I want to throw out a quick Thank You for something I like to call "The Baby Crazy!!" Between my roommate from college being the first of my friends to give birth to a baby girl at the end of February to JP's cousins popping out kids right and left this last week, I've contracted a LARGE case of "The Baby Crazy." To those of you I speak to regularly, THANK YOU FOR DEALING WITH THIS...ESPECIALLY JP!! Also, a big thank you to all the new parents who've put up with my "Baby Crazy!" April brought a whole mess of negative happenings into my world and all the baby updates have really kept me positive and believing that the world is more awesome than crappy. In case you were wondering..
FACT: Even though I love kids, I'm SOOO not ready for one
FACT: I am NOT preggo nor do I have any plans to become so in the next half decade at LEAST
Now enjoy some pictures of cute babies for a minute!!
Leila!
Clara!
Brody!
MOVING ON!So I've noticed that living with a boy has had an odd effect on me in the sense that I seem to be able to accomplish large tasks but now completely fail at small ones. Case in point: I was walking into grad school today and realized wow...a year ago I never actually thought I would BE here let alone be completing my first semester here. However, the ONE PROBLEM HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT was put off until literally the very last minute today. Did I have time to do it? Of course...but Wii and Netflix, and Dean, and watching American Pickers with JP seemed so much more pressing at the time. I've managed to train myself to run 3 miles in the past month and a half, but walking to work (like maybe a 20 minute walk...maybe) TOTALLY ELUDES ME. I can't tell you how many times in the past month I've hopped on the bus and worried about all the passengers judging me when I hope off three stops later. WHAT IS THIS PHENOMENON??? I used to be a productive, driven person!! I have all these ideas...but no execution!! I have time...but no focus. As I'm writing this...I literally am losing focus because the guy in front of me has a VERY shiny watch on that keeps catching the light. Or maybe its because there's this man in the front of the room rambling on about multiple regression models (read: how to prove anything with statistics)...you know...BECAUSE I'M IN CLASS RIGHT NOW. That's right, I started writing this blog because I lost focus in class and now I'm losing focus on my distraction activity.
I am a mess...I promise after my vacation I will post more...I won't promise the posts will make much sense though.
Love,
Jill-ron
