Where has all the blogging gone....
Ok, ok I'm back! After a couple of "what the heck is wrong with you" emails, I decided that the blogging needed to continue. As an update let's see what's been going on around the Larson household:
House: Since March we have been headstrong into making our house a home.... nothing has chnaged. We recently added a backsplash to our kitchen which Mike did on his own and I do have to say it looks great. We also painted the dining/living room this great color I found called "rust". It's kind of a fall color but I think it looks fabulous. We also finally purchased a water softener... sooooo needed. So what's next? ahh yes the man cave. We are plainning to begin construction our basement which I have begun referring to it as the man cave. Why? Mainly because of such elements as a pool table, dart obard, bar, projection TV and comfy seating. So what do I get? peace and quiet upstairs so I can watch "the Real Housewives of Atlanta"
Family: So my family's bodies are falling apart. My brother recently had knee surgery and just had to go back under the knife because of an infection. Marge well she's just old but she has a cornea transplant in her left eye. I keep asking her if they screwed up and gave her a hazel eye instead of her brown one. You never know-- it could happen. Both are recovering, but let's hope that's the last of the surgeries for a while.
The boys: Mike has been working a bunch but has also had enough time off to do house projects. Let's just hope he takes some of that time off and goes x-mas shopping for me in the next couple of months. Momma needs some bling. Matthew is a true 2 1/2 year old--- abosultely figuring out the world and is turning more into his Mom each day. Seriously what kid would freak out because his hands are dirty.... ummm mine? Then there is Nathan. If he doesn't make it in the NFL, then the world will be missing a great player. He is a brute at the ripe age of 15 months. He tackles EVERTHING! He has recently moved up into the toddler room at daycare and has his eye on this little chica named Jade. I thinks it's her curly hair that makes him melt.
Me: Not much to report over here. I'm learning to fill my days that have been voided because of the lack of Law School with the kids, Mike, sleep, Facebook ( can we say obsesssion?), organizing, cooking, cleaning, shopping, decorating, work, watching TV oh and reading. And you were worried I'd be bored... Am I ready for more school?-- heck no! Another kid? Not for at least a year. Another career? Hah. I'm happy to be normal and not have to have my world scheduled down the the minute.
Final thoughts: The one thing that my mind has been reeling from lately is the economy. Maybe because I know too much and how each fluctuation in the market, each company that lays off workers, each financial institution that screams for help affects me and those around me. Do I know how to fix it? I do have some ideas. Am I worried? Knowing what I know, seeing what I'm seeing-- yes. Does it stop me from investing? No--- that is not the answer. Sometimes knowledge is power but in this case I sometimes wish I was little more naive to the business world. My advice-- spend wisely.
