A Whole Year!

I have entered the love/hate relationship that is Facebook, so I've really been neglecting the blog. I've been thinking about the blog recently and realized that it has been my output of the early years of the girls. I hope to print these out one day for the girls to enjoy!

So, not much in our lives has chaged...just our lives as Babygirl has TURNED FOUR!! And, Jellybean is a walking, talking, headstrong, happy, beautiful toddler. This summer has really been a turning point...the girls now do most everything together. Dress-up is a big one. They have a nice collection of pink princess and fairy dresses, complete with purses, jewels, shoes, and other accessories. It's especially fun to see Jellybean prissing around calling everyone "Highness! Highness!" (Hope we got that on film!) The other big strides in our lives is that both girls have learned to swim somehow! Babygirl started off the summer not wanting to put her head underwater. Now, she is diving to the bottom of 3-4 feet of water to get the diving rings. At the beginning of the summer, Jellybean was still not able to get her feet under her if she tripped in a couple feet of water. Now, she is pushing off, getting horizontal, and kicking! At 2-1/2! It's unbelievable. I'm glad I didn't pay for swimming lessons. Seems like they learned more just by being in the water.

I've been working on the DeKalb mapping job since spring of 2007. That project has been on hold since last December. Sooooo, I've been working primarily on projects in the Virginia tidewater area and DC. Same SSES work, mapping, condition assessments, database management. Love it!! Haven't seen a client in over 2 years! Can't beat that! Just kidding... :)

Sales have been slow for Mapgeek since the housing market and construction markets tanked. In the meantime, we now have our first African-American president who is so over the top outrageous in his spending to get us out of the recession and kill capitalism, that markets have started picking up. I just wonder what the monetary difference between how much our taxes are going to go up and the potential money for sales will be. Anyhoooo...

I've forgotten how much I like blogging, especially when I can soapbox and nobody posts a bunch of opinions and then get in a fight on MY pages.

Still haven't done a sprint tri. Still half training for it, though it's hard to find the time to train for three different sports and work and deal with the kids. This is why there are so few women triathletes.

And that is the general goings-on at the moment. I really need some new books to read if anyone has any suggestions. Otherwise, I guess I'll go watch Tivo. Night!
