Man, I am a TOTAL slacker!

Wow, it has been almost 5 months since I have updated this....could I be any lazier about this??

So, in a nutshell, here is how our lives are going now...

Callie is potty-trained, and almost off of the "baba" (pacifier). She jabbers quite a bit, and sometimes I am the only one who understands even part of it (and that is on a good day, most of the time, I feel as lost as the next person, haha!). She has been having a blast swimming at my Aunt Sandy's house..."Tasey" is her new best friend! We are trying to get swim lessons lined up for her, figure we better get on it while she is still enjoying going in the pool, since last summer wasn't too good for that.

Work is busy for me, as usual, although I am trying to get some time off scheduled. I just can't wait until November to get away--although I am very much looking forward to Lauren's wedding in Mexico!! I have started Weight Watchers and also a kickboxing class, both of which seem to be working, so far. I am totally LOVIN' the kickboxing, Buddy better watch out! I am not one to usually enjoy sweating my tushie off, but it is so fun, and I think I am actually sweating my tushie off, haha!!

Speaking of, Buddy is doing well. He is playing in the Highland Muny Band again this summer, so that is where we spend our Friday nights, and it is a great time. Other than that, he is just staying busy, working, keeping up the yards at our house and his mom's, etc. It is so cute to see him and Callie wrestling around on the living room floor in the evenings--Callie loves to spend that time with her dada!

Well, until next time...which hopefully won't be 5 months from now....take care and God bless!!

Slacker!

Okay, so a friend brought it to my attention that I have neglected my blog lately (thanks for the cyber-kick in the tushie, Michelle, lol!!), so I am on, albeit ever so quickly, to do a quick update.

This is the time of year that work gets crazy busy for me, so many things suffer in my life at this time, including my health. I am (finally) on the downside of a nasty case of sinusitis & bronchitis, along with either pleurisy or strained muscles from the coughing spells--not sure which, but it was incredibly painful either way!! Callie has also been sick, poor girl. She has been doing an insane amount of sleeping the last few days...seriously, like over 40 hrs of sleep from Friday night until this evening!! Other than some major clinginess & crankiness on Saturday, her mood hasn't been unusual, though. Not sure if her body just needed the rest to try to recuperate from the cold, or if is a growth spurt, or what.

I had a Miche Bag/Homemade Gourmet party this past weekend, which was nice, and I added three more Miche shells to my repertoire, which was also nice, lol! Buddy and I had a low-key Valentine's Day, although we did go to a Trivia Night on Saturday night (something I think I enjoy just a tad bit more than him). We didn't win, but we weren't in last place, either, so all in all, a good time!

Well, I had best get back to work, there are always more deadlines coming up to meet! I will try my hardest to get an update on here before Callie's birthday, lol!
