*waves and peeks head out from around the corner*
Hi! I am still alive.
Quick update in bullet form:
*Cristian is now terribly 2, but still the light of my life. He loves Imagination Movers and Handy Manny, playing with cars and blocks, pretzels, string cheese and fruit snacks.
*Thinking of baby 2 starting next year.
*
fatman7600 and I will have been married for 4.5 years in August. It hasn't always been the easiest, but it's been worth it.
*No longer working at ACL. It was getting to be a chore and making me unhappy. Now I'm working at a law firm in downtown Milwaukee and I absolutely adore it. So happy I took a leap of faith and for once it worked out.
*Going to start running once I get fitted for better shoes. Going to do C25K and planning on running my first 5K in November for arthritis.
*Working on finding new friends and keeping up with the oldies but goodies. Finding time to make things work so I don't feel isolated and neglected.
*On that note, I have realized that my best friends are the ones that I can text both stupid and necessary things to. I have Milwaukee best friends (Claire,
jobiegirl6,
ericahart), New Jersey best friend (
shoebootie,
sweetlilangel86 and plenty of great friends in between in both states (Cassie, Fe, Katie, Renee, Cathy, Cira, Crystal, Harm, Sal, Mike, Gary -- just to name a few). I'm not going to keep holding my breath or worrying about who doesn't like me.
*My family, for the most part, is happy and healthy. That is what truly matters to me.
As you can tell, I don't update often. But please know that I do read and comment as much as I can -- LiveJournal will always have a special place in my heart because without it I wouldn't have my husband! Don't forget about me. I am on Facebook (manda.reilly) and Twitter (OneHotMomma) a lot, so please feel free to add me!
One last thing, I just joined
honor_cup and think it would be cool if a few of you did as well so we can do it together! :)
