A Blessing in Disguise

Today Eric and I took the day off. I had an appt. this morning and he decided to call in sick and we spent the day together. We had brunch at Steak n' Shake and then did a little shopping at ABC Warehouse. We got a new TV for our bedroom, then headed home. I took advantage of the wonderful warm weather and sat outside for about 3 hours. I watched Lila play in the yard and read a book. Eric took a nap on the couch and watched basketball. I loved spending time together, but the little bit of "me time" was great too. The day off was just what we both needed...a time to rest, relax, and do something we loved. I'm starting to come down with a cold, so the extra rest time was well spent! I even got a "March sunburn" while sitting outside! I can't wait for spring to be here!!!

Bad blogger :(

I'm such a bad blogger! I can't even seem to find time to post a few times a week, a few times a month...no, a few times a year! My last post was in October when my mom reminded me that I had not posted since June! And before that it was March. I guess I don't feel like my life is that interesting that I have things to post about. Other blogs that I follow post about their interesting jobs or their adorable children. While I do have a job that keeps me busy, I can hardly say it is super interesting. As it may be, Eric limits me to a few 'school' stories a day. Since we have no children, I can not rely on their cute and adorable things that they do day in and day out. I do have my dog that I can write about, but I don't want to be one of "those people" that treat their dogs like children. So here I am, back at the problem of not having anything to write about. I can at least post a few pictures of what has been going on in our lives!
