It was a good birthday

Officially I am 28 now, though Tim insists that I'm actually only 2... as that's all the birthdays I've had since I moved here :o)

This post is a few days late, because we've been running around like maniacs doing things and generally being parents...

So Tim took me to Red Lobster where I spent waaay too much money, but had myself my first margarita in over a year (yay!), forgot what I lightweight I was, and proceeded to giggle my way through the rest of dinner and try to convince Tim into making a snow man with me in front of the Red Lobster...

Then we were supposed to go sledding at The Fridge with some friends, but due to -20 below wind chills they closed it for the night (like I'd have attempted it that cold, but I digress) so we went to Borders, bought LOTS of books (woohoo), then grabbed Katie and Matt to go bowling with us.

All in all it was a good birthday, I got all kinds of goodies- Borders gift card, the first 2 seasons of Weeds, awesome 1928 jewelry, and I still have a gift in reserve from Tim that I need to go pick out at the Mall once I'm feeling up to it. We were going to do it then, but we were just too tired and cold!

Kat hung out at Grandma and Grandpa's house for the evening and had lots of fun. She finally mastered purring (no I'm not kidding) and will look at you and make the little purr noise to tell you she wants you to purr at her, once you do you get a BIG smile out of her. She knows that, and how to ask for kisses... if you make the kiss noise she opens up her mouth real wide and leans in for her 'kiss'... but once in awhile she'll just make the kiss face and go in for one to let you know she wants one! This kid cracks me up! Going to have to get some video of that for Grandma in West Virginia!

So 27 was a good year, very full... I enjoyed it, and very much look forward to the year of 28... and all the cool stuff Kat will be doing, and everything else going on in our lives!

Baby, it's cold outside!

Welcome to the life of a Michigander...

We were going to run errands today (we meaning myself and the WeePiglet) but the wind chill is going to be around -20 today and this evening, so looks like we're staying snuggled up inside.

It's snowing a little outside, and luckily nothing we needed to pick up is urgent and we can put the errands off for a few extra days until it's a little better outside. No way am I taking the little one out in this weather!

Ask me in the summer if I regret moving to Michigan and you'll get a resounding no... however, anytime after the Christmas holiday up to Summer (we have no spring here lol) you might get a different answer. I only miss Virginia weather in the winter.... brrrr... you'd think after living here for over a year I'd have gotten used to the weather, but my blood must still be southern and thin because I'm FREEZING!!! lol

I feel like I should put on some Hawaiian music and make some Margaritas to dispel the chill outside. I'll get a tiny grass skirt for Piglet and we'll have ourselves a luau before daddy wakes up!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year all!

I spent my new year curled up with my WeeKat while Tim was at work... it was a good new year anyway!

2008... one heck of a year for me... but you all know that! I'd classify it as the best year of my life to date, that being said I am looking forward to 2009 and what it holds as well.

Many blessings and good wishes for you and your family through this new year!
