At times like this I am ready to run. I imagine taking off with just my clothes, photos, and music. I book a flight for Eric, Alex and myself to some where tropical. We rent a hotel. We forget to fly back home and set up camp on the beach. I call home and ask my mom and sisters to fly out with Cleo. Eric and I buy this house after finding jobs as a construction manager and an English teacher, respectively. Every single winter I get into this wicked funk and I am sick of it. Why can't I live in a place with no snow? Why can't I live near the ocean?

I know that Eric thinks I am a silly daydreamer but I really really want to live in Hawaii. I know I was only there for a week but in that week I had no desire to eat chocolate. I had no desire to eat cake. I ate fruit and was completely happy. You cannot tell me it was because of the getting married thing - that was just a nice bonus. Eric had been telling everyone that I was his wife for years. In our minds I think we've been hitched for a lot longer than two years.

I dream constantly about living in paradise. Now I need to focus on that dream and turn it into a plan.

Today I am making baby food for Alexander! I will admit that some of the organic jar baby food is OKAY - just okay. The bananas are pink and disgusting and those peas are green death paste. We tried frozen organic baby food which was pretty yummy. This crazy mama tries everything that her baby eats! The pears are cooking now and I need to put the sweet potato into an ice cube tray. The carrots and apples are already in the freezer! Soon I hope we can move onto the green veggies but he turned bright red after eating peas. I will try again with a different green veggie in a few weeks!

I made a bunch of food and am excited to see how long it will last. I would love to be together enough to feed the baby homemade food exclusively. I do need to get some raspberries and see how much it takes to flavor apples without overpowering them.

I am almost 29 years old and I have the worlds largest zit on my chin.

Happy New Year! I fell asleep around 5pm and then again around 10pm. Woke up at 7am-ish!

I am done with cookies and candies. I may partake in a piece of chocolate now and again because I may just overload myself if I am too strict. BUT I can most certainly avoid the things that are easily stuffed down my gullet. No more cookies.

Eric and I got a Wii Fit for Christmas from our moms! Oh happy day! I was completely surprised. I am giddy as a school girl! Or, I was giddy until the damn thing announced in big fat letters "OBESE" to everyone in the room. I realize that my BMI and weight are in the obese category but gah! So along with the the fitness video game I am going to try to bring a healthy lunch to work everyday in my new Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless Steel lined Lunch Jar. My lunches will have to be made the night before. My hopes are to not pass out at 8pm with the baby and actually get my shit together. One half hour to play my Wii Fit and make my lunch shouldn't be too much to hope for.

Here is the cutest shot of Alexander opening his gifts at (Great?) Uncle Jimmy's house! Alex had several days of gifts to open. He loves them all!

I made a hat with the most wonderful yarn ever! Shannon gave me some yarn and oh boy am I hooked! I will never again go to Michaels or AC Moore for yarn. Never ever! Me and my cheapness are going to be overruled by just fabulous stuff to work with! I am so glad that he finally has a winter hat... Its been killing me to use his hood only - it falls off and it way to tight to snap. And I realize how interesting that must be to everyone!
