What a difference a day makes...

This weekend was hard.
Everyone was sick with the stomach flu, but me.
Being sick is no fun. But it looks like everyone is going to pull through. The house has never been more sterilized and the hand washing is constant...so I think it is contained. The babies have their movie on Wednesday if all goes well and I am working on my list all week.
"My list" is a list of shit to do around the house to keep me from losing my mind. It keeps getting longer but that's ok because I need something to keep me focused. Since leaving New York, I find myself struggling from too-much-free-time syndrome and it is dangerous. I have a habit of getting lazy when I don't have anything to do and then I just sleep. I think it has to do with the fact that everything moves so much slower out here and I can't seem to find my pace. It's coming, though.
Slowly but surely I will get my shit together.

My current status...

Hello all,
I am having an interesting week. Maitlyn, one of my beautiful nieces, took her first steps on Wednesday and my sister Tracy just announced they are adopting a baby boy next summer. So much is happening here, it's all moving so fast. I can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving, especially since it was about 85 degrees today. To all my northeastern friends and family.... I'm sorry. I know it is getting cold up there and it's only going to get worse. I finally get to be warm all winter! Yay! I am actually going to play volleyball tomorrow on the beach and I'm not wearing a jacket!
I love my life.
P.S. This isn't me...it's Kerri Walsh...but I could look like that one day...hopefully.

ELECTION DAY!!!

We did it! We finally elected someone who has the potential to bring us into the 21st century. A man who has the ability to calmly and rationally assess a situation, with a strong moral compass not corrupted by greed or desire and a humble confidence that will bring our country off its knees. Barack Obama is the 44Th President of the United States of America and I am proud to say that I aided in his campaign. I proud that I cast my vote, for the first time in my life, for Obama. I will stand behind him as president and I will fulfill my end of the bargain, as I have faith he will fulfill his. My nieces and nephew will know a better world because of this day. Today I am proud to be an American.
