Lame

Ok I'm lame. I haven't posted in forever and I'm not even putting any pics. Sorry guys.

Here's an update anyway. Once I upload my camera, you'll get Halloween and all kinds of other fun times. :) Promise.

1. I am Happy! It's been forever since I could truly say that. I think the planets have finally aligned to create my happy place. Let's just hope it lasts.

2. I really shouldn't be happy. Adam has been gone for a week now and he'll miss EVERYTHING this deployment. Josh's birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, our 10th anniversary, Alyssa's bday, Nona's birthday, and my fabulous getaway weekend with my girlfriends. It sucks! Yet somehow, I'm still happy. Ah adversity.

3. Alyssa, Adam's sister has been staying with us. She's amazing. I absolutely love having her here. Yes we had some crazy drama at the beginning, but now that things have mellowed out, I can say that I'm going to be really sad when she goes.

4. What's up Monday luncheons? Where is everyone? This party used to be rocking! Now, as I write during the potluck (yes...no one is here), I'm feeling somewhat unloved and so not cool (yet still happy!). At least I can count on Marianne. :)

5. Here is something I've been meaning to share. Do you hate coming up with dinner menus? Do you hate creating the shopping lists to go with those menus? I have the solution for you. Woman's Day magazine online has free monthly menus complete with shopping lists. It's pure genius. I don't like to cook, but when there is a plan involved, oh life is so much sweeter. Most of the meals are healthy. There's variety and you can always modify to your needs. So here's the link. Go...enjoy. http://www.womansday.com/Articles/Food/Month-of-Menus!

6. My friend Sharla hooked me up with some yoga dvds. Now, I know, I teach yoga, but Centergy is mainstream and I've been wanting a challenge. These dvd's rock! I've feel like a twisted happy pretzel. I love it!

7. My awesome husband read this book. Food Matters. So now we're eating little meat and little to no refined sugars. I'm making granola. Yeah. and doing yoga. and I'm hippy...I mean happy.

Ok...done for now. Have a great happy day. Marianne's here. We're going to party.

Missing books

I've joked about making a list of who actually borrows my books and now I'm thinking that I should have. Darn. I'm missing some of my favorite books, so if I lent them to you, please let me know. I can't seem to track them down and I haven't seen them since the spring of this year.

Book 1

Book 2-3
- Vampire Diaries

and the Sookie Stackhouse Novels

If you've seen them, have them, or know who I lent them out to please let me know. I miss them. sniff. sniff.

Another cute Quote

So, Bryson has been yelling, screaming, crying all morning.

Adam: It's just not your morning is it, Bryson.

Grant: Nope, It's my morning.

Quote of the day

Adam visited the kids at school yesterday. In Bryson's kindergarten class they were discussing how the kids woke up for school. Did their parents wake them up, alarm, etc. Adam was totally expecting Bryson to say my brother, or the alarm...nope.

Teacher: Bryson, How do you wake up in the morning?

Bryson: My SMELLY BED!

The "Gay" part

Ok folks. Mystery solved! Remember when Grant used to request the "gay" part. It was usually in reference to a tv show or movie. Adam figured it out this weekend. I'm so excited to finally know! Here's a clue. Some "gay" movies include: The Goonies, Scooby Doo, and Star Wars 3. Tv Shows could include: Heroes, again Scooby Doo, and Bones. Sometimes he'll peek over when I'm catching up on my shows. Do you know what it is yet?

Gay = Scary!
