Email Addresses

I recently had to choose a new email address when I switched from Comcast to Verizon. I only had one or two minutes to make this extremely important decision. I didn't realize how useful it would have been to prepare in advance. I couldn't just use my previous email address because it contained my ex-married last name. I decide to go with my and Jay's initials and out last name, no luck. It was already taken. Then I thought about adding Brett's first initial because he uses the email account also. Can't just add Brett's initial because his last name isn't Tyler and he might be offended. The ending results is an email address from Hell - jatylerbfrancis@verizon.net. It doesn't fit within the spaces designated on forms, it doesn't roll off the tongue and it is just too damn long. Next decision - do I go ahead and change it, or just live with in?

Life Update - short version

Since my last post on January, I got married, my son finished middle school and my daughter has started talking and won't stop.

The Spring went by so fast, that I hardly have any idea of what happened.

Brett played baseball on a team that, frankly, sucked. I think they won one, maybe two, games to whole season. Worst of all, he did not have fun playing this year. He managed to finish middle school with the best grades he had all year. He is about 6'4" now, calls me small everytime he sees me and still leans on me at every opportunity. My favorite quote for leaning is from the tv show Big Bang Theory, "If you've got to time lean, you've got time to clean." I use it as often as I can.

Georgia is a total delight. She is funny, smart, cute as can be, usually sweet and definitely her mother's daughter. Brett calls her mini-mom. She cannot stay out of trouble for more than ten minutes and has decided to show her temper. She loves the water and plays "swimming baby" and "floating baby" in the bathtub. She learned to use a floatie at the pool yesterday and had a great time.

Married life is good. I think I have finally managed to figure out how to add a huband into the mix. Unfortunately for Jay, I think my learning curve was longer than he had hoped for. Now, if I can get workouts added back in, things will be even better.

If anyone knows how I can change the title of my blog, I would love your help!

A Million Years Later

So, it maybe it hasn't been a million years since my last post, it just seems like it. Big things have been happening in our house for the past two months.

Georgia has started walking. She is girl on the go and can reach absolutely everything on any table. Her arms don't look that long, but they must stretch like the mom from The Incredibles.

Brett is gearing up for baseball season. His grades are doing better this second half of the year and he is still growing. His favorite pastime is telling the rest of the household how small we are compared to him.

Me - I am getting married. Very exciting news. Jay asked me the day after Thankgsiving and we are planning a wedding for March 28, 2009. We decided to live in my house so that Brett and Georgia will not have to switch school/daycare. At the moment we are making wedding plans, combining houses and generally running ragged.
