…when you’ve got a ton of crap to do.

I cannot BELIEVE that Thanksgiving is this Thursday. It’s snuck up on me this year. Usually I’m pretty aware of when it is, it being my 5th favorite holiday and all. But life has been so hectic that I’ve hardly had time to watch my favorite TV shows or update my beloved blog to even think about what day it is.

So for those of you are still around (all 3 of you, I think) here’s what we’ve been up to:

• Dave’s working at a new job. He’s, like, a REAL doctor now. He’ll tell you that he’s been a real doctor for years now, but to me, once you start paying loans, then you’re a REAL doctor. Those loans aren’t cheap, either - it’s more than my car payments were!
• Ben has a really bad cold. Yesterday he had “Exorcist”-like vomit. It was gross. Poor thing was crying because he was getting dry heaves after there was nothing left to throw up. Now my couch smells like puke. I can smell it as I’m typing. It’s almost a barf-o-rama in there but I’m being strong.
• I got a promotion/raise. I wanted to make a post about it but in a way I’m working 2 jobs while I transition out of one job and move on to the next. Hence the absence of good posts in here.
• Ben is talking. But we have no idea what he’s saying. He has phrases that he uses over and over again when he’s trying to tell us things, but we can’t understand him. He has, however, mastered some words. Here’s some of his current words:
  • Papa
  • Mama
  • Banana (”nana”)
  • Tiger (”di-gurrrr”)
  • Keys (”keesh”)
  • Bye
  • Nose (”noesh”)
  • Elmo (”ehhh-o”)
  • and his two favorites: No and Cookies (”kah-keh”) It sounds like “Cracker”, but he doesn’t want crackers, he wants cookies
• We’ll probably be moving sometime next year. I’m indifferent towards it. I love the house we’re in right now, but it’s a crappy drive for Dave and since I work at home most of the time, it’s only fair to move closer to where Dave works. However, selling a house kinda sucks right now. We’ll see what happens in the spring!

So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to. I’ve got a lot of great things to blog about outside of these things, so hopefully during the break I’ll have time to store up some posts for the winter!
