Organization and the science fair

I didn't sleep entirely well last night, and woke up very tired.  Lazed around most of the morning, and decided to get down to all of the stuff I've been avoiding all week.  Major reorganization.  You must know I had to be *extremely* bored in order to turn to cleaning/organizing. LOL

I got my summer and winter wardrobes switched out (talk about behind the times) so that the summer stuff is put away a little more, and the winter stuff is more organized and accessible.  So that's a start.  Tomorrow I tackle the rest of our 'spare room'.  Yippee :D

When the boy came home, he finished up his homework and then decided to get started on his science fair project.  The topic he was given (because he waited too long to choose one) was to find out what would happen if you roll a full can of soda and an empty one down a plank... which one will hit the ground first? 

We got all of the legwork done today... 3 different inclines, 5 trials each, so that his data is conclusive and thorough, and I got pictures of all of it for his posterboard... not sure what else to put on there, because it is SO straightforward.  But I'm proud of him for deciding to work on it tonight (3 weeks before it's due).  We'll spend the next few weeks trying to make it look as good as possible. 

Oh yeah... and I ate potatoes for breakfast.  ROFL

So I survived

Quiet day is over, and my guys are home.  It was surprising to me how weird it felt to be alone all day, and then to get back to our routine.  We'd only been doing the home all day thing for about 2.5 weeks, but everything felt weird today.

All's right in the world, now, though, and my guys are back to their games.  I'm sitting here happy as a clam.

Ate too much today, though.  I kind of expected that.  It was absolutely a function of boredom.  I'll have to work on that.

Well, this is it...

That's my couch.  Notice the distinct LACK OF PEOPLE?  Yeah, I'm alone with the manimals, and they're not much for conversation... so I've got the TV going, for company, and all I want to do is eat.  So guess what I just threw on the stove?  You got it... potatoes.  I don't know what's wrong with me.  Seriously.  Potatoes?

Oy

Oh, PLUS

200 DAYS!

That's 17,280,000 seconds, but who's counting?

Well, Kris Allen and Us, I guess ;)

What do you suppose it means...

That I am craving potatoes all the time?  I have no idea.  I can't get enough of them, though.  Bizarre.  I've looked it up online, and the most common thing I can find is that I'm lacking Tryptophan in my diet.  REALLY?  Tryptophan?  Isn't that the stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy?  Why would I need more of that?  I'm stumped.  LOL

I can say, without a doubt, that already... 3 days in to the year, and I'm definitely doing better with the whole 'daily update to the blog' thing than I am the whole 'dietary moderation' thing.  Ugh... feels like I was eating all day. :(

The Honey got a new video game today, and to say that it's not 'child appropriate' would be the biggest understatement of my life.  I'm even a little grossed out just listening to the thing in the background.  So, after we sat down and had dinner and watched our family show tonight, he threw that into our living room Xbox, and The Boy got all excited... "Do I have time for Madden?"  Lol, yeah... so they're playing their games... one decompressing from the first day back at work, and the other trying to forget he's back to school tomorrow.

The house felt funny today without The Hunny home today (I was lucky enough to have him here for 9 days straight), and tomorrow will be worse, I'm sure, because The Boy's been home with me for almost 2 1/2 weeks.  Not that I don't have a TON to do that I put off while they were here... I definitely do.  But I'll miss them, and the house will feel SUPER empty.  I'll probably have to have the TV or music going all day to fill that void, since the manimals aren't much for conversation.  LOL

Feeling extremely domestic today...

Maybe it's because today is my last day with my 2 guys at home.  9 days went by WAY too fast.

It's a great day, though.  I got up and made a big brunch (so much for moderate eating, huh?  It's Jan 2, and I've fallen off that wagon already.)  We had pancakes (The Boy had his special blueberry pancakes from Nana and Papa), home fries, and bacon.  Yum.

We had a chance to go throw the football around for a little while, which made me extremely happy... we haven't been able to do that on Game Day for quite a while, though we did slip out and throw it around for a few minutes on Christmas Day, with The Honey's new football, so the guys could try out their new receiver gloves.  We had a blast out there today, and those gloves make quite a difference.

I've got chocolate chip banana bread in the oven, and it's starting to smell good. :D

The Broncos and Tim Tebow are on in less than half an hour, and I'm totally psyched for that too.

Happy New Year!

Ok, so I'm about half an hour late for the first official Project 365 post... but it's still today, as far as I'm concerned, so oh well. ;)

We had a nice lunch out today with some friends, and then came home to relax, for probably the first time during The Honey's vacation (which is almost over). 

We listened to some music, played Just Dance II (sorry, no pix of this one... I'm sure it'd be frightening, lol)  and then watched a movie.  What a great afternoon and evening. 

The Boy also got to see a Disney movie he'd been hoping to see, so that was pretty cool.

All in all, a pretty boring start to Project 365, but a great day... Sometimes the 'boring' days are my favorites. ;)

Oh yeah, and we did get signed up for Skype so that we can do our Pre-marital counseling long distance... lol.  Isn't technology grand?
