I need to go to FA - Facebook Anonymous

I am seriously addicted to Facebook. It is so fun to find old friends. Over the weekend I found a ton of people I used to work with at the News-Leader when I was a reporter. So fun! I wish they had Facebook when I was in college. The downside is that I spend time on Facebook when I am supposed to be doing other things. It can be a huge time suck.

Anyhoo - hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. Seth and I spent it with the kids. We woke up and gave the kids their Valentine's presents - Abby got Fawn and Iridessa, two of the Disney fairies from Tinkerbell. She now has five (she already has Tinkerbell, Silvermist and Rosetta). I think she's hoping for a couple more at Easter. I told her I didn't know if the Easter Bunny knew about the Disney fairies. Adam got a stuffed puppy he has named Bandit, two Cars books, and a gun that blows bubbles (in general, I am against Adam having guns as toys but think water guns and bubble-blowing guns are ok. I hate guns and do not want him to have anything that resembles a real gun. It's dangerous and you never know what could happen if someone thinks it's a real gun.) Seth and I did not exchange gifts. Instead, we took the kids to Red Robin for lunch. My mom went, too. The kids really only love Red Robin for the balloons, but it is nice to allow the kids to be loud and not have to feel bad since it's so kid-friendly.

For dinner, I picked up sushi take out and we ate dinner at home. The kids had leftovers (Adam had leftover Red Robin and Abby had perogis, which she loves) but couldn't have been happier. After the kids went to bed, Seth and I enjoyed a quiet evening of wine/beer and Tivo. It was nice and relaxing. Today, Abby had Sunday School. Seth is heading out grocery shopping now and I am going to clean the house a bit and do laundry. I am off work tomorrow for President's Day, which is so nice. Poor Seth is not.

This week again looks to be not too bad in terms of busyness. Abby has cheerleading Thursday, but that's it. Next weekend is Mardi Gras in St. Louis. I haven't decided whether I'm going. It really depends on weather. A high of 38 does not look appealing.

I also signed Abby up for swimming lessons, which start in March, and softball for the summer. Cheerleading and Girl Scouts wil be over by summer so softball will keep her busy. Turns out, she's too old for t-ball, although they still use the tee to help kids who haven't quite mastered coach-pitch yet.

And finally, my work out update. I worked out three days this week. Not the best, but better than the previous week. My food choices this week were also not the best. I was tempted by the chocolate and the cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory that Seth picked up were not exactly healthy. But, damn, so delicious and worth every calorie. I'll try to do better this week. It is hard, that's for sure. Some friends want me to run in the St. Patrick's Day 5 mile run in downtown St. Louis. I honestly don't even know if I can do that. I need to try to work toward it though. The only downside is that I go to Vegas for work that week and my flight gets it at 11 p.m. the night before. Makes getting up early and heading downtown for a run seem unlikely no matter how badly I actually want to do it. Enough excuses though - I should just suck it up and do it!
