I am always trying new things with this blog and today marks the beginning of my newest endeavor. I am going to try and have a weekly post summing up our week and the random things that go on. In the chaos of the week I tend to forget alot of details of our daily lives. (I also partially blame my mother for this forgetfulness since she is the one who passed on to me the memory capabilities of a goldfish.) As a bonus this new undertaking should give me a push to take more pictures of the everyday. Wish me luck.
By the way, I had to come up with some cheesy title like "Random Roundup" because that is what all the big-time bloggers do. I can only aspire to be as great. Ha.
1. Started a new weekly blog post titled "Random Roundup". (I couldn't resist.)
2. Haley had her 1 year checkup on Monday. She has now officially given up formula and moved on to the much tastier whole milk. If I drank a gallon a week I would be a whale.
3. I have finally started working out after months and months and months of complaining about my baby fat. The progress has been depressingly slow. I have only lost a measely 5 pounds. The high point is that my sister and I ran a 5K and I actually didn't finish last! I see more of those in my future...it was alot of fun and quite rewarding. Maybe someday we will do a marathon...or just a half marathon. Ha.
4. I tried making a new meal for dinner Wednesday night, Salsa Chicken, and it turned out ridiculously gross. Frozen pizza to the rescue! Now that I think about it this might explain my lack of weight loss. Hahaha. Damn you tasty morsels!
5. Apparently it is not the best time to go shopping for a new pair of cowgirl boots during the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show! I couldn't find a single pair to fit my post-pregnancy size 10's. We went to the BBQ cookoff on Friday night and had a blast. It was ridiculously cold and windy out but we scored some free Mrs. Bairds which made it all worth it. Thanks to Kara and Kelly for including us in the fun this year.
6. Worked on some craft projects that I will hopefully share before the end of the week. None of them are my own creations...I can only take credit for the meticulous handy work of the final product.
That wasn't so bad now was it? Stay tuned for the adventures and misadventures from week #2 of our Random Roundup. Ha. And please hold your comments about there not being a single photo in this post...baby steps people!
We celebrated Haley's birthday this past weekend. It was a couple days early but she didn't seem to care. We had a bunch of family and friends over for burgers and cupcake. It was a great time even though she wanted nothing to do with the sweet cupcake?!?!?! Seconds after finishing our groups rendition of "Happy Birthday to You" she broke into tears. Even hiding cake inside other foods wouldn't do the trick. She was on to us. I am not sure who was more upset about her not wanting cake...me because of all the cupcakes I knew that I was now going to have to eat myself, her daddy because he LOVES cake, or her grandma and granny cause they now have to spoil her with veggies! Ha. I am going to keep trying and hope that she will eventually cave to me pushing sugar on her (writing that down make me sound like a horrible mother!!!).
