10 on Wednesday

I have been taking a little blog break.  Since it is the end of the month, I figured I would do a little 10 on Tuesday..on Wednesday.

1. My cousin Eric got married this last weekend.  He and his (now) wife, Laura Leigh, are honeymooning in Jamaica as we speak...lucky people!
2. Kevin and I have been married 5 years, as of Friday.  He got me a 12(ish) Carat blue topaz ring that is surrounded by diamonds.  It is beautiful!  I got him a painting of him and Holy (his grandfather) fishing.  He was surprised, but pleased (I think) ( I will try to get a good pic of it)
3. I am also getting a new wedding band.  We picked it out on Friday and I am just waiting for it to be done.  The diamonds used in it are the ones out of my Mom's ring that my Dad gave her for their 10th anniversary.  Pretty special.
4. We have hit a sleeping stumbling block in the last week.  Rory is really trying to throw us off...Mommy is winning, hopefully!
5. It has been rainy and yucky for the past 4-5 days.  Where is all that beautiful spring weather?
6. I have been compiling my list of honey-dos for the Spring...watch out Kev!
7. I saw a little girl with the cutest pair of shoes on the other day.  I have been trying to find them on the internet and can't.  I wanted to ask her Mother where she got them, and the brand, but she was talking on the phone at the time.  GRRR!
8. We really need to do a cleaning out of the toys for Rory.  She has WAAAY too many!
9. R's latest obsession...Tinkerbell...great!
10. I can't think of 10.

I will try to be better about blogging in April!

Ten on Tuesday--Wednesday

1. Our office was closed because of ice on Monday.  Kevin left for work at 1:30 on Sunday and didn't get home until 12:00 noon on Monday.  He was stuck at the precinct because the next shift couldn't get in. We had about 2 inches of solid ice down here. 
2. I REALLY wish that we could have gotten some of the snow that all my home-towners got!
3. I am thinking about getting off of facebook.  I might suspend my membership for a while and see how it goes.
4. Rory had her 2 year check up on Friday.  Dr. Malone gave her an antibiotic for the remaining congestion in her chest that we have been fighting for 3 weeks.  Unfortunately Augmentin is making my happy girl, really grumpy and she is not resting very well.
5. We are starting to lay the groundwork for the potty training with Miss Bee.
6. I am ready to be home with my girlie.
7. We went back to Gymboree on Saturday after not going for almost a month and Rory was SO excited to see everyone and get to play!
8. My lower back is killing me.  SWEET!
9. I want to take Rory to Disney World.  I know that she is too little right now, but I still really want to take her.  Is that bad?
10. Kevin's bday is coming up...I have an idea of what to get him, but he won't tell me anything that he really wants.

4 days - 10 on Wednesday

1. In 4 days, I will have a 2 year old.  Whew...wow!
2. I am reading George Bush's Decision Points.  So far, it is very interesting and I really like it.  It is really interesting insight into the mind of the President.  The thing I like the best, is that it really shows his spiritual heart and how he really tried to stay true to what he knew was right.
3. Christmas plans are shaping up.  My Dad's family is coming down the Sunday after Christmas to spend the day with us and we are going to exchange gifts with them and have the 'ole traditional pasta Sunday dinner.  I am really excited.  It is going to be fun for them to get to experience Rory in her element, comfortable, at home.
4. Rory's party is shaping up for Saturday.  I have NO idea how many people are coming, so if you are reading this, and are planning to be there, please let me know!
5. Rory is going to have some special visitors for Gymboree on Saturday.  Tim is taking her and Sarah Grace and Victoria are going to do Gymboree with her.  The goal is to WEAR HER OUT, so that she will sleep and then be in a good mood for her party.
6. I have been contemplating getting my PhD...don't know what in, or when I will have the time to do it, but have been thinking about it non the less.
7. Frustrated on the career front, maybe that explains #6.
8. I sure do miss my Allison.  After seeing her and DJ for the wedding, it drove it home even more.  Check out her photographer's blog for a sneak peak at the wedding pics.  Their engagement photos are also on the blog too, a post or 2 previous.
9. We have been serenaded with "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Fun to Ride, HEY!" over and over and over again this week.  It is pretty cute though.
10. Every night, right before I take Rory to put her in the bed, I ask her if she wants to say her prayers.  She will put her little hands together and I usually say them and then she chimes in with an Amen at the end.  Last night, I decided that I would ask her to say them, not knowing if she would actually do it.  Sometimes, I wonder if she is really retaining any of this stuff that I am throwing at her.  They sounded like this: "Now I lay me, down-a sleep, pway the Loahd, soul a keep, angels gar me, bwess Mommy, Daddy, Rory, AAAAmen."  Not bad, pretty close to the real thing.  I guess that constant reciting them, every night, has sunk in.  (PS: On a side note, it was so cute, I wanted to squeeze her until her eye balls popped out...just for the record)
