February 16, 2010

You know what drives me nuts? When someone says they are done eating, and then as soon as I start moving toward the table to clean up, starts shoving food into his mouth like it's the last crackers he'll ever see on this earth.

Whine

I'm not sure why I haven't felt like writing lately. It could be because I don't seem to have anything interesting to write about, at least nothing that isn't a whine. It's more likely that by the time I finish updating Twitter and facebook, I've pretty much said all I have to say. Jut in case though, I'm going to list my bitches, and then maybe tomorrow I'll be able to write about our weekend or upcoming birthday's or my inability to decorate.

Let's start with the weather. Always a hot topic with me. This winter has been cold. Cold, without the usual random 70 degree days that perk me up. It's been cold, and dreary, and last week it snowed for 24 hours straight. We had at least 8 inches accumulate in our yard. Strangely, that's probably the only upside to the cold. At least snow is fun, until it goes all ugly.

I've had problems of and on with my camera. Particularly when I take our Christmas picture, the focus would always be behind the kids, on the tree. At first, I thought it was just me, trying to watch the kids faces and not paying close enough attention to the focus points. A year of some hit and miss action shots just convinced me that it was me, not the camera. Another set of out of focus Christmas pictures confused me, but it wasn't until I got what should have been some wonderful shots of the kids sitting outside on the wall that I was sure I had an equipment problem. I knew with absolute certainty that I had that focus point aimed properly, with room to spare. I need to take the the thing in to make sure it's just the lens, and not the camera body, but I'm already convinced that I'll have to get a new lens. The upside is that I have every intention of upgrading.

I the last month, every last one of us has had a cold. Some of us (me and Owen) seem to be dragging this thing out like it's fun. It's not.

Last summer, I decided I was going to get into shape and lose a few pounds doing it. I worked out. I ate less. I ate healthier. I gained weight. In the last couple months, I've completely given up with the eating right and exercise. Why bother, if I'm just going to get heavier and hungrier? I'm up another 5 pounds and have consumer record amounts of chocolate. (i'm not totally sure the last 5 pounds aren't weaning related. I just recently realized the same thing happened after Jamie. Sadly, it took nursing Katie to get rid of it last time, and that method just isn't available.)

The lack of sunshine and warm breezes is really starting to take their toll. Is it Spring, yet?
