<br />
- i think it's because i now have to seat in front of a computer all day at work. it's the last thing i want to do when i get home.<br />
<br />
- may neglect the last few months of wip and do christmas and new years and maybe try to start fresh? in march?<br />
<br />
- have melie's pictures and bullets all on my phone. i haven't forgotten about her, just haven't wanted to be near a computer.<br />
<br />
- i am so sick of snow.<br />
<br />
- add that i'm sick of bitter cold too. i feel trapped in our house!<br />
<br />
- olympics are coming! so excited.<br />
<br />
- just finished <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1844624/">american horror story: coven</a>. oh my word! love that show.<br />
<br />
- saw <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3063516/">bad grandpa</a> with the girls last week. meh. so not what i was expecting.<br />
<br />
- ben helped nick cook dinner last week. shrimp something or another. he loved it. and enjoyed the finished product too!shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09034776504000154862noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701030.post-30377894384074012692014-01-22T22:37:00.000-06:002014-01-22T22:37:00.803-06:00wordless wednesday. my first snow blowing experience.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
nick talked me through starting it over the phone. phew! had shoveled about a third of the driveway before he was able to get in touch with me! was worried i was going to have to shovel the whole thing. might have been easier. my carpal tunnel is not a fan of the snow blower!<br />
<br />
those tracks belong to the fed ex truck. i did not have the balls to try to get little miss hybrid over the snow plow hump and through the 10 or so inches to the garage! and nick had made a quick pass before we left for the morning. lake effect snow is bananas. but hooray for this much light at 5pm. ;)<br />

<br />
- shh, i'm typing this at work. not looking forward to my commute this afternoon. 20 inches of snow. ugh! i'm so over winter.<br />
<br />
- saw <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/159336235/valentines-day-gift-chrome-bottle-opener?ref=sr_gallery_7&ga_search_query=husband+gift&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_page=13&ga_search_type=all">nut job</a> last night with ben. john and the girls invited us last minute. meh. glad to spend time with everyone but wasn't impressed.<br />
<br />
- ben was playing a video game and i asked him what the name of it was... he replied, 'bad guys fighting the world.'<br />
<br />
- cannot power through this last bit of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Allegiant-Divergent-Series-Veronica-Roth/dp/006202406X/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_z">allegiant</a>. {divergent trilogy) i really don't like who that picked to play tris. maybe i'm boycotting?<br />
<br />
- think little miss has her first cold. has had quite the runny nose. hoping it doesn't get worse!<br />
<br />
- feeling lucky. love my friends. love the laughter they bring into my life. wish i saw them more. xo.<br />
<br />
- have a terrible itch to go shopping. hoping i can reign it in!<br />
<br />
- trying to make a to do list for this month and realized it's almost over. eek. maybe i can get one project done.... maybe?<br />
<br />
- waiting for hubs to help me with new mac and external drive. {the new computer has no hard drive. well, a tiny bit.} when that happens, the wip posts will resume. hoping i can corner him sometime this week!shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09034776504000154862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701030.post-9053550861956569242014-01-14T21:56:00.000-06:002014-01-14T21:56:00.024-06:00ten on tuesday 1/14/14- i suck. last week really threw a weather fork in my plans. i was all out of sorts. and then last night, nick didn't play volleyball and amelia fell asleep at 630pm. i didn't know what to do! i will get on track.<br />
<br />
- just watched my first episode of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2372162/">orange is the new black</a>. obsessed.<br />
<br />
- ben wants to marry baby. so cute.<br />
<br />
- ben was 'playing' football in the house during one of the playoff games. he kept saying it was bears against peckers. ha! he meant packers.<br />
<br />
- purchased an add on item from amazon. it didn't ship with the rest of the order. so my order came in two packages. doesn't that defeat the purpose?<br />
<br />
- am grateful for my new iphone. thank goodness for warranties and husbands who took care of it. my battery was jumping from like 50% to 23% when i turned it on. i forgot what it was like to have a phone that held a charge!<br />
<br />
- nick did a home improvement project already this year! <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/offsite/?token=674-636&url=http%3A%2F%2Fraisingolives.com%2F2009%2F07%2Fraingutter-book-shelves-tutorial%2F&pin=130745195401619570">rain gutter bookshelf</a> next to ben's top bunk, so he didn't have to sleep with a million books in his bed.<br />
<br />
- i think my <a href="http://www.fitbit.com/">force</a> counts when i rock melie and when i play with her and raise my arms. i had almost 4,000 steps by 9am. i spent about 30-45 minutes rocking her last night... when she woke up at 2am after falling asleep at 630!<br />
<br />
- my coworker kills me. today she said the computer says i'm 'o-beast.' um, i think you mean obese.<br />
<br />
- i think this four day work week is going to kill me! haven't done it in like a month thanks to holidays and chiberia!shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09034776504000154862noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701030.post-54316725918963791922014-01-14T21:23:00.000-06:002014-01-20T11:24:13.139-06:00food for thought. more recipes!<a href="http://www.skinnytaste.com/2013/06/grilled-cilantro-lime-shrimp-kebabs.html">grilled cilantro lime shrimp</a>: was a big hit with the shrimp eaters. i'm not a huge shrimp fan. i did try a bite. the flavor was good. i just don't like the consistency of shrimp!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/07/asian-flank-steak-skewers-4-ww-pts.html">asian flank steak skewers</a>: so good. a bit salty. darn soy sauce. in the future, i'll be buying reduced sodium soy sauce. yes, i'm aware that makes me like 73. whatever. ;) but was a big hit. even with the non steak fans.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/04/crock-pot-buffalo-chicken-lettuce-wraps.html">crock pot buffalo chicken lettuce wraps</a>: yum. and make her dressing. i didn't go all fat free, just saying!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=1786036221&group=0&frame_type=a&blog=8209795&link=aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRwcm94eS5nb29nbGUuY29tL35yL015S2l0Y2hlbkNhZmUvfjMvRF9VNnI5NEtGZDQvYnJvY2NvbGktY2hlZXNlLWJhY29uLXNvdXAuaHRtbA&frame=1&click=0&user=0">broccoli cheese and bacon soup</a>: really good. i cheated and used precooked bacon. served it with pretzel rolls. yum. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.yellowblissroad.com/one-pot-creamy-chicken-noodles/">one pot creamy chicken and noodles</a>: meh. i added more noodles. about 2/3 of the box. still needs more flavor. will up the spices if i make it again. oh and the directions don't mention cubing the chicken first. i did...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.halfbakedharvest.com/thai-peanut-chicken-ramen-noodle-soup/">thai peanut chicken and ramen soup</a>: phew that's a mouthful. was yummy. weird ingredients, but i gave it a go. followed the recipe exactly. came out kinda stoupy. maybe only needs three packages of noodles? nick was a huge fan. yay! <br />
<br />
crock pot manicotti. no link. can't find it. make as usual and place in greased slow cooker. {some sauce on bottom and on top. cook on high for 2 hours.} was too rubbery for my liking. might as well put in the oven!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.alittletipsy.com/2011/02/super-bowl-recipes.html">salami/pepperoncini wraps</a>: did some whole peppers and some slices. they were tasty! a good addition to our usual ham and pickle wraps.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ohbiteit.com/2013/05/apple-pie-fries.html">apple pie fries</a>: mine did not look as cute as they do in the picture! added some cinnamon to the sugar sprinkle on top. got thumbs up from all that ate them, i didn't even try one!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shakebakeandparty.com/2013/09/23/drink-your-pie-caramel-apple-pie-cocktail/">caramel apple pie cocktail</a>: so good.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pineapple-upside-down-cake-in-a-glass/">pineapple upside down cocktail</a>: had these as a shot at a friend's house over the holiday. searched and found this recipe to make a drink so i could sip the deliciousness all night! we used vanilla vodka instead of the cake flavored one.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/5-ingredient-broccoli-cheese-soup/">5 ingredient broccoli cheese soup</a>: would have been better if it didn't curdle. that's what happens when you're trying to cook and take care of the kids! oh and i didn't measure chicken stock. just threw in two cans. and i used kraft finely shredded cheese.<br />
<br />

i suck.<br />
<br />
i'm hoping to kick blogging ass in january. well, maybe starting the sixth, not the first. we shall see. it's been beyond hectic with the holidays and nick's work and a four year old and five month old! as much as i love looking back on the blog, there are just some days when i want the two hours i get to myself before my bedtime, when i don't want it to be spent blogging. there is a husband, and tv shows or movies, and cleaning or baths and books that sometimes win out.<br />
<br />
so stay tuned. ;)shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09034776504000154862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701030.post-90075199473167493592013-12-17T21:53:00.000-06:002013-12-17T21:53:00.532-06:00ten on tuesday. 12.17.13- i am in love with this <a href="http://www.chapstick.com/products/hydration-lock?product=hydration-lock">chapstick</a>. that's saying a lot. i'm not a big 'chapstick' brand girl.<br />
<br />
- have a new favorite shot: pineapple juice, grenadine, and vanilla vodka. so good.<br />
<br />
- got a ten year present from work. didn't realize i received my coworker's. had the wrong engraving on the back. oopsie. guess i was super excited to open that <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad-air/">ipad air</a>!<br />
<br />
- ben is so excited for christmas. he's counting down the days now that we're in single digits!<br />
<br />
- think i need to start collecting gloves/mittens for ben. he lost one today. it was on mitten clips and he only walked outside to go to <a href="http://www.peeweesportsandfitness.com/about">pee wee sports</a>. not even for recess!<br />
<br />
- it was snowing this evening and my mom was going to finish her christmas shopping. showed her amazon. she was done in 5 minutes. and she said i'm her favorite daughter. {ha!} ;)<br />
<br />
- as much as i hate the craziness of december, i love that i'm getting to spend time with friends that i don't usually get to see. so thankful that everything fell on different weekends for the first time in years!<br />
<br />
- i need to purge my closet. again. just did it when melie was born. think i'm going to start a home organizing/cleaning project in the new year. seemed to work well when i did it a few years ago.<br />
<br />
- melie is starting to laugh spontaneously. so fun.<br />
<br />
- cookie exchange and pot luck at work today. why do people call it a carry in? any who. my taco dips were a hit. made two hoping to bring some home and they were both gone!shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09034776504000154862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701030.post-86810841068778716572013-12-16T20:46:00.002-06:002013-12-16T20:46:40.239-06:0020 things.love this. hope it's not too tiny. couldn't find a source. had to copy directly from pinterest. ;)

i'm not a fan of either photo. didn't have the patience to walk around and find good lighting. so i'm sharing two crappy pictures of three fabulous pieces of electronics. yay for the new mac book and iPad joining my trusty ole iPhone. {i've missed my macbook terribly and i'm super excited to play with the iPad!}shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09034776504000154862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701030.post-5293935203071688372013-12-10T21:29:00.001-06:002013-12-10T21:29:46.221-06:00ten on tuesday. 12.10.13- brr. i'm ready for spring.<br />
<br />
- pretty sure that my christmas cards are going to be valentine's day cards instead. ;)<br />
<br />
- after the giant blogging push, i have lost all motivation again. hopefully, soon!<br />
<br />
- i've been told that little miss amelia has to wear her tutu every bears game from here on out!<br />
<br />
- i think i only need to buy gift cards and i'm officially done with christmas shopping.<br />
<br />
- elfred hasn't visited this year. maybe he will still pop in? {ugh, i suck this year!}<br />
<br />
- forgot i had to walk through snow to get to work yesterday and wore my crocs. yeah, i'm a thinker at 650am!<br />
<br />
- i found a new addiction: <a href="http://www.emergenc.com/products#original-formula.pink">pink lemonade emergen c</a>. think i have a new something to add to our subscribe and save purchases each month!<br />
<br />
- ben is fighting the sniffles. hoping he holds em off and that melie stays strong too!<br />
<br />
- got a new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Super-Mario-3D-World-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B00DC7G0GG">mario game</a>. nick didn't even know about it. what kind of gamer is he? now to find the time to play it!shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09034776504000154862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701030.post-37991088699980431312013-12-09T19:19:00.000-06:002013-12-09T19:19:06.070-06:00bear down!they're ready. :) go bears!<br />

<br />
- got my posts out of order, chronologically, again. i suck. oh well.<br />
<br />
- got a new coat. hooray black friday sale. it's an omni-heat from columbia and it's super warm. which is saying a lot for me. i'm always cold. can never find a good coat.<br />
<br />
- cannot believe it is december. where has 2013 gone?<br />
<br />
- trying to figure out how to rearrange my living room for the darn tree! all this baby stuff makes it crowded!<br />
<br />
- i really dislike migraines. especially ones that last for 24+ hours.<br />
<br />
- really wanting to find time to go through all of the presents i've purchased and finish up my shopping!<br />
<br />
- looking forward to friend time this weekend.<br />
<br />
- i want to reread the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hunger-Games-Trilogy-Boxset/dp/0545626382">hunger games trilogy</a> again. feel like i forgot everything when we watched <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1951264/">catching fire</a>.<br />
<br />
- tried to not be a mac snob. but i am. i can't help it. i just prefer em over other computers.shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09034776504000154862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701030.post-89487584601050201452013-12-02T22:01:00.000-06:002013-12-02T22:01:00.332-06:00amelia marie: four months. ben's <a href="http://spressner.blogspot.com/2009/07/4-months.html">four month post</a>. <br />
<br />
<br />
- weighs 16.1 pounds! holy what?! and is 24.5 inches. <br />
- started laughing.<br />
- mastered rolling over.<br />
- wearing size 1 diapers. just til we run out. she should be in size 2s!<br />
- in 3-6 month clothing. <br />
- found her feet and loves them. like it's an obsession.<br />
- still blows bubbles like crazy.<br />
- taking 6oz of formula every 3-5 hours during the day.<br />
- sleeping from 9-630 every day!<br />
- is still a pretty chill baby.<br />
- loves holding your thumb.<br />
- fights napping... still.<br />
- likes to be sitting up. i think she's nosey.<br />
- isn't the biggest fan of standing, yet.<br />
- has the cutest inverted squeal. is that what it's called? ugh, i suck. <br />
<br />

nick had to go to work. my mom came to visit with ben. he complained to grandma that she only spends time with baby. that she leaves when he gets home.<br />
<br />
nick got back and we had visitors. had planned on making meyer's specials. it was raining and yucky. so we turned them into grilled versions on the stove. still super tasty.<br />

nick convinced dave to stay and watch <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0770828/">superman</a> with him. steph had to leave and do a thirtyone party thing. mike and ry had baby stuff to do. i tried to sleep on the floor. didn't really happen with miss sage running around. oh well. <br />
<br />
sunday:<br />
nick and ben ran out to target and jimmy john's. then the crazy storm rolled in and we spent some time in the basement. thankfully, we were okay and so was the house.<br />
<br />
came back upstairs and watched some football and ben and nick played with ben's new bow and arrow.<br />

once the kids were asleep we watched more football. totally should have switched to something that wasn't kid appropriate. it's funny how we forget. like when disney jr is on and the kids have been asleep for like an hour!

ran out super early. got a pedicure. {still searching for a good one.} picked up amelia's birth certificate. how did we forget about it?! was hoping to get home before our peapod delivery. it was supposed to come after 11. i got home at 1030 and my mom was putting it away!<br />

called it a night early. had a busy day planned.<br />
<br />
saturday:<br />
trip to michigan with the girls. we had talked about it at one of our girl's nights. completely forgot about it and then saw it on the calendar. we decided to give it a go. even if it was way last minute.<br />
<br />
val drove and shelli was copilot. raquel and i chilled in the backseat. shelli made us take the scenic route and pointed out the red and yellow trees. it was kind of late in the season so they weren't super plentiful. but still pretty. we passed aunt teek's. took me a minute to figure it out. they all had a good laugh on my behalf. <br />
<br />
shelli's shoes. only shelli would have a pin that told her what foot to wear what shoe.<br />

decided to try our this <a href="http://journeymandistillery.com/">distillery</a>. had made some friends when we were shopping in new buffalo. we ran into them at every shop. then joked about the fact that we were all planning on lunching at the stray dog. couldn't believe it when we sat down next to them! chatted with them about our plans for the rest of the day. joked about meeting them for dinner. actually ran into them again at round barn and they had mentioned that they stopped here. decided to give it a go. was on our way back home. <br />

<br />
thinking thanksgiving is an appropriate time to post.<br />
<br />
1. fridays off.<br />
2. a fabulous group of friends.<br />
3. lazy sundays to watch football and play outside.<br />
4. my mom. her babysitting, support, and friendship.<br />
5. a silly little boy who keeps me on my toes.<br />
6. a healthy baby girl who finally rolled over.<br />
7. caffeine. my coworkers enjoyed a super caffeinated shan today. coke and coffee before 10am!<br />
8. pedicures.<br />
9. laughter.<br />
10. back rubs from cute boys.<br />
11. our veterans and freedom.<br />
12. good health.<br />
13. bubble baths.<br />
14. amazingly supportive coworkers.<br />
15. loving hugs from my husband.<br />
16. quality time with friends i don't get to see often enough.<br />
17. a roof over my head.<br />
18. a positive meeting with ben's teacher.<br />
19. discount haircuts in our home.<br />
20. only having one car payment! <br />
21. a heated mattress pad. <br />
22. girl's night dinner dates with impromptu shopping trips after.<br />
23. a great extended family.<br />
24. technology. makes it so much easier to stay in touch. ;)<br />
25. patients and a job that teach me how important it is to value every day. <br />
26. christmas bonuses.<br />
27. light work days and pot lucks!<br />
28. my husband and my children. they are my world.<br />
29. days off with my loves.<br />
30. date night with a man who i love more than ever. twenty years laters and lots of ups and downs but there's no one i would rather have by my side.<br />
<br />
and then i saw this. and it's so true. sorry. no source.<br />

<br />
ben love the batman jumpie. <br />

<br />
- christmas shopping mostly done! woot. just a few people left and it's mostly gift cards.<br />
<br />
- looking forward to a four day weekend with my family. hoping nick doesn't get called out to work too much.<br />
<br />
- ben keeps asking about the christmas tree. he says, 'but i miss it.' soon son. soon.<br />
<br />
- amelia is now the owner of two new pairs of shoes. {i think they'll have their own post. i think ben's first pair did, so it's only fair.}<br />
<br />
- i did it. ordered some essential oils. didn't go too crazy. and didn't go with the super crazy expensive ones. those you can ingest. not sure i'm there yet!<br />
<br />
- <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2070427/?ref_=tt_cl_t1">ichabod crane</a> is hot. <br />
<br />
- told ben he was a good big brother. he said, 'no, i'm a small brother.' ;)<br />
<br />
- <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1229340/?ref_=nv_sr_1">this</a> cannot come out soon enough. hoping i'm not disappointed. <br />

our cute knight. he picked the costume. not sure where his breast plate was. i believe it got left at school. oh well. he's still cute. the problem was taking both swords that the costume came with and the shield and the arm guard. <br />

my mom stayed home with amelia and my dad. dad passed out candy and mom was in charge of melie!<br />
<br />
the weather wasn't too bad. maybe in the 50s and the rain started after we had been out for a while. really glad that our town didn't cancel and reschedule like a neighboring town did.<br />
<br />
ben was a champ this year. was super good about saying trick or treat and thank you. and was very independent. unless he couldn't reach a doorbell! at one point he even told me that he wasn't going home until his bag was full!<br />

had a busy morning. yay for retired grandmas! went to a derm appointment. then had an oil change. then did my grocery shopping. (i think this crazy day rekindled my love for peapod.)<br />
<br />
headed to dinner at a local sushi restaurant. i ate sushi. tried a bunch. that's major for me! no pictures. wasn't the most appetizing plate of food. oh well!<br />
<br />
laughed a lot at dinner. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKLnhuzh9uY">poo-pourri</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQeIDhz-_eg">dubstep</a> cat. {they are both youtube videos.}<br />

we couldn't get ben to use the stroller when he was the only child. of course, now he's obsessed with the darn thing. so grateful for girl friends who share theirs with us. not sure why we didn't think to take it with us. oh wait, because ben hates strollers. that's why!<br />

the kids were great. couldn't believe that noah ate like four pieces of pizza. they had a fun time playing after dinner. coloring and watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481499/">the croods</a> is a perfect way to spend the evening, right? <br />

nick took amelia upstairs and i stayed downstairs with the kids. didn't take too long for them to fall asleep. just had to each have their own pillow and own blanket. sharing wasn't happening! <br />
<br />
saturday:<br />
lazy morning. <br />
<br />
nick had to go to work in the afternoon and the kids and i just took it easy. so easy that i took like no photos! <br />
<br />
sunday:<br />
another rest day. i think we forgot to do with ourselves when nick is available. had been so crazy for so long! it's nice to just chill.<br />
<br />
someone helped me pass a level on candy crush. (he's helped twice. and i'm thinking of enlisting him for this *#&$% level that i've been stuck on forever. 305 sucks.)<br />
