Finally Updating the Blob

I know. It’s been four whole days since my last post. I know. My sweet BFF e-mailed me to say, “Hey, DJ! You gonna update that blob thing soon?” And I laughed. Oh how I laughed. Blob. That about sums it up.

I wish I had something exciting to report, but I don’t. It’s been very cold in my part of the earth. Negative 8 degrees, and worse if you take windchill into account. It’s so cold that school was canceled last night for today. On my way home from errands last night, I stopped at the grocery store for milk and cereal. I wanted to get everything I needed so that I didn’t have to go out into the frozen tundra today. I knew everyone else had the same idea, because there were six cars running in the parking lot and very few spaces to park my car.

As luck would have it, both Doug and I are home today and we’ve sealed our cars in the garage, put blankets over the doors (because we want to keep as much heat as possible in the house) and are bundled up in our long underwear. No sense in running up the heating bill if we don’t have to. Dawson, on the other hand, refuses to wear clothes. He’s running around the house in his pull-up because he says he’s “too hot” and I’m getting cold just watching him. Nutty little boy.

I’ve got some posts planned for the rest of this week that will be scheduled. Doug and I are going to Milwaukee this weekend for a little winter getaway. I got tickets to see Frank Caliendo at The Riverside Theater in downtown Milwaukee. We are so excited because my tickets are in the first row. Doug told me the other day, “I hope he doesn’t make fun of the geeks in the front!” I couldn’t stop laughing. I’ll try to sneak the video camera in for some Frank footage.

So, that’s what’s up for now. More exciting posts to follow.

Oh! I almost forgot! I’m over at the Imperfect Parent today, talking about motherhood and work and this illusion that women can “have it all”. Head over there to check it out!
