• J will be a better eater than A…hands down
• I get stressed a lot while I am trying to eat my dinner in peace and the boys demand my attention (meaning they whine and cry until I cave in)
• J loves apples as much as A does! Pictures to come…
• Burning your fingers with your dog’s leash hurts a lot! But wait for the blisters to break and the skin to start coming off, that hurts even more…
• I have this theory that my house has been tapped by the Little Kitty Committee in my neighborhood. Why? Well, every time I take Scratch on a walk we are followed by a cat…
• A has to have all lights on at all times. I have no idea where he got this…the less light i have on the better…I simply open blinds!
• Blogging has given me the opportunity of making beautiful friends: Terryl, Danielle, Liz. (I am still craving ‘doughnuts’; I hope I did not delete your email; got your letter, hope you got mine! -respectively)
• When I am tired I can think of a word but, for the life of me, can’t spell it correctly!
• My blog’s pagination seems to not be working for everybody. If you can’t go through my blog pages I am so sorry! I am waiting for my husband to have the time to fix it (he’s one busy web designer with lots of work, yei!)
• I have decided to start talking more of what goes on my mind and what troubles me (I won’t, on the other hand, write when angry). But I want you to know more about me. I don’t want to keep worrying about what other may think.
• This computer is a waste of my time! It is getting slower and slower and it is driving me crazy!
• The other day I made cake from scratch!! Even the frosting! It was a double layer vanilla cake with raspberry jam filling and chocolate hazelnut (and who know what else) buttercream frosting:

• I’ve had 2 migraines in ONE week! And each lasts for 2 days…so I had 3 days off! Yei….bffftt
• I still want to get a haircut but I have no idea what to do! I will have to write a post about this…get some ideas….show my crazy hair….which is out of control…and eh (Canadian accent, or Ty’s…who’s not Canadian but says ‘EH’ all the time!)…
• I want to get another tattoo…something that will represent A. & J. but I still can’t figure out what and where…
• Ty’s laptop died last Friday…like literary died in our kitchen…and he is now the owner of a Macbook Pro…(Ty not his old dead laptop…)
• Watch what you are doing!! And next time go for the chocolate chips instead of soaking your hand in your coffee! Which thankfully was lukewarm…!
• Charge your camera’s battery (also applicable to video cameras).
• Sticky notes are nos as sticky as they want us to believe…unless you really don’t want it to stick, then it will…
• J knows the word ‘this’!! A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! He will actually grab something, mumble, show me his toy and say ‘this’ while he is offering it to me!! Cuteness
• for some weird reason I’m breaking out on my shoulders. never before have I’d pimples on my shoulders! !@#$
• I always thought fall was supposed to be chillier than 80Degrees!! WTF! Though it is being said on the news that we are hitting the low 40s this week! YEI…SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!! Lets hope so…
• I dance like crazy when nobody’s watching!! I bet I look like I have ants in my pants or something like that ’cause sometimes I do feel ridiculous!
• J’s laugh is adorable!! There are only few things that crack him up…
  • A. being his silly self
  • Scratch running around like crazy
  • J trying to play fetch with Scratch…
• Still hating on this relic of a desktop…
• I think I know now what J will be when he grows up…a Drill Sergeant!

• Kids start from a young age blaming stuff on others! A made a mess and blamed it on J! and it begins…mom J did this…mom A did that…NO IT WASN’T MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Hehehe
• A. got in trouble and got so mad that he stormed into his room and shut the door behind him while yelling! So funny. I did not laugh , OK only on the inside! I thought this was more of a teenager maneuver!! And not that of a 2 year old!! Do I have a 2 year old going into 16?! OK, I think I felt some gray hairs growing on my head…
• I still don’t like to fold the laundry and put it away!! But after like 2 weeks I did it!! And now I have another load in the dryer…
• I always confuse the dryer and the dishwasher…good thing I do not have my washer/dryer in the kitchen like they do in Europe…that could be disastrous!! We would have to buy new dishes every week! That or buy paper plates!!
• I prefer gum that you can pop. This Eclipse gum is no fun!
• I must let Glamamom know when my Shatobu giveaway begins!! You can’t miss this one, OK!? (this one is more of a reminder for myself, but oh well!)

• Do not go on a walk around 7am! Apparently that’s when all the squirrels decide it is breakfast time! And I really need Scratch to do his business and not go hunting for squirrels!!
• Scratch could pee forever!
• Squirrels are always found in pairs…at least that’s what I’ve seen.
• Why is it that when I want to hear a song it never comes on! But when I do not want to hear it it plays over and over and over again!?
• There ain’t such a thing as baby proof…and I can prove it:

J decided he wanted to go downstairs with mommy…

…this was Ty’s view…

…this was mine!

• I need to get back to my impulsive photo taking! I am falling short on photos!! Will post-it all over the house as a reminder…MUST. TAKE. PHOTOS!
• Blue Jays watch way too much HGTV! There is no other explanation to blue jays stealing my boys’ chalk! Ty saw 2 blue jays taking off with pieces of A.’s chalk! Do they really need to redecorate their nests? Could be, maybe all that brown is depressing during winter…

• But blue jays are not the only chalk thieves around here…Scratch and J are as well!!



• I’ve never been to Chuck E Cheeses…or whatever it is called! But we are planning on having J’s first birthday party there!! Hope it goes well…
• We are going to Hawaii in March!! This is so exciting!! Oh the perks of turning 30 (not me, Ty…I am only a quarter of a century old!!)

• Seems that the world is being taken over by slugs! I guess that’s what I get for living in Portland…they are everywhere!!
• For some reason, today I was a meal behind…I called the boys for dinner instead of breakfast, breakfast instead of lunch…dinner time, I simply asked the boys to go sit down, I gave up!
• A. now says “Fine” just like mommy does! Hehehe, this is funny! At least he got a normal word from me and not the ‘dam-e’ (aka damn it) he got from daddy! Hehehehe
• He also says “Oh, man!”
• And when I take something from him he is not supposed to have he says: “Hey!” Hahaha, the things us parents teach our kids…oh man!
• GLEE IS TOMORROW!!!
• So many slugs are going to give me nightmares! I think I can take being in a room with a clown, which I also dislike with all my heart, than a bunch of slugs! That’s what I get for stepping on one barefoot…yucks!!
• I have so many things to do (regarding my blog) and so little time!! Specially when A pulls me asides so that I can watch him draw ’cause I am not allowed to touch his crayons, and if I do I’ll become his coloring book!
• I love catalogs! But I already knew that…but you didn’t, hah!
• Have I mentioned that Glee is tomorrow?!
• I have a pimple in my ear and it hurts…ouch!
• I want to visit NYC someday soon!
• I want it to snow in Portland again!!
