Changing my Underpants

That’s what I’m afraid they will say about my mind when I die.

I changed it like I do my drawers.

Oh well.

Laa De Daaa

It’s almost 11pm and I should be in bed right now but I am wide awake and thinking about the big great world I want to take over.

(Muuuhahaha)

I started tonight with giving my hubby a not so frequent but very meticulous pedicure.

Nothing says love like rubbing your mans feet.

I like to do it when he least expects it so he learns to never expect it.

(Guess my secret is out huh honey?)

I’m so full of beans tonight it’s not funny.

I’m thinking about travel and I’m thinking about staying home.

About babies and universal takeover.

I want to do it all.

Kind of like that Running Blog I started that well….. died.

I put so much thought into it! I’m not sure what happened!

The major problem I guess was that I had to stop running.

Everything has a season you know.

I put so much freakin work into that thing though, I’m going to revive it somehow (or try) whenever Ethan goes back to school.

For now, all is lost and hopeless.

I’m focusing my energies on other endeavors for the time being.

As for news in the Champion household….

We just returned from a lovely vacation in the Keys,

(Pictures to follow)

Also,

I have a very special wedding to attend this Sunday for a dear friend,

A Single Mom who is indeed a very strong lady.

My sweet and lovely friend Kari has found true love when she least expected it as many of us do.

I am so happy for her and her little boy and so thrilled we get to share in their special day.

I must say,

That for all the things that have happened to me in my life, I surely feel blessed beyond measure to be experiencing all the goodness of life now and watching my friends find happiness whether it’s in a soul mate, buying a house for the first time or landing that big corporate job you always dreamed of…

There is so much good that surrounds me, it’s no wonder I feel I can conquer the world!

For now,

I think I will conquer my pillow.

Goodnight.

Busy Summer…

It’s me.

Lil ole me.

I’m still here……

It’s been a busy summer.

My first summer as a “Full Time Mom” and let me tell you, there’s not a second to spare.

This has been the first evening in a long time when I’m not completely exhausted from the day.

And still, I have some much to catch up on; I can’t really spend much time writing at all.

I just wanted to say hello.

That I’m alive and well.

Things are great here.

We have been doing a little of this…



And a little of that…



Hank celebrated his first Father’s Day



Where we bestowed to him, “The Best Father’s Day Fezz……. EVER” and a coffee cup that Ethan painted his name on so Hank wouldn’t forget that Ethan gave it to him.



Haha.

We went to Birmingham again and saw the best Mary in the whole world.



Celebrated our Independence.



My brothers went to college (moved into dorms) all three at the same time.



In this passing, they gave Ethan the Flag that hung on their bedroom wall since the twins were 3 years old. They acquired it after making the trek from Florida to Virginia, just the twin toddlers and my Dad when HIS Dad died. It was a passing of the torch one could say.(Mike and Jason could not be present for torch passing)



I was so happy they gave it to E.

What else did we do?

Went to Underground Atlanta finally, which sounds entirely way more exciting than it actually is.



We give it…



Two thumbs down, with the major thrill playing a little game called, “Make it past the street vendors, homeless people and crack heads without getting mugged.”

I was just happy to get our paper Varsity hats and greasy French fries.



Something else happened….

Oh yeah,



I turned another year older.

So much!

And it’s only July….

It’s taken me about 3 hours to write this (with the usual interruptions) and now I am tired.

So it’s goodnight.

You will hear from me again when Ethan starts school…. End of August.
