on an ipod cozy for jim lol.  he made the smart ass remark this morning that his ipod was chilly so i needed to hurry up... the bastard.   he better use it too cause i'm working hard on it just for him.  

last weekend i burned myself - it is pretty nasty but i'll spare you the graphic photos.... lets just say it's on the side of my stomach and i can't sit properly because of it.  basically i'm a doof and wasn't paying enough attention while going to drain a pot of boiled potatoes... the water splashed up at me and viola!  shirt joins skin... kelly tears away shirt... shirt steals skin.... lovely.  so i've been nursing this nasty puppy for a few days now... and am still in a lot of pain.  if i had insurance i'd have some gnarly pain killers and some sort of extra strength burn cream.  but alas our government blows and we can't afford insurance for me, so i'm sticking with 2nd skin.... which i may add is pretty freakin awesome. 

so lets see what did i accomplish today?   well i scrubbed the bathroom ( not the floor yet... but i did scrub down the shower and tub and tossed out a bunch of expired stuff...) cleaned up the kitchen.  again not the floor.... but i'll get to that eventually i suppose.... 

oh and i redesigned the invites for the wedding.  as per our fashion we are doing them ourselves... so i've figured out the measurements for the outer cards themselves and how much cardstock we'll need to procure.  i also dabbled with the design for my wedding tattoo.... i'm not quite happy with it just yet, but i'm hoping that my creative mamas can give me some advice for it.... as for where i want it?  no idea... that'll fall into place when i decide exactly what i want. 

so let's see... plans for this evening.... make dinner... shower and shave ( if i can bend down in the shower this time) my legs are looking like a werewolf's right now....attempt to get the ipod cozy finished... which i don't think will be that tough... i think that is enough for tonight... i'm out of it lately and in some pain.... so i'll aim low and shock myself. 

and one month from today my baby turns 3!!!!  we are having a superman birthday... how kick ass is that?

well that is all for now i suppose... i need to keep at this blogging thing.... down with the procrastination!!!!  maybe tomorrow......

A new year, a new day

So 2008 has begun..... so much to do this year.... so much to change.....

I'm getting married in oct.... about 9 months to go and i haven't done as much as i was hoping i'd have done by now.... i need to buckle down and start making decisions.  The software has been on stand still for way too long, and the extra income we'd make is really enticing.... just not enough to get jim and i off our asses and work on it.  of course the work we already did is lost ( at least for now) with the death of our hard drive. 

i'm on the dieting wheel - and have been doing fairly good.... 32 lbs in 6 months isn't too shabby, considering i didn't really do anything except nursing.  I'm itching for another baby..... i just don't feel like our family is complete yet ...... but i'm weary about the weight gain again.  It crushed what self esteem i had......and now that i'm building it back up, i'm also gearing up to knock it down again..... sigh..... is this what i signed up for?

quin is doing amazing..... he's gaining words by the day and his newest is 'i'm sorry mom' - its so cute, and he says it at the right times.....of course this also brings on the 'no, mine' and the constant 'it's broken' in regards to anything and everything... but i can deal with that if it means he is catching up verbally to his age peers.....  he's doing pretty good in the big boy bed - i've noticed that he wakes up between 2 and 3 am every morning ( well almost every morning) - i can usually get him back to sleep - if i'm awake... if i'm asleep, he just crawls into bed with us and passes back out.  we are going to attack potty training head on this week...... ought to be fun!

the forum is doing pretty amazing..... lots of members, lots of posts..... no drama.... it's been more than i could ever ask for.... i'm working on so much bejhind the scenes, that i think i'm spreading myself too thin.... so my new years resolution for the board is to take it one thing at a time, and to dedicate at least an hour a day ( if not more) to getting my list complete.  i'm not going to get into it much because it'll just make me get all flustered and scattered again lol 

jim and i are doing great.... as the new year rolled around, and my drunken birthday, i realized that we need to better ourselves health wise - both physical and mental.  i'm cooking healthier whether he likes it or not ( and right now he is hanging in there) - and we need to start going out at least once a month alone.... his parents are always ready and willing to take the little man for the night, so we need to use and abuse it - 

ok well the boy is calling and i have some buddies to add to this new bloggity blog lol let's see if i can post at least once a week lol
