I remember back when “getting hits” was SO important. Blogs/journals/domains were all the craze, and people couldn’t join webrings or submit a directory submission quickly enough. It took me a little longer than others to jump on the domain bandwagon, but I’ve never really looked back, even though my available time has changed so much in the past 11 years.

I still enjoy journaling, but I find it nearly impossible to journal anything with real “substance” anymore! Having a little one takes so much more of my free time then I knew I had to give (and understandably so!), and I willingly have given this time away to spend time with her. If I truly spent more time journaling here, I’m pretty sure it would be full of goofy baby things, and the daily “What Lily Did”s. And while that may appear cute for awhile, it wouldn’t be surprising if it started to get a little old!

So, I’m not getting rid of my domain, but it’s definitely been hibernating for awhile now until I can find motivation and time to really breathe new life into it!

I’m off to play with Lil!

Lily is in bed early tonight, and my husband is preoccupied with the Wii at the moment. Shadow is unsuccessfully attempting to convince Jonathan that it is his dinner time. The day’s craziness has given way to the blissful predictability that is the weekday evening.

Work was rather uneventful today. I find my lack of motivation to be rather dominant lately. I have been itching for a mommy-daughter day for some time now. Just the two of us, playing with toys, sharing an endless supply of snuggles, and not worrying about any of the current drama at work. I truly love every minute that my daughter and I share. They make everything else seem insignificant.

I’ve really come to appreciate having a husband that is so organized and so good at getting certain less-exciting things done, from sorting laundry to requesting an insurance quote every once in awhile to make sure we’re getting the best deal. I know, sometimes I poke fun at him because he can be a little anal retentive, but overall I’m very fortunate. I do my fair share, mind you, but luckily he definitely carries his own weight as well!

It really is amazing the quantity of TV, internet, and radio ads for the so-called best weight loss product. I often wonder how anyone manages to choose between all of the options out there. It just seems like an unnecessary evil to me! I may not be pleased with my weight, but some of these medications just outright scare me!

My husband’s hair is going gray. Well, it actually has been for years, but I am definitely noticing it more. I’ve always loved his rich, dark brown hair, and I’m really going to miss it! I guess in the grand scheme of things, I shouldn’t complain too much. At least I know he won’t be shopping for hair loss treatment anytime soon!
