It's been so damn long since I've had internet that I've all but forgotten about LJ. Not like I updated it much before anyway.

Anyway, not much is new, except we have internet (yay), but I'm not able to get on much. Two year olds are so much fun.

Yeah, I should go upload some crap to my DA page or something...yeah.

Wheee.

Rules
1. Write your LJ username.
2. Write your two favorite bands/groups at the moment (not overall, just currently).
3. Write something you love. Ex. I ♥ food. Just to see how you draw your hearts.
4. Write the name of your favorite person of all time.
5. Write down a recently favored person.
6. Tag 5 people to do this meme.

I have internet now...that is all.

We're getting internet. Should have it hooked up by Friday.

Yays.

So today's my birthday. I'm 30. Wow.

Earlier today, Jeff and I were out in the living room watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Timothy was back in his room, pulling things off shelves and making a mess. Suddenly, I hear Timothy whining, which usually means he can't get to something that he just has to have (like his trash can). So, I go back into his room to see what he wants. I look, and I find him trying to climb into his wagon of Mega-blocks. Of course, this is the funniest thing ever (what isn't funny with a 14 month old?), so I call Jeff to come look. Then, I notice that something seems to be missing. "Timothy? Where's your diaper?"

That's right. My son has learned to remove his diaper. Who knows how long he'd been crawling around naked. I hope he didn't pee in his blocks.

I wish one of my teachers had been a supervillian, even if it was staged.

I went rollerskating on Saturday.

That's right...rollerskating. On the old quad-style skate, not on rollerblades. Jeff and I went to Pigeon Forge for our 2nd anniversary, and I decided that we should go to the Spin City skate place. It was so much fun, but now my legs hurt like crazy.

Jeff also taught me how to play pool. Now I want a pool table, but there's no way we'd have anywhere to put it in our house.

I didn't really get many pictures taken; I just took some of the cabin and around it.
