I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still here.  I know that I have promised some updates since Christmas.  Seeing as it is almost March…..well, I think that you get the picture, right?

I could say that I have been really busy.  I have been really really busy.  Basically, I can’t remember a night that I have been able to stay awake past 9:00.  I was even in bed and asleep by 7:30 this week.  When that alarm starts going off at 6:00 am, I struggle just to hit snooze and stay in bed a little longer (I can usually make it another hour).  Kyle, however, comes to bed around 10:00 or later, and pops up shortly after the alarm has gone off.  Jerk. 

I don’t even know where to begin an update.  We drove to Indiana for Christmas.  It was 20 hours in the car with a sleeping dog.  The good news is that Rocky did really well in the car and slept most of the trip.  The bad news is that he was REALLY awake and ready to play when we had to stop to sleep.  That just threw off our whole sleeping pattern for the entire trip.  The first night that we returned to Texas, Kyle and I both slept for 12 hours straight.  We just left the doggie door open and let Rocky come in and out as he needed.  It was a good trip to Indiana, but we just came back way too exhausted.

January - I really don’t remember much about that month.  We celebrated Kyle’s 30th birthday.  I was nice to him because I’m not too far behind, and he will remember. 

February - Well, as you know, we celebrated Groundhog Day at the beginning of the month.  It was fun as usual.  Rocky even got into the festivities.  Okay, I jumped around singing "Groundhog Day, Groundhog Day!" and he thought that we were playing the world’s best new game.   Then, we met my parents in Las Vegas for a weekend.  We saw a couple of comedy shows and the Cirque d’ Soleil show "Love."  If you are not familiar with "Love," it is set to all Beatles music.  It was great! 

That’s pretty much the update.  Everything else is work work and more work.  I need to find a better balance.  It is not even March and I am getting burnt out.

I will try to post some pictures soon.

it is that time of year again,  GROUNDHOG DAY!  i just wanted to wish all of you a very very happy groundhog day. 

it is true, however, Punxsutawney Phil, the prognosticator of prognosticators, the seers of seers, saw his shadow this morning.  when he sees his shadow, that means six more weeks of winter.  for all of my friends up north, i am so sorry, but it is going to be cold.  you need to bundle up.  for those of us in the south, it might get a little chilly, take a light jacket.  everyone, enjoy the next six weeks of winter weather!
