Slow blogging period...

I know I have lots to blog about but I am so darn tired these days that I can't seem to get anything done. And when my laptop was still working I could blog from the comfort of my couch. But now I have to actually sit up in a real chair at a desk to do anything. Crazy, you know?

I haven't taken many pictures lately. Its been really hard to keep the babies still enough to focus lately. And the lens that I'm using now is all manual focus all the time, I'm just sort of sucking at it all.

Question for those of you with a 50mm Nikon lens. Sometimes when I am looking through the view finder my image looks perfectly in focus and then when I look at it on the little screen its not in focus anymore. I don't know why this is happening. It happens even with subjects that don't move. Really annoying. Any ideas? I hope my other lens comes back from Nikon soon!

So needless to say I have no pictures that I feel are suitable to blog because they are all out of focus. Here are a few from the last few weeks that were actually in focus.

Back to real life on the computer

Well my laptop has officially been declared dead and is about to be sent back to Dell to get a new memory and some air conditioning. (that how I see the new hard drive and fan thingy) Luckily we just extended our warranty, last month, to a 3yr one that covers absolutely everything! YAY!!!

The verizon fios guys came back and fixed out internet connection on the desktop, so I don't have to hit refresh 30 times in a row, cross my fingers, stand on my head. and chant pleasepleasepleasework. So now I feel like am connected back my my internet world.

As soon as I find my usb cable I will upload some new baby pics. I was able to just put the card from in into my laptop and never needed the cord to download, but now I do. So look for those in the future.

The shred is still going. Have been off my schedule as of late and have not been shredding my my usual regularity. I promise to get back on the wagon tomorrow!!! Or maybe sunday. I am still loving the results that I am seeing and have finally seen some weight loss. But I really don't know if that is shred related or if all the pool time has helped that out. Probably both. How are you guys doing?

And Annie- Our next computer will be a Mac. I soooo love Macs!!! One day we will be an apple family over here,just like you. xoxoxo

And my biggest shout out goes to Mrs. T-Rob! Minivanmom--- so super excited for you and the fam! This job is so meant to be. I just kept sending all those positive thoughts out and look what it got us! LOL Congrats on the new job!!! Now sell that house and get your minivan driving butt up here. I will still come and help you pack. Just tell me the day. :) Love you!!!!

Computer Woes

My laptop got infected by a worm. And now the most wonderful Andrew is going to have to wipe it clean and rebuild it for me. Sometimes I really hate technology. So if you don't see me online for a few days you will know why.

We are still going strong on level three. We did slack off a little and took about 2 days off. And now we are thinking it may be better to do level 3 every other day and do cardio in between. We are so close we can taste the end. Now just to work up the will power to make it through! :)

Shred Level 3

So level 3 is seriously the hardest level by far. But what's really crazy is that I am enjoying it the most, even though I am cursing Jillian by the end of it.

What are you guys going to try after you finish the shred? I figure that we really gotten our bodies into a good routine so we may as well keep it up right? So what have you heard about or what do you want to try. I was thinking that I may focus yoga for the next month, and add some major cardio in. What are your plans?

Baby pics!!

Level 3 Shred Day 1

Just started level 3 and can I say it is hard core? Well it is!!! But in a really good way. Explosive movements sort of SUCK! Or is it Plyometrics? I better be seriously ripped by the end of it!

Just spent about 10 hours in the pool this weekend in training to become a swim instructor. This was just a training try out and then we had to take a test to see if we passed to make it to the 40 hours of training to become full fledged instructors. Luckily after a full weekend of pool and classroom training and a 73 question test, I passed and have now officially become swim instructor in training. YAY!!! This is with one of the top 3 swim school in the US. I am really excited about it and can't wait to teach my kids what I learn as well.

More to come later. Killer sinus headache- can't think straight. How are you guys doing?
