Still breathing

Not dead ... not gone ... just haven't had the desire to sit down and write. I suck at typing (if you haven't been able to tell before, from all of my tehs .... ) so to get the stream of thought coming from my head onto the computer screen sometimes just takes too much effort.

I want to start back up again - it was always a great way of venting, without getting in trouble). I will soon.

For now, I am fine, still trying to lose my last few pounds (I fit into a skirt I wore right before my wedding - now that is more like it!), and enjoy the last half of Summer!

Family Fun

I finally convinced E that evenings in the Summer cannot always be about working on the house. So, yesterday we packed the boys up and headed over to Twin Lakes - a golf course/park/lake.

We bought dinner and sat out on the patio ... hot dogs for the boys, grilled chicken for me (and some french fries) and a burger for E. Big J loved sitting by the water and watching the fish swim by. Little j enjoyed running around the deck for a while.

After dinner we took a paddle boat ride. Thank GOD we only had it for a half hour. Little j hated wearing the life jacket and pretty much screamed *screamed* the entire time. Joy.

Big J got a kick out of riding and just wanted to go faster!

After the peaceful and quiet (HA HA HA) boat ride we bought the boys ice cream cones and walked around for a bit. It was actually a fun evening.

I worked on my logos for the business for a bit when we got back and then I called it a night .....

I am SO ready for the weekend!!!!

Yippee!

E bought the tickets this morning ... 13 games, 4 tickets a piece.

Granted, some are in early April when it could actually SNOW .... but YEAH!!!!!!

Maybe THIS is the year??? HA!

Go Cubs Go ......

It is getting close to that time of year - baseball season .... We have an opportunity to buy a 13 game package for the Cubs ... We are just trying to figure out if it is worth it. I know I could probably sell a few, but it gets difficult for those early Spring, late Winter games.

But, the thought of a Cubs game, hot dog, beer and a tan ..... mmmmmmmmmmmm
