SIGHH ahh that felt so good. I just got done reading every blog on christi's list and i am depressed. so many people have so much intelligent funny stuff to say and i am bored with my blog. one girl said something to the effect of screw the pandas, they havent learned to adapt yet, so they can just die off. another is depressed with pregnancy. another is homeschooling. dudes are spewing off intelligencies of politics and all these human rights issues, which i definitely have major opinions about - I LOVE TO OPINE- but am just way to lazy to put it out on my blog. OR maybe i am a people pleaser and dont want to disagree with anyone or have anyone disagree with me, which is wimpy and lame. wow i am just so different. i feel like no one knows what makes me tick. weird place to be. it is like i have SOMETHING In common with EVERYONE because i have tried all kinds of crazy stuff and been all over the world. i travel, i am cultured, i speak languages , i come across as pretentious when really that is not my intention, because i really have skied the swiss alps, and did see the most beautiful tulips at Keukenhoff, and did drink espressos off of little outside kiosks in venice. And when you comment, I will be puzzled about WHY you chose to comment on what you did, and not on something else that i thought was way more poignant.
On a lighter more airheady note, i worked out today. my calves are kiling me from the circuit. it is a good pain though. Tomorrow i am going to a mothers day tea at blakes school. i am literally counting the minutes. Love these babies. Julia brought home a mothers day gift bag from preschool with all kinds of goodies she had made me. my favorite was a little laminated card that her teacher had filled out. it went like this
Dear Mom, you re special because____________
(and she had told the teacher to put) You always tuck me in to my covers
My favorite thing about you is______________
You take me to my friend's houses
Thank you for ________________

Ah ha! So you're cleaning her room while she's away, eh? I knew it! That is sweet. I guess if I homeschool, I'll have to send TJ somewhere at least every now and then so he can make me cool stuff like that, eh? I bet Blake is SOOOO excited that you are coming to his school!
When you said what you said, I thought, "Hmmm, I really don't know what makes Gina tick." I mean, I know your kids and Wes take number one precidence, but other than that, I don't know much about your views on things. I know God is very important, and you voted against me (and we'll just leave it at that!). I know you are very supportive of the public school system your child, and soon to be children, is in, and that you are in no way interested in changing that. I know that you want to be a nurse, and one day I hope you are the best nurse in the world. That leads me to think that you have a much higher threshold for blood and mess than I do. I know you love your dog, and I can't stand dogs (even though I do really like Colin, he's so lovable!), but you also at least used to like cats, and I was totally down with that! I know you are a better server than I, or at least were when we worked together. I know that you can really keep a marriage together, and that I strive to make ours similar to you and Wesley's. However, I also know I didn't have the fortune of finding someone like him, so I really can't do what you do to make it work. I know that you're a great mom, and you have awesome kids. I remember Blake being the first tiny baby I ever held (in memory, that is), and you guys totally freaked me out with that. I know that b/c of that, you helped to make sure that I did not have kids or even think of having kids before I was ready. THANK YOU, and thank Blake for freaking me out for being so little and fragile!!! I know that you are such a giving and sweet person. I know that you are SOOOO sweet that you had a baby shower for me, and have totally opened up and helped me out in my sudden switch to SAHM. I know that you hate returning phone calls and making them period, just as much as I do. I know that once you're on there, you just want to get off, just like I do! Hmmmm, I'm sure that's not it, but gee, I don't know anything about you!
I do know that you have lots of interesting stuff to talk about. I don't think your blog is boring at all. I sometimes think that about mine, too. However, you must keep in mind that it's YOUR blog. Just put what's on your mind down, and if people don't want to read it, so what. I like the whole feeling of just being able to write down my life, and keep it journaled, and the fact that I actually like to do it on the computer. I like that I can just read about other people's lives, and that they aren't always traveling the world and such. It makes me feel almost normal. Keep on keeping on, and don't worry. We'll be back no matter what!

Gina, this is my favorite of your blog entries. I love it when you are transparent. I don't think your blog is boring either. Sometimes I think mine is because I say too much. Sometimes I read other people's and think that they are such good writers, and it's human nature to compare ourselves.
Please, tell us about your travels. I had no idea! I'd also love to hear your views on things. If I disagree with you I'll still love you!

seriously, you guys dont know the half our transparent-ness. we are wide open books . lol.
thanks for the props. love ya too.
by traveling, we lived in germany growing up (for ten years) and went all over europe. I loved it so much. my favorites were yugoslavia, london, paris, berlin. then my parents lived in italy when blake was born, so we went there when he was 10 mos old. i love italy so much. i am always begging wesley to try to find something there- HA as if!! but wouldnt that be cool? i struggle with "is this it for us?" south carolina? there is such a big bad fun world out there.
I also take a trip by myself every year- didnt mean to start it as a tradition, but hey, i like it , and it gives the kids great quality daddy time. rofl. i have been to vegas twice, NYC, Ft. Lauderdale (to see my loopie girl sara) and texas on my jaunts alone. i highly suggest this. ugg i am rambling again. i am off to read all of you guys posts. i wouldnt miss them for the world. NONE of them are boring. they are just right for what i need to read. blog on sisters and brothers
