Hellooooo

Well hello there! What's everyone been up to?!?

Since I was here last:
I've gotten a year older
my baby turned 5

I fried food for the first time (not a fan)
Christmas has come and gone
I opened an Etsy shop
Hubby has gotten a year older
we went to see a Mouse
Mal's had more testing
I gained holiday weight consisting mainly of Swiss Miss and marshmallows
I did a little blog re-do


Right now I'm working on Mal's headboard and more goodies to ad to my Etsy shop. Our home computer is about to croak and getting photos up is pretty hit or miss...with 90% of the time tipping the scales on the miss side. I'm not very good at sitting in front of the computer for long stints of time anyway, but throw in the fact that it's taking 5 minutes to load a photo...I just want to jump out of my skin. I'm hoping to get a laptop so I can at least move around and maybe sit by a window while typing away. Ha... seems so silly but being able to sit by a window and blog/edit photos/email/do some Etsy work sounds like heaven.

Just wanted to check in. More to come.
Really... ; )

I suppose right now I should be blogging about and posting pictures of our Halloween fun.
That is the natural order of things.
It's what just happened. We worked hard on costumes, and the girls looked great...
I just don't feel like writing about that right now.
Don't know why. Just don't.
So I'm going to go with that.

I do want to say thank you for all of your kind words about Mallory. She is doing GREAT and just a few days into the meds, we were seeing NO episodes (seizures)! We feel SO blessed! Still, family and friends have never seen her have one, so it's pretty much like telling them that she grows a third eye, but because of meds, has been sticking to the usual two. Must seem strange to them. It's strange to me too.
Again, thank you for your thoughts and prayers...I know they worked : )

Dear God,
If you could just give me a little peek into the future so I'll know everything is going to be alright and I can stop worrying about every little thing and this stupid line in between my eyebrows would stop getting deeper and deeper because I really don't want to have to get botox, that would be great.
Thank you.

Had to go to the ENT Dr. this past week. He is also a plastic surgeon. Unless you have the money to GET the nose job, don't ask a plastic surgeon what he would do if you had money TO get a nose job. It is quite depressing and you will never look at your already-hated-since-the-5th-grade-and-don't-like-to-get-photographed-because-of-it nose the same way again.
Just FYI.

My Christmas list is the same this year, as it was last year:
cowboy boots
chop saw
laptop
world peace
Carrie Underwood's figure
amen

Random photo to go along with the rest of this random randomness.
Me with the Nelson twins in 198something-or-other:

Mmmmm...spandex.

Goodnight.

Right now...

I wanted to write a blog post tonight. I'm sitting here in bed, on Hubby's laptop, in the dark, in the QUIET, and I'm stumped. I've been writing blog posts in my head all day (which might sound strange but I've narrated my days in my head for as long as I can remember) but here I am and...nothing.

So
Right now...

...some jack *ss is booming his car past my house.
...I'm realizing I didn't wash my face before getting into bed.
...I'm dreading the morning routine.
...I'm wondering if I had gotten all of the grass out of the girls' hair
...the 4yr old is tossing and turning
...I'm praying for a peaceful night sleep
...I'm trying to remember the last time the 4yr old didn't wake me up
...the dog is giving herself her 28th bath of the day (25 of which she reserves for the middle of the night)
...the football game is still on tv...and Hubby has been asleep for 45mins.
...I'm thinking about tonight's dinner. (my MIL is the best : )
...I'm thinking about my future Etsy shop.
...the girls' Halloween costumes are unfinished.
...I miss my Sis.
...the 4yr old is REALLY tossing and turning.
...I'm thinking I'm in for a long night.
...the laundry is laughing at me.
...I'm wondering if I'll get to the thrift store this week ( I need to)
...the laptop light is illuminating Hubby's sweet face : )
...I could drink a gallon of sweet tea.
...I'm thinking about our broken dishwasher, swing set, etc
...Colorado sounds fantastically wonderful.
...the # of unfinished projects in my house makes me want to cry.
...my family is healthy and happy.
...I am blessed beyond belief.
...I am dang tired.

good night
