Touching Base Tuesday

I had a wonderful time this weekend. After an awful hour stuck going 5 mph through Chicago, I had dinner with my online friends on Friday at a Mexican place, the waiter we had was horrible, but it was still a good time. Saturday I helped set up some stuff and scrapped all day. I often get told I am very quiet in person. I have a hard time with small talk, but I am working on it. I didn't get a whole lot done, I was hoping to have some photos of the layouts I did, but my husband has my camera somewhere. I had a much better drive home, but I was really tired. I am not used to staying up past midnight. I didn't sleep very well either, I think I have become used to sleeping with Peanut Butter laying on half my body.
In honor of Biggest Loser being on tonight, I would like to say, "Hi, my name is Robyn and I am a sugar addict." I have had a few vices in my life: alcohol, cigarettes, diet coke, now that I have given all of them up, I have now turned to sugar. Cookies, peeps, licorice, ice cream, if  desperate enough, I am sure I would have no problem eating  plain brown sugar. This would be all well and good, sort of, if I would also get off my lazy ass. I have been putting in some miles walking, but Jillian would be so disappointed in the way I have been ignoring her. I am disappointed in how I've been ignoring her. I even overslept today and missed one of the classes I like at the Y. Sigh, I will get back on track one of these days.
I got a pair of contacts today and remember why I was wearing my glasses. We'll have to see how it goes. I also had my car's alignment done today. I hate bringing my car in to get fixed, since they usually find something else wrong with it, but thankfully there wasn't anything today.
Does anyone else have a chatterbox for a child. Peanut Butter does NOT stop talking. We are also in the wonderful "why?" and "what is _____ doing?" phase; it is driving me down the crazy stairs. Today I got my first taste of " I no love you Mama." Ah keep the good times rolling, though I can't complain she was all kissy this morning and kept shoving J away when he was trying to give me a good bye kiss.
Baseball has begun to suck every minute of my husbands time away and it is only March. It is going to be a long summer. 
I am looking at doing some sort of garden this summer, hopefully one PB and I can work at. I think I am going to get this book, Gardening with Children and see what we can do. I already have a very neat idea for a strawberry planter thing from another book. 
I think that catches me back up to an extent.

Yes, I have quite the chatter box too! And he is totally asking "why" and "what" about everything!
I'm pretty quiet in person too. Unless I REALLY know people!
Sugar.......it brings me down too! You are not alone:)

I am so glad you had such a good time and that you were able to get some pages done - I look forward to seeing them!

And do you know I just had a similar thought about vices? I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't drink soda . . . sweets are about the only thing left!

And oh, the talking! And the asking of "Why?" OMG. At least a dozen times a day I wish I had a pair of earplugs. I sometimes think the only reason I am caught up on my laundry is because I do to the laundry room alone and sneak in 3 minutes of peace and quiet.

I hadn't been to the gym in over a week. At least I was doing some running outside, but I felt "mooshy" from not doing strength. I finally made it today and it felt good, although I feel weaker already.

Imagine 3 chatterboxes! That's my predicament.

I have a problem with talking too much.
Sometimes I wish that I was more quiet.
