Vacation is so close, I can taste it. After a very spirited playdate with Ya-Ya (Olivia) this morning, I&#8217;m relieved Charlie is finally down for a nap. She was a major pill, very territorial today and absolutely unwilling to share. Between her attitude, cleaning up messes (babies and cats), and trying to finish packing for all 3 girls in this house, I am pooped.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but I was unable to score us tickets to the &#8220;Glee&#8221; live tour this morning. The presale tickets sold out within minutes. Then, when I was attempting to backup my Itunes library, I erased the whole thing, which sent me into a moment of sheer panic. Luckily, it looks like when I plugged it back in, my purchased songs where still there. Thank the Lord, because you know 211 songs x $1.29 a song = a very unhappy husband.<\/p>\n<p>Last night we had ice cream cake with Charlie to celebrate my 32nd birthday, which isn&#8217;t actually until the 11th, but you know we Bischoff&#8217;s like to stretch these things out. No big party this year&#8230;I&#8217;m afraid my 4 month old took center stage this time. Poor Vann, he really gets confused when it comes to gifts for me. Gifts is in fact my love language, which means that I love to give (and receive) gifts. I especially love it when people put real thought into things, and I love it when I&#8217;ve put real thought into a gift and the person I&#8217;m giving it to loves it. It&#8217;s how I show those important to me that I love them!<\/p>\n<p>I have been blessed with some awesome gifts from my sweet husband this year, material and not, so I am not ungrateful for the small things. Between my training sessions with Tamme and our upcoming massages I know I should be set for a couple years, but I have to admit I&#8217;m longing for another pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lululemon.com\/\">Lululemon<\/a> &#8220;groove&#8221; pants. I&#8217;ve bought a new pair every year around this time and I&#8217;ve been living in them lately. So comfortable and easy. We&#8217;ll see if a little shopping might be in my immediate future. It&#8217;s been awhile since I&#8217;ve bought anything for myself that doesn&#8217;t involve pregnancy and\/or getting back in shape, so I&#8217;m anxious for a little &#8220;newness&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Probably won&#8217;t be blogging for a bit&#8230;please pray that Ella and I have a safe flight to Texas tomorrow and for Charlie and Vann&#8217;s drive to meet his parents on Sunday. Also pray that the girls have a ball (and you know they will!) and Vann and I have a relaxing reprieve in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>See ya!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S5Ft04vfXYI\/AAAAAAAAE-o\/QrqWJCvRsZ8\/s1600-h\/3-5-2010%2B009.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445254179819838850\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/3-5-2010-009.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S5Ft0fXjQnI\/AAAAAAAAE-g\/mkdFmwiYQr8\/s1600-h\/3-5-2010%2B017.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445254173008544370\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 221px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/3-5-2010-017.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, man, I am counting the seconds until my flight tomorrow.
