lately

There has been a whole heck of a lot going on in my head lately. Somehow though, I’ve had a hard time sitting down in front of the computer to blog it. I still find ways to compulsively show my life, in the form of tweets and facebook status updates --the subject of another blog post that has been brewing in my head—but am rarely in the frame of mind to crank out more than those 140 characters in any given moment.

So, here I sit, with one million new things to tell the blog world, but no idea where to begin. I know that if I write, in detail, about every little occurrence that I think should be shared no one will still be reading by the end. Enter, the Twitter inspired blog-list. I don't promise to strickly adhere to the character limit though, since I'm too lazy to count and blogger doesn't do it for me.

• Ethan: had another double ear infection that put him out of commission for three days, still travels only by rolling and tried big-boy food for the first time on Monday.
• Mother’s Day: Darrell bravely took the ailing baby for portraits, and happily, even got into a couple of the shots. I’m totally the luckiest mommy in the world.
• Darrell: Finished the semester from H-E-doublehockeysticks with A’s and B’s. I’m so proud, and feel like we both deserve a round of strong alcoholic beverage. We’d settle for a night out together though.
• Random: I can never spell the word ‘alcohol’ right the first time. Same with ‘Restaurant.’ This is why we have spell-check.
• Work: Some of the challenges are making me want to crawl under a rock, but I’m just so grateful that there are challenges.
• Girls: Will be here for the summer on the 24th. So happy about that but we’re scrambling to make plans for them during the day while we work.
• Sports: For some reason we watch basketball now.
