Back to Life...

I have been totally empty on ideas for a new blog post, and even more empty on time!! I guess that is what happens when you are the mom of an active 8-month-old, wife to an awesome hubby, and full-time employee!

It has been extra hard to go back to work this week & I know that this week is going to last forever since I had gotten used to 4-day-weeks lately...

I still can't believe that it is 2010...that is sooo hard to write!


I am sitting on the couch next to Son and I asked him "what should we write about it on the blog today" and his idea was "how do you install surround sound speakers" - not really my favorite topic haha! He got surround sound speakers for Christmas and has been working on installing them tonight. He has it pretty much finished, but is just trying to get it to work with the DVD player now...



Anyways, since I am having major writer's block right now (and am just too tired to be creative) I am going to "borrow" a post that my friend Rachel did on her blog (http://www.thehotpinkpolka-dot.blogspot.com/) as a recap of the previous year...wow we did a lot!!
