I REALLY REALLY want Bitsy. Really. Is he not just ADORABLE??? Check him out, and other ADORABLE kitties, including one of my coworkers' kitties, Pippin (he is the Pippin in the pumpkin) at www.kittenwar.com
No, my blog does NOT suck....it is just woefully neglected.....

We are the proud soon-to-be-owners of a fancy schmancy Nordic Track elliptical machine. We are getting it from a guy who had an add on www.craigslist.com and are saving lots-o-money, so we are quite excited about it. We thought we would end up paying three times this much money for an elliptical machine, so this is awesome.
This purchase is in response to the massive amounts of accumulated jiggliness that both Ethan and I have acquired over the past few years. Not ok.
Our plan is to exercise and be buff and beautiful for our trip to Hawaii this spring. We are not sure if we are going in March or April or some time around then...we are going to use our time share for the first time, and you give them a couple resorts that you like, and a couple dates, and they tell you which are available. I found a very nice resort in Maui that we can use, so I think that will be our first choice. http://www.kbhmaui.com Pictures.....
Beautiful, no???

Other than that excitement, I am going to the CK scrapbook convention tomorrow. I am taking 5 classes and going to the vendor faire and buying one of each. Don't tell Ethan. Should be a lot of fun.
Then...on Sunday we have another Sonics game. Hard to be excited, since we KNOW they are gone, but we still love them so much, so we will go and scream and yell and have the best time we can. Plus, it is the Lakers, and they are SO easy to hate.
Monday night is MNF versus the Raiders, which should be fun, despite the fact that half of the team is out or injured or dealing with thyroid issues (how random is THAT??). The Raiders suck sufficiently that we should still win handily. This will be my first in person monday night football experience, which will be cool. I have only seen one Seahawks loss in person (sadly enough, it was a couple weeks ago, but the starters will be back SOON so we are still superbowl-bound).

Happy??

Yeah, yeah yeah....


Yes, Ethan is home. Yes, he is in one piece. Yes, he took lots of pictures. No, I am not posting any today. I haven't even SEEN all of them yet. I am still enjoying Ethan just being home. AND...we have been very busy trying to catch up on Battlestar Galactica before the next episode on Friday (we have 3 more episodes to watch), and LOST on Wednesday (2 more episodes left to watch), and we had football on Sunday, and we work all week. BUT...I will eventually show some of his pictures. No editing, just a crop or two, or a teeny edit to lighten up. I don't feel that comfortable messing with pictures I did not take.

Okay....at first I thought this was a little washed out, and I went to adjust the contrast, but the more I look at it, I think it looks like one of those old time pictures of babies back in the 40's and 50's, with little sailor suits on. I like it! And I am really liking the fuzzified pictures with the diffuse glow. My taste, I know.....but I am doing the picture posting, so pppbbbbtt!! Prepare for lots of warm fuzzies!!

What's Love got to do with it??

There was a subway crash in Rome today, killing 2 people and injuring as many as 110 (reports vary).

Ethan was supposed to be on that train, but he and Tobias overslept and missed it, so they ended up taking a bus instead.

Why did he oversleep??

He waited until midnight (3pm our time) to call me and wish me a happy birthday and tell me that he loves me. And he didn't get on the train.

He loves me

So Ethan is in Amsterdam, and he can't get his email to work, and the phone card won't work either. But he is having a good time and he loves me.

How do I know this if he can't call or email me?? He proposed a trade to me in one of our fantasy football leagues. I automatically get emailed when someone proposes a trade, and there is a comment section where you can try to talk someone into trading players with you. He wrote his situation down in the comment section. How very Amersony. Fantasy football--connecting people across the world!
