Rain, Sleep, and Blogs

I love rainy days.  Does anyone remember the song “I’m Only Happy When It Rains” by Garbage?  Totally like 15 years ago.  Whenever it rains, I think of that song.  A bit random, I know. 

Any who…. So, lately I’ve been having a hard time sleeping- not that any of y’all care- but between pain in my foot/leg/hip/back and Scott rolling all night, I’m pretty much Sleepless in Birmingham.  My solutions: (1) get a new mattress (2) get a king size bed (3) take pain medicine before I sleep or (4) drink Nyquil.  I’m thinking a mixture of  #3 or #4 would be the best solution.

So out of boredom I decided to read some random blogs of people I don’t know.  This is what I’ve learned.
·         People are boring, incredibly boring.
·         Most “active” blogs are either about someone getting married, having a baby, obsessed with an animal, or that random weirdo who likes to blog about nothing at all (like myself)
·         A lot of blogs are like Pinterest, but with words
·         There is this thing lately where bloggers fill out a questionnaire to get more followers…not sure what that’s  all about.
·         The blogs with custom-made banners are normally the most active. 

I don’t think my finding will solve world peace, but it’s a start.

On a side note my beloved coworker, Beth, will be moving to greener pastures in 2 weeks.  While I’ll miss her perfectly put together outfits, talking about Brittany Spears and baby names, and dreaming of planning kids’ parties together, I know her decision to leave is the right one.  But don’t you worry people, she has a fabulous blog- full of Pinterest pictures, a custom made banner, make up, fashion, and all things southern:  http://ourmillerhighlife.blogspot.com/

Another Apology




Ahh …yesss. I know, I know, I owe y’all another apology for the lack of a blog post. My regrets, truly.  You would think I am the only person to blame for slacking off….however, in true Jorgenson fashion, I am never at fault, so I’m going to list all others who are at fault:
1. Scott. Ever since he graduated, he has been studying nonstop for the NAPLEX and law exam. Thankfully, he passed them and is now a licensed pharmacist!! Since he was studying nonstop, the house was a bit quiet. Also, I figure that now since I'm married, I need to stop blaming my Mom for everything, so Scott, naturally, is the next in line.  I should also welcome Scott to the real world- full of computers, bosses, short lunches, and 280 traffic at 5pm.  His 1st office consists of a cubical with 2 computer monitors and a lifetime of work.
2. Dr. Kirchner for operating on my foot. Its been a month and 4 days The foot is healing well, thank you. And I have a new appreciation for people with disabilities (minus those with dyslexia).
ouch
    3. My boss. I’ve been busy at work. You might want to reread what I just wrote because I’ll probably never write it again.
    4. The lack of crossfit combined with Scott starting the Transformation Challenge. When I don’t work out, I'm not myself, thus, no blog. Today was my first day back to Iron Tribe, hopefully I'll be back to brand new in a few weeks! Scott started the transformation challenge last week. They are charting how much stronger he gets in 40 days and the winner get a prize. This means he has to eat 99% Paleo-so I’m in the kitchen (attempting) to cook. I’m going on about 50/50 that the meal is eatable.
    5. My best friend, Katie Pauley. I've been busy hosting her a couples shower a few weekends ago and her Bachelorette party in 2 weeks. We're going to Hotlanta for her party... TeeTay (Taylor Vinson) and I have spent the better part of the last couple months planning it. I don't know what it is, but I love everything about wedding. Scratch that, I love everything about a party, regardless of the occasion.

    Compliments of TeeTay
    I can’t really use William as an excuse. He has been doing so many cute things that I could have blogged about. Ann sent me tons of photos of him in their pool. I may or may not have spent all day looking at them. He is a little pool rat (aka future Olympic swimmer).
    Wet shirt + butt cut
    Look at that chubby tummy.  So full of sugar I want to eat him up!
    Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful week and I give you my word that I'll post more often!

    4th of July 2012!

    Happy 4th of July!

    This is one of my favorite holidays.  Not only do we get to celebrate America’s independence, but also you get to enjoy a day off work to cook out, eat apple pie, and watch fireworks!! What more could someone ask for?  For over 20 years, every 4th of July my family would fly up to North Dakota to have a family reunion and celebrate my grandfather’s (Boppy) birthday.  Ever since Boppy got sick and passed, we haven’t done this, which always makes me a bit sad on July 4th because I remember all the fun memories I had as a kid- fishing, tubing, jet skiing, eating burgers, and taking pontoon rides.  I cannot wait to re-start the family reunion soon!  

    This July 4th, Scott will be studying for his Alabama Pharmacy Law test, which will be on Thursday, and I will be participating in the neighborhood’s Apple Pie Contest.  I know you’re jealous of our exciting plans!  In true Jane fashion, I have found a lope hole in the Apple Pie Contest rules and will be actually entering Scott’s grandfather’s (Papoose) pie.  He is an expert pie maker-his recipe is even a Leonelli family secret recipe!  I already know we’ll win.

    Also this Thursday, I go to the orthopedic surgeon and get my foot cast removed!!!  Doc said, depending on the healing, he’ll probably put me in a walking boot.  One step closer to wearing normal shoes!

    I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL and safe 4th of July.  Can’t wait to see everyone’s pictures of being on the lake, eating corn on the cob, and enjoying fireworks!
