Time To Turn the Page

Well, friends, it is time for the next chapter of my life.

Hubby and I have decided to move back to my hometown: Helena, MT. (Look it up-- no one knows where MT is...it's okay.)

It will be interesting to say the least. For one, he and I have lived in Florida for five years and have grown VERY accustomed to the balmy weather. For another- Mr. City Boy has never lived in a very small town. Okay, Helena is just small- not very small. :) Still, it's going to take a lot of adjusting. I hope he can handle it. But I think it will be good- we'll have a good support system (my parents live there, my childhood friends live there, etc), AND we'll be closer to California than we are now (that's where Hubby's mom lives). So...everyone wins. Kind of. :)

Let's just hope Monkey doesn't get lost in the snow. :)

Belated: What Love Is

Me (to Hubby, in the car on the way home Sunday evening): Soooo...are you going to watch the Grammys with me tonight?? (insert adorable/charming/convincing face here)

*Long pause....................I mean, really long.....like 30 full seconds, which is a long time for three people in a car, one of them being a toddler who never shuts up...........seriously, he talks in his sleep even.....I mean, what does a three year old have to say that is THAT important at two AM?.........*

Monkey (from the back seat): Nope!


Sometimes love is simply having two televisions in the house. :)

Random Ramblings

- Nutella. I've never had it, and kept recently seeing commercials for it, so I picked a jar up this weekend. Holy divine-ness. It's delish on toast!! My new favorite quickie breakie.

-Potty training: kind of the nightmare I expected it to be, and not as bad as I thought all rolled into one. Mostly it's just a lot of laundry.

- Queso dip really ought to be a food group of it's own. And it should be the biggest one. YUUUMMM...

- Kids are spoiled these days. I had to force Monkey to watch The Land Before Time. Once it was on he was hooked, but my GOSH the second he saw the cover and that it wasn't a Pixar computer animated film, he dismissed it. Children. I also forced him to watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit- and he was even MORE glued. As if Mama doesn't know best...

- Zac Brown Band. Kind of in love. Their new CD, You Get What You Give, is the first CD I've bought in over a year.

- I was disappointed in the Super Bowl ads this year. And the BEP's, although I was just relieved that we didn't have to suffer through another band of 60+ year olds in leather pant gyrating and trying to sing. Yikes. Perhaps since Fergie did not have any wardrobe malfunctions this year we can stop being punished for the Janet Catastrophe (was that OUR faults???).

- I am getting soooo burned out from life. Something needs to change, and soon.
