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

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

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

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

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

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

Ok, I
\n gotta get back to work now. Been nice rambling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
