Signs I'm Actually Not Quite Ready for Winter

  • Woke up this morning and it was truly FREEZING ASS COLD in the house. Hmph. And the 50mph winds weren't helping anything...they even SOUND cold.
  • It's dark all the time
  • My zipper is broken on my winter coat. I do not have "winter coat" in the current budget! Ack!!
  • I lost a mitten last February and have yet to replace them. Brrr, cold fingers
  • My storm door was frozen shut.
  • My back gate was also frozen shut.
  • My garage door too was frozen shut.
  • My windshield wipers are inadequate (to say the least) for all the slushy, salty, wet crap on the roads. *
  • I have yet to get touch-up paint for my car and to touch up the little rock chips which have been plaguing me since warm weather. And now the salt & crap is already on the roads - ack!! **
  • My hat is warm but makes me look a bit like a conehead. ***
  • It's cold.

Those are just a few reasons. *sigh* I am, however, ready to snowshoe and x-country ski! I suppose it has to be cold and snowy for that. Ay yi yi...and while I do like winter (I do, really), I just don't like the cold - ha ha...

*I bought wiper blades after work.
** I ordered touch-up paint after lunch.
***I still look like a dork in my hat. Perhaps I should knit one....


Oh! And I went to my 2nd day of Salsa Cardio - wheeeeeeeee! My triceps almost died during the push-up portion of class but I *mostly* did it! Yes!

Then I had a beer. Is that bad?

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Born 5:32am on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 7lbs 11.5oz 21 inches long He came before the pitocin which made Mama very happy & he's 100% all natural. It was tough, but I admit I'm proud of myself for doing it! Labor story to come, but first I must eat a cinnamon roll....

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
