When did I get so old?

Here it is, 10 p.m. on a Friday night and I'm ready to crash. I feel like I can barely keep my eyes open anymore. And I can't even blame it on the fact that I'm up in the middle of the night, because Austin has slept through until 5:30ish the last two nights in a row. So I'm getting more sleep now than I have in about 8 or 9 months (adding in the last few months when I was pregnant and couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep well.)

I guess I just have to face it....I'm old. Pretty sad, I know.

So, g'night.

My little secret

I have a secret to share, which, I'm sure, will cause many people to gasp in horror, shake their heads and/or laugh. I don't like Halloween. There I said it.

I like it a little more now that we live in our own house and I can give out candy to all the kids in the neighbourhood. That I like. And decorating the front deck is kind of fun too now that we have this wicked fog machine that Ryan puts under the deck. Pair that with the scary sounds CD we have and it's pretty spooky.

But what I don't like about Halloween is what's supposed to be the best part -- I don't like dressing up. Mainly, because I'm as creative as a doorknob when it comes to costumes. And I always feel like there's so much pressure to come up with a good costume. In fact, the last time that I really dressed up for Halloween I was in University.

But now I have to come up with a good costume (this year, and for many years to come) because Austin can't get by with the same apathetic attitude towards Halloween that I have. He needs a costume. And he needs to look good. So here's how I'm going to solve my creativity problem -- anyone know which stores sell good kids costumes?

And as for my costume this year, well I'll probably do what I do on most years that I need a costume -- throw something together at the last minute.

P.S. On a completely unrelated topic, today is the first day in a long, long time that I remember feeling truly rested. And that's because Austin finally slept through the night last night! He was up at just before 6 to eat and then went back to sleep until 8. Here's hoping that there's more nights like this to come.

Just a thought

My friend Sara (no h) suggested to me on numerous occassions that I start blogging. I'm not quite sure just how much spare time she thinks I have, but I figured, what the hell, it's worth a try.

Although, I must admit, I haven't yet figured out whether I will use my spare time to write about randomness around me or whether I will use it to update friends and family about Austin.

I guess I'll just wait and see where it takes me.
