Messenger, not as dated as we thought...

Michael and I met when we were Freshman in college and Instant Messenger was huge. Not to mention that we lived in different states and it was much cheaper than cell phone minutes at the time! We got to know eachother on Messenger, (maybe one of us was asked on a date that way) and kept in touch that way.

Anyway, as most of you know Michael and I keep pretty hectic work schedules these days with long hours. I wish that we had more time together in the evenings to cook, relax together or just to run errands. We survive on our weekend time together and, as I realized the other day, Messenger! The agency let's us use Messenger on our work computers (and I use it relentlessly during the day to get work done with my Coordinator in Fort Lauderdale) but I'm also able to send little notes to Michael once in a while or ask him a question without the cost or effort of a text message. Live conversation!

Who knew that a little IM could be a great way for us to stay in touch after we were MARRIED and lived in the same house! I guess our 9 year relationship with Messenger lives on!

Michael Blogged!?

My very diligent blogger of a husband finally posted a blog about our fun Nascar experience, but you'd never to know it to look at the blog since he began writing it in April and it now posted BELOW my last couple of posts! ha

Scroll down to hear about how much fun we had in April!

You're a TEN!!!

Tonight I had so much work to do (I'm still up and should be working) I scarcely got to sit down and eat our leftover dinner. There are spreadsheets to update and agenda's to make and things to catch up on even though I didn't leave the office til 7...

When this happens (this workload overload) Michael and I always ask if we can help eachother, but rarely can another help with the others job. Tonight, however, Michael was able to bust out a 10-key attachment and whip out a spreadsheet, saving me an extra hour of not sleeping.

For your 10 key skills and for so many other reasons - husband, you are a 10!!!

Good. Nite.

Mmmm.... Vitamins

I have to say, I don't like to take vitamins - I feel like they get stuck in my throat and leave a yucky taste in my mouth and even though I can swallow other pills just fine, vitamins are different. Sometimes I'm optimistic and I purchase a bottle thinking that I'll take them every day for good health, but I never do and they expire.


When I was little I had Flintstones vitamins that were supposed to be "yummy" but I'd put them in my mouth and hide them under my tongue for however long it took to get to the bathroom and spit them out. Usually I'd hold them there for 30 minutes or so to be sneaky before I spit them out (I wonder if my parents knew this, mom? dad?).


Anyway, Michael and I went grocery shopping a couple of weeks ago and imagine my surprise when I saw gummi-vitamins for ADULTS! Whaaaat?! These yummy things are called Vita Craves and they are scrumptious, er... more delicious than regular vitamins. The after taste still leaves something to be desired, but man, it sure beats regular vitamins. I would highly recommend these to other vitamin-hating candy-lovers!
