Bet’cha can’t tell by all the recent posts, huh? *lol* Seriously, hey blogland! How have ya’ll been? I’ve been excellent. So much going on and so little time to write about it. I’ve got about 20 half written entries that I hope to complete in the near future. In the meantime, here are a few things that are on my mind:

• Motherhood is a beautiful, exciting, exhausting experience. The little guy and I are 10 weeks in to the “experiment”. So far, he’s surviving the instincts of a bumbling first time mom. Thank God for my mother, the wisest person I’ve ever known.

• My maternity leave ends in one week and I am dreading returning to work.

• There clearly needs to be a support group for Facebook addiction. Or more specifically, Mafia Wars addiction. As Monnie has said, “I can’t leave the house without moving all my money to the bank and using all my energy.” Ri-damn-diculous! But, the thrill isn’t as great anymore now that I’m level 50, have about 300 million in the bank and it takes FOREVER to refill energy.

• My current favorite tv shows are “Fringe” on Fox, “Eastbound and Down” on HBO, “Cash Cab” on Discovery and “Deserving Design” on HGTV. “Criminal Minds” on CBS

• I get the idea that the current administration wanted to open up The White House Easter Egg Roll to more people outside the DC area, but the online ticket distribution system is NOT WORKING OUT. I’ve been trying all day on behalf of my hubby’s goddaughter. Boo hiss!

• I’ve been writing so much over the last 3 months and I’m very, very close to having the first draft of my novel complete. YEAH ME! I am nervous about taking the next step.

• I refuse to listen to the radio anymore. I have no interest in any of the syndicated talk shows and the music that the local djs play is horrible. My radio stays on Sirius satellite radio or a CD.

• Bolthouse Farms has a drink called Perfectly Protein that gets my day started in the absolute right way. It comes in three flavors – Vanilla Chai Tea, Mocha Cappuccino and my favorite, Hazelnut Latte. In the words of Rachel Ray, they are “Yumm-O”!

• My cell phone is a piece of crap, but I’m not interested in upgrading as long as I can still make calls and send text messages.

• Two of my brilliant nieces have been accepted to their first choice colleges – Howard University and University of New Haven. I’m so proud of them both.

• My grandmother has been providing me with extremely blog worthy material

• I’m challenging myself to blog at least once every two weeks. Hmm, wonder how that will turn out.
