So my New Year's Resolution is to try to do a better job of keeping up this blog, especially since I'm expecting to have a lot to blog about in the coming months. Seeing as it has taken me about 4 months to start my "Resolution '09" you can obviously see that a lot has been going on in in the 'burbs this year. The title of this update refers to the fact that Darren and I have now officially entered so far into Suburbia that I think there's no turning back. We're having a baby! In addition to the manicured lawn and two-car garage we will now be going through the process of turning Darren's "man-space" office into a nursery for IT in the next couple of months.
*Note I will be calling the baby "IT" until the sex is known (or until I lose the habit of calling it IT)*
He's not very happy about having a change in his workspace and we're still not sure exactly where all of his gear is going to end up. But I know one thing for sure! Slammerhead the Hammerhead is going far, far away. For those of you who have never met Slammerhead, he is the 10 ft Hammerhead shark that Darren caught off the coast in Ft. Lauderdale and has mounted on our office wall. I think it's hideous. Darren thinks it's the creme de la creme of ultimate man-decorating. At this point the whole issue resides in strategy on my part. Saving up all of those "Honey won't you go get me Taco Bell" and late-night Macaroni 'n' Cheese runs for my ultimate goal: getting rid of the Slam. I think in the end I can march through some righteous cravings as long as I keep my eye on the prize. (And also secretly hoping that IT is a girl so there's no excuse to sell the monster to the local Red Lobster)
P.S. That picture is the only one on record that shows the magnitude of Slam's ugliness...just imagine.
