thanks,
nicole... for my first time tag.
i'd love to play along, so here are 5 things about me.
one: i love to sleep. i can sleep just about anywhere, anytime. naps can be the most favorite time of day. i love to go to bed early. i love to try to sleep late. if i have one fear for having children, it is that i will lose my precious time to sleep, sleep, sleep.
two: i have a love/hate relationship with my car. her name is jeannie and i love my time to and from work when i get to sip my coffee and listen to npr or books on tape. simultaneously, i have been mad at her ever since i crashed her last year in the snow. she's just never been the same. never will be. i know its my fault, but i can't help but take it out on her. yes, i have an established relationship with a vehicle. i am sure that someday i will be very sad to see her go. she'll have to fall apart first.
three: i get sick easily and often. i am always around germs, germs, germs, and no matter how much i wash my hands, i am constantly cuddling with little germy creatures that need all the love that i can give. i just can't resist hugs and cuddles, even when their noses are drippy and especially when they are sicky-sick and their parents have sent them to school anyway. you would think sleep would help toughen up that immune system, but...
four: i am not a fan of modern medicine yet i have been prescribed five new medicines in the last five months. i have been given three prescriptions to handle only my adult acne. :-) i have also been prescribed one medicinal lotion to rid myself of a weird bumpy thing on the backs of my arms, and a new birth control that will hopefully alleviate the acne with out having to take months worth of antibiotics. this was all after an hour long conversation with my gynecologist who i was secretly hoping would become friends with todd and i. he's married and about our age and doesn't have kids yet. however, he had just looked at my privates and i wasn't sure it would be professional to ask him if he and his wife would be our friends.
five: today is my birthday. i am 29. that makes me think back and reflect on the fact that a. i have a terrible memory and b. what i do remember is either bizarre enough that i question its validity
or very mundane. my earliest memories include: singing "he's go the whole world in his hands" at preschool and getting a floppy record, eating liver off a blue plastic plate, and my kindergarten teacher terrifying us of balloons because of some poor, small child who choked and died. ah, those were the day.
I am not sure i'll get any response, but i am tagging
blondie and
todd.
so.
we went for another visit with our little man, now two weeks from coming home. easton was a cuddle ball until we set him down in the grass and then he put it in fifth gear and ran circles around us, chewed on our feet, jumped over us, and came back for some more.
does it get any cuter than a tiny dog in a huge tractor?
what a lovely, lovely week-end. it was full of fun and love and thoughts of spring. the weather has been spoiling us, and todd has been spoiling me.
well, today in the paper i found some pure goldens for a good price and close to home... so out we went to look for the newest cranwell. the puppies are only 5 weeks old right now so we are waiting three more weeks to bring him home, but we put our down payment on him today after falling deeply in love.
it was a late night for all. up past our bedtimes and ready to hit our pillows when the time came. we were happily tired after an evening of laughter and smiles.
