I'm a tired pony

I feel as if I don't have much to update on right now, even though it's been just over 2 weeks since I last posted. I contemplated writing a post about beard envy because Mike got such a good response going. Problem is I've never had beard envy because I've never wanted a beard. Although...beards make me think of pirates, pirates make me think of sailing, sailing makes me think of travel, and then I get travel envy. I have travel envy. We get to go the Island for a wedding the last weekend in March so that should suffice me for now:)

The past couple weeks have seemed busy but they've been full of good adventures. This past week has been a little tiring. Mostly mentally and emotionally draining, lots going on. I had hoped to relax a little this weekend so after attending a 1 and 3 year old's joint birthday today I think a nap can be squeezed in. Tomorrow I'm looking forward to going to the engagement party of a very dear friend. And then we start all over again on Monday. I cannot believe that January is almost over...what the heck happened?!

That's all I got right now, but when Amelia is telling you to post you know you've been a bad, bad blogger...



*FYI: "Oy vei! Enough with the poodles already!" is from The Gilmore Girls.

Wah-wah-wee-wah!

So far '07 is off to a great start. Plenty of Starbucks, a little work, a lot of play, a turkey dinner with Mike's family, Body Worlds 3 at Science World, dinner and visit with some very fine friends and their cute kids, those same friends let me try out their Wii (LOVE IT! I think this is the gaming system for me), guacamole, snow (slushy as it is/was), and the beat goes on.

On the 2007 line-up we already have 2 weddings to attend (March 31st and May 19th), a baby-sitting gig next weekend followed by dinner and a visit, a possible trip to Blasted Church Winery (I'm hoping it's not the same weekend as one of the weddings), a birthday dinner for a friend in February, 3 children's birthday parties to attend in January...oy vei, enough with the poodles already!

Now, do not be alarmed, but you only have 9 days left. 9 days in which to experience Body Worlds 3 at Science World. We went with Mike's brother, his sister and her boyfriend. We also saw some other friends there and chatted for a minute or 2. Now, I realize some of you may think this exhibit is sketchy but I thought it was astounding! As Borat would say "Wah-wah-wee-wah!" I saw plastinated bodies and body parts such as clogged arteries vs. a healthy artery, smoker lungs vs. regular lungs, emphysema, lungs with cysts, brains, Alzheimers brain, stroke brain, livers and spleens-enlarged for various reasons and regular...and I touched a plastinated kidney. It felt just like plastic/rubber. And we saw a sliced cross-section (head-to-toe way) of an obese, 300 pound, 50 year-old man who died of something to do with his heart. That was incredibly gross. But don't worry, the last 3 days they are open for 60 hours straight. Just do it.

2007, I think you're winning me over. Oy vei, enough with the poodles already!*
