catching up...

Ever feel that just turning on the computer and hitting that Firefox icon is like admitting you have homework? There's a blog to post, Facebook to catch up with, three email accounts to sort through... it's no wonder I've been avoiding it all.

And that's my excuse. That's why I haven't existed since my last post on Tuesday. I've been ignoring my homework.

So first, to catch up, here's a list of what I've been thinking about instead of blogging:

• It's unfortunate that Mexican food makes me want to hurl these days because I live 3 miles from Mexico.
• I have mixed feelings about the Bella Band. A full review to follow.
• Homemade egg Mcmuffins might just be my favorite prego treat.
  
• And LifeSaver Gummies. They cost exactly $.80 at the mart down the street.
  
• My stomach hurts in the morning because I always wake up hungry. No matter what I stuff it with the night before.
• I have one of those uniquely wonderful husbands that likes to read my blog. But he recently told me that when I post about "girl clothes", he doesn't read the comments. Well.
  
• My husband wants a motorcycle and our tax return might must make that happen.
• I'm one of those crazy people that actually likes doing our taxes the old fashioned way. With pencil and the post-office's 1040 form. So I always do them myself first so I can dream up ways to spend the money. Then I go to the professionals to make sure I didn't mess up.
• I don't, however, even attempt state taxes alone. When you're military, move twice in one year, have a job in KY, live in TN, but hold residence in VA, it's a maze of impossibleness.
• Jim and I didn't do anything exciting for Valentine's day, which was just fine with me.
  
• I've recently re-taken up the guitar. Unfortunately I sold mine at a garage sale last year. But Jim says if I sell the piano, he'll be more that happy to hear me play a new guitar all day. As long as I learn more songs. He's getting tired of the 3 I know.
• We would have been one of the two million households that would have lost TV reception if analog signal died tonight. It kinda makes me laugh that we're that ghetto.
  
• Besides that crazy snow day we had last week, I'm really starting to believe that it is sunny 360 days out of the year here in the far-west corner of TX.
• I finished Sense and Sensibility this weekend and have since started Emma.
• This is officially my 100th post.

Things you can expect this week as I plan to post EVERY DAY: (Don't fall over. It's a short week, with Presidents' Day and all.)

• The promised Bella Band review. To include a much anticipated belly picture. Don't get too excited.
  
• Pictures of our new house. (Yup! For reals. I got the call last Tuesday. We move in 2 weeks.)
• A story about my husband making me throw up.

So there you have it. Thanks for still checking back here since I don't blog nearly enough as I'm supposed to. Darn homework.
