Cabin Fever

Cabin Fever. I have it. It's driving me crazy. I want to be someplace warm (someplace OTHER than work or the library or Target (these are about the only other warm places I frequent). Besides the stir-craziness I have, I have millions of projects I could work on, yet nothing sounds interesting enough to get me off my butt to work on it. I'm blaming the past 36 hours of laziness on the weather. The freezing arse cold weather. Yes, I realize this is January and I live in Minnesota, HOWEVER, it's still annoying....BUT, I'm still going to pat myself on the back right now, because I haven't skipped any workouts. Believe you me, I've wanted to...but I haven't. Today was the start of week #4, which is an "off" week with less-intense workouts. Thank God for small favors.

Enough ranting about the weather (aren't you sick of the news people continuing to talk about it too? Seriously....yes, we're all miserable, let's stop talking about it!) :)

Ella's getting new teeth in like crazy! Last week, a bottom front tooth came in - the one beside the front tooth (I wonder what that one is called....) And this morning I found her first molar tooth! WOW! Top left - her first 1st year molar. Very exciting stuff. :)

And Annie if you're reading this, Ella's missing you. All day today she's been walking around and randomly saying to me: "Girl, puppy?" I'm talking LOTS of times. Girl = Annie. Puppy = Lilly.
A few of Ella's other recent words (this is more for my benefit, so when I get around to actually documenting her life in her baby book, I have this for reference):
hat,
hop,
dance (and she dances while saying it),
sit (she announces this, which actually sounds like she's saying s*it and then plops down),
fork (obsessed with utensils lately, and YOU KNOW what this word sounds like....not good) I'm sort of nervous about being in a restaurant and Ella asking for her fork. I'm guessing we could get a few looks. Honest - she's saying FORK.
horse (she didn't say this one for a long time despite her obsession with farms, farmers, tractors, and all the farm animals)

Alright, check back, I'm hoping to get some new pictures posted soon!
