Potty Training Complete!!!!

The last weekend of May I put Xander through a "crash" course in potty training. I was determined to have him potty trained before he was 3. While I waited until the last minute, he came out of it much better than when he went in. However; he was still having accidents so I hesitated to get to excited. I am happy to report that the past week there have been no accidents in the pants, or on the couch or in the bed, in the car seat..etc...etc...! I never thought I would be so happy to see turds in the toilet.

This coming Tuesday will be my final day of spring classes. I am not ashamed to say that I really don't care what my final grade is so long as I don't fail......this math (if quantitative reasoning should even be called a math :P) class is so completely asinine and drawn out much longer than needed.

My summer ceramics class will start a week after my spring final (i'm taking requests for vases and ashtrays:P). Xander will start a tumbling/gymnastics class in July (hopefully) and in August we will be going to North Carolina.....I can't wait for that trip. It will be nice to get away and just enjoy the company and scenery.

Throw in some photo gigs, trying to plan a visit to Ky, planting some flowers and that is what this summer is adding up to be.


*more pics in photobucket of course:)

Xander is 3!!!!

We had Xander's birthday celebration today. He made out like a bandit as usual. Cars, trains, sand boxes (yep, he got two), sand, transformers, clothes, bubble makers and even a kite. He loved playing with Taylor, wearing himself out every nite. He loves it, as do I, when we all get together. Even though we are all usually exhausted by the end of it all.

Thanks to Aunt Mitzi and JC we had delicious burgers. Uncle JD put together the sand box and played with the transformers. Auntie Miha provided plenty of sand for the sand boxes. Tony, Mitzi,Taylor, JC and I attempted to fly a kite.......with no wind it didn't work out so well. Aunt Sissy joined us as well, but I'm not sure what she was doing throughout the day. Oh that's right, she kept Poppy entertained with her girly stories......

Now it's late, and we are both tired.

^&*#@!!!#&%$@#@#!!!

My computer finally died.....a quick, beeping, smoking, sputtering death. I'm sad, but mostly REALLY frustrated. Of course I can barely find the lightswitch in the office so the unit was taken to someone who might possibly be able to fix it....since I have a tendancy to exaggerate when I get frustrated said person has agreed to take a look at it before it's trashed.
Either way I must have a new computer and soon. Even if the old one is salvagable it's to slow for my photo stuff. Plus I want CS2 and a laptop..:P


Xander is a turkey as usual. Talking more everyday, and singing too! He stole the stage at the Greek Festival we went to over the weekend. I'll post pics when I get my computer back. It was hilarious! His birthday is next week. I can't believe he'll be 3. They really do grow up to quickly.

Not much else is going on. I've done a few photo gigs and am booked for a couple more, so hopefully the working trend will continue. I'm not going to go into the details of my recent hair coloring nor will I scare you with the happenings at my latest laser hair removal appointment......because not only is that boring to anyone but me, but it's gross too.

Ah yes.....my life is so exciting:P
