14 Months

Music... cleanses my spirit and frees my soul.

Confession: I love hip hop. Not for the crappy repetitive lyrics, but for the beat. Part of me feels that I was supposed to be a black back up dancer. I envy the girls on "So you think you can dance" and I am in awe of their dance skills. There is something about the beat that gets even the cells in my body jumping. Tonight I danced... all around my house, turned the music up and did my thing. I danced around, laughed at myself and felt totally fine. I think I might do it every night. Some of my favs (not all are hip hop): Justin Timberlake (duh!), Missy Elliot, Eve, Britney Spears, Kevin Rudolf, Keyshia Cole, Rihanna, Ying Yang Twins... among many more. Anything that gets my head bobbing! Some of my favorite memories were making up dances in Linnea's family room to Britney Spears, driving around in Kylie's car blasting and dancing to Britney (see a pattern) or dancing with the girls at the club. We always had so much fun! But life changes, however my not so secret love of dancing and hip hop music will most likely stay the same!

Ew!!!

When I got home from work today I put a box of garbage on my patio so that after I had dinner and did the bedtime routine with Wyatt I could walk it to the dumpster. So I go outside on the patio, pick up the box and set it over on the steps, look up and BAM! Right there on the wall. Is this not the ugliest thing in America?

Seriously, these pictures don't even do the damn thing justice. Pardon me. But I am beyond freaked out at this point. I found some ant and cockroach RAID in my closet and I went to town!! He is now in a pool of Raid out on my patio. EW! I'm so creeped out. I keep shaking my hair and I'm all itchy now. I hate this feeling. Anyway... Jenn thinks that it could be a HOBO spider... so i did a little googling.

It's definitely a possible match! YIKES! Glad he's dead. Thanks for the encouragement Jenn and Linds. Not sure I could have killed him with out your text message support! BLAH!

One step at a time.

I feel like Wyatt's room is going to be a project for the rest of my life. It has been painted now for a few months and I've been searching for the right cowboy bedding. With absolutely no luck. I found the cutest sheets at Target that are for a full bed, and after much debating and searching, I decided to get them and make them work. I mean look how cute they are!

I have decided that I am going to go to the fabric store to find some cute red fabric to make a sort of slip cover for the bumper that I have already. So I'm pretty excited and am hoping it all turns out way cute.

Things that are new in Wyatt's world! He has started to sign "milk" and what I believe is "dirty". It's really fun to watch him grow and learn. These little ones are so smart and know exactly what's going on. It amazes me. He has learned that he gets in trouble when he climbs up on the coffee table, so it wasn't long before he made his way onto the couch. He loves to point at you when he talks to you, as if he's making some big important speech! He loves when you hide around a corner and yell "boo" at him and we can thank Jenn for that one. He thinks it's so funny and it's a game they play when she comes over to hang out. He also ADORES Shaun, Jenn's husband! They are the best of buddies. And Wyatt doesn't really just walk anywhere now... he runs! He's a speedy little thing and thankfully good on his feet, we haven't had any major accidents since he started walking at 9 1/2 months.

Not much is new in my world. My life is consumed of mostly Wyatt, work, a little bit of family and some friends when I get the time. But things are good. I've had one of those "self discovering" moments.. well months really, and it ain't pretty! Don't you hate that? Anyway, I'm excited to get things started and hopefully focus more on myself. Which from what people keep telling me, I completely deserve.

I hope all is well with everyone!
