Happy May!!

I can't believe today is May 1st... where did the time go?

This time last year, we had just settled into our new (first!) home and I was giddy with excitement thinking "I'm getting married this month"... Now this year, I am filled with a different kind of excitement because I am less than 3 months from my due date.  Next weekend will be the last Mother's Day I celebrate without a little one (God willing).  The 28th will be our first wedding anniversary (and last anniversary we celebrate just the two of us).  Amazing how much can change in a year.

The weather here in Syracuse is still ridiculous... some days in the 30's, some in the 60's... it's about 50 right now and hazy/rainy/overcast.  Bleh.  That will have to change soon.

In other news, despite the wintry weather, I have begun my spring cleaning and I am desperate to have a garage sale.  Desperate.  We have been slowly accumulating tons and tons of crap that I just could not bear to part with "because we can sell it at our garage sale"... we finally had to move all of the crap from the nursery to a different room, which I so adoringly renamed the crap room... and the amount of crap has completely overtaken the entire room.  No joke.  I should take a picture.  Now the crap room is completely full to the brim of... crap... and we need to get this show on the road.  It's tough because this is not a venture I prefer to undertake alone... however... I discovered yesterday that Kevin and I will most likely have only one weekend off together before the baby arrives... yep... that's right... ONE (gotta love the hospital's rotating schedules).  And, as much as I am longing to have a garage sale... it's not really how I want to spend our last weekend alone.  So now I'm stuck.  Do I just suck it up and do this garage sale alone... or do I wait until after the baby arrives (when we will have no doubt accumulated even more crap and will be sleep deprived and caring for a newborn while holding a garage sale).... any words of wisdom are welcome.

Happy May to all!!!

...:::Waves Hello:::...

I can't believe it's been nearly 3 weeks since I last posted.  I am mortified!  I have absolutely no good excuse... school is over, life is calm... I don't even know what to say for myself!  :[

I guess I should fill the blog world in on all the happenings of my crazy little life.  First and foremost... I PASSED MY BOARDS!!!  Woot woot!  (does happy dance).  The test was so much harder than I had imagined and I was certain that I bombed it, so I was really shocked to log in to my account on Monday and see the best word ever... "Pass".  I should be starting my new job as an RN sometime in January.

Kevin, Lucy and I drove down to Pittsburgh last weekend to spend an early Christmas with his family.  It was a long, long drive (gets longer every time, I swear), btu we had a ton of fun!

That's really about it.  I have been feeling kind of... well... off lately (for lack of a better word), but am starting to snap out of it... I think.  I'll keep you all posted on that and I will try to be better about my posting.  Yikes!

Today...

I am bursting with excitement and trying to find a way to keep my trap shut.  It's hard.  I need distractions.

Normally, I would blog about it here, but I likely  have a handful of people reading this (ahem, spies from work... you know who you are...) that are not in the know... and won't be for a while.

Kevin is at work, I have the weekend off.  I SHOULD be studying, I WANT to be shopping (or relaxing on a tropical beach somewhere with an umbrella drink, but who doesn't want to be doing that?)... and I AM doing nothing.  Nothing productive at least.

It snowed yesterday for the first time this year, but didn't stick (thank goodness... I am not ready to shovel yet).  It has gotten considerably colder up here which makes me miss the south even more.  I am a tropical person, darnit.  What am I doing in upstate NY???

Well... I guess that's about enough whining out of me.  I think I might wake the Lucy monster up and take her for a run.

There was absolutely no point to this post... you may carry on.  :)
