Facebook is one of my most favorite places on the net. Over the past 2 years of being a member, I have gotten reacquainted with so many friends from so long ago. And I’ve made some new friends too! My siblings and cousins all keep in touch here as well. My clients are also my friends and I share their pictures with them and their friends. There is no question about it, plenty of time each day – throughout the day – is spent looking through and playing on Facebook. Some days I can’t pull myself away at all. It’s just fun! Today was one of those days – the entire day was spent catching up with friends from my 2nd grade Brownie troop!

I’m trying to find new healthier ways to curb my snack tooth. I’m a chip addict but then after eating that salt I really want some sweet. I was so excited to find this gem. I love applesauce. I love pomegranate. Yay for healthier snack. So good too!

Really – did this Thomas kitty get into the makeup? He was peacefully sleeping on the bed when I snuck in to photograph his little paws but he heard me coming and I couldn’t resist those eyes when he turned toward the light.

Uh oh, spaghettios! Connor was doing his best to help feed the dogs but he had forgotten to hang onto the lid on the container. It was super full and it pops off when tilted too far. I’m pretty sure the Corgis weren’t THIS hungry. Though Millie seems to have been.

No matter where he’s at or what he’s doing, Dillan’s eyes shine so blue. He looks so little in this picture but he’s growing so fast.

Today we went bowling with friends – something I hadn’t done in years! [except for the Wii] We had a great time! Hannah had been bowling before but not Connor and Dillan. It was great to see them all having such a fun time. Bowling shoes are now cool I guess so Hannah snapped a picture of hers and mine to show off.

I spent the bulk of my day cleaning and organizing my room. There are plans for a room renovation before summer to move a kid or two to the basement and for me to create an office space out of one of them upstairs for me. Until then I needed to keep some business items handy but out of the way. Until now, it was a bit of a cluttered mess. I knew I needed to create a space for them so the clutter could be minimized. A cubby shelf from Target and a bin pulled up from the basement and many hours of sorting and organizing later and this is what I have. My file folders are still in the desk downstairs which is a bit inconvenient but at least they are out of the way. I got my room back but still have some office space. Is it warm yet? I want to start finishing the basement and set up an office!

Guess what I finally found in the store today?!?! I’ve been wanting a Wii Fit since before Christmas but every time we go looking, there are none to be found. The lady at the counter said that despite there being a stack of them [at 7:30 pm] from their shipment today, there will likely be none at closing tonight. I scooped this one up fast! We had a good time playing tonight. It’s nice to be able to have some fun but get some exercise indoors on these super cold days.

I was following Millie around today because she was being kinda cute. She’s always cute but today was a little more cute. I’m still not sure what she was ‘playing with’ in the window but I loved the way her reflection looked. She has some super long whiskers. Millie is love.
