Has it been THAT LONG since I updated?!

Oh my gosh - I am SO bad at this whole updating my blog thing. Welp, this is one thing that I can't cross off my list. Oops. I guess I haven't really updated because I haven't been able to take pics of stuff - but that's no excuse. Boo.

Anyway. I've been super busy with work and life, too, but that's not a viable excuse, either. I've been keeping track of my list and have started some things [and have intentions of starting other things soon]. I finished reading the first two books in the Twilight series and am officially hooked. It's so fun to read them, especially since three of my buddies at work love the Twilight series. Clips from New Moon keep coming out, and we all freak out together and watch them at work. It's so awesome. :) I'm waiting to start Eclipse because I think my sister's boyfriend has it with him. I have to go track him down and get it - I'm dying to start the next one.

I've been readily searching for a crock pot and think I finally found the one I want [courtesy of Wal-Mart.com]:

It's a Hamilton Beach Set 'n Forget Probe Slow Cooker from Wal-Mart. J and I found one today when we went to Wal-Mart to get my oil changed, and I love it. I love the digital setting, the fact that the lid snaps on, and I didn't even know it had a probe when we saw it there. I'm asking for this for Christmas and will be keeping my eye on this, but this is definitely the one I want. I wish JCPenney had it - this would justify the $200 gift card I need to use there. [side note: i also need ideas for where to get crock pot cookbooks...so if you have one i should get, lemme know!]

I've been digging around for multi-vitamins, too...but I need to do more research before I commit to one. I've decided that I don't want to have another baby until 2011 [which means we'll probably start trying around this time next year], so I may need to find a multi-vitamin that'll keep me in baby-making form for awhile. Don't even know where to start with that, so I'll do some more research and see how this goes.

I'm thinking about turning this blog into my regular blog as well...use this to post updates on my life and such. I have another blog that's all about wedding stuff, but I'm not sure if the wedding will happen anymore [long story]...so I may just delete it and move my life to this one. I love to blog and chronicle my life anyway, so it won't be hard to do. As long as people don't mind reading about me rambling on, it all works out. :) I guess that's all for now...I'm exhausted and need to head to bed. More updates later!

p.s. Love that the Phillies made the World Series again, but NOT thrilled that the Yanks made it, too. Boo.

p.p.s. NBA season starts this week - I had my fantasy basketball draft yesterday. YAY! I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few people out of all of my friends that likes the NBA, but whatever. I'm excited about it. Woo!

Dinner with my mom.

So the 1st was when I could start, and I've been doing things on my list here and there. I'm currently reading Twilight - and am freaking HOOKED - and I have New Moon to start soon. I'm hoping to get a good chunk of Twilight read this weekend and while I'm flying to Houston...my personal goal is to have both books read by the time New Moon comes out next month. So excited.

Last night, I took my mom out to dinner - we went to Panera in OKC. It was so fun to just talk to my mom about all this random crap that's been going on in my life. She and I are pretty close, but we spend a lot of time talking about work when we're on the phone or together. Last night, it was just like when I was in high school, which was fun. And JJ was ALL over the place - such a boy - so we were talking about him, how much he's grown...kinda hard to believe that there are three generations in my family now.

Speaking of JJ, he's just the most amazing little boy ever. I'm so blessed to have such a great baby on my hands - he rarely gets fussy, he's content to play by himself [as long as he's surrounded by toys], and he's SO much fun to have around. Teeth no. 7 and 8 popped up on Tuesday, so we finally got him his own toothbrush and toothpaste. I can't believe we're starting to brush his teeth! Time is flying WAY too fast.

Anyway, the list is coming along just fine right now. I need to jack my mom's camera at home so I can start taking pictures and posting them of all the stuff I do...make this thing more interesting to follow. :) I'll update again soon!

Oh yeah - I bought a new journal yesterday, too. I'm such a dork...I was WAY excited to find one that I actually like. And it's got a lot of pages, so this one should last me awhile. It'll be cool to keep a personal recount of this time in my life. :)

Getting a jump on the list.

I'm still chomping at the bit to start on this list...I can barely wait another five days to really start on it! But, as I posted last time, I got stuff to update the kitchen - and I'll be using some of that today when I cook dinner for me and my sister.

Well, today is another jump - I'm finally starting the Twilight series. I'm afraid that as soon as I get started, I'm gonna get addicted, but I really want to start them. I'm hoping I can get the first two done before New Moon comes out in November...but these are pretty big books, so I don't know if that's possible!

I'm watching Gilmore Girls on Soap, too...I freaking love Gilmore Girls. Three years ago at Christmas, I watched four complete seasons in two weeks. I don't think it'll take too long to get that part of my list done when I get started.

I guess I'd better take advantage of what's left of the day and do some cleaning and reading. Enjoy your Sunday!
