Ok, so, I know I've been kinda MIA lately. And then I get back on here and I'm all like "I've been so busy and I miss blogging and writing and as soon as things settle down and get back to normal I'll be back" and yadda yadda yadda.
Well, I suppose it is finally time to come clean. I've been exhausted. And tired. And sick. And...
well...
pregnant.
NOT! Sorry, couldn't resist. I know everyone is just waiting for that announcement, but you'll just have to keep waiting.
Truth is... I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but, about three months ago, we took the plunge into somewhat recent television-hood and subscribed to streaming Netflix. And I've been like a little kid in a candy shop ever since.
I've watched River Monsters. All of them. And Numb3rs. Most of them. And some 24, and some Mythbusters, and some great documentaries (The Kennedy's, anyone?)
But, what takes up most of my viewing pleasure? McDreamy. And McSteamy.
Yes, that's right. For the past 3 months, I've averaged about 1.5 episodes every 2 days. Now I must insert a disclaimer that the hubs works evenings, so I'm not sacrificing that time. And I watch after Ansley is in bed. And I make sure the house and things are cleaned up.
But then, I spend about 47 minutes in Seattle, roaming the halls of Seattle Grace hospital.
I've always been a sucker for medical dramas, so this isn't anything new. And, I used to watch the episodes as they aired, but even though the switch to digital was supposed to be so much better, I get fewer channels now than I did before, and the channels I do get don't have sound. So, yeah, Netflix was to us what indoor plumbing was to my grandparents.
At least, I think they grew up without it. I know my grandmother certainly appreciates it now.
Maybe it's more like a porta-potty. Not quite as nice as the real thing, but it beats using a tree.

Extended Stay
I just enjoyed a vacation. At the beach. With my whole family.
I love all three of those things. But vacation always seems to fly by so quickly. It seems like it takes MONTHS to get here, then is over before you know it. This year, however, I managed to find some things that seemed to extend our time there.
Top 10 Ways to Make Your Beach Vacation Seem Longer:
10. Make your pregnant sister sleep on the sofa bed.
9. Stay in a house that sleeps 8, but have 10 people.
8. Rent the quaint little house next door to the three story house with a beautiful, crystal-clear swimming pool.
7. While at stoplights, look around to find yourself surrounded by cars not only from your home state, but FROM YOUR COUNTY. (We were 9 hours from home)
6. Dream about work. Every. Flippin. Night.
5. Go to Walmart. Every day.
4. Make sure your dogs know that a recent high school grad is house sitting, and they need to do everything in their power to be the topic of several facebook conversations, including having puppies!
3. Pack almost 20 different shirts, but some how manage to forget to pack enough undies.
2. Get a major sinus infection the first day.
And, the number one way to make a beach vacation seem that much longer....
Plan it for the same time as Shark Week.
Oh, and, make sure your kiddo decides to cry the last hour of your trip home.
But that's 11 ways. Just leave one out.
