I Suck

Yes, I do.  Because a month and a half?  Is an obscenely long time to not post. 

Moving on.  To other things.  Not gonna dwell.  Nope. 

• We're gearing up for the in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary weekend.  They are currently on a cruise to Bermuda.  The 3 kids went in on a cruise as their main gift.  They've never been on one before.  The big dinner is Saturday night.  (Which is the actual date of the anniversary.)  The weekend continues with a big cook-out on Sunday.  We have anniversary spill-over, Father's Day and 2 family birthdays to celebrate for the Sunday cook-out.  
• I have gained weight.  In spite of cutting way back on the intake and stepping up the activity level.  Of course the fact that I went off the pill a few months back may or may not have something to do with it.  No, we're not trying for another child.  I'm just giving my body a much needed break from hormonal birth control.  Other than the 16 months I was off the pill when I had Carter, I've been on the pill since I was 21.  Ick.  Although most people say they gained weight because of the pill, some websites say that it takes a while for your system to adjust.  I am chalking it up to that and hoping for the best.  (But so far, I feel great.  So I think the husband may have to get his man-bits altered.)
• I spend most of my spare time in the greenhouse these days.  Lots to do.  I have a new fan due to arrive tomorrow.  I'm so excited.  It's will greatly decrease the heat build up.  Last year was a battle and even with the doors open, two shade cloths and two fans going full tilt, we hit triple digits by 11 a.m. on most days last summer. 
• I spend a portion of my spare time on Facebook.  I know, I know - I'm cheating.  But really, it's just a quick one-line post here and there.  And I have re-connected with a lot of old friends.  
• Up until yesterday, I have been spending a LOT of time reading.  I read all nine books of the Sookie Stackhouse Vampire series by Charlaine Harris.  It rocked.  I have no clue what I will do now.  I was sucked (HA!) in WAY more that with Twilight.  It was such a good series that it does deserve an entire post.  I'll get to it someday.  (HA!)  The season premier of season 2 of Trueblood started last night.  It rocked.
• My baby will be nine years old in 12 days.  I can't stand it!!

That is all for now internets.  G'nite!
