Ah...the Sweet Life.

I'm sitting here checking things online, watching "Live with Regis & Kelly", and sipping on my coffee. Is this really what being a stay-at-home mom is about? Hannah is taking her nap, and I must say--I can't believe I get to do this for my job! I mean, I know that there are more stressful days & that there are more to come, but right now, this moment--I love this! I hope it doesn't reflect badly on me that I love it while Hannah is sleeping...Just in case, I will say that when Hannah is awake, I love my job then, too! :)
We are really loving our new house, and it feels great to be in a place that we OWN. I find the smallest things enchanting--like taking GREAT pride in the old-school washer & dryer we adopted from my cousins. :) Oh well, to each his or her own...
What else--I am thoroughly excited for The Office to come back on with new episodes on April 3rd!! Since the main people who check this blog are Afton & Senia, I'm sure you also share in my excitement for that event.
**Side note: I feel like this post is incredibly unorganized, and I feel bad about that, but I'm told that that is okay--that blogs are for whatever you want to say!! So, fine!

Anyway, things are going well right now, and Hannah and I are going to have a fun week. I am busy almost every night with choir activities, so during the day I'm hoping to really enjoy my time with Hannah--maybe going to the mall just to walk around, which is something that my mom & I discovered Hannah really likes now!! She was looking at all the lights & she was "driving" the little car stroller like a pro. What's funny now that I'm home with Hannah is that I now really enjoy even the smallest of errands--later I need to go to Target & Whole Foods, and I am SO looking forward to it! Errands & outings aren't stressful anymore because I don't feel like I have to fit them in with my work schedule, Keith's work schedule, and Hannah's nap schedule. :)

Well, that's about it for me. Sorry this is so random. I'm typing things as I think them, which is highly unusual for me. :)

More later!

It was the perfect blog! Nice work!
And your morning made me smile. That's totally what I think of when I think of being a stay at home mom. I know I told you that I always had fun sipping my coffee and watching morning TV while nannying... it gave me a taste of that. :-) Keep bloggin! :-)

I'm so glad I checked your blog! I didn't know about The Office. yay!

Also, I so remember the days of sitting and watching Regis and... (it was Kathy Lee in my day). Good times and Target was my salvation. I think I went there 3 times a week just to stroll around.

So, with all your free time, I need to see if you need any book suggestions. Have you read the Twilight books? Heather!!! Twilight!!! They're good, they're filming the movie in Vancouver, Kalama and St. Helens...I have all 3 books, I can bring them on Easter, just say the word! The 4th will be out August 2.

Think about it...Twilight!

Okay, Heather... we've been deprived for a week now. Time to update the blog!

I'll give you some prompts:

*How to gain 5 pounds at an Easter Buffet (or maybe that's just me).
*Hannah's First Easter
*How it Feels to Have a Piano in my House
*What I Plan on Doing with my Sister This Summer
*My New Favorite Item...
*When Gene Met Mary (haha, I like this one!)

...and that's all I have. I'll keep checking back (exasperated sigh)
