So, obviously...

the post a day thing didn't work out. I had great intentions, but then we had a couple of nights where the computer was having issues, then Jonathan was having issues going to bed, and so on, and so on.

Last week was pretty uneventful. Tuesday we went to story time with my moms group at The Learning Express; they were reading stories about Curious George, who Jonathan loves. I think he's still a little too young to really enjoy sitting still & listening to books, but we had a good time.

Wednesday was Weight Watchers. I lost another pound; yay me! As I've said before, I really need to add exercising to my routine, but just haven't found the motivation yet. I think it would help kick things up a notch. My friend Jennifer is a member at BodyPlex, and has a free pass, so I may go check it out.

Thursday Chris' grandmother & aunt came by to visit & see Jonathan. While they were here I took advantage of their presence & left Jonathan with them to run a couple of errands. Sometimes it's nice to just get out of the house alone for a bit. I was only gone for about an hour, but it was nice.

Friday was Bible Study at Letitia's house. It was a great study on perserverance and I came away with some new thoughts. Jonathan had a great time too playing with the other kids. That evening we watched Pirate's of the Caribbean: At World's End. It was okay. I was on the laptop playing on the internet for the first part, so for the rest of the movie I was completely confused.

Saturday morning Chris played golf with his dad, so Jonathan and I just piddled around until he got home. That afternoon we went grocery shopping & then to Chris' parents house for a bit. Jonathan was too funny at their house going from toy, to toy, to toy. He'd play with one for a couple of minutes & then move on to the next one. In a little circuit.

Yesterday we went to our usual restaurant for lunch. I love that they know us in there. There are several people that seem to go there every week too, and we see them often. One couple we've sat at the same table with several times. I think they were on vacation this week because we didn't see them. Last week I remember hearing them talk about going somewhere. After lunch, Chris had to go to his parent's house & help his dad fix something; so he took Jonathan with him & I went out for a bit. I went to the library & checked out a few books, to Lane Bryant (where I didn't find anything), and then to Blockbuster. We rented Ocean's Thirteen, which was good.

So, now that you've had a play by play of my entire week (which I'm sure you greatly appreciate! LOL), I'll leave you with a picture. This one was taken exactly one year ago today. He's grown so much, it's amazing! I'll try and get some good pictures over the next couple of days to post.

Super Bowl Sunday

Congrats to the New York Giants for winning Super Bowl XLII! What a great game! I was kind of hoping that the New England Patriots would win, simply because I thought it would be neat for a team to go undefeated all the way through; but it was not to be. We had a little Super Bowl party this evening. Rebecca, the Clavells & Lisa's cousin Stephanie & her kids all came for the festivities. And by festivites I mostly mean snacking & chatting. Chris & Michael stayed in the living room watching the game, but us ladies would venture into the kitchen to chat. It was quite fun. Poor Victoria didn't have a very good time though. Apparently on Friday she was cleaning out her ears & stuck the Qtip in her ear too far. She may have burst the ear drum or something as she's in a lot of pai. I think Lisa is planning to take her to the doctor tomorrow.

I wanted to "fish" for suggestions... Mine & Chris' 10 year anniversary (!) is coming up in May and we'd like to take a vacation; but we can't decide where to go. Any and all suggestions are welcome...

Okay, off to bed... until tomorrow...

First haircut...

I finally bit the bullet & agreed to have Jonathan's hair cut today. At first he was fine, and then it was like he realized what was happening... and just kind of lost it. I felt so bad for him, and I have to admit I cried a little, but he looks super cute. I'm going to post pictures... it was going to take forever to upload all of them, so I'm just going to post the link to the album on Photobucket. Let me know if this doesn't work.

First Haircut Pictures

I think I'll try...

posting every day in February. Why? Why not?

Today was pretty low key; I haven't been feeling very well, so we pretty much did nothing all day. Tomorrow I'm meeting Rebecca & Laurel for breakfast at IHOP then we're headed to the Rubber Stamp Show. Hopefully I'm feeling better in the morning.

Also, depending on what time we get done at the show, Chris and I may take Jonathan to get his first haircut! I've been fighting this for quite some time; it's the last "baby" thing that we haven't done yet. I know he'll look so much more like a little boy, and not so much like a baby. Granted, I'm sure you noticed from the park pictures the other day, he doesn't look much like a baby anymore, haircut or not. But, it's about time for the haircut, it's scraggly in the back & almost long enough to get into his eyes in the front. I'll definitely take some pictures & post them.

Well, off to bed. I need to get up early in the morning. *See* you tomorrow...

I'm not a nerd.....

I'm a man(n).... (Haley & Dad will understand)

another one bites the dust...

another pound that is! I was hoping to lose a little bit more, I'm only .6 away from 20 pounds, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. (What does that mean exactly?) I think I probably wasn't as careful as I could've been on our scrappin' day Saturday, but I can learn from my mistakes & move forward. Sunday we're having a Super Bowl party, so I'm trying to make sure & have healthy snack choices available. I was hoping to make some fat free No Pudge brownies, but I'm having a hard time finding the mix. They're really good, and only 2 points per brownie! I'm going to do some more hunting; let's hope I'm able to find them.

Do you have any good low/no fat dessert recipes?

What's up Cuz...

My cousin Chris is in town on business, so he & a co-worker, Glenn, came by tonight for dinner. We had a great time catching up. Of course Jonathan was the star of the show; they were definitely getting a big kick out of him. Here's a picture of Jonathan & Chris. Ain't they cute!

It was great seeing you, Chris! Hopefully we can get together again the next time you're in town.
