Catching up

It's been a long time. Sometimes I just decide I don't have enough time to update, and then by the time I get around to it, so much has happened that I don't know how to update without going through everything that has happened.

But really, a lot has happened and nothing has happened. Spencer is still cutting his third tooth. It's been a painful experience for all of us. I start my new job on Monday, which will be a welcome change from right now, as I've had a foot in each position for the past month and I've been working with a constant state of anxiety, afraid that I'm going to miss something on one desk or the other. I have a case of senioritis right now, and I'm staring at files that should be worked but I can't stand to open them. The important stuff gets done, but the follow up ... eh, the next person can do that. It will get her fully acclimated to my files. Hehe.

The past few weekends have been really nice. It's just chilly enough in the mornings that Christen has been making fires in the fireplace and we've hung out at home in the mornings, eating muffins and playing Fallout 3. It's picturesque, really. We went to Art Harvest with Dad and Zana two weekends ago, and I went to NKOTB with the girls that Sunday night ... awesome! Super cheesy and fun! I stayed out far too late and stopped drinking right when I felt like another sip would make me hurl. It was great! I was not the DD, thank god, and I had a great time. This past weekend we shopped for baby clothes (never enough!) and I went to the Junior League gift boutique sale and got some great jewelry cleaner (Shea and Suzanne also got the same stuff ... it rocked!) Anyhow, nice weekends with just enough stuff to do to not feel like I spent all weekend indoors, but not too much that I felt like I needed a vacation from my weekend. No matter what my Facebook status may have said :)

Last night I made Mexican Lasagna and it was delicious! The only change I made was that I used black beans instead of refried (yuck) and I used larger wheat flour tortillas so I only needed 4. Yummy! We ate tons last night, and then each brought some for lunch today at work, and there are two more portions in my fridge.

I can't believe it's almost Christmas! Two and a half weeks until Thanksgiving ... what's that all about? I want to decorate my house this year. I haven't decorated in years, and I never feel Christmasy. This year it's Spencer's first Christmas, and I'm super excited! I want those huge ornaments I can hang in my palm trees ... ha!
