Let's Review

I'm 23 today. Let's review what I've learned so far:

  • You cannot wear your blue-tooth in the shower.
  • You cannot will away cellulite.
  • Television used to be black and white--the world has always been in color.
  • You cannot burn 75,000 calories in one day.
  • Just because something is low fat doesn't mean you should eat twice as much of it.
  • People are not always (or usually) what they seem like on the outside.
  • Sushi is awesomely good.
  • Sushi is not healthy (not the kind I eat).
  • (Can you tell I'm hungry while I'm writing this?)
  • Television does not count as a hobby.
  • The Vietnamese ladies at the nail salon are probably talking about you while they do your nails.
  • Permanent marker is not permanent. Luckily.
  • Procrastination only makes things worse.
  • When you have kids you have to sweep the floor ten times a day.
  • Eight hours of sleep a night is not enough. Neither is four.
  • Belly button piercings may be cool but the scar is not cool.
  • There are only 24 hours in a day. Unfortunately you cannot change that.
  • You can't pray that your baby will go back to sleep every morning when he wakes up. Well you can but it won't work. At least not every day. :)
  • Guys don't multitask and you can't expect them to.
  • A smile goes a long way.
  • Negativity doesn't get anything done.
  • When you reach your goal you are not allowed to still be upset with yourself. You made it and you should be happy with yourself. You can improve more, that's fine but then when you meet that next goal, be happy and enjoy it.
  • Life goes by faster and faster as you get older. When people say time flies they are not kidding. One of these days we will blink and we'll be 72 years old.

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
