I am not as stupid as I thought

I think I am figuring it out. With help from Ryan and my sister I finally, with much trial and error, got my blog to look half way cute. (It only took about 7 hours) What do you think? Is it too busy?

For Linda

I couldn't get on blogger all night. So first thing this morning I checked and tada! So here are bathroom pics and some pics we took of Blake with our new camera.

I don't know if you can tell the paint color from these wonderful pictures but it is a neutral greenish. I am pretty sure that is the actual name.The white spots on the wall are where we decided not to waste paint or texture becuase that is where the mirrors will be.So close to being finished...I hope.

Blake and I had some fun with the camera yesterday. Here are a few of the products...And at the bottom, a picture of our neglected child.

And just so you know...I am still trying to figure out how to make my blog cute? Can I do it myself? How does everyone have those cute headers and I can freaking figure out how to do it!!! Someone let me in on the secret! Or I am going to have to just change my template everyday so that I feel a little better about myself.

What the...??!!??

I can't get onto blogger from my home computer. I was freaking out all day today. I can get on blogs but I can't see or post comments. It tells me that the page cannot be displayed. I also can't get onto blogger so I can't post. What in the heck is going on? Any suggestions???? I have pics to post and I can't do it. BTW I am using Ryan's work puter to post this.

I was looking back at some of my old posts and I used to be a lot funnier. I need some new material. You would think that having a baby would provide some new material but the mommy brain myth is totally true. I am waaayyy stupider now than before Blake was here. Anywho...Ryan is home now and hopefully he can fix the dang computer.

Sweatin to the Oldies

I have decided to start working out again. Last weekend I was in Abilene and I went to work out with my mom and I decided after that day that I REALLY needed to start doing some type of cardio excercise. I went and ran one day and that sucked. It hurt every time my feet hit the pavement and plus my boobs were all over the place. They hurt really bad and I just wanted to hold them while I ran but I knew that would be awkward so I tried the oh-so-subtle wrist hold. You know... hold your arms really tight to your body and use your wrists to keep your boobs in place. That worked for awhile. But then I started to get cramps near my shoulder from making my muscles so tense.
So last night I bought a Biggest Loser workout dvd. I just did the 5 minute warm up and the level one cardio workout. My butt is already sore. I think that this is going to be great. I have several more pounds I would like to lose. My goal is seven pounds before I go back to school. That means I have one month. The countdown is on!

Since my mom came this weekend to keep Blakester Ryan and I got quite a bit of work done on the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom that we started working on before Blake was born and is still not done yet. But major progress was made. Thanks for your help mom! Blake was so sad to see Mimi leave that she decided to cry from 5:30 when we arrived at small group (and left early because she wouldn't stop) until approximately 8:30. That's three hours of crying in case you couldn't add. Thanks, Blake. That was awesome.

Where da skunk?

On Tuesday night we had Heather, Jonathan, Laine and Bowen over for a late Valentine's day dinner. (Ryan was sick on the real V-day) I cooked...look out. And while I was in the kitchen cooking Bowen came in and stood next to me for a while. Here is how our conversation went.
Bowen: Where da skunk?
Mere: What, buddy?
Bowen: Where da skunk?
Mere: laughing What skunk?
Bowen: holding his nose It mells. Where da skunk?

Bowen walked around the living room for a while making a really bad face, holding his nose and continuing to ask "Where da skunk?"

So now I am a little worried. Was it my cooking? Does my house "mell"? Whatever it was Bowen was real convinced it smelled like skunk. So much, that he had Ryan go with him to look for the skunk in our bedroom. Awesome.

Tomorrow...

I always say to myself...I will write on my blog tomorrow. And then I don't. Blake is screaming her head off right now, so I am shifting into mommy mode. But here are some pics until I can think straight and write something interesting.

New blog title

When I first created this blog I couldn't think of a title. So I just titled it Enter Original Title Here but I decided it needed a real name. So here you go. I am also trying to figure out how in the heck to make my blog look cute like everyone elses. I was less than successful, obviously...but I did pick some new colors. Wow, Mere, that is really creative...

New hair cut

here are the pics for those that asked (and those that didn't ask). please only leave positive comments...if you don't like it make up something nice to say.
