The One with Thoughts on a Thursday

My brother of all people said I need to blog more. I didn't even know he reads this except when I tell him to. So this one's for you Eric.

On Tuesday we went to Disneyland (and renewed our passes - yay!). I took exactly four pictures the entire time we were there. This is the best one:

Either A) I've run out of things to take pictures of at Disneyland, B) I'm realizing it's much more fun to be "in the moment" rather than trying to capture everything on camera, or C) Having such a big camera is preventing me from taking it places and documenting everyday life. I really like taking pictures of our day-to-day events and blogging about them though, so I'm going to make a better effort to get back on the picture-taking-wagon, even if that means I use my crappy little point and shoot. 

Poor Mr. Fox is sick again. He got over the virus right before my parents came, then as we were pulling into the parking lot of D-land he threw up. He has a cough and a stuffy/runny nose and is all around miserable. Lots of snuggles and Toy Story on repeat help. 

I have a Dr. appointment tomorrow to hear baby #2's heartbeat! I hope there's an ultrasound machine available too cuz I love seeing the little lemon every month and makes it feel more "real". One more week then I'm officially in the 2nd trimester! I didn't take a nap today - the first time in a couple months - so hopefully I'm getting my energy and drive for life back! 1st trimester hormones really do a number on me physically and emotionally and psychologically and mentally and creatively...

I made FIVE cards today for the Create: Blog CARDS challenges that I make up every week! I haven't participated in a few months (see paragraph above as to why) but today I sat down and whipped some out! I only got to take pictures of three of the cards before I lost my sunlight so I'll show them all first thing tomorrow. Or, if you're super impatient, you can see the first of the five on the Create: Blog here. 

I'm getting up to 1200 posts! I didn't do an 1100th post giveaway, I have no idea why, maybe I was still wiped out from making those 10 handmade books for the 1000th post giveaway. But I've got a box of stuff accumulating for 1200 which should be in about a month! Stay tuned!

My mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table Tuesday night when out of nowhere she says, "You're a very lucky girl." She then proceeded to list off a bunch of things to be grateful for. My husband, my baby, my stay-at-home jobs, our apartment, and so forth. I have a very pessimistic and negative personality so lots of times I revert to whining and complaining when really, we've got so many things to be happy about. I resolve to focus on the positive instead of the negative!

That's all for now!
How's that Eric? :)
