I feel as though I've gotten out of the "habit" of blogging. I still blog stalk so many great writers, but when it comes to telling my own stories... well, I feel like the well has dipped a bit low lately, and I need to conserve those tiny sips of water for my own parched throat.
But in the interest of memoriam, here are a few things that have been happening:
- Big Daddy and I are totally enamored with streaming Netflix via the Wii. We can't get enough of it, and our latest obsession is with Dexter. We started Season 1 on Monday & powered through the final 4 episodes last night. This is totally changing the way we watch TV.
- Big Sis went shooting for the first time this weekend. What's that? You didn't know we were packin' heat? Well, we are. Not me so much (although I do believe that photographs exist to the contrary), nor the kids - but Big Daddy knows his way around a gun barrel, and likes to exercise his right to bear arms. We decided to take a family drive so he could scope out a shooting range & I ended up leaving the two of them while J and I took a stroll around Target (believe me, everyone was happy with this arrangement). Her aim was pretty good - especially for a 6yo - and she was proud to show off her target.
- Weather has been hot, cold, and torrentially rainy. But when the sun comes out, the sky is a bright brilliant blue with no haze. Team that with a gentle western wind & Michigan doesn't seem so bad.
- We're starting our first garden plot. I've always wanted a little garden, and we decided that this would be a good way to stretch out our green thumbs & see if they turn black in full sunlight. Big Daddy dug out a 4' x 4' square, built a box planter, and we filled it with a couple of bags of organic soil. One more & we'll be ready for seeds. The thought of homegrown zucchini and tomatoes makes me a little giddy.
- This little guy cracks me up.
- My sister is getting married in July. Not only does this mean our family is getting bigger, it means we get to go to Cali for a few days! WHOOT! {I'd like to pre-order each meal to be Mexican food, please. Thank you for understanding}. Plus we'll also head back to NV for a few weeks of R & R at Lake Tahoe. Summer is looking up already!

Yea for updates - y'all are busy. Yea for LA - oh how I could eat mexican everyday of my life. And Ohio/Midwest seems to have slim pickings on authentic mexican food/tex-mex. But I'm all about any excuse to go on vacation!
I hear you on the lack of blogging thing - but I'm behind in blog stalking AND writing my own. I do like catching up on yours - you're a favorite of mine to read ;).
