Time for a new post? Heh

Ok, so part of the reason why I haven't blogged for so long is merely the fact I'd forgotten my password. And then I'd get too busy to blog. And then my flickr account was out of sync with my blog (how the heck did that happen?) and on and on...

So now here I am again, after almost a year, picking up the blog again. I've got so much to write about and so much to share that has happened since April of last year. I have a beautiful new baby girl (who is almost 2 months old, already!) and my husband has orders to a Destroyer, which will be going out to sea in a couple months. He's in school right now, but once he gets home we'll have to move somehow in 15 days. I don't have a clue how this is going to happen, and to be honest, I'm kinda freaking out. Our house is a mess, we have so much stuff that we need to go through and get rid of, and I don't have a clue how to do this. I took a moving class once, when we moved from in-town to on-base, but that was 4 years ago, and we did it ourselves then. We've never had actual movers come and do it. (Well, I did when I was a kid, growing up a Navy brat and all, but not as an adult and a Navy wife!)

So honestly, right now I should be cleaning instead of writing. See, there's always something else I should be doing, which is why my poor blog has been neglected so much. Well, that and I spend way too much time on flickr as well, though even that has gone waaaaaayyyyy down in the last few (well, several) months. During my pregnancy, I was just too tired to get on for long once my husband was done with the computer (he's really into fantasy sports, and sports in general, so the internet is how he keeps up with the lastest info.)... that or I wanted to spend time with him instead. Mostly I'd be on for a little while, while he played Xbox, but even then I had little energy to comment on others' pics. I feel really horrible for neglecting my friends/contacts so much. I don't know why I'm so bad at keeping in touch. I don't hardly email, I don't like talking on the phone (unless it's to my husband), and I don't know... I just - I love having friends, I really like the ones I've made on flickr and all... it's just hard to keep up with everyone. I have only so much energy, and the kids get most of it during the day. At night when I'm not busy with them, I'm usually wanting to just sit and watch something or look around flickr and see if there are any new developments in my groups or such. I haven't even been hardly uploading photos; only very sporadically at best. *sigh*

Well, I'd better get going. I have a dishwasher to empty/fill, and so much other stuff to do. Plus I wanted to have some ice cream tonight. I bought some vanilla/chocolate with chocolate-covered peanuts and ice cream cone pieces, but now I'm craving something minty. Maybe I'll make a milkshake and put some pillow-mints in it. I dunno. Oh wait, we're out of milk. Have to go to Central Market tomorrow. Darnit.

Oh, and tomorrow's the super bowl, too. Bears vs. Indy. Wonder who'll win? I'm not really rooting for either team. Neither are my team. So I'll just watch, and hopefully see some cool commercials (the quality/creativity of those have seemingly gone down as the years have passed though - or maybe we're just so used to all the special effects/computer animation that nothing grabs us anymore. Oh well. What a bunch of jaded people, huh?

Well, I'm off. Hopefully I'll get some rest tonight and be able to get up earlier tomorrow. G'night! (I'll post some pics later; flickr is offline for some server upgrades or something).
