Too bad I wasn’t able to post…

January 6, 2009 By 3 Comments

So, I really wanted to make of couple of posts, but I went out of town and wasn’t able to. Now it’s too late to talk about Christmas and the fact that D3 got an MP3 player with a clock radio from Santa and loved all his new songs so much that he slept with it.

And it’s much too late to bring up the fact the B ran into the living room on Christmas morning, jumped on his tricycle and refused to open any presents.

I wouldn’t want to bore anyone with Christmas in January.

I also let the new year pass me by as I was out of town. I really wanted to do one of those look back on 2008 posts, where I would talk about the fact that last February B and I got the flu (and he got pink eye, an ear infection, and strep throat), he was so miserable!

I would have also mentioned the fact that B started walking last year.

I probably would also have talked about the fact that D3 graduated preschool.

And then we went on summer vacation to Disney World and had possibly the best vacation ever.

I know I would have mentioned the big occasion of my first born going to Kindergarten. I’m still not sure how he is old enough for that!

I might have mentioned that B finally gave up his pacis this year also.

I would have ended that post saying something along the lines of how 2008 has been a big year at our house, as most are with little ones. And that time tends to fly too quickly when you have kids at home.

Too bad I was out of town and couldn’t share those posts.

A month of blogging…

September 10, 2008 By 3 Comments

Well, it’s been one month since my fabulous husband gave me this blog for my birthday.

Here are five things I’ve learned in my five week blogging adventure.

  1. I love a comment. I had heard that comments were bloggy crack.  I don’t know if they are that addictive, but comments are great.  I try to comment a lot more on the blogs that I read too. It’s nice to know someone’s reading what you wrote.
    I tend to click, click, click and then not even know how I ended up on someone’s blog. Do you do this? I don’t know if I should preface my comment with how I found the blog or just leave a comment? Usually I just comment away. They probably wonder who in the heck I am. J
  2. Google Analytics is really cool.  It tells you all sorts of things about your blog.  Like the fact that a bunch of people apparently search the words “Our week in three words.”
  3. I love Google Reader.  I guess I’m into google all of a sudden?  I dunno. But it makes keeping up with the blogs that you follow so much easier. Bloglines is good too, but I like Google Reader better.
  4. I sometimes have a hard time coming up with a good title. Big Mama is the queen of awesome titles- if there were such a queen. Her titles are so creative.
  5. I have found yet another way to avoid housework.

Six Random Things…

August 27, 2008 By 1 Comment

I was tagged by Caroline.

She has such a sweet blog. I’m supposed to list six things about myself. So, here comes the randomness….

  1. I LOVE to go on vacation. I’m constantly wanting to plan a trip somewhere. We went to Disney this summer, which is one of our favorite places on earth. And I’m dying to go somewhere again already. Dan and I are in the middle of planning our anniversary get away and our cruise next summer to celebrate his graduation!!
  2. I hate sitting in traffic. Oh my goodness, my good side does not come out in sit-still traffic. Once Dan clicked through his cell phone to the games screen and handed it over to me in traffic. I didn’t even recognize I was being pacified like a kid for a minute.
  3. I detest the lunchable. I seriously went off on a 30 minute tangent the other night about my disdain for the lunchable. Now, deep theological matters I’m still trying to work out within myself, but the lunchable… I know I can’t stand.
  4. I love school supplies, paper, organizers… anything like that. If I would let myself, I could just go nuts in paper stores, party stores, The Container store. I don’t know why, but I just LOVE it. You’d think I’d be more organized.
  5. I am such a visual learner that it’s ridiculous. If there’s not a picture involved, I have a hard time staying interested. J Hence my pictures with each of my random things.
  6. I say “seriously” entirely too much. The other night the kids and I were waiting on my husband to join us at the dinner table for prayer. We looked over to see Dan making a pitcher of sweet tea and my five-year-old says (in his best Chandler Bing voice, even though he has no idea who that is) “Seriously. You HAVE to do that right now?” I thought I would die, hearing my voice coming out of my child’s mouth.

I have such a wonderful husband. Dan really spoiled me on my birthday this year. I got several nice presents, including this blog. {Granted I ruined the surprise by figuring it out several days early, but it was still an awesome birthday surprise} He surprised me by making me this website~ naming it and everything. I think he did a great job. Simply Cindy is a great name choice, because I tend to like things simple. I don’t always get simple with two little boys, but I sure like to try and simplify our lives!

Thanks so much Dan for being a great husband and father and for taking time out of your busy schedule to make something so thoughtful for me!! I love you!!
