Beyonce, the giant metal chicken

If you don't think this is funny...

Then you haven't yet read this blog yet. Beyonce now has her own facebook page.

Pee and Pennies

James' facebook post today had me giggling. It was something that Evan said this morning, "I have to wash my hands. They smell like pee and pennies."

I love that kid. He makes me laugh.

Yesterday, I went out with a friend that I have known a long time but hadn't met in real life until last night. ;) She had just finished her bar exam. We had a drink and dinner at a really nice place with good food. Mmmm. Sliders. Delicious.

After I got home, I went to say good night to Evan. He was disassembling his Cars Legos. I guess to see how they go back together. They are meant for 7 year olds, so I put them together, but he is learning now how to take them apart and put them together.

Per usual, I am trying to lose some weight. I am not a fan of WW's PointsPlus. I used WW for years, and PointsPlus is really hard to get used to. So I have been using MyFitnessPal. One thing that MFP has over WW is an Android app (WW has one but it is huge...40 MB) that you can scan bar codes and add food items using just a bar code scanner. Love. I will weigh in tomorrow to see how it went this week. I really would like to lose some weight before I go to Hawaii! I have been working out 3 days a week for a while.

And speaking of Hawaii. Our kids are going to start to think that they don't allow children there. Because we are going kid free. The idea of that red eye flight home with them makes me twitchy. But my wonderful friend Lori is getting married on my birthday. I better be honored in some way ;)

It has been exactly one year since I had my breast reduction. You can barely see my scars. I love my smaller frame.

Life gets in the way

I can't even use the excuse that I am super busy anymore. Right now things at work are slow and I can't even get to my blog. We busted our butts for a few months, but things are slow for the next couple of weeks.

And then we are supposed to hear about the future of our workplace mid-September. A little unsettling. It is a bad time to work for The Man. Everyone here is concerned. A lot of gallows humor floating on the breeze. A lot of "If we are still here..." comments going around. Makes it really difficult to stay motivated. At the very least we will have 60 days notice before being turned out on our ears.

At any rate, life goes on. We are slowly starting a new project. I have another new hire to develop. I made a big mistake and totally stood him up for a meeting today. A meeting that I set up. Talk about making a good first impression. I apologized profusely and followed up with an email. My friends here think it is hilarious. And I have to admit once I got over being mortified, I laughed too.

The kids are doing great. Summer is such a nice time of year for kids. It is so nice for them to play outside. Evan and our neighbors' son love to play around together. Delilah follows behind doing exactly as they do. My boy is going to start Kindergarten in about 4 1/2 weeks. I am so not ready for that!

James and I also enjoy the summer. The summer means that no good tv is on, so we catch up on shows we don't watch during the year. For instance, we started watching Friday Night Lights. I believe there are 5 seasons and we have watched about half of the first season. That is really good. We finished up Six Feet Under. Brilliant. And less brilliant...we have been watching the Jersey Shore. It is fun though.

I will try to write more another day. Before more life gets in the way :)
