Wuddup?

I'm being forced, against my will, to update, so here's what I've been up to:

Remodeling Gavyn's room

Gavyn's birthday party

Gavyn's 'big' birthday present

Had to finally get more book dvdshelves and some fancy new art

New semester of school

Making cheddar at work

Being crazy

It's a bit nippy.

Well, it's official.  Bay News 9 announced that there is wet snow and sleet falling across parts of the Bay area.  I hurriedly informed James that it's snowing in Florida.  He couldn't believe the words coming out of my mouth, so he insisted that he see a picture as proof, since we're currently south of home at work.  So I "received" a picture from someone near our house of the little flurries, and had him come over to look at the photograph of the current weather conditions in our town...

Laughter ensued.

EDIT: I think he believes me now, there is sleet falling here in Florida.

My little (big) baby.

Isn't he just the most handsome little man you've ever seen?

So we meet again.

Forty and fifty degree weather, I know you so little...  Yet you bare a striking resemblance to one of those random friends or family members who thinks that they can just "pop in" unannounced and then stay for hours upon hours talking your ear off with no regard to time, or your level of interest.

This year I hate you.  I hate the chill that you give me when I slip out from under the blankets after a seemingly warm and cozy night, I hate how frigid you make my toilet seat so early in the morning, I hate how you attack my unsuspecting toes when the blanket just isn't quite long enough to reach them, and I hate how your continuously frosty weather has forced the people who normally visit my workplace to put their clothes on, stay home, and wait for warmer weather.  Yes, it's that time of year again.  For cuts.

I'm not sure how drastically this might affect our financial situation, since it's only a couple of hours per week, but if James' hours are also cut, we'll have to start making the cuts.  On our bills.

Today is Day 3 of my low-cal diet.  I'm trying to keep my calorie intake at about 1,100 per day.  So far it has been working for me.  I had never realized just how many calories I normally consume until I started paying attention...  Just, wow.  I'm surprised the Wii Fit calculated my BMI at Normal.  Anyways, I'm taking the initiative and finally setting out to lose the rest of those baby pounds, nearly three years later.  My goal is to be back at my pre-pregnancy weight and to make an honest attempt at becoming a little more physically fit.

Speaking of three years later, Gavyn will be turning three on January 14th.  It's just short of impossible for me to describe to you the mixed and bittersweet feelings that this brings to me.  So I'll just say that he is the sweetest boy you could ever possibly meet, and the day that I gave birth to him I knew my life would change forever.  It has, in the best possible way.  I can't wait to wish him a happy birthday for the third time with a little help from family, friends, and this one is obvious: Batman.
