i just couldn’t help myself

Happy Election Day Tuesday! If you’re in the US, did you vote today?

I got my vote on at M’s future elementary school. It felt good to vote. However, I would prefer not to have to step in that building until absolutely necessary. It’s a nice school. I just don’t like having to go there and be reminded of my baby walking those halls in a few short years. I almost couldn’t help myself and gave in to teary eyed emotions. Almost. I did give in to other things today, though.

Case in point numero uno. M’s smile. I headed to the store to pick up some storage bins for all the organizing I have to do before baby B’s arrival. Somehow (aka M pulled out the smile), I ended up leaving with a My First Bible book.

She has now forgotten about it and it is stashed away for a Christmas present.

I couldn’t help myself from a few of these little suckers after lunch either.

They call to me. Tiiinnaaa. Tiiiinnnnnnaaaaa. Tiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaa! What? Your candy doesn’t talk? Just imagine the many other inanimate objects that I would hear if I didn’t have this blog as an outlet. Scary.

I also spent a good chunk of time debating the FitBloggin’ 2011 Conference today. I have already determined I will be attending at least one blog conference sometime in 2011. My number one choice is the Healthy Living Summitt, if they have another. Then, I would also love to attend either FitBloggin’ or BlogHer. I don’t want to miss out on tickets to a good one, which is where the debate enters. Do I register or no?

So what did I do? I sent Peter a fake out Google Chat saying I registered to gauge his reaction. I couldn’t help myself!

Hehe. That was fun. And for the record, he’s cool with me going to one. I just have to figure out which one would suit me best. Fitbloggin is $50 more/ticket, but is closer (in Baltimore). But baby B will only be 4 months old for that one. BlogHer is less per ticket and baby B will be older, but it is all the way out in San Diego. HLS – no clue! Has anyone heard anything about one coming in 2011?

Now, I must finish out the night doing something else I just can’t help doing. Watching The Biggest Loser. It really isn’t that great anymore, but my sister and I still watch. It’s so hard to break that tradition of our weekly sister dates. I find I can’t stop watching Desperate Housewives or Grey’s Anatomy either. I guess I refuse to give up my mindless hour each day.

  • Have you ever been to a blog conference? Which one(s) and did you enjoy it? Are you planning on attending one next year?
  • What things do you easily get sucked into? Halloween candy? Junk TV?
  • Don’t forget to ASK ME ANYTHING for this month’s Q + A series! Next one coming your way tomorrow.
