I'm getting there . . .

. . . but, this might be taking a while because I guess my step-dad thinks that he has a niche for fixing things but it's plain and obvious that everything he touches, he ends up ruining. My Internet isn' working. When I do log on, I'm either at work or stealing my neighbor's non-secured Internet connection. I think it happened when I gave my family my desktop computer and he switched the "main computer," so after mixing up wires and disconnecting a bunch of things, it is now irreversible and we need to call our Internet provider, so Josh will do that some time this week.
Speaking of Josh, our 4-year anniversary is coming up a about a week and his homemade gift is officially underway! I can't tell you what it is because he reads my blogs, but after he gets it, I will have to post some pictures!
I don't know what our plans are yet. I think he has made himself in charge of our plans again. I think I should call shots for next year although his plans are always romantic (and free for me!).
As you know from my last blog, I went to my first New York Yankees game! It was so nice besides the fact that we had two obnoxious, drunk Sox fans behind us saying (not so) mean things to us, spilling beer all over my brand new purse, begging to go to our non-existant wedding (and bring a girl they didn't know, across the aisle from us, as a date), and yelling immature things to Johnny Damon ("Hey Johnny, your shoes are cute!" "Johnny, remember when girls used to think you were cute? Then you got old!"). It was definitely an adventure worth remembering!
You have to check out the Staples' new family dog! Her name is Shelby and she will eventually "hook-up" with Toby!
Isn't he (well, the puppy, too, I guess) adorable?
That cutie-patutie!

Okay, so I am currently trying to redo this blog and for some reason I am having trouble. So, until then, you are going to be looking at an ugly, plain blog. If someone reading this is a whiz at correcting codes (I think I messed something up), then please let me know because it would be great to have a new pretty blog again. So, if this is your first time by my blog, please do not think this is it!
I guess I will still blog a little bit even though this isn't pretty . . .
Tonight, me and Josh are going to the Yankees vs. Sox game . . . Go Yankees! We are so excited because this is our first Yankees game! I can't wait to eat a ballpark hot dog!
I have also started my scrapbooking again. I don't think I've ever mentioned this is any other blog, but it is definitely my favorite hobby (besides sleeping haha!). The scrapbook that I am currently working on is my nephew's first year. My eyes have swelled up so many times doing the scrapbook because I cannot believe how fast that little bugger is growing up! I still have a ways to go, but when I am partially done, I will let you guys see a little bit.
Well, I need to run to Archivers, deposit my check, do some homework, and try fixing this blog (probably mess it up more). So, I will catch up with you soon.

When I said that I was serious about working out, I was serious. No more being lazy.
I woke up, did some homework, and got bored, so I started looking at stuff online. That always turns into something bad. Nothing good ever comes out of me being bored and sitting online. Actually, I did something really bad. Josh and I both love the Yankees. They are our favorite MLB team. I went on the Yankees website and was looking at tickets for when they will be in Chicago. July 30-August 2. I bought tickets. Josh doesn't know about it yet. I figured that since they were good seats, why wait? They might sell out by the time Josh decides to by them. I mean, we were going to go to a game this summer anyway, right? I'm kind of afraid to tell him.
After spending $130 on 2 Yankees tickets, I decided that I had to make it up to myself and do something that would make it easier to tell Josh. Sprinkle some sugar on top, if you will. I hate running outside. There is something about it that makes my teeth hurt and my lungs feel like they are being pinched. I ran a mile outside. Huge accomplishment for me. I could run forever on a treadmill, but for me to run outside is like pulling teeth (and it feels like it, too!). I texted Josh, "I may have just done something really bad. Can't talk about it, going for a run. BYE!" Whew, got that out of the way.
The run was not bad at all. I think I might make it a routine. I am trying my hardest to lose these last few stubborn pounds. I know that they won't come off easily, so I am going to have to work at it. After my run, I went to McDonalds and bought a large Diet Coke. Yum! So refreshing! So really, that was two good things I did to make up for the bad. I ran a mile and resisted some tasty food. Josh oughta be proud!
So, I have officially decided that I want to take acoustic guitar lessons. I have been wanting to do that for so long and I have settled on the decision. I am doing it. Josh's cousin teaches lessons for pretty cheap, so I am going to have to save up some money for an acoustic guitar and sign myself up! A friend of mine is going to do them with me, so that'll make it interesting. Someone to hold me accountable, eh?
Oh, one more thing. I don't really talk too much about my nephew. In fact, I don't think I have mentioned him at all on my blogs. I should be ashamed of myself! He is the cutest 16 month old baby in the world and I am honored to be his Aunt.
Today, I was playing with him outside and this giant ant came crawling by and I said, "Andrew, look. Look at the ant. Ant." I wanted to teach him what an ant was. So, he started running after it and slamming his palm behind the ant's trail, laughing. Finally, he smushed the ant, looked at his palm, and said, "Uh-oh." It was really the cutest thing because he just learned how to say, "Uh-oh." His voice is so low and innocent and he sounded really concerned about killing the ant. So stinkin' cute.
So, I have redeemed myself. If Josh asks, I am wise and know what I'm doing. Thanks for backing me up, you guys!
