A serious case of the BLAHs.

You know when you are having one of those days ... well I'm having one of those weeks (yes plural ... weeks). It seems Mike and I have had one thing after another lately and it's just becoming overwhelming at times. I'm sitting here at work feeling just very BLAH. There is no other word to describe it. Just BLAH. So in an effort to rid myself of the BLAHs, I'm going to think of things I'm excited about:

• Going to Orlando next month. I'm excited to go on vacation as it feels like forever since we went on a real vacation. I'm excited (and nervous and quite frankly a little stressed already) for Colin to fly for the first time. I'm excited to not work for an entire week (!!!) I'm excited to escape winter and go somewhere warm. I'm excited about eating myself some Firehouse Subs. I'm excited to take Colin to Disney.
• About seeing Angela next month. Yes that goes hand in hand with the above item but its worth mentioning separately because I'm that excited. This is the longest her and I have gone without seeing each other and I miss her desperately. I'm excited to hopefully meet "The Boy" and more excited for her to meet "My Boy." Corny but I totally just teared up thinking about that.
• Going to Tampa next month. I love Tampa. I don't know what it is about that city but I love it. I'm excited to see Nathan and Erika and have them meet Colin as well. I'm excited about taking Colin to Clearwater. I picture Colin walking barefoot in the sand as he holds me and Mike's hand. I know exactly how to get to a Firehouse Sub although we haven't been to Tampa since May 2007. We will eat there although it's nowhere near where we need to be. We will pass Legends Field on the way, which will start a talk on baseball and our wish for springtime.
• Christmas! I'm excited for Colin's first Christmas. I'm excited to start our own family traditions. I can't wait to see Colin open his presents to see the look on his face as he tears the paper and plays with his new stuff. I'm excited to spend time with family and friends. I'm loving the Christmas music, decorations and smells. I can't wait to do more Christmas baking and be able to get more into the Christmas Spirit.
• Colin's Birthday! Truthfully this one is a little bittersweet. The thought that my baby is going to be 1 is shocking and a little sad. I am excited though. I'm excited to plan his party. I'm exited for family and friends to all come together for his party. I'm thrilled and grateful that Mark and Missy are able to come to Michigan for it. I love how much they love him and are willing and able to fly in for it. I can't wait for them to spend time with him again.

I should probably get back to doing some actual work now. Buh bye BLAHS.
