Slaaaacka!

I had good intentions of reviving the every-day-blogging thing when I started back to work, but much like the start-every-day-at-the-gym thing, it hasn't happened. Actually (sadly) the gym thing went better. TWO whole days, not just one.

Anyway, try try again. I like the blog. Facebook just doesn't cut it for memories of my sweet kiddos. And the camera, it must come out again soon. And it probably will.

Soooo … a recap (again).
• After a couple of very lackluster attempts to start Ben on solids (cuz we'd like him to sleep thru the night before he's 2) with rice cereal, we hit paydirt with squash! He loves the squash. Peaches also. Still not rice cereal. Still not sleeping thru the night either, but what'cha gonna do?
• Ran that 10K. Well ran/walked it. Morning was freaking freezing. Never really felt like I got into it. But it was it's own sort of sadistic fun and I'd really like to keep improving and try again. Holly friend (cuz she's a good friend) stuck it out with me even though she could have finished much more quickly. We wheezed (me) and talked (her).
• Had another family reunion. They are always a good time (with more food than you can imagine) and my kid is always just about the only very little girl. Ben made a new friend and slept in her lap for over 2 hours. Party animal that kid.
• We got Mad Men on DVD from the library. LOVE it. Lost will be going back without being watched, though, I fear. Oh well.
• Speaking of the library, they are trying to charge me $15 for a book we returned that was “chewed by a dog.” This book was like this when we checked it out, so I am a bit miffed. I always fess up when we destroy things. Karma and all.
• Back to TV … Gossip Girl starts tonight. w00t! Also, I love Glee. Love it. Almost makes up for Make it Or Break It's hiatus.
• I am attempting to cook all week out of our pantry/freezer and not hit the grocery store for food. I do have to stop by on my way home for diapers and wipes and also a bottle of EVOO which I realize is technically foodstuffs, but you can't cook anything without it and we are out for some reason.
• I have a cold working on me. Hopefully I can bash it's buggy head in before it takes ahold. Since I can't get extra sleep to help out, I am dosing up on Emergen-C.
• Loved Chasing Fire (2nd book of the Hunger Games series). Now I need something new to read. Recommendtions? And don't say Twilight. I'm not a hater, but I am on a really long wait list at the aforementioned library for the audio books.

And … I'm out.
