Mini Vacation

We had a bit of a mini vacation, going to Nashville to meet up with Tim's sisters. Holly came back to Chattanooga for a day and we got to do tourist stuff. Went to Rock City, which I loved, and to the Battlefield. A great time was had by all, I think. Max was sad to see Holly go, as was I.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Now I have to stop eating like I am on vacation. Lovely.

5 more days of Spring Break.

Fail day!

Totally diet fail today. Ate JELLYBEANS for fuck's sake. I may pay hardily for it later. Last time I did this, I passed out in the shower the next morning. Still the year that I get it right. It is just one day it is just one day it is just one day. Tomorrow is another day, Scarlet. Off to plan my menu!

Knee deep in 2012

So 2012 is off to a good start...I guess. I have already had one major faux pas moment. I sent an e-mail to reply all instead of just reply. Yep. Not good, and the women about whom I was saying somewhat derogatory things was VERY confrontational and rightly so. If it had been me, I would have been mortified. The worst part of it is that she is my coordinator....kinda my boss. She got me back though. Says she told me about a meeting, when where etc. but did not. She sends e-mails out the ass about everything, so she casually mentioned a meeting...not where or when and never followed up. Of course I did not know, but the meeting was going on they were waiting on me...why didn't she call? Because she was getting me back. That is the way she plays. Nice, eh?

You gotta spend to save

I am going to try to coupon this year. It is becoming a necessity. We had to buy a car. We have not had a car payment in quite some time and boy is it going to hurt. So in order to maintain the lifestyle to which we have become accustom, I will now coupon.

I had my first coupon grocery shopping experience today. I must say I felt pretty good about it. I saved a little over $40. How you say? I checked all the Sunday coupons, made lists and stocked up on stuff that was on sale.

I want a deep freeze...

2011...The Fat Lady Sang

But that fat lady is not me.

2011:

Lots of trips to lots of different doctors.

The Boy reads and writes.

The Boy gets better in many ways.

I finally said enough is enough.

Kept my job.

Nobody died.

I raked the yard.

We bought a 'new' car.

Offended more people than usual.

Got de-friended by people I love.

Glad it is over.

Hello 2012!

I would like for this to be "The Year That Jen Gets It Right."

Max

will be three on Thursday. My sweet precious baby boy. If you don't know what is going on with him, e-mail I will let you know. I can't make myself type it for now.

I don't know why....

my son smells so good.

I love to sleep so much.

I have a hard time paying attention while driving.

I love Silly Putty.

I get so excited when people win on Jeopardy.

ma jolie as a nickname would not be capitalized and would be in italics in a poem.

the German language has so many 'words used for emphasis.'

there are stem vowel change verbs.

I can't stop singing "Murray had a little lamb."
