Things that I love and other miscellaneous stuff

So... I haven't been very chatty lately.. guess I just haven't had a lot to say.  :)  I will say it's a rarity though, I ALWAYS have something to say.  :-D

So, I am sitting here in my office, it's VERY quiet... Jason is at home recuperating from a bout of the stomach flu (every half an hour all night long), poor guy.  I think that Hurricane Ike has people battening down the hatches and it's quiet.  I kind of like it quiet though.  I have time to do some work, catch up on some stuff, write in my blog and keep up with those other blogs that I love.  nice, huh?  

Hurricane Ike is baring down on the Gulf Coast and where a couple of days ago, it was aiming at Corpus Christi... now it has circled it's wagons and is heading straight for Houston.  Ick!  I will say that *we* have been very lucky of late...  much to the chagrin of the Nawlins residents...  but we have been very very lucky.  Lets just hope and pray that it's not as bad as it can be.  That Houston gets hit with a bit of it without it really being the BIG one.  

So, a few of my friends are evacuating up here. It's really an excuse for her to come and see me (yay!)...  and I can't wait.  It will be such fun to catch up... and have time to do so.  And, jason is scheduled to go fishing... but with his current state of recuperating, I don't know if he is going to go or not.  Although he did say with all of their cancellations, it gives him a better chance of winning something!  HA!  My optimistic hubby!  :)  Go get em tiger!

I also had a bit of a frustrating night with my toddler... I don't know if he is cutting his molars or if he was just cantankerous... but he slept oh... maybe six hours last night!  YAY!  that's fun!  A hubby throwing up, a cranky baby and one tired mama!  

So, it got me to thinking of things that I love.  :)  

I love remembering my Frankie kitty and seeing this picture of him snuggling with his Sammy

I love that smile I get from my pookie that is reserved just for me.

I love when my husband comes up behind me and nuzzles my neck.  (not done nearly often enough).
