A Poem by Kellan

Roses are sweet
so is my mom
I just want to kiss her
She is the bomb!

Yep, he made this one up all by himself....what a little charmer! It's a really good thing he's full of charm 'cause he would get in a lot more trouble if he wasn't! More on that later....

I'm not a loser anymore!!!!

So, have you ever noticed some people seem to win more than others? It's like they lead these crazy charmed lives....my twin sister is one of them and it's always kinda pissed me off a little bit. In one year, she won two ipods and a flat screen TV in drawings at work! Our employer (YES, we happen to work for the same company!) used to do weekly drawings for tickets to local sporting events. For quite a while I made it a game to enter every single ticket drawing....just to prove to myself that I'm one of the unlucky losers in this world. Well, I can't say I was surprised that it took me over a year to win anything....and I didn't really win 'cause there were more tickets than there were entries....figures.

You can imagine how surprised I was when, a few days ago, I got an email from Julie with Leelou Blogs advising me that I am the winner of her giveaway for a gift card to Harpari Swimwear! I was so excited that I called my sisters right away to tell them what an awesome winner I am....besides being such a winner, I am also a huge dork! Anyway, I've been visiting the Harpari website everyday trying to decide which swimsuit I should choose....tough decision 'cause they are all so cute! I'm leaning toward this one right now:


I have the fake tan, but I need the body to go with this....good thing I'm gonna start training to run Bloomsday next year!

I can guarantee that my sisters will read this post and think to themselves "That Christy is a real winner!"

Cinco de Mayo

It seemed like a good idea to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this year....so one of my favorite girls, Ristene, and I met up at The Brewhouse for a few celebratory beverages....

I know this isn't a great photo, but it was taken with my cell phone by a chick who had probably had a few too many. We had a lot of fun....so much fun that I think this should be a new tradition!

Goodbye Floor Hockey....

...Hello, Soccer! (Now, if we could just get some Spring sunshine....)

I got a new phone today....

...it's a droid. I have to admit I'm missing my Blackberry a little bit...but I'll adjust. Anyway, I'm downloading some music onto my phone, which made me think of the days of recording tapes. You know...those things that came before CDs? Well, anyway, I was just reminiscing about making tapes for friends...and boyfriends....tapes full of really cheesy songs. I just had a little chuckle with myself!

While trying to figure out how to use this thing, I've learned a few things about myself:

1. I'm a little bit dependent on my cell phone
2. I'm not very patient
3. I'm apparently very nostalgic
   

I learned the first thing when I realized my old phone was turned off but my new phone was not yet activated this morning. I had to drive all the way to work without talking to anybody...well, except myself. Then, when my phone was finally working, I couldn't figure out how to make a phone call ...yes, a simple phone call. I know...I'm lame. That's when I figured out that I'm really lacking in the patience department. As I mentioned above, the third issue came to me when I was downloading music. I would bet my kids could have informed me about my lack of patience long before today!

I have a feeling I'll be digging out my old cassette player and tapes after I put my kids to bed tonight. I just have no excuses for myself...

Babies...

Baby lambs, that is!

Spring

It's official....I have Spring/Summer fever! I'm ready for warm days, lounging in my bikini while my kids splash in the pool, exercising outside, a nice natural tan, green grass, a road trip or two, shorts and tank tops and flip flops, barbeques....the list is endless!

Well, until the weather really changes, I'll keep dreaming of this:
