So much to do....

...so little time.Although how it that different from anyone else's life really?

Mikey needs to be registered for school and after school care. My soon-to-be-sister-in-law's bachelorette party is the 23rd, the wedding is the 30th, Michael's birthday is the 29th....phew. I do have my dress for the wedding, but this weekend I will be on the shoe hunt. I am really looking forward to the party and the wedding. Should be a really good time as parties with my family usually are. I figure I should get some sort of fancy outfit for Matthew, but I had spending a ton on somthing the boy will wear once.

I guess that is all I have to say, which is -- nothing, really. I guess I was just bored, so go ahead and write in my blog that no one reads. Sweet.

Loving the Olympics

I love watching the Olympics. I didn't think I really would, but I keep getting sucked it. I watched the 4 x 100 Free Relay, which was SO awesome. Before the race, a guy on the French relay team said they were going to "smash" the Americans. Weeeelllllll.....the good 'ol USA decided that was going to happen. The USA brought home the gold (and SMASHED the old world record) and the French had to settle for the silver. If you're gonna talk smack, ya better bring it! One little factoid I found interesting.....Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories a day!

The women's gymnastics is pretty good as well. I've always liked watching gymnastics. I'm not really sure why. My favorite event is the parallel bars. Then the balance beam. I just love seeing them flip all around. Again, not sure why and really, in the scheme of things, who cares? (That's for you Lauren :-) )

Of course, the opening ceremony was totally awesome! I couldn't help thinking though, if someone screws up, are they going to kill them? I saw one guy get a bit out of the line and I started yelling at the TV..."Oh God! Get back in line!"

I'm sure by now everyone knows that John Edwards is another lying, cheating scumbag. I could really care less, other than feeling sorry for his wife. I do have two points however:
- Edwards has admitted to the affair now. Before, he said that father of that kid was another campaign guy. So, if this woman was with John Edwards and also with the other guy, how big of a slut is she? I mean, damn. The next questions of course is, does the other guy have hair as nice as Edwards?

- The thing I REALLY don't get is these guys who are currently, or know they will run for office....why they cannot keep it in their pants. I mean seriously. You know it will eventually come out. You know that will hurt your chances in winning whatever office. WHY do you then do it? It's like *duh* if you ask me.

Well, there are my thoughts for the day.......have a good one!

Looooong Time





Wow, it's been over a month already since I have written. What a lazy ass I am! Oh well.

Let's see since my last post Itasca Fest came and went, we had a "dress the baby" shower for my friend Lauren since she is having a girl and all the rest of her friends have boys, went on a nice weekend vacation to Michigan and the best of all -- Matthew has started laughing! He had laughed for my mom and one of her friends and when I would try to get him to laugh he would give me this look like, "well, I'm not gonna laugh for you because I know it drives you crazy." It's funny, I got many warnings about those boys names Michael. I think Matthew is going to be the handful. Anyway, on our trip to Michigan, my dad's cousin's dog (got that?) like, totally jumped on Matthew and me. No damage was caused, but after the dog got down, I fully expected Matthew to start to cry. Well, as kids tend to surprise, he apparently thought it was hilarious because I finally heard his laugh!

Things have been pretty crazy. My parent's house is in totaly disarray since they are having it painted before my brother's wedding. The poor woman, watching 3 kids and her house not in it's place, which if you know my mom, not having her house "just so" makes her nuts. It's almost done and it looks great so things will be back to normal soon.

Well, that's really about it....August should be a crazy but fun-filled month!
