Last night I spent the evening w/ a group of wonderful women that I worked with! kid.free. Ya'll I haven't done that since..... well, since.... I'm not sure. Boy did we laugh.and eat. A LOT. After a wild couple of stressful weeks at work we all needed it.
Potty training is going extremely well... a lot better than I thought that it would.... Diego undies are working wonders ;) I find myself tearing up when I see that little diego clad hiney running pass... where did my baby go?

Big Butter Jesus
Jess posted about the Big Butter Jesus earlier this week...I'm so glad she forwarned me. Unknown to me that I would be passing it, I seriously think that I would have had an accident if I hadn't have had a clue. Not to be irreverant or anything... the statue really looks like Jesus is made of butter! I laughed and laughed some more!
Potty training is going OK.... as long as our boy is butt n*ked. Even underwear is being treated like diapers, so slow goes it. Seriously though, Mikey is finally ready (thank goodness after hearing my MIL give me the 'all of my kids were potty trained by 2 1/2' speech. 3 days and only a handful of accidents :) Now if he's in underwear by the time he's in kindergarten!!

I can't believe that I actually won something!! Katrina over at Callapidder Days has been hosting a Spring Reading Thing w/ over 120 book give-a-ways. I won an awesome book by MaryLu Tyndall. I love Katrina's blog, and am amazed at how great of a contest that she hosted.
Can't wait to read my new book :)
*Edited* I received my book in the mail today, and it was even autographed. I know, I'm a nerd! Go on and laugh, hubby is! I can't help it, I'm such a book lover at heart... it's gonna be awfully hard to go to bed tonight (cuz I'm gonna wanna read)!

WFMW- Always Have Money
I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached some days, seriously if you don't believe me you must not remember the shoe incident (or the lack there of). Seriously, it's that bad. If I take my purse into the house at night, I have to put my keys in it so that it actually heads out the door w/ me in the morning-- but honestly, I still forget silly things ALL. THE. TIME.
Darwin loves this though... the days I forget my purse are usually days that I forget my lunch too!! (And since I travel for work a lot, lunch is a neccesity for me! no food = Grumpy Angie w/ a migraine) So what I've done is I've stashed a couple of dollars away in my desk at work, so that I always have something w/ me...even if I'm travelling that day! That works for me!!
For more awesome tips and ideas go explore over at Shannon's.

Carnival Time!
Chilihead is having an awesome blogging carnival today. Take a break read through here and then head over to her site, and go exploring!! Have fun :)
* How did you start blogging?
Being recently out of college, I had the *mandated* xanga/myspace thing going on just to keep up with friends, but got really tired of it very quickly. It seemed all so contrived and I really got tired of hearing about school work, dorm life, love lives, etc... So when my first college roommate introduced her blog dontgivehimcrackers , I got snooping through links, subscriptions, and such and I absolutely fell in love w/ this new bloggittyville. I am loving that so many of us have so much in common, in the same phase of life and am learning, laughing, and growing more all of the time.
* Did you intend to be a blog w/a following?
Not really, but it would be nice. :) But right now though, I'm still learning how to do the really cool stuff (like adding pictures would be nice) and don't know how to do a lot, so I'm retreating to my little corner, but you're more than welcome to stick around... just don't expect too many jazzy extras. (Hey, I just figured out how to add links tonight!!)
* What do you hope to achieve or accomplish with your blog?
Not only do I hope that someday family may catch on to this whole thing so that they may feel a little more connected, but I want to preserve some of the stuff doesn't belong in a baby book that, maybe, someday my kids can look back on and laugh at or even *gasp* learn something from. Also, I have found comfort in others struggles... and have loved meeting such a diverse group of women.
* Has the focus of your blog changed since you started blogging? How? focus?!?! What's that?
* What do you know now that you wish you'd known when you started?
Not to be so uptight :) I've almost peed my pants laughing at some peoples blogs... and have learned so much in doing so :) Like not letting pull-ups end up on ceiling fans.
* Do you make money with your blog? That would be cool!
* Does your immediate or extended family know about your blog? I think my husband does, but that is about the only one that I know of (a lot of my family don't even have internet yet). I don't think my hubby reads it though.
* What two pieces of advice would you give to a new blogger?
#1 -- Write for yourself first and foremost, don't censure what you're thinking.
#2 -- Just because someone else's oppinion isn't your own, doesn't make them less than you, and it doesn't make it/them right or wrong...diversity makes the world go around. Just don't be mean about it if you disagree.

The Whole Family...
will be together tonight and tomarrow. I do mean the WHOLE family. Two of my brothers and my sister will be at my parents house tonight and tomarrow (I have 1 more brother, but I didn't grow up w/ him in the house... another story for another day). This will be the 1st time that all of us have been together since before Shawn and I met... so hmmm it's been since '99 or '00. When I first found this out (plans were made for all of us w/in 3 days), I really did tell my boss that 'hell would be freezing over this weekend!' This will be interesting to put it mildly :) BUT this means that I'm heading outta the big city tonight, and will be in KY for a good get-a-way!
