Dude...

...has it really been since the summer that I've posted to this thing?? Man, I'm slacking!! I apologize. I will do my best to correct the lack of time situation as soon as possible. In lieu of a post, here's some recent pics of my Little Man...

He's ready for his driver's license!! :)
We met Goldberg at the NAS Oceana Air Show
Yum, mac and cheese!!

Well, Karen asked for new pics... so, here you go!!!

...I even included a video...how nice of me. :)

He was looking for something under the sofa... I have no idea what he was looking for.

He has on his Poppy's ear protection from his days of working on airplanes.

"Doh...this is a SILLY song, Mommy!"

Speedy Gonzalez...

So, in the course of 5 weeks, I have managed to cut nearly 5 minutes off my mile!!! HOW FREAKIN AWESOME IS THAT?!?!? So, I started the last week in June running a 13:30...and now I'm down to 8:18. I feel freakin' fabulous, I'm losing weight, and by golly, I look pretty hott too. I only have 19 pounds to go til I'm where I was in May 2006...just before I got pregnant. Now that summer school is over today, I'll be hitting the gym every morning when I take Evan to school. Then, I'll come home, clean like a mad woman, and then go get him after his nap.

I would love to travel during the month of August, HOWEVER, I don't have the funds to spend on $1000 plane tickets to my destinations of choice. And I was looking, its not any cheaper to book MONTHS in advance...so, my thinking is... just save the money and then when I'm ready to go, it will be there and I can spend it!

I just scarfed down a SmartOnes 3 cheese ziti with marinara...and it was so gooooooooood. I love cheese. I think I loved it too much and thats why I have to bust my butt at the gym. I will definitely make better, more healthy choices with the next baby...but he won't be born for at least 3-4 more years... yes, I said HE... i don't think I'd know what to do with a girl, so I've got my fingers crossed for another boy already. And hey, if I have 2 boys, and Karen has 2 girls.....do I smell ARRANGED MARRIAGES???

I...

...am a mommy.
...think that when you're happy, nothing else matters.
...believe that my son is the coolest kid in the world!
...can't wait to get my Master's.
...wish I had time and money to travel.
...enjoy sitting on the couch watching movies.
...wish I had a housekeeper.
...know that my life is manageable.
...love Law & Order:SVU. (Secretly, I long to be a detective.)
...feel like I'm always waiting for things to happen.
...can't imagine life without my son.
...am what I am because of the choices I have made.
...love my job (most days).
...am silly, sweet, and loveable.

One of my new faves....

I love to watch So You Think You Can Dance... this is one of my most favorite dances, and one of my new favorite songs... I hope you enjoy it as much as I do/did.

just keep on going

one day at a time... one foot in front of the other, keep on going...
