Book Signing

So I may not be good at keeping up with my blog I still love to read others. There is one blog that I have learned from a bunch of friends called The Pioneer Woman. She is funny and has some really good recipes! Well she went from having just a blog just like this to having her own cook book all with in a pretty short amount of time. She was doing a book tour (back in Oct.) for her new cookbook and of all places she came to Little Rock! So me a 4 other friends showed up and got in line with hundreds! Who knew so many knew about her.... But we were hanging out at the Walmart. ( which I thought was a funny place for a book singing but what do I know) The line was wrapped from the jewelry counter past the towels around the corner past the music all the way into the automotive!!!! (IF you have ever been to a Super Walmart you know how far that is, and if you have been blessed never to step into a walmart then its a long way.) We have made some good meals thanks to the Pioneer Woman! It was a fun night hanging out with friends and catching up!

This and that...

We are alive!
I have been a slacker on writing the blog so I am sorry for that!
But to be honest we have not had that cool of lives lately.
Otto is back in school and I am seeing him less and less which makes me sad.
I am only ok with this because I know there is an end in sight...
I am still at the gym.
But I did go to Boston at the begining of Oct.
Well I say Boston but really a town called Worcester.
Which is pronounced nothing like it sounds!
I went for my Certified Pediatric Massage Licences.
It was a fun adventure one I wish Otto could have came on
but his classes wouldnt let him fit it in!
I will say Northerns are much more blunt and to the point then us southerners
I was trying to blend in but ended up sticking out like a sore thumb,
all because I said hello to the bus driver, then told him to have a nice day.
It was fun I took public transportation to get form place to place.
Wow I loved it made everything so easy and so cheap.
But those dang taxi driver are blood sucking vampires, incase you were wondering!
I was very glad to be back and I am very excited for the beinging
year hopefully I will be working less and less and the
gym and more with the kids!
So that is us in nut shell nothing to exciting but we are loving life and each other!
