It’s been awhile since I posted last. I
always have ideas floating around in my head, but it’s hard to
get to the computer. I was thinking about a late night post
last night, but Lex slept until 4am (7 hours!!) and I had to
wake up at 6am, so I fed him quickly and we both went back to
sleep. It was nice. Now I’m sitting at work listening to a
webcast about Developing an Organization-Wide Mentoring
Program. I’m monitoring the webcast for technical
support and all, but that gives me nice time to do other stuff
to. Like blogging…

Time
So no matter
how early I wake up, I never seem to be able to get to work any
earlier. I try to get there by 8am, but usually don’t make it
until 8:30. Of course, this morning my nursing session lasted a
bit longer than necessary because Harry was fighting dead
people in an effort to obtain a Horcrux and it was quite exciting.
And if this is all greek to you, read the book! So, I ended up
getting to work at 8:30am again. Oh well. The group I work with
here is a bunch of workaholics (better than alcoholics at
least!). Everyone is here before me (even when I get in at 8am)
and leave much later. As 5pm comes and goes, and 5:15, 5:30…
I say I’m leaving and they say “Oh, is it that time already?”
Like I’m a part-timer :/ My boss even schedules meetings at 5pm
and later. Busy, busy, workaholics :) I say I have a hungry boy
at home and I’m outta here. Luckily everyone is super nice and
no one cares that I leave “early” .

Toes
I
think babies use their feet a lot more than grownups do to
explore and feel things. Lex uses his feet as much as his hands
to touch and explore. His toes are always going and always
dirty :) He even claps them together. I guess as you get older
you realize that the feet aren’t as useful as the hands so you
stop using them as much. It’s always fun watching him explore
things with his feet.

T-s
Jime and Julie
came to visit last weekend. We had promised we go to their
house this time, but we backed out at the last minute. Next
month though… definitely! Anyway, Jim brought Lex two
t-shirts that he found on Tshirt
Hell. One says “I can kick your baby’s ass” and the
other says “Hung like a four year old” :) Apparently they were
the “cleanest” of the options on that site. I’ll have to snap a
few pics of Lex in his new duds.

Travel
Going to
visit the parents this weekend. Should be fun. Mom wants to
show off her grandbaby at Old Franklin Days :) I have actually
been talking with a classmate of mine from high school who will
also be there. Probably lots of other people I know too. I
always like the opportunity to show of the baby. Like mother
like daughter, I guess :)

Thinking back
Thanks to my friend Mike, I was thinking back to freshman
year the other day. This time 10 years ago (yes, 10 years!!!)
we were moving into dorm rooms and meeting all sorts of new
people. Mike is so good at bringing things together and put up
a new blog for a bit of reminiscing. he’s
also a great writer, so read up.

Ok, I
gotta get back to work now. Been nice rambling.
