Biometric Screening

So, for 2013, my job is switching insurance carriers and we have to have these measurements taken so they can help us be healthier.

Jake had to go to his own doctor, whereas I got to have it done at work.

Me:   So, what was your blood pressure?

I hope that if you know Jake AT ALL, you can hear him saying this in his "yeah, baby" voice:

Jake:   138/80!

After consulting the Mayo Clinic's website:

Me:   That's pre-hypertension range.

Jake:  Oh.   Is that why he told me to get some exercise?

Starting Over

You may be aware that I have been blogging for years now - but, it was mostly in that "Dear Diary" format - like this is what I did today and this is how I felt about it.   

When I had Little Boy #1, I blogged the crap out of that pregnancy....and then sort of was in and out of the blog 'verse.   When I was pregnant again, with what turned out to be Little Boy #2, I really didn't do a whole lot.   Problem with his is this: we thought he was a girl until he was born.   So, most of the blog is centered around my thoughts and hopes and fears and dreams of my daughter Lily.   Big deal?   Not really, but it was sort of hard to keep going when the universe had just done a 180 on me. 

Is it worth starting over?   In my mind, yes.   I would like a place where I do more than just talk about the day to day minutiae - I mean, as must fun as complaining about my crazy family or my crazy co-workers is, there certainly must be more to the earth than that. 

So, where to begin?   I have lots of thoughts, but it's always the organization of all of them that gets me. I mean, who doesn't like a good stream of consciousness post, but that can't happen every day.  Is this an effort for me to make money?  I don't think so.   Mostly, I love to post about the boys and my life, etc. etc., but Facebook is really starting to irritate me.   Would everyone come to a blog, rather than Facebook?   Just for me?  Maybe not. 

I suppose in the next few days, I will organize myself.   And I know for a fact that I'm going to take a page from the book of a real-life/interweb friend and start posting some of the more ridiculous/hilarious things that my husband says.   Might call it:  Things that Jake said.   Maybe it's not as funny to you, but the non-sequitors are hilarious to me!  

In any case, look in the coming days for a little more info, a little more organization.   Maybe some random musings from Jake.   If I can stop laughing to write them down.
