An Update Especially For Candace...

OK, OK, I know I am a total slacker -- there is absolutely no acceptable excuse for a 4-month blogging hiatus. Quite honestly, I have probably sat down a half-dozen times to start a new post, but since I got my new camera back in August, (and that within itself could be a post of its own...) the upload time for photos is outrageous! I swear it takes forever to load even one lousy photo -- I don't know if it's because of the high megapixels or what, but it's SO frustrating! And we have a new computer and a high-speed connection. What gives?!?

Anyways, enough of my soap box. Even though I haven't been posting, I have still been reading away, and thanks to that, I happened to see this "Eights Tag" thing that Candace did and so kindly left my name at the bottom for me to do and pass along. The second part might be a bit difficult to do, since she "tagged" the only other people whose blogs I read, but I'll give it a whirl.


8 Things That Happened Today

-I FINALLY went to the chiropractor. I feel like a new woman.
-I put on a pair of size 7 pants without torturing myself, laying on the bed to zip them up, etc, etc, etc, for the first time since high school.
-Kaiden and I watched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the 100-something-th time
- I did not go to work (Thank goodness. Notice the size of the moon in the sky. This does not do good things for labor and delivery units.)
-I spent over half of my day researching fantasy football waiver claims and this week's matchups. It is a MUST WIN week.
-The only real productive things I did while the kids were in school were unloading the dishwasher, folding one load of laundry, and balancing the checkbook.
- In addition to Power Rangers, Kaiden and I watched Dora twice, Go Diego Go twice, and Wow Wow Wubbzy twice.
-I mailed in my refill authorization for my migraine prevention medication. Trust me -- you'd need it too if you watched these shows on a daily basis.



8 Favorite Places to Eat

-P.F. Chang's China Bistro
-Olive Garden
-Thai Cuisine
-Pier 101
-there are a couple of things my mom and my nana make and Mike's mom and his grandma Lucy make that are just to die for. So I guess their kitchens make up the remaining 4 spots.
