Wasps!

Des got stung for the first time on Sunday. We think it was a wasp. He was on the playground. Matt was saying how nicely he is playing by himself when Des let out this high pitched shriek. Matt ran over and scooped Des up. He was still crying uncontrollably. We saw a mark on his hand. Put some ice on it.

A few minutes later he calmed down and we talked a lot about wasps, bees, etcs. We were walking back to the car when I saw another mark and raised red spot on his elbow. Poor guy.

He was fine by the next day.

Bicycles

I miss riding my bike.

I have been very lazy since I've been pregnant with Des. I have always some excuse as to not exercise. I'm pregnant, I'm sleep deprived, I'm pregnant again, I'm even more sleep deprived. Then the worst excuse: "I deserve this time to watch tv/play the Sims3/surf the web/etc."

Not that I don't deserve to relax and do these things, just that I do do them, a lot. Everyday I tell myself, I'll go outside tomorrow. I'll ride my bike tomorrow. I'll take a walk tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Right now my bike is at our old place. I think Matt might be getting it tomorrow. (tomorrow! haha). But at least my bike will be here. We will have two bicycles locked up outside our apartment.

We have a bike seat for Des on Matt's bike but Benjamin needs to be at least a year old to use a seat like that. I hope next Spring that Matt and I can each take a child and ride bikes as a family together.

Hockey!

We have been meeting the neighbors in our complex. Tonight one of them taught Des how to play hockey and Des was a natural! He was even using an adult stick. We need to get this kid some hockey equipment for his size!

We are really enjoying South Jersey, way more than I ever expected.

Packing, packing, packing

We always wait until the last minute to pack. Always, always.

We plan on leaving for Vermont about 8 pm tonight.

It's usually not a big deal, but being tired, pregnant, and having to take care of a 2.5 year old put in a few kinks.

I'm doing laundry now. I'm trying to think if I should start making dinner now or wait until after Des's nap. I'm thinking after.

I plan on making baked ziti with Daiya Cheese and TVP. I'm off to look for a "meaty" TVP recipe.

We also have guacamole so I'm going to pick some Mizuna from the garden and mix those together. That will be our salad!

Macs!

Eight years ago I was introduced to Macs. I fell in love and ever since I had the money to buy my own computers, it's been nothing but macs.

There have been a few hiccups but not as many as I had with PCs.

So sites like this: Mac Computer

really make me wish I had a ton of money.

I have a Macbook from 2008 which works great, but does not have enough memory for video editing. I'd love to have a separate iMac solely for video editing.

I'm drooling over this right now. I have put a few videos of Des on youtube and wish I could do more, but I would need that iMac! I have been taking videos but can't edit right now. I also have video from our wedding. I would love to edit that and get some clips on line.

Like I said, my laptop is great but when its ultimate time comes, this looks like a great replacement.

oh Macs, why do you make me drool so much?
