I'm not sure 2012 can get any more exciting than this

Well hello there, friends!

I am off to a great start by having done only one cop-out blog post thus far for 2012. I'm sorry for being such a slacker, but just remember that God forgives and so should you :)

To catch everyone up on the excitement that is my life, allow me to share some tidbits with you:

- As a reminder, the Scentsy giveaway ends tonight, Saturday, 1/7, at 11:59 pm! It's not too late to enter- and remember, no purchase is necessary!

- With that in mind, I also highly encourage you to go check out the online Scentsy party Allison & I are hosting for Kimmie and buy yourself (or someone else) something nice. My scent recommendations: "Central Park Pralines," "White Out" (smells like peppermint, not like the office supply, promise), and "Happy Birthday." Also, for the men in your life, "My Dear Watson" is great- especially in the scent circle that you hang in your car! (FYI: "Join party" just allows you to shop around- no obligatory e-mail sign-up or anything. You have until January 31st to make a purchase!)

- I spent the last week in San Francisco for work. By "in San Francisco," I mean that I was in a town about 40 miles away that wasn't nearly as fun and exciting as San Francisco. A few observations from my time in the obviously very "green" bay area:

    1. I'm pretty sure every household is required to own at least one Prius. If you're wondering why I would even notice this, then clearly you are not from Texas, where every household is required to own at least one gas-guzzling pick-up truck.
    2. They make throwing away trash very complicated. Each trash can has one hole for composting, one hole for recycling, and one hole for everything else. I was paralyzed with fear when trying to throw away my trash from lunch on the first day and had to ask a stranger to help me. Spesh.

Also, it's worth mentioning that I was in my pajamas and in bed at the hotel room every night by 7 pm. Some of you may call that lame. I call that the ideal vacation. And certainly preferable to the "excitement" I experienced on that work trip I took to New Orleans a few years back.

- After 5 days/4 nights away, I was very excited to be reunited with my husband, dogs, and bath tub! Brian picked me up at the airport last night around 11:30, and because we live in Egypt, we weren't home and in bed until 1 am.

As you can imagine, I was still very tired when I woke up this morning at 7:30 am and had to go to the bathroom. I knew I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep if I didn't, however, so I rolled out of bed and started my trek to the bathroom. I noticed that my leg was asleep, but in my sleepy stupor decided I would just limp my way there.

This was all fine and good until 3 steps later when my leg buckled and I ended up in a pile on the floor next to Brian's side of the bed. I cried out helplessly and thankfully he quickly came to my rescue. I really was impressed that he didn't laugh because I definitely looked like the "I've fallen and I can't get up!" lady from the Life Call commercials.

- Speaking of Brian, today we were talking about what blood types we each have (I know, our thrilling topics of conversation are the envy of all our married friends). I wondered out loud what blood type our future baby/babies would have, and do you want to know what Brian's response was?

"Unicorn blood."

I guess we just better hope that our children never require blood transfusions because they'd be out of luck.

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!
