Two blog posts in one day? I know.. totally unlike me lately. I don't know what my problem has been the last couple of weeks. I'm just tired and stressed and haven't felt like writing at all. Hopefully that will change soon. I do have another website with my sister to keep up with as well. I haven't done shit there either. I really need to shake off this BLAH feeling! Maybe it's just because it's cold and snowy and I can't stand winter. Yeah.. I'll blame Mother Nature.

I'm totally addicted to CSI as of yesterday! According to my husband, I always said "what a dumb show" every time he would turn it on, but yesterday I actually watched it and I love it! I watched several episodes (reruns) of the original show and then one of CSI: Miami. I like the original much better than Miami. I like the actors better and the chemistry between the actors. It seems much more realistic than Miami. It just flows where CSI: Miami does not. So now we have our DVR set up to record the reruns every night. That should keep me busy during the writers strike. I can't believe the show has been on for 8 seasons and I never gave it a chance. I have a lot to catch up on!!

That is crazy! I was in shock when I heard it, but it's all over the place. Heath Ledger was found dead - possible drug overdose - in his lower Manhattan apartment on Tuesday, January 22, 2008. He was only 28 years old. How sad! I feel so bad for his baby girl, Matilda. Read more on CNN.

I haven't felt much like blogging lately - as you can tell. So much for blogging every day this year. I didn't even make it through the first month. Oh, well. Life goes on.. right? Not much is going on with me. Just enjoyed the long weekend and spending time with my family. Now I'm back at work. Blah.

I have done absolutely nothing today. I'm still in my pajamas, for crying out loud. I played a little Resident Evil: Nemesis on the GameCube this afternoon, played with my kids, watched a little television. Yep, I think that is about it. I have to work tomorrow and Saturday, but definitely looking forward to having Sunday and Monday off. I will probably do absolutely nothing then also.

Plans for this evening: cut my son's hair, read part of a book with my son, play with my daughter and then.. once the kids are in bed.. my husband and I are going to rent Mr. Woodcock from OnDemand.

Two of my favorite people are getting married!

Everything about today is going so slow. My computer is running slow, the internet is running slow and the day is going by so slow. I'll be happy in another hour and fifty minutes when I can get the heck out of here. I am excited to watch our shows tonight. We are watching October Road which is on our DVR from last night and then Nip/Tuck is back after the holiday break. I'm hoping they will both be good episodes. We watched the Sarah Connor Chronicles on Sunday and watched the second part of the premiere last night. It's a good show and I'm glad that it's on. Not so happy that it's in the place of K-Ville, but I'm assuming that K-Ville has been cancelled and that is why. At least we have something decent to replace it.

I have been trying to catch up on all the emails that were sent while I was on vacation last week. I've been here for two hours and just finally read an email that states we will be closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day! That's so cool! So, even though I have to work this Saturday (which means that I get Thursday off), I still get a two day weekend. I also requested two days off in February so that I will have a 4 day weekend for my birthday. I couldn't help myself.

After nine wonderful days with my family I am now back at work (in hell). So far, so good. It's not overly busy so that's one positive thing. I miss my husband and kids already! I did not want to get out of bed this morning. I'm already looking at the vacation schedule to see when I can take more time off. Heh. Not that I will any time soon. I don't want to use up all my vacation time at the beginning of the year.

Well, it's almost over. My vacation, that is. I have to go back to work tomorrow. Blah. I think that's the first time I've used "blah" about anything since I've been on vacation. It's been an extraordinary nine days with my family. I know I didn't do much of anything, but it was great just hanging out and seeing my kids and husband for such an extended amount of time.

Tonight we got to leave the house without the kids. We did a little bit of shopping and then went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and drinks. It was fantastic. We're both completely stuffed and barely able to make it off the couch, but that is quite alright. We plan to lounge in our pajamas and watch a few of our shows before heading back to reality.

I know I said that I would never have a Myspace page, but as of today I do. I set one up for me and my husband. I'm totally addicted to changing the theme and adding things and finding friends and so forth. I've been sucked into the world of Myspace. It's all down hill from here. I have a very old picture of me and my husband on our profile because I can't find one on my computer that I like. Until I can have someone take a decent one it will have to do.

Add us if you have a Myspace page: Neptunebaby and Venusboy

Well, folks.. my vacation is almost over. I only have the weekend left. It's been so nice being at home with my family.. making lunch for me and my husband, cooking dinner for the family, playing video games and watching movies, staying up late and sleeping in. I already can't wait for the next week I take off. The good thing is that it didn't fly right by. Sure, come Monday morning I will feel as though it did, but in reality it has been a nice, long, relaxing week and I'm thankful for it.

Well, my 14 month old daughter just took over the television. We've been DVR'ing Sesame Street lately because she is so in love with Elmo and the rest of the crew. No matter what kind of mood she's in... as soon as she hears the theme song to Sesame Street she sits down in front of the television with Elmo and becomes glued to the set. Right now she's out there dancing in front of the TV. I guess I'll be waiting a while before I can go back to my video game.

I have been playing The Sims 2: Castaway on our PS3 all day long. I am completely addicted to it. I don't know what it is about the Sims, but once I start playing I just can't stop. I imagine I'll be playing all night long as well.

My daughter and the new love of her life, Elmo.

Today is Elvis Aron Presley's birthday. He would have been 73 years old. Even though he is no longer with us, he will always be the King of Rock-n-Roll and continues to be missed by many -- especially me.

Happy birthday, Elvis!

Here is our family photo from Christmas Eve. Unfortunately my oldest son Jamie isn't in this picture because he was at his dad's house that night. Eventually we'll have to get the whole family in one place.

It was so nice not going to work today. We didn't really do much of anything - which is exactly what I wanted to do today. I do plan on doing a few things while I'm on vacation, but I have no schedule and that's the way I like it.

Today has been a great 2nd day of my vacation. My mom told us to bring the kids over and sent us to an early afternoon movie. We saw P.S. I Love You with Gerard Butler and Hilary Swank -- my mom's suggestion and her treat.

It turned out to be a very good movie. I cried through half and laughed through the other half. It's definitely something I would have normally rented - because I hate getting that emotional in the theater, but it was lovely getting out of the house with my husband alone. The movie had a fabulous soundtrack and the final track was one of our all time favorites by Flogging Molly.

Today is my first day of vacation. So far I've slept in until ten thirty, watched Happy Feet with my kids and made pancakes and cheesy scrambled eggs for all of us to enjoy. Now my daughter - who is 14 months old today, I might add - is napping, my son is playing a video game downstairs in the "game room" and my husband is playing Final Fantasy X on the PS3. I think it's about time I got back into playing Final Fantasy III on the DS. I haven't played in days and I've started to lose interest, but I'm sure as soon as I pick it back up I will be hooked again.

I'm counting down... three minutes until I'm out of work for nine days! Today didn't go by as slowly as I anticipated. I'm such a neat freak too. I'm cleaning my desk before I leave - even though my desk is always extremely tidy. Hey, it gives me something to do to pass the time. I won't have to worry about finding a way to pass the time in just two short minutes!

Today is my last day at work until January 14th! I know damn well it's going to be the longest day too. It always is when I'm excited to get out of here. All I can think about is how nice it will be not having to do anything for the next nine days. I hope it doesn't fly by too quickly.

I got word today that my vacation time for next week has been approved! After tomorrow I will be off work for nine days!! I know it's an odd time to take a vacation, but I get three weeks total so I figured now would be a good time for the first week. I really need a mental health break from work.

In other news, I've signed up for Blog 365. Yep, that's right... I have to blog every day in the year 2008. How much fun is that? Loads, I tell you. Wish me luck!

I think this pretty much sums up the last week:

I've been busy spending time with my kids, my husband and playing Final Fantasy today, but wanted to pop in and wish everyone a happy new year! I hope 2008 brings great things to everyone.
