See that list over there? To the right…yeah that one.
Um……
I’m not doing so well at crossing those things off the list.
I have had a date night with hubby, kept up with birthdays (so far)…and that’s about it. I’m not sure if sleeping a lot is doing something nice for myself.
I have to remind myself that it’s only a list and although I REALLY want to get a lot of those things done, I’m only human…of flesh and blood…a man. Wait. I guess that song doesn’t really apply. Surry.
Moving on….
What have I been doing you ask??
I’ve been trying to get over being sick. Sick with mysterious “allergies†that feel like a sinus infection, but don’t present like one. Sick with a tight burning chest and a cough that isn’t really responding to the nebulizer treatments.
I’ve missed the last 4 Sundays at church, either because I was sick or one or more of the kids were sick.
Being sick sure does take up a lot of time and energy. Ask my Sister, she knows all too well. I don’t know how she does it. All. The. Time.

I’ve been enjoying watching the Winter Olympics! They are probably the only sports I enjoy watching.
Some of my favorites to watch:
Short Track Speed Skating
Ski Jump
Curling
Moguls
Half Pipe
I think the only thing we haven’t watched is Ice Hockey. I like to watch that in person, but not so much on TV.

I’m super excited to be preparing for a trip to Europe this summer with my Dad. My Sister and Dad went last year after a business conference and Dad promised he’d take me there one day. This year is my year!
Who wouldn’t want to go here?
I have mixed feelings. I have always dreamed of traveling but because of my severe motion sickness, it’s sort of been just that; a dream. After I discovered a patch to wear behind my ear, I am able to fly without puking and I’m sure go on a train as well.
We’ll be meeting my Sister in Amsterdam at the end of her conference, and then see my friend Nanci, that I’ve known since the 4th grade. She lives there with her sweet little family of 3. After our visit, it’s on to Italy!! I am just along for the ride, and Dad is making all the plans, but I KNOW it’ll be an experience I’ll never forget.
I’m mostly looking forward to experiencing Italy with my Dad. When you don’t know how long you have to spend with someone, every second is precious!
Besides, we have such a good time when we’re together, who wouldn’t want to spend 10 days with these guys??
So…the first thing that should be on my To Do List, is get a passport! I’ll be working on that, and my diet. I have a personal goal to lose 20 lbs. by June 1st. We’ll see how that goes, but I have a really good feeling about it.
