Me: Bliss
Hubba Hubba: Grave
I text him: "Really? I play a sweet word & you respond with 'grave'? It's your move...be nice".
Hubba Hubba: Over
Damn...it's a good thing I don't have any serious insecurities.

Love Songs
I'm working on a playlist...to celebrate our upcoming 15th anniversary.
Something to commemorate that "We fucking made it!" when no one figured we would. :-)
Sophie B. Hawkin's "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" to showcase my desperation when Hubba Hubba wasn't so sure about the whole endeavor.
Heart's "Crazy on You" has to be in there to celebrate my 48 hours in the Nuthouse.
Huey Lewis & the News: "Happy to be Stuck with You" will probably be the final song on the album.
Now, I just have to find another 12 songs to highlight the "for better or worse."

Back in the saddle...
Is that an appropriate statement when I haven't posted to my blog in almost 2 years. or 3..some random number that means it's been ages since I put something out there.
Anywho....I still love facebook for the connection I have with friends but I miss the journal style of writing I have with my dear old blog. Methinks it's time to try again.
Sooo...Sweet Center is 14 (!) and is totally kicking ass at basketball. Sir Toots is 9 (!) has started the national religion of Texas, tackle football. It's fun to watch Sweet Center's team kick ass and Sir Toot's team try to figure out what the hell they are supposed to be doing out there when they actually have the ball. When the other team has the ball, it's pretty evident to them that they are supposed to chase the one runner down & watch them score a touchdown...but when we have the ball, they aren't real sure of the logistics of how to score. Fun times.
Hubba Hubba is still loving his dream job. He came home tonight & crashed...not sure if that was from the long hours for a new launch...or the pictures on facebook that showed the happy hour that occurred while the rest of America was still working. Either way, he got a nap in & so I'm in for a long night because he'll be up reading for several hours. ;-)
I'm cruising with my gig and the current plan is start classes for my master's in the Spring. I know I've talked about this *forever* but it's really & truly time to buckle down and get this dang thing started and finished. I'm training for a full marathon in December with a running group that I started. It's a phenomenal group of ladies and we call ourselves The Running Betty's...yes, it's totally cheesy, but it's loads of fun! I'm pretty sure that I'm going to make every person that I've ever met in my life come out and watch my cross the finish line. I did 5 half-marathons last year and it just seemed like a good time to mark the "Marathon" off my bucket list. I've promised Hubba Hubba that I'll only do this one & then get back into the half distance. The training is way more manageable. Plus, it also means that I can do the sprint distance triathlons. I just have to convince him to buy me a super quality bike so I don't feel all juvenile out with the big boys. No seriously, I did one on my current bike...the awesome one with a bell....and it was hilarious how towards mile 10 (out of 18) that I just gave up the need for speed & settled for dinging my bell when I got passed. It was a delight for the one passing me...not so fun for my ego.
Oh, Sweet Center is grounded because he failed Health. Yes, the smart boy managed to pass (with A's & B's) his AP classes but he couldn't manage to turn in his homework for Health...so no XBox, PS3, or whatever gaming system they have hiding up in their media room. We let him keep his laptop & then he lost that this past week because he still couldn't manage to turn in his homework. He's promised that he is doing his homework and will the grades up pronto. Fortunately our district has an online system that allows me to track his progress and so far he seems to get it. We'll see how a retake on a math test goes this week. I promised that he could have the laptop back if he scores well enough on the retake and brings that grade up before next weekend. Fingers crossed for the poor boy. I think he's read every book that we own in the last 3 weeks.
Okay, I think that's it for a summary. and enough journaling for me for the day. Until next time.
