bird, bird, bird, bird is the word

so izzy is learning a lot of new words lately, and it's so neat to hear what she's picked up. i keep reminding pete to be careful about what we say around her, because i am afraid (and excited) for one of those inappropriate moments with inappropriate words.

so here is what she is talking a lot about these days:

bird
bear
plane
train (with the sound tukka-tukka-tukka-tukka-choo-choo)
cereal
juice
apple (almost all fruits are apples for some reason)
mame (eda mame)
nana (banana)
dog or pup-pa
kitty
spider (said in the deepest new jersey accent ever)
bubbles
baby
duck
water (also said in a new jersey accent)
sun
moon
star
snowman
jump
*a whole slew of other words but check out this next one
and...

hot caulk (but not really the second word. think male chicken, but not rooster.)

she means to say hot dog, but it is definitely not coming out right. i don't want people to think we are pervs and allowing izzy to see/say/hear perverted things. i keep trying to correct her, but it keeps coming out wrong. she had a hot dog last week at costco and thinks they are taste-a-rific, so this is one of her things she likes to say. ai yi yi...

anyhoo, let's hope that she doesn't talk about this processed meat product at a church meeting or something like that.

only if...

...i can tone my tummy and thighs some more...

...if my bunnyhead gets a super sweet (well-paid) internship this summer...

then, i might want to splurge on these bathing suits. seen on anthropologie.

already behind

yeah, yeah. so it's the 7th of the month already, and i didn't post my resolutions. who's judging me, but me right?

so here they are. now you can tell me what i am lacking on throughout the year.

A lot of these will be repeats from last year, since I either did not do them or am still working to acheive them.

1. Write more letters

2. Eat more organic or locally-grown foods. Plant a (really) mini garden for some fresh herbs or veggies.

3. Sew something for Izzy.

4. Share the gospel.

5. Work on toning up and strengthening. Muffin tops are so 2009.

6. Be more charitable or volunteer more.

7. Have more dates with my husband.

8. Donate or better organize my belongings. (I get anxious about this all the time.)

9. Get cracking on geneaology. My mom and dad's side are going to be super hard, since both are from places that are not well-known for written records.

10. Hang out with friends more. Sometimes I can be too much of a hermit.
