are you there blog? it's me, abby.

i have not blogged in forever....first slow internet, then no internet...but now i have fast internet AND insomnia, so bring on the late night pecks at the keyboard against the soft glow the computer screen while i listened to my hubby and baby snore in the background. livin the dream.

how about a bulleted list of quick updates:

• Charley is 15 months going on 13..she rolls her eyes at me and throws tantrums with every "no" i utter.
• I spend my spare time looking into good boarding schools for girls.
• Gary will soon be off every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
• I spend my spare time looking into good marriage counselors. ;)
• No move on the house yet. We have found a place in Mt. Sterling that we like but we are just waiting on SOMEONE/ANYONE to show remote interest in our home. I am one more month away from going door to door in random apartment buildings asking people if they are ready to get out of apartment life and move up to trailer park life....
• gary, charley and i were blessed with a vacay in destin with the lee fam....it was a blast...pics are on facebook.
• school starts in a few weeks and i didn't even scrape the surface on my reading list, take my GRE, which led to me not taking a single summer school class, i didn't lose an ounce of weight that i swore i would.....i can't decide if summer went too fast for if i just wasted a lot of time...
• most recently, i have lost my contact in my eye --- excuse me for a bit---------

alright - now that we are squared away.... i will leave you with this...my next purchase....as is the first thing i do tomorrow when i wake up....
ladies and gentlemen....i give you a blend of something i love and something i should love a heck of a lot more than what i do.....
THE FITFLOP.... www.fitflop.com
it seems as if the angels themselves have conspired together to create a shoe just for abby adams thomas. many are aware of my affection for the flip flop, but now there is the lil magic shoe called the fitflop that is quote, "biochemically enginered" to tone your legs when you walk. it is like the hybrid car of footwear...it is both comfy and good for you. the fitflop, somehow in its infinite magical wonder, allows you to get a workout as you walk around....that's it...put the lil sucker on and walk.....how cool is that....i'm sold. i'm in. running shoes? no thank you. i've got my flops. i will express mail a pair and keep you posted.
in the meantime, dear jesus thank you for giving me the fitflop. could you please turn your attention to ice cream that burns calories as you eat it? just wondering. when you get time. after world peace, maybe? thanks. hugs and amen, abby.
