This ‘n That

I haven’t been blogging much lately, not because I have nothing to talk about – au contraire – we’ve been uber busy ever since we got back from New York.

I just think my brain decided to take an extended vacation. I’ve been having trouble forming complete thoughts.

So here’s what’s been going on:

• Mario Kart. Lots and lots of Mario Kart. Dave’s parents got us a Wii for Christmas (!!!!) and I hate to say it, but it’s been more than a little distracting :) I am not a video game person at all but I have a deep, deep love for Mario Kart.
  
  Lily’s been getting in on the fun too:
  
  
• Goals. Lots and lots of goals. I’ve never really been one to write down my New Year’s Resolutions, but this year I’m trying to change that. Accountability is a beautiful thing. More on that later.
  
  
• Exercise. Lots and lots of exercise. The Life Insurance Lady might say I weigh less, but the waistband on my pants is telling a different story. And regardless of my weight, I ought to be exercising so I can be healthy. It’d also be nice if my middle section didn’t “jiggle like a bowl full of jelly” when I laugh, too…whatever happened to my core strength?
   
  Never mind….I remember :)
  
  
• Reading. Lots and lots of reading. Good stuff. Convicting stuff. Life changing stuff. More on that later too.
  
  
• Freezing. Lots and lots of freezing. I know I’m not alone either – from what I hear, most of the country is living in a refrigerator just like we are. I miss global warming…*sigh*
  
  
• Cleaning. Lots and lots of cleaning. And yet, somehow…my house is still a mess. Tell me, how is it possible that I can clean all.day.long and yet things still look like this:
   
  Oh yes…that’s right…I have a toddler…a.k.a Human Tornado: 
  I’m not sure how I ever managed to mail out Christmas cards before she was around to “help” me.

So that’s the past week or so in a nutshell. Maybe one of these days I’ll stop being lazy and write an actual post or two.

Or maybe I’ll just keep boring you with bullet points :)
