Alright, for those of you who are wondering what happened to me in blog world, the reason I haven't posted anything here since December of last year is because I have a new blog address.

And you guys just thought I was a big blog slacker. Nonesense. I can waste time, brag about my kids, and post random stuff just as good as the next person. Well maybe not as good as some, but I am definatly not 4 months behind.

Just CLICK HERE to keep up on what's happening.

See you all on the cool side.

Merry Christmas!

And for being so good this year, your present is this wonderful link below...

OPEN ME!!

I know, I know....I didn't have to. Well, you can thank me later.

sometimes i wonder where he comes up with it all...

So, I was in my room the other morning cleaning my closet up a little when in walks Milo, carrying a toy fishing pole, very proud of himself.

Milo: Mommy look, the fishing pole was broken but I fixed it! You know how I could fix it?

Me: How Milo?

Milo: Because I'm a boy and boys can fix things.

Me: Oh really? Well what can girls do?

(after a short pause which seemed to either be a choose-your-words-wisely pause, or a i-can't-think-of-an-answer pause)

Milo: Girls can do dishes.

Yep. Milo. One of a kind that kid.

random and more random

i was asked to share 6 random things in a tag recently. my only problem? i am way more random than can be shared with only 6 little thoughts. so here are a few - but don't you worry, these aren't nearly all (or as strange as they get).

1: i am allergic to my own dog. Yes, you heard that right. Every time I pet, am touched by, or bathe my dog I break out in a hive-type rash. As long as I don't itch it at all it usually goes away in about a half hour or so. Its fun.

2: i choose crunchy peanut butter over smooth any day.

3: allowing kids to stir things like oatmeal or mac and cheese make me cringe. i don't like when the stuff on the side doesn't get fully stirred in with everything else.

4: i love fonts. i never like using normal ones. my blog is always the same only because it makes me crazy to think that i can't install and use one of my own choosing so i have to completely avoid the situation all together.

5: situps are one of my favorite things to do. pushups i never do.

6: i hope one day to own an old FJ Cruiser - but fix it up with a sweet lift and totally wicked wheels.

I would like to request Katie, Deeanna & Carine do this because I think you guys would have some good random things I'd like to find out.

I am thankful for...

I know I'm late - but I just don't care - because I wanted to share some things (among many things) that I feel thankful for.

I'm thankful for my helper.

And my comic relief.

Oh, and of course Thanksgiving dinner (ALL of it) because its pretty much one of my favorite things to eat.

and for my dad...

Viva la Vida!

So, how was your Saturday evening? Mine, well it was pretty good. I spent the evening rocking out & singing at the top of my lungs along with Coldplay! Ok, so it was a little better than pretty good. It was excellent, fabulous, awesome, best night in a long time...

And of course, because we all enjoy the visual, here's a few photos from the night...

I know this photo may not really capture it, but Katie was excited as well.

Opening song

For a moment the band disapeared - only to reappear climbing up the stairs to perform a song right in the middle of the audience!

One of the last songs played and they dropped all these paper butterflys onto the crowd - very cool.

So there you have it, I updated my blog - happy now (you know who you are, complainers)? And thanks Katie for inviting me to tag along with you to the concert (and share your chocolate cake)...don't forget to wear your T-shirt next time we hang out.
