So where have I been?

There are so many reasons I haven't had time to write. To name a few...

1. Your newfound mobility

Wow - this changes everything, and I do mean everything. I won't be surprised if I don't get another thing done until your 20. Really women out there, how do you do it?

2. The great cleanse

Both you and I got a horrible stomach bug. We knew you were sick when you woke up with puke down your front and the other stuff filling your jammies all the way up. Poor thing, you must have been miserable. Luckily, you seemed to recover quickly and after only a day you were back to your old self.

I, on the other hand, was reduced to a pile of mushy goo after this one. I don't think my insides have been that clean since I was born. After a couple of days of gastrointestinal fireworks, I was unbelievably weak and only able to stomach things like rice and jello. I really did myself in as I started to feel better and craved bacon. Really. Bad. Idea. That set me back to about 1989. I'm just starting to feel like myself now, two weeks later.

3. Crazy job situation

I'll have to post about it later. Let's just say employment drama has taken it out of me.

4. Dragon boat practices started

I love being on the team but wow, 2-3 practices every week sure squeezes my schedule. Sadly, we have a family reunion over the race days so I have had to quit the team early. I'll be heading down to a few practices here and there though to get some time on the river. Ahhhhh.

5. Mad Men Season 1

Whoa - I am loving this show. We finally got the DVD's from the library after requesting them back when we had a white president (it was a long time ago). So after putting you in bed, we've been traveling back to the 60's era New York by watching this show and I'll tell you what, I am so glad I live in the current day. I don't always appreciate the women's liberation movement but THANK YOU. Really, THANK YOU!! I have found new appreciation for my employment options/suffrage/egalitarian marriage/reproductive rights/education/freedoms/respect/and so much more.

6. Easter

Now, how is it Easter? And how is your birthday only 3 weeks away? I must be in some sort of time warp because I'm still thinking it's January.

7. Good weather

FINALLY. Who can stay indoors when the sun is finally shining. Speaking of which, gotta go...
