It's snowing today.  I wish I enjoyed the snow.  It's pretty to look at; I'm staring out my large glass porch door and seeing it accumulate and can appreciate the beauty.  I've lived in New Hampshire my entire life, but I can't recall the last time I thought to myself, "Wow, I can't wait to be out in the snow!".

I imagine when I was a child, I liked it.  I can remember building snow forts, sledding and making snow angels.  I loved snow days.  It's sad that as we get older, things that once brought such amazement are nothing more than inconveniences.  Maybe when Connor gets older and can be brought out to play in the snow I'll like it.  I'm sure his innocent adoration of the soft, cold, fluffy presence that is snow will bring, at the very least, a smile to my face.

It's my favorite time of the day; Connor's in bed and I can enjoy some time to myself.  Does it make me a bad mother to have admitted that?  I mean, most mothers gush about spending time with their babies.  Don't get me wrong, I do love spending time with Connor.  I just love the period of time when I can take a deep breath and relax.  Besides, I'm anticipating he will wake up soon for a bottle; my mother-in-law put him down to bed and said he only ate two ounces.  Definitely not normal.

On a non-baby related note, I can't figure out what to do with my life.  I know that's not abnormal, but it's so frustrating.  I've been going to school (college) off and on for the past seven years.  I've accumulated an absurd amount of debt from taking these classes and don't yet have a degree to show for all of that time and money.  I've been taking classes pertaining to the Liberal Arts degree, but that obviously won't accomplish much when achieved.  I need to figure something out.  I think I need to make an appointment with a school counselor to ask for some advice.

Yikes, this blog is turning into a Livejournal.  I truly didn't want it to take that kind of format.  I guess it's hard to maintain a personal blog without making it... personal. 

Well, I guess I'll leave you with some pictures.  As usual! :)

Yikes!  I've fallen behind with this whole blogging thing.  It's what I always do, so I'm not overly surprised.  I suppose I haven't had much to write about as of late.  I could always update you on the mundaneness that is my dieting and every day life, but it seems so dull. 

The new year came around so quickly.  It's hard to believe that I can officially state that Connor was born last year.  LAST YEAR.  That's insane.  He's changing so much already.  His personality is developing and he's obsessed with his little feet. Who would have thought that eating your feet sounds appealing?  Every day I'm amazed at how much he's growing.  I swear that I'm going to blink and he's going to be asking me for the car keys.

I'm still working on learning my camera.  I'm partaking in a 52-week photo challenge; there's no way I could do the 365.  I'm having trouble with composition and always wind up chopping off the head of my subject and by subject I mean Connor.  I need more subjects.

 

See what I mean?  The tip of his head was cut off.  Oh well, I'm just learning, I'll get there.

Have a great day/week/however long it takes me to update again! ;)
