M.I.A.

So I realize I haven't blogged in well over a year & I'm sorry for those of you who attempted to keep me going so you could get updates on everything that's going on. I'm guilty of not really having a life, I go to work & come home, that's pretty much it. I have some updates for those of you who might still check my blog. Emily is now 1 year old (I can't believe it's been over a year already!), well, 1 year & almost 2 months now. She's walking all over the place now & it's the funniest thing to watch because she holds her arms out at her sides to keep her balance & when she catches you watching her she'll give you this huge cake-eating grin (the cutest thing ever) & then lose her balance & fall on her butt anyway. Desiree will be 5 in a couple of weeks & starting school this year!! Man, where has the time gone?? Around the end of October we adopted a stray cat; or should I say she adopted us. She's the sweetest thing & puts up with so much, considering I have two kids & one of them doesn't know how to pet a cat yet so she pretty much slaps her, poor thing. I've been reading a lot more, thanks to my sister, the librarian. She's gotten me into a lot of good books & excellent authors, thank you Hila. So I've been doing a lot of reading for the past year. I've read a wide range of books, from the Twilight Saga to medical thrillers. So, if you ever need a recommendation for books let me know (or Hila would be even better). Last Wednesday Desiree & I had a girl's night. We watched The Little Mermaid, ate popcorn, & painted our nails. Well, I painted hers & mine. She's such a girly girl & getting so big, I miss when she was littler! She was thrilled about that night, apparantly she was talking about it to Nick all that day while I was at work & now she's making plans for another girl's night with me. On Friday I'm going to hang out with my friend Nicole. She's so much fun, when we're together we just laugh. Although our stories & stuff we talk about isn't nearly as great as Hila's, I always laugh at her posts, especially all her stories with Julie & back in the day in Alabama. Well, I hope I got you guys a little updated & I'll post again on Friday with the events of that day out with Nicole.
