What up

So I've mostly been writing about Libby...a lot! I know, I guess this is turning into a Baby Blog but I can't help it! She pretty much is mostly what I think about these days, and she's a lot more fun than the state of our economy or government! I try not to stick my head in the sand but besides listen to my beloved Rush Limbaugh, I haven't been keeping up with things too much. I've been trying to get through the same book for the last month, but when it's time for bed I'm ready to sleep! However, last night after the Libster went down, Tim and I stayed up and watched 24 and Dancing with the Stars on my computer. It was so much fun!! And you'll never guess but I was the one who wanted to watch 24 and he was the one who voted for DWTS!!!! 'Tis true!! We really enjoyed it too. I guess I should disclose the reason he wanted so badly to watch couples twirl around (and I'm sure it had nothing to do with those beautiful "dresses" the girls wear -- rant -- but excuse me! When did wearing one leg of hose stretched across your body with a few strategically placed sparkles suffice for an outfit?! I thought that was supposed to be a "Family" show!!! -- rant complete)
Anywhoo, guess who is one of the stars this year?! Yes, one of Tim's heroes: Ty Murray!! Ty was a bullrider and was seriously one of, if not the best ever. It was really fun to watch a "goshdarnit" sweet cowboy on tv. And it was hil-ar-ious watching him try to dance!!! Our favorite quote: "I see it like bullriding, you never are ready, it just becomes your turn" LOLOLOL!!! We loved that!! Needless to say, the poor boy was as stiff as a board. I don't think he'll last too long!! It was interesting to watch for sure! Totally worth staying up until midnight!
And then 24, one of our favorite shows that has really seemed to have jumped the shark. I am having a hard time believing a few frogmen wearing camo and dragging several hundred pounds of ammo and gear could swim up the Potamic and simply walk into the White House. I was there over the summer and I'm sorry, there is noooo way that could happen!! Anyway, still, I was so very upset that they killed Bill!! They've killed so many of the best characters that I really don't see how this show is going to be able to come back for another season. Although I must say that the end was slightly more interesting, I don't think we'll be able to give it up quite yet.
One other thing, I've been growing more and more concerned with all of the chemicals in our lives so little by little I'm trying to change how we eat and clean, both ourselves and our house. So yesterday I ordered some Dr. Bronner's soaps and I can't wait to try them out! A big inspiration for all of this is my friend Alison's website. She has devoted a lot of research to living healthfully and she generously shares it with us on her blog. She is a terrific girl and I am soo thrilled that we're going to be bridesmaids together in August for our friend Susan's wedding! Which reminds me, I still need to lose a few more "Libby Lbs"!! Better get cracking on that!
Have a great day! Enjoy your warm Texas weather, my friends, I will be down there in about a month!!! XOXO
