Temporarily Offline

It might be another week before I update. I'm in the process of packing up the house (oh the joys) and I think I'm going to lose my computer in the next day or two. Moving day is Friday, so I'll see you all some time next week.

Happy blogging!

The end of kisses....

Tornado T is only 16 months old. He's too little not to be returning kisses anymore, but that is exactly what he's doing. For a while when I would make kissy noises he would pop out the binkey and run to give me a kiss. Not anymore. Now when I make kissy noises he will come, lean over until his forehead touches my lips, leave it there for a minute, and then back up. It's sweet in his own way.

I just earned a sparkly sticker!

Sparkly stickers.... it's the next generation of a gold star. Why did I get a sparkly sticker? I exercised! Now, I have been walking in the mornings, but it's more of a stroll. I don't get winded; mainly it is an appreciate the beautiful morning walk. I bought a bench and a tape from a friend and decided that there was no time like the present to make my investment pay off. And pay it did. I start the 30 minute beginner routine thinking this is going to be a piece of cake! I found out that all the times that I told myself that I was in shape, I was lying. 20 minutes in I'm thinking is it ever going to end? Then the perky little blonde starts in on the *power* moves. Hello! I'm already sweating and tired. In my previous exercising days, when I started to sweat that was my signal to quit. Who likes to sweat? But I'm thinking that particular mode of thinking is what has led me to my current state. Maybe next week I'll actually finish the routine instead of fast-forwarding to the cool down.

Every day that I exercise I get a sticker. It's enough incentive for toddlers who are potty training, so I'm hoping that seeing a sparkly sticker on my calendar is enough incentive to keep me exercising.
