I haven’t felt like writing anything lately. Call it lack of time or lack of creative juices but whatever you call it. . . it just hasn’t happened. It seems like I had more time to sit down and write when I was working. I worked on a computer most of the day so that made it a whole lot easier. Now I feel like I always need to be doing something. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I’ve been picking my nephew up from school and we’ve been hanging out. Monday I had both nephews, Aidan and Will, and I’m pretty sure they were each in their own ways trying to talk me out of ever having kids. Within 20 minutes of being at my house, Will had already put his juice cup in the toilet and pulled everything out of the wall outlets. Then adding Aidan (who wants to do EVERYTHING himself) to the mix of things. . . well, it just made for an exhausting day. I don’t know if I’ll be doing that again any time soon!

Last weekend we went to the shooting range with Kevin’s friend Jon and Jon’s dad. We had a total of 5 guns that we were able to “try out”. It was loud. I got burned by a shell on my chest and still have the marks to prove it. I really hope the marks go away soon, because it’s not exactly a place I’d like them to be. It doesn’t help in making me feel very attractive, if you know what I mean. Those little things are hot. We plan to buy a gun soon, so it was nice to be able to test a couple and see what we liked best. To me, they were all just loud and heavy though. Apparently I’ve never really been taught the right way to wear ear plugs either, so according to Jon it was probably much louder for me than it was for them. Maybe next time will be better! I was happy to actually get a couple shots on target though.

Lots of other stuff going on but I’m headed to the gym. So that will have to come later!
