Food....
I had a coupon for the new Angus 1/3lb'er from McD's. So, I went and got it. Not impressed. In fact, I really feel like I could be sick. Not only was it not tasty, it was extremely salty. My free drink and fries were good. I laughed at myself as I drove away, because when I saw the medium fries I got all excited! Lol! I NEVER get a medium fry. If I get them at all I always order the small off the dollar menu. Oh the things the excite me... It doesn't take much!

once again...
They have blocked facebook and myspace at work. So, I will probably get back to blogger more often. This isn't a bad thing I guess, but things get so slow here at work that it was nice to be able to see what the rest of the free world is up too.
Ryan stood on his own last night. I don't think he realized what he was doing, because as soon as he realized that he wasn't holding on to something he freaked out a little. :-) He had been standing up at his play table and I noticed that it was sliding on the hardwood floor. I went to move it, to aviod a headbang, and he continued standing. The look on his face was funny. It was like he couldn't figure out what was different. When he did figure it out, he made sure to grab my leg really fast. I'm giving him 3 weeks before he starts walking. (yes I know it is a random number)
Also, Leigh, what days will you be at the beach? I am off work the 10th-12th, so if you are here then, that would be cool! Let me know!

delcious
I found a new product that is wonderful! I can't wait to try the many different recipes they offer. So far I made Island Teriyaki Chicken in the crockpot. It was awesome. All I did was throw the chicken breast in the pot, added the island ter. sauce and a can of chunk pineapple. Let it cook on low for 5-6 hours, and whalah. Check out their site by clicking on my title. :-)

Ryan's first trip in the buggy....
He thought he was something else riding like a big boy! And, It was nice for me because I didn't have lug the carseat up and over the side of the buggy.

long over due!
Its official, almost all of our possessions are now in a 10x20 storage building. I am now basically living out of Rubbermaid containers. But, the good news is that it isn’t forever. One day in the not so distant future we will once again have dressers and a house of our own. Hopefully, we will have carpet too. Ryan doesn’t like the hardwood so much.
Ryan has his own room now, which I thought would be really hard for me, and is really adjusting well to it. (I am too) I think the hardest part is getting up in the middle of the night to feed him. I can never decide if I should just take him to bed to nurse, or just use the rocking chair. He has gotten so big that it is difficult to sit comfortably and nurse him in it. His newest quirk is that he will be asleep, limp asleep, and as soon as I put him down, he wakes up. He will sit up and raise his arms for me to hold him again. At first I thought I would just leave him and let him work it out. But, that just isn’t going to happen. Most babies will stop crying after a while. Not Ryan. He proved this on a 3hr drive a while back. He cried and screamed the whole time. (Can we say stubborn?) Oh well, I really don’t mind rocking him back to sleep. It is the only time that I really get to cuddle with him anymore. He is constantly on the move. Another milestone/s for him is that he is crawling, pulling himself up, and is also saying Mama! I couldn’t believe that he is actually saying it. But, he is! We also think that he is trying to say Hank.
Hank doesn’t seem to mind the new place. Although, I know he misses the king size bed. We are now using a queen and there just isn’t room on it for all of us. And, since Jake refuses to sleep on the couch, it’s the floor for Hank! Lol! I put an old quilt on the floor, but I really need to get him a doggy bed. I think he would like it a lot more.
All in all, all is well. It’s a little cramped, but like I said before, it isn’t forever. I know that the months will fly by and I will wonder where they have gone.
The good part about everything is that I am now much closer to work. I only have a 10min drive! Woohoo! This is going to help out a lot with gas. I will also be able to go home and eat lunch. This will be much more comfortable than the break room, or my car.
Well, that is all I have to update on at the moment. So, until next time….

LOST: Some Like It Hoth
Caution! There may be spoilers.
Some like it Hoth:
1.We find out that Miles’s father is indeed the Dharma scientist video guy. (I can never remember his name…) Along with this information we see, through a window, that his father was nurturing when he was an infant. This leads me to think that there is another reason that he made Miles and his mother leave the Island; if he did indeed have anything to do with them leaving.
A question we were discussing at work just now is: Does Miles’s father recognize him?
2.Daniel shows up on the sub, and he recognizes Miles. Shouldn’t Daniel be coming to the island for the first time? Or is he a time traveler? Hmmmm….. But, that also brings to question how long has he been time traveling?
3.Richard Alpert. What is up with him? I read a theory that suggested that he was a time traveler and since you don’t age while you are back in time, they suggested that he had gone back a LONG time and was working his way to the future. Another theory that was thrown my way is the possibility that he is actually Aaron grown up. This theory is still in the making, but I think it holds a lot of potential. There is something special about the “Shepherd” men. First Jack, then Christian, and then possibly Aaron.
There are so many different outlooks to the many questions that LOST brings to mind. All I really know, is that if this whole thing turns out to be like the movie “Identity” I am going to be really pissed.

I know that most of you have seen these on Facebook, but I have a few people that only read this blog, so here they are!
BTW, Mr. Lonley (well not anymore!), it was sooo good to hear from you! I'm glad you are doing well!

Behind, or Ahead, heck I really don't know anymore!
I am so behind on blogging it isn't even funny. So, I have decided that I am not going to try and catch up on everything that is going on in my life. It seems like all we do is go in circles! Everything is going good with us right now, there hasn't been any drama really. Ryan is growing every day, and just gets more cute every time I look at him! He is really developing a personality, and yes he is going to be like his dad. :-) Watch out world! He is also very much a boy. He loves the word "gross" and "disgusting." And (not to be gross) every time he passes gas he laughs. These days he is a mama's boy, and is very clingy. Hopefully, he won't be clingy like I was. (it was seriously crippling at times.)
As for Jake, he is working on shooting a short film the end of April. We are very excited about it. It will be the first film that he has directed and wrote.
What about me you ask? :-) I am hanging in there. Breastfeed and returning to work is proving to be a HUGE challenge for me. Which in return is really stressing me out. I am pumping 5 times a day on top of actual nursing. I think the stress is making it difficult to pump what I need to pump volume wise. So, I have talked to Jake and we are going to consider supplementing one bottle a day so I can feel a little less pressure at work. Lord knows I am stressed out enough there as it is. (We are short staffed and I am getting the short end of that stick.) At first I was really upset at the idea, but then I reminded myself that he is still getting my milk for 6 other feedings. And, I also am trying to remind myself that a lot of preemie babies never get to BF and I should be thankful that he gets any at all.
So, in a nut shell, I have been extremely worried and beating myself up, all while trying to convince myself that its ok. Does bi-polar sound familiar? :-)
If you have any advice I would really appreciate it!

Catching up...
I haven’t blogged in quite a while. I felt like I needed to get myself under control before trying to write anything. I feel like my job has been choking the life out of me. I really hate it. Banking just isn’t a great career right now. As if the world isn’t a hard enough place to survive in, try being in the financial industry. I think I could be a little more optimistic if I didn’t see the downfall every day. Its different when you are right in the middle. Granted, my bank isn’t going through what a lot are, but it is still hard to survive. People clump banks together in their minds. Anyway, enough with my woe is me paragraph!
How many of you are ready for spring??? I am ready for winter to be a distant memory. We have had a taste of warm weather this past week and I am ready for a real serving! I can’t wait to be able to take Ryan out for walks in the jogging stroller on the beach. I want to soak in as much of it as I can before we move. We are still not sure when we will be moving, which is very annoying. I am a planner.
Ryan is growing so much! I can’t believe that he will be 5 months soon! Where has the time gone? He weighs 14 lbs, as of last Saturday. We just had a round of pink eye, luckily I didn’t get it. Poor Jake had an ear infection, pink eye, and strep throat. He is finally getting better. I had gotten used to him not talking, so night before last when I was trying to go to sleep, I thought he had taken a shot of caffeine because he wouldn’t shut up! Lol! I’m so glad he is feeling better. I missed our conversation times.
Well, that is about it for blogging today. I really don’t have anything else to catch you up on, for now!
