Yes, I'm Still Alive

Life is busy right now. Between working, parenting, housekeeping, cooking and sleeping it seems like I never get a chance to . . . [fill in the blank with just about anything here]. Some of my accomplishments include filing our increasingly complicated taxes (weeks later than I usually get this done!), cooking several new things for dinner, and having a bridal shower for JoyLynn. Some things I haven't done so well: maintaining a clean and organized house (things are definitely not up to my standards--I'm just in survival mode here); blogging; spending enough time driving with Sambo; making it to Parent-Teacher conferences.

I have been working out on my days off and that feels pretty good. (I still haven't figured out how to do it the other half of the week when I'm working and either sleeping most of the day or just plain exhausted.) I'm planning to buy a GoWearFit armband and display (like the Bodybugg) to monitor calories burned versus calories consumed and if any of you have tried this, I'd be interested to hear how it worked for you.

Not to make it sound like it's all work and no play: Janan, Jamie and I got together and celebrated the release of Twilight on DVD by hitting a midnight show and watching the DVD extras together the next morning. We bought our DVDs at Target where they have an exclusive 3-disc version with additional features for only 17.99.


So, just checking in. I think I might get to take a peek at some of your blogs today too!
