As Kia so lovingly pointed out, I said posting would be light, not non-existent. I do apologize; it’s much harder to be a part-time blogger than I thought. It’s a way of life: either you’re in, or you’re out! At least, that’s the way it is for me – if I’m going to write, I want to read and comment as well! Time with one of my very best friends? Check.
Last Friday, I celebrated my 31st birthday. Jeremy was already out of town, so the girls and I were on our own. We baked some delicious oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (egg and corn free, of course).
Blythe enjoyed her very first cookie, ever. She liked it, but didn’t ask for more.
Quite the celebration, huh? Much, much different than my 21st birthday, one whole decade ago, when Jeremy took me to a bar and I got drunk on tequila shots until 2 am.
The next morning I took the plunge and left the kids for two whole days while I went down to San Bernardino to meet up with Jeremy, Rick and Natasha at the X Arm Premier Event.
(Sorry it’s blurry – those lights made my camera take fuzzy pictures for some reason. Also? Natasha gave me posing lessons! But I forgot to suck in my tummy. You can’t win them all.)
I’m working on my X Arm post, but it’s taking me a little while because there are eleventy-billion links, and apparently Quick Blogcast doesn’t like those, so it keeps freezing up on me. Gah!
After a weekend away with nothing but adult company and an adult agenda, I’m feeling a little nostalgic for my pre-kid days.
Much needed time with husband? Check.
Laughter, food and booze? Check, check and check.
A kick ass time? Check.
Any questions?

Yea, I have a question! Where the hell did you get that hot body after 2 kids!?
i have lots of questions….what is x arm ??? can you help me get in shape like you and your friend ???? rock on
I have many, many questions, most of which are either irrelevant or inappropriate.
So I’ll just focus on the fact that I’ve found the same thing about part-time blogging. And happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!!
And um, you look pretty darn good for having two kids. I don’t see much of a difference between the 23 year old ass and the 31 year old ass.
I’m with Dan…lots of questions! I’m assuming x arm is an arm wrestling competition? If so I’m sure you totally kicked that Rick guy’s ass.
Christina:
Dude, hard work and excellent genes! And having an athlete for a husband doesn’t hurt, either.
Feener: X Arm is the latest and greatest in sports – brand new, never-before seen. I’m working on the post about it! Also, YES, I can help you, if you’d like. I’ve thought about doing a fitness/nutrition series here but didn’t know if people would like it.
LiteralDan: Irrelevant and inappropriate are my middle names!
MGT: Oy, the 31 year old ass is a little further south, but thank you for not noticing!
Mike: Ask away! X Arm is a combination of arm wrestling, MMA, Kick Boxing and Boxing. Sound confusing? It is! But totally action packed confusion. I promise I’ll get the post up about it soon! And I think about the only person who can kick Rick’s ass is Natasha!
Thanks for the birthday wishes, y’all!
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day.
Your 31 yr old whole self looks GREAT. I’m not surprised that it’s Martial Arts!
My son is a KungFu instructor and this old lady only made it to White Sash! TaiChi is more my speed.
I also have a daughter named Allison.
Hmm…now that I’ve seen your 31-year-old self, I’m not sure we can be friends anymore… 😉 Kidding, of course! You all look great and I’m glad you had a good time reconnecting with hubs.
I just wish my 31 year-old ass looked like your 31 year-old ass.
I got the plates today! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!! My kitchen is chocolate brown, so they’re absolutely perfect! THank you sooooooooooo much!! Love em!!
Happy Birthday! Girl, you are rock hard. I want to work out with you!
who are you to make that comment?
His name is Mike, and he was totally kidding! Obviously.
