Productive Day

It is so hard to find time for blogging, exercising, and cooking dinner. I work pretty much 10:00-9:30 PM in two different childcare positions, so those are the three things that are most put on the back burner. I'd like to do them more. Today, I have walked (with 2 1/2lb weights in each hand) a little over 3 miles and at the moment am writing this blog. The plan is to make Thai Chicken Pizza for dinner tonight courtesy of Rachel Ray. I had to find adequate duck sauce which I found at Hen House.

Finished season two of Sister Wives. I don't know how they do it. I'd rather be a wife with four husbands than a sister wife.

Well, off to the showers. One other thing, donate things you don't want to a secondhand store. Nowadays, you don't even have to load it up, just call the store and they will send a truck.

Holy Rally Squirrel Berkman

GO CARDINALS!!!! Now, time for bed. No, time to go to bed and lie there in the dark thinking how the f did that happen? Ha, ha and to dream about the handsome (without the beard), dependable, patient Berkman. Lance you are my man.

Pre-Cycle Insomnia

Right before my monthly time, I usually have a few nights where I can't sleep. I liken it to my body telling me it's my last chance to get pregnant, as if... I noticed a lot of people read my blog from postcrossing, thanks to you, I feel motivated to keep this more current. The cats are quiet (as I wrote that one jumped and grunt-meowed) and my husband is completely out. He never has trouble sleeping. The computer is the last place one should be if they are trying to get to sleep, as the light reduces the melatonin in our body, causing us to get less sleep, but it is the easiest place to write and doesn't give you a hand cramp as quickly. So yes, if you were wondering I now have two cats. When I was, in my head, more of a dog person and a dog was what I pined for in MN. Both cats came into my life, I did not choose them, they chose me and I think it is better that way. I have an orange swirled tabby named Gulliver Rambo Lucifer McGonagal and a black cat named Polka Dot (Dottie). I'm sure more names will present themselves as I learn more about her personality. Gulliver was brought home by my brother from church one night to be a barn cat and he climbed up onto my shoulder and into my heart. So regardless of the new leather couch at my parent's he was allowed to stay (currently laying against my thigh in bed). Dottie was found with her sister in the Arby's parking lot. My husband stopped when he saw her and I said, "We don't need another cat." Adorable, cuddly, lovey kittens are impossible to resist and that was all she wrote. Two are better than one anyway and now we have permanent Halloween decorations, (my favorite holiday). Currently, I am working on training them because contrary to popular belief, cats are smart and can learn many tricks. I'll keep you updated. It is just one of many things floating around in my brain tonight.

Trying to decide if I should just stick with digital scrapbooks or make a tangible one. There isn't too much customization with a free Smilebox account, but I don't have to shell out money to print pictures either...
