You should have seen the nast going on with my shirt today at the gym. Actually, you didn’t want to see it. I’ve never been that dripping wet before and I blame the new StairMasters! They are rotating real stairs that you have to climb over and over again without stopping. If you miss a step, you die. No, you just trip a little and have to catch up, but it’s still really hard! I did it for 20 minutes, after I had already done 50 minutes on the Eliptical. I was a hot mess. But you know, I kind of want to get up tomorrow morning and do it all again. It’s the best kind of torture.

I look around this house and just feel like getting rid of everything. I need to sell a bunch of stuff before we move, not only for the extra cash but just to get rid of all the crap! It’s sad, but I put a bunch of my yarn on eBay yesterday. I wouldn’t have been able to do that a few months ago, but now I’m in the zone where I’m not even attached. All I care about is getting our home and starting fresh! Anyway, guess what? It’s only been one day and I’m already making $50 on my auctions! And seriously, I’ve been carrying this yarn around in boxes for years. I just don’t have the time to do all the projects I want right now. (I did finish my felted squid, though!) Maybe someday, and then I’ll just go back to eBay and buy someone else’s yarn. :)

Here it is again…the first round of auditions on the hugely addicting show, So You Think You Can Dance?. It’s basically American Idol all over again. Only with dancers. Or people who just want to be on TV. Now that AI is over, I’ll definitely be tuning in. Unlike most people on AI, there are actually some very talented people, so the whole thing isn’t a complete joke. I mean, it’s still a joke. But not such a bad one. That’s kind of the most you can ask out of reality television, right?

And after the day we had today, I just want to get lost in a dumb show right now. We were up late last night pulling together another offer on a house. Today, after scrambling around and a million phone calls and emails, we found out it just wasn’t going to happen. It sold before we could even get our offer evaluated. Jason and I are just so emotionally drained right now. But we are pulling through and moving forward. We’re seeing another house tomorrow morning, so keep your fingers crossed for us!

I’m so excited about getting away this summer. I really can’t believe it is almost June, either. That’s crazy. Anyway, Seattle is going to be so fun. I love, love, love road trips! The best part is stopping at gas stations and raiding their little shopping marts, buying all sorts of crap for 99 cents, like trucker bandannas and keychains that say “I Love Jesus.”

Ah…vacation!

I’ve been kind of lost lately. At least from the blogging world. With Jason recovering from surgery (everything went fine, by the way), I’ve been extra busy with the kids, the house, the dogs…and me (sort of). There actually hasn’t been a whole lot of ME time. That’s why I’ve been MIA.

Finally Jason is feeling a bit better. I liked taking care of him for the first…oh, 2 days. Then it got tiring. I just feel so bad for him, too, because while I’m sure he loves being served and treated like a King, he really is miserable.

I’m really looking forward to this weekend. He gets the final two splints out of his nose (did I mention he had septoplasty?) and I think he’ll be lots more comfortable. It is nice having him home, however. Even though he can’t do much, having him here means I can run to the store or to the gym for an hour and leave the baby! Even those tiny breaks make all the difference.

‘Cuz it’s Mother’s Weekend. At least it should be. So, I think we’re starting tonight by going to dinner. At least that’s what Jason suggested last night. And tomorrow I get the full blown celebration, since my stepson has to leave us Saturday night. Then Sunday is the actual day, so I get to extend the special treatment all the way through the weekend. Yay! Happy Mother’s Day Weekend everyone!

I was finally able to get up at 6 this morning and go to the gym. I took a little break, mainly because I have been going to bed so late and can not even move my body at 6 am.

But, last night I told myself that the gym is more important than watching House Hunters International and fell into bed at 10:30. And this morning, it paid off. I worked out for an hour. What’s sad, though, is that I totally noticed the time I took off. I’ve got to get back into the regular routine now so I don’t take any more steps backward.

That’s Squid’s new way of saying he wants “cereal.”

I hate buying the sugary shit, so I try to just get anything healthy. I tried Mini Wheats, but he didn’t go for them. Then I noticed the new Strawberry Delight Mini Wheats on the shelf. Not something I would personally eat, but I thought he might like them.

So, anyway, late last night while Jason and I were watching Walk Hard (very freaking funny, by the way…), I got the munchies. I wanted cero! All we had was the strawberry Mini Wheats. Arg! I decided to try it.

Two bowls later…

Oh my Christ, they are so good!
