Hmmm what to ramble about now?

So I haven't written in over a week because first I got a stomach virus, accompanied by his friend, the cold virus, this time surfacing as a menacing throat infection, and now settling down to just a regular mild cold; oh! and let's not forget the friendly pink eye infection who knocked on the door of my eye lids earlier this week! That, and being newly addicted to the online version of Boggle - Facebook's "Scramble". It's grand. Especially when you've been under self-imposed house-arrest.

But now I'm better. And though I'd rather lay around on the couch and eat whatever I want to for sickness' sake, I'm up and at 'em again. And eating what I want to for no sake but lack of self-control. At least the Christmas cookies are all gone (and not by my doing)!

And since there's absolutely nothing on regular tv on Friday nights, and no one is signed into Yahoo messenger to IM with, and I'm now bored of Scramble, I might as well Blog. But what, tell me, shall I say? I have plenty to say during the day, mind you, but my mommy mush brain congeals at about 8:30p.m.

There was a moment of blue sky and sunshine this afternoon and Jose and I let the girls try out their new bikes they got for Christmas. Jose cut Rebekah's hair last week, after many days of her begging and pleading. I would've done it. I did one time, but was never satisfied with how it turned out, so I eventually took her to the cheapest place I could find to have them do a very slightly better job than I. Jose is a perfectionist when he wants to be, so I gave him the job this time.

With some Christmas money I got myself Rachel Ray's 365 No Repeats cookbook and I'm excited about it. I need to get back in the kitchen and be more intentional about our meals!

I refuse to make a list of New Year's resolutions, but I do aim to exercise and lose weight at some point. Also to memorize more Scripture and refresh the ones I've already worked on (1 Peter 1, Ephesians 4, and Colossians 3). And every morning I wake up and beg God to make me a better wife and a better mom.

And I got Rebekah a new set of books to help teach her to read. They are the Bob Books - heard of them? I like them for her so far. She's doing well and is making progress.

And that, my friend, is a rambling line of thought if I ever saw one. Nice chattin' wiche'!
