Dear universe...

I've considered on many occasions updating this blog. In fact I've thought out entire entries but have always felt overwhelmed by how much time has passed and the fact that I can't possibly remember everything that has happened that I need to update on this blog. So I'm not going to bother. I'll just start with where I am now:

-Just got a quasi-promotion which is great and yet, insanely stressful.

-My boss is in town for the past week and a half, also great and even more stressful.

-Sam is turning 2 next week and we are planning his birthday party. Unfortunately, it falls on the day of some sort of "important" Jets game, and now his party has somehow become Jets themed. Oh. Joy. Just what I've always hoped for.

-My in-laws were in town over the three day weekend. Fun, yet stressful.

-Tripp, the husband, is still working his full-time gig, and also going to school full-time. He is currently enrolled in his most challenging class to date. Not fun. Very, very stressful.

-Tripp is also working late all week.

-I have taken up running, and sick as it may seem, I actually enjoy it. When Tripp is home at a decent hour I run the Woody Allen inner-monologue out of my skull.

The tiny bits of fun are being worn very, very thin by all the stressful bits.

The good news: we're all healthy, we both have jobs, Sam is the awesomest, and for the most part, all of our friends and family are healthy and employed as well.

I miss cooking a lot lately. I also miss traveling. Tripp and I could really use a vacation of some sort, even if it's just for three days. I have to talk my miserly, overly-anxious self into parting with some of our money in order to fund a little time off. Hopefully, I will be able to figure out when Tripp next has off from school and whisk him away somewhere exotic - like Florida. It's a recession so we have to dream big in mini.

Unfortunately, no pictures to upload today - all of the recent ones are on the hubby's fancy pants new school laptop. I will return with those ASAP. If only for my own viewing pleasure.

Good to see that you're doing fine (eventhough "stress" is repeated a bunch of time).
For your vacation, if Paris is an option you can have a free place to stay.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view

Dear poorly educated marketers,

Just a note to say that no one is going to buy your shitty products or watch your crappy porn because you spam blogs. In fact, I'm pretty sure they can buy crappy stuff off QVC and Google "Porn" and find one or two things to look at.

As ever,
nicole

t Try to weigh yourself at the same time everyday, and remember to control other variables like whether or not you have shoes on, clothing, and what foods and liquids you recently consumed.

You can purchase a measuring tape designed for this purpose, or you can use a cloth measuring tape usually used for sewing and alterations. 7. Rainforests are the most densely biodiversity place on the earth. Over half the earth's species are living in the rainforests and who knows the number of yet undiscovered plants and animals that are living in there. The quadriceps are the large muscle groups in the front of the thigh. They are inserted into the knee, which receives an enormous amount of pressure in many sports and exercise activities. Too much bending and twisting, coupled with pounding, banging, hitting and pushing, puts the quads in a tenuous position.It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Priming and PaintingHang the bicycle frame in an open area, such as your garage, where you can easily reach all areas of the frame to paint. Use a rust-resistant, metal primer to prime the frame. Allow the primer to dry completely before painting the frame, but avoid leaving more than two days between priming and painting, as primer is not designed for extended external exposure.

Most cardboard boxes are a mixture of 50 percent new and 50 lumber. However, a recycling mill may consume more fossil fuels than a paper mill. Often we think of the rainforest as an abstract idea, far from where we are with little or no link to our daily lives. This is far from the truth, below you will see how deeply you are impacted on a daily basis by the rainforests around the world. You will see what they do for you and will realize why its so important that you return the favor and do some thing for them..Sadly I didn't have time to make any myself this Autumn, but will need to do so soon before my supply runs out - the only pickled onions available here are those small silverskin ones which are quite nice but nothing like the 'real' thing. I often wonder if I could saturate the market and make a bundle by introducing my ones.

When purchasing new binoculars, consider a number of factors, the most important of which is magnification. This is typically measured by two numbers, which will be described in the form A x B.

The cheapest one is in Imperial city, for 2000 gold, and the house storage upgrade is another 800 gold.
