It Feels More Like Work Now

Well, sort of. The Little Boy is pulling himself up on anything and everything so we purged my dilapidated, death trap of a desk and got a tiny yet solid desk for my little corner in our living room. Now I may be inspired to write a lot and blog a little.

Happy Day After Mother's Day

After years, only four years but whatever, of being disappointed by Hubs' lack of initiative regarding Mother's Day I finally took it upon myself to tell him what would make me a happy mama on Mother' Day - flowers and a nice brunch with my boys.

Mission accomplished as Hubs returned from shopping with some pink roses on Saturday and booked our standard fancy pants restaurant for brunch.

It was lovely. Hot, but lovely. And my boys held it together remarkably well. We came thisclose to needing to leave before dessert, but we managed to finish our meal and to avoid too much in the way of angry glares from fellow diners.

So, from me and my boys, Happy Belated Mother's Day!

It's That Time of Year

Holiday season means one thing, okay several things. One of my favorite things about this time of year, however, is the seasonal stuff offered at Lush.

Luuuuush!

I've loved Lush since I was 23 and found myself in London, cough, in 1997, cough cough. 15 years later and I'm not nearly so obsessed with the stuff, but I do enjoy a Christmastime splurge on many lovely things, chief among them my pink, sparkly Snow Fairy.

New year, new me!

So I finished up '10 with several days of a steroid infusion and the promise of going back on a disease modifying drug to stave off my further deterioration from MS. The good news is that the steroids must have reduced some of the de-myelinating, MS-bringing inflammation because my symptoms have improved. That means I am still relapsing-remitting. Woohoo!!! The bad news is that I have to go back to giving myself shots thrice weekly. Crappity crap!

But so all that means that I'm finally looking after my disease activity - that's resolution number 1.

I have also resolved to read more - so far so good.

Exercise, eat better and lose some weight - so far I've only been successful with eating better, but that's a start, right?
