12 More Hours

In 12 hours, I'll be on a plane, Miami-bound. I'm SO excited! Today I was browsing around looking to see what kind of things there are to do/eat there, and it looks so fun! I'm bringing my cameras, so I'll have plenty of pictures from the trip.

I started packing early today, then Brian went in and put his stuff in the suitcase. I went in a little later to put a couple more things in there and about had a fit. I'd filled up about 1/4 of the suitcase with my earlier packing. Now, it was completely full, and I wasn't done!! Luckily, we realized that we weren't using our biggest suitcase, so there should be plenty of space for us to both get all our stuff in there once we get it in the big one.

It's been really quiet around here today with no Peyton. Every time I'd pull up the driveway, I'd look through the window to see if he was barking at me, and he wasn't there. :( He's probably having a great time with my parents though. :)

And because every post needs a picture:


I don't know who they are, or where they're going, but those dogs are on a mission.

OMG, two posts within 3 days?!

I have a good excuse for why I failed to blog yesterday, despite the previous day's announcement that I'd try to blog daily, even if it was just something short and stupid. It was my friend Tim's birthday, and immediately after work, my friends and I went out to celebrate. I didn't get home until nearly 11:30, which meant that my snooze button got hit for an hour this morning. Unfortunately, Peyton doesn't have a snooze button, so I did have to get up right away and let him out to pee, but I went straight back into bed for the remaining 58 minutes. Luckily, today was my last day of work for 9 days!! I am on vacation until the 25th! Woo! Early Monday morning, Brian and I will be flying to Miami for 4 nights of warm weather bliss. This is the first vacation we've taken together since we got married a couple years ago, and I think it will be good for us to spend the time together and rejuvenate. I will be missing Peyton while we're gone, but it will be nice to not have that responsibility either. :)

Other than that, I don't have anything new, so I'll leave you with a random picture of the day:
Yes, that's plastic dinosaur porn.

A little personal randomness

So, I've been pretty bad at updating this blog. I'm trying to decide if it has anything to do with the transition from Xanga, or if I'm just not feeling the blogging. I've had plenty of exciting things happening, but to be honest, I just haven't felt the pull to blog about it. We got snowed in for Christmas this year, so it marked the first year that we haven't been with our families for Christmas, but I didn't blog about that. We managed to get down to see everyone and have our Christmas a week later, but I didn't blog about that. I took a major faceplant in my parents' garage while we were there and got 8 stitches, but I didn't blog about that. I had a really successful toy department reset at work the other night, but I didn't blog about that. We're taking our first vacation since our honeymoon next week, we're going to Miami, but I haven't blogged about that. I'm thinking maybe I should try to make it a daily thing to blog, even if it's just a short blurb about how much my day sucked. It would probably help my readership as well, if I'd actually post from time to time. I think I might try that (although I might be more forgiving about the days I work until 8 pm. Might skip those days because I don't get much time on the computer).

Here's a little something that didn't get blogged about:
