Reading

So once again I find myself not updating the poor blog. It is amazing how a thing that only exists in some invisible reality can cause me so much shame and guilt for not being more attentive.
So today, as a quick attempt to update and move forward I will list random things floating in my head. For those of you that have ever watched Lost, this might be familiar, recap in 8 minutes..

1. I have pictures from Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day really I do.. I even have them in a folder labeled 'best of intentions' to post.. well that didn't happen.

2. In your mind picture fun.

3. For Halloween John and I dressed up as CSI agents. Mine was overtly sexualized and I continued to question while I was wearing it why the men's costume was a practical jumpsuit and the women's consisted of a tight dress with a two way zipper? My feminist theory rears its ugly head once again.

4. we watched as the life slipped out of my grandfather. He died the day before Thanksgiving.

5. we cried

6. John and I hosted Thanksgiving at Cove House this year. We cooked, we decorated, we entertained, we were really quite proud of ourselves. Despite the lose of my grandpa, we laughed and had a great time.. it was a good distraction.

5. The Holidays were beautiful, I wrote and did research, then decorated gingerbread houses, than ate, ate, ate and ate some more, then opened presents, ate.

6. New Years marks my sweet mom's birthday. We snowshoed, laughed, and ate dinner and cake at Cove House.

7. I rested for a week. I worked, watched movies, read a book (that didn't involve any sort of research!), I cuddled with my honey and played with Ebi.

8. We joined the gym. I have vowed this new year to work on my fitness and go to the dentist. That is all I have to do. My fitness is going well... yoga twice a week, gym three times a week, walks and outdoor sports the rest of the time. As for going to the dentist, well... I'm thinking about working on it.

9. We had Jane and Merlin over for dinner

10. John left for Africa

11. school started. Back to having my head lost in a book 24/7

12. I discover mice in the house.

13. my dad and I kill two mice. I feel bad.

14. I find a beautiful vintage lamp

15. I buy it

16. I go to yoga with mom and dad

17. eat dinner

18. hang out with Rachel

19. spend lots of good quality time with my family and myself!

20. my TA post begins (cue Darth Vader theme)

21. Ebi gets a bath

22. I read, write, read, read, read, read, highlight, read, read, make notes

23. John returns

24. YEAH!!

25. we hug, we kiss

26. John goes to school

27. work, school, work, school, read

28. one of my old docents at the museum points to my belly and asks if I am pregnant, maybe I need to hit the gym harder.. or slap the docent.

29. A new season of Lost begins tonight at 9/8c.

end of update.
