Also, I think I am finally out of my post-vacation rut. It has literally taken me months to get over this post-paradise depression. In fact when we got home, we were so down, we tried to see if we could swing another trip out there before the year was through. It didn't happen, but that's ok. We'll survive. And plan a new trip somewhere else. :)

Why Do I Blog?
Awhile ago I was reading a blog post (surprise surprise, I can't remember where I was reading) that asked readers if they tell people in the "regular world" that they have a blog. My answer, for some odd reason, was a big fat NO. I just feel like either you are a blogger/blog reader person or you are not. Most of the people in my life are not. So I'm not really out there sharing that I have a blog. In fact one of my sister in laws almost pokes fun of me and asks me if I'm going to blog about something. (Maybe I will. Sheesh.) Do you share your blog with others? I guess most of it boils down to the fact that I'm a tad embarrassed about my blog. I'm not inventive, or creative, and have no real pizzazz for writing. But I know one thing for sure: I enjoy it. I enjoy connecting with others while I'm at home making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and diffusing toddler arguments in my sweats pants. And while I don't have a huge readership, and just in general have no real direction in this blogging world, I'm going to keep doing it. It's fun. And it can be done in glorious gray sweat pants.

Your Thoughts
A few discussions we've had at our house lately-nothing too serious of course, but I'm wondering what others think:
- The hubs and I have actually discussed this for years. When you hand wash dishes do you use hot or cold water? I've always washed (especially rinsing) in hot hot water. My hubby says the temperature of the water doesn't matter because the soap is what gets them clean. I will catch him rinsing in cold water and have a bit of a freak out. So does it really matter? Does the hot water help get dishes a little bit cleaner? Please tell me yes. :)
- Do you give gifts at every holiday? I feel like the situation has gotten out of hand--there are lots of small goody gift ideas on Pinterest for every holiday of the year. But I am not giving gifts for President's Day, St. Patrick's Day, etc. Sure I might color our pancakes green that morning, but I have got to draw the line somewhere. Otherwise the kids expect a gift just because it's the third Tuesday of the month.
- After months and months of no TV at our house (except for Netflix streaming through our Wii) we have finally gotten a hold of a digital converter and antennae. Any shows I should be watching on regular network television? I feel lost when I turn the TV on and don't recognize any shows! Except The Biggest Loser, so glad to have that back in my life. It is so great for motivation. Oh and America's Next Top Model tonight....it's my one guilty pleasures all right? :) I'm excited for Kelly Cutrone as a new judge. Love that woman and how brutally honest she is. Maybe I don't need show recommendations...
