OMG!!!!

YIKES...did I make a HUGE typo!!!

I could think of NO better/happier thing to have happened.

Please don't hate me.....and my lack of typing abilities. I am so so so excited to be an Auntie, ESPECIALLY to a little boy named Colin.

Alright, alright, I'll blog already!

Yes sir it's me! No, I am not trapped, heat-stroked, or in other such perils. I am however, very invested in my Druid on WoW. I had to get her to lvl 68 so she could get flight form. So that has taken up much of my time and really messed up my sleeping patterns.

YAY!!!!! :) :) :) A boy, a beautiful Irish little boy. I could think of a better name and a happier thing. You look beautiful, I enjoyed the picture on Alicia's blog. I use her name since she uses it in her blog, let me know if you don't want me to.

Virtual LenaBoBena and virtual Dom are fun.

Ok, my big news time. To Dom, it won't be big or news ;) So, I got a real job. A full-time, big-kid music teaching job. Better yet, it is in hubby's hometown!! So watch out in-laws, we're taking over the ranch. Leaving a few acres for Dom.

So I have been irrationally afraid of calling people. Sorry ladies. I love you and am very happy for you and have proclaimed that I no longer have an aversion to the phone. So, let's dial away.

Damn, LenaBoBena, you're kicking my butt on the diet thing. I need some motivation to get going again. HELP!!! I want to be successful and small like you :)

Keep posting and reading. Love you all...

Today I realized that I had forgotten the birthday of a very good friend. :( Not only that, it was a big birthday too. So, Happy Birthday friend, one month and five days late! I called her today when I remembered the bad thing I had done, she was very understanding :) There are more birthdays coming up this month so I need to be on my game a bit better, but hey, I did remember two July birthdays already.
I have been having fun following Domminir's links. I have many "disorders" and a few posts on the diet page. Keep 'em coming Dom.
I have been having dreams about the first day of school. I'd say about five of them now. Mostly, I screw up the day in some big way and then I wake up. Wow, it's going to be a long summer if I keep this up.
I hope everyone is having a good summer. What is everyone doing? I know one of you went to Colorado :) that's fun.
Oh, we are going to Chicago coming up at the end of the month for hubby's work. That will be fun and I get to see "Crazy Jen" Sorry Jen, hope you are not offended, my mom would say that when you left messages on the phone. "That crazy Jen called again." she would say with a smile. My mom and a smile is a good thing. Speaking of Jen, you need to post more!!
Well, off to lvl my shadow priest on WoW. Yep, I'm a geeky gamer.

Slow, but very scary realization

So tonight I finally realized something. After figuring out our monthly income and realizing we don't have any extra money, I wondered where it went. Well, into the belly. Sadly we spend twice as much on food (mostly going out to eat) as we do on our monthly house payment. DAMN!! Now, please keep in mind, our house is very small and, for lack of a nicer word, cheap, but still. Better late than never, I have decided this needs to stop. I am working on a menu plan and shopping list for the week and hope to cut down drastically on eating out.
PLEASE, let me know some ideas for what to cook. If you would be comfortable sharing, give me an idea of a reasonable, healthy amount of money to spent per week on food for two people. Remember, one (not me so much) has a HUGE sweet tooth.
