Lisa and Michael

I got plenty of gifts this year like beautiful flowers, cute shoes, candles, Kohl’s cash, and sweet cards. The best gift of all is the time spent with these three! Michael and I miss having the girls around 24/7. Sounds crazy, but true. Even the iPad and Mercedes can’t make up for all the fun it is to be a mom!

What the hell are you looking at?! Let me in NOW!

If you don’t have one, GET ONE!! Michael surprised me with one this weekend and I can’t tear myself away from it. I think the iPad is the greatest creation ever! I do believe it will keep me well entertained while Michael is in grad school.

Very nice man, funny too. Puppy was having nothing of it, though. He was squirming to get down to keep walking around Old Town.

Re: the last post and the iMac… I knew Lisa would come around.

Yes, the Mac is back, all fixed up and happy again. Funny thing, I haven’t spent much time on it since it came back from the shop!

Too many other things going on, like preparing for Spring from a Winter that never arrived, entertaining Colin and Robin, visiting the zoo and aquarium and wolfing down some corned beef and cabbage, celebrating Shelby’s b-day, enjoying Oscar and freaking out over his seizure (he’s fine!), watching the economy tank further and then start a bit of a rebound, enjoying a new china cabinet courtesy Craigslist, preparing for a business trip to Orlando and watching Lisa get excited because she’s going to come along and hang out at the resort with me, and planning for Alaska in September. I’m sure I’ve missed a thing or two.

It was also our first year filing taxes as a married couple… and I love you Lisa more today than I did yesterday. You worry too much baby! All is well.

Lisa and her crazy idea of redecorating the whole house!  It started out with wanting to have a garage sale so we could park more than one car inside the garage and after posting a few things to Craigs List and making a few dollars to spend on some new furniture–it turned into redecorating the whole entire house in like two weeks!  Now Michael putting up with the constant moving and taking apart stuff and traveling to pick up stuff while he should be resting up for the upcoming cruise—now that is true love!  The house looks great and best yet–the garage is CLEAN!!

My Mac crashed the other night. Lisa is going to go with me to the Apple store tomorrow to get my Mac working again. She must really love me to hang out with geeks for an hour or so!
