Virtual Coffee.

So, if I was meeting you at Starbuck's or Caribou (I'd let you choose, because that's just the kind of friend I am! lol!) and if I was actually drinking coffee today-- but I'm not because I really need to lose this weight, so I gave up coffee for the week and so I  will only be drinking ice water from my customizable cold cup today-- I would talk to you about.......

How I can't believe how fast this little munchkin is growing up. It seems like just yesterday she was born yet on Saturday I sent in her registration form for preschool this fall. I know she could have gone this year, but I didn't think she was quite ready......or maybe it's more that I wasn't quite ready.....?!?! Well regardless of whoever wasn't quite ready, she'll be going to preschool this fall and I can hardly believe it.

Then I would tell you how I can't believe she'll be the LAST one we send to preschool. It's bittersweet, really. All three kids will have gone to the same preschool and with the same teachers-- how cool is that?! But she'll be the last one we send to preschool........ sigh......they grow up so fast.

I would ask you if you have seen this??? This has been the kids' favorite treat to have lately while we stream The Cosby Show on Netflix.

 

I would tell you I am still decorating for Valentine's Day. While we don't have much in the way of Valentine decorations, what few we do have we are really loving. Oh, where did I get the print, you ask? From here.  Scroll through, the download should be on the right hand side???

I would also make sure you knew about Addison's new found skill of cutting out construction paper hearts. I kid you not, but I think she made 100 of these the other day. Kept her busy for well over an hour! And we no longer need blinds on our front window!

I would also tell you that we are totally moving along on our Home Goals List for 2012 and that there has been lots of high-fiving going on around our house. And that with any luck, a few more things will be crossed off the list this coming weekend. Feels so good to be getting these monkey's off our back!

But that I am totally sucking wind on my mission to send out one card a week to friends and family--just because who doesn't love getting a little bit of happiness in the mail, right?! Except, that I missed two birthday's, and three weeks worth of cards. grrrr......it seemed like such an easy mission too. So, my project this week is to get caught up with those-- after I head to Hallmark for cards--

and after I get my school work done that is. Only 6 more weeks this quarter. Yee-haw! Graduation is in sight-- only 17 more weeks!!!!!

I'd also bellyache talk about how this losing weight thing is tough. Why is it so hard to lose weight when you're......well......somewhere between the age of 35 and 45??? Short of not eating anything but kleenex and toilet paper,  I don't know what else to do.......but I am determined to do it, so I'll figure something out!

And finally I would tell you I found this new recipe to try........this new bevvy to try.......and this other new recipe to try. And I wonder why I can't lose weight?! LOL!!!

Oh and this book to read........ they have one for sons too that I need to order......but haven't yet.

And then I would quick tell you how proud I am of Meghan for getting a part in her school's production of Annie and how I absolutely love it when she does these productions! They're always so much fun for all of us!

And then after my proud mom moment, I would tell you that I have to go. I need to get groceries at Target before I hit the Y for a workout. But hopefully we can do this again next week?!?
