Well, I'm getting to the point where I ask why I bother writing. I can't do it every day, and when you don't do it every day, it's hard to come up with something important enough to you to write about. Snowboarding was exciting, but I don't think anyone else cared about it, and since it was about the only exciting thing I had to write about, it got old fast. The season is over anyhow.

The last couple weeks I've been feeling very down, as if everything (except taking care of Alice of course) is pretty pointless. I'm feeling better the past couple days though. My family thought maybe my recent 'depression' might be my hormones starting to kick back into drive, since I still haven't gotten my period since Alice was born. I hope it doesn't last as long, if it happens next month.

My car is doing weird things...the check engine light has come on again (last time was right before I went to Korea), but the engine still sounds normal. The brakes are a different story. It's making really bizarre noises every time I press the brakes hard enough to stop. Not squealing...sounds fluidic. Kristi said they sound like Willy Wonka's bubble machine from the first Wonka movie.

I'm going to the dentist tomorrow, I haven't been in about a year and a half. I finally started brushing my teeth more regularly, so they're cleaner, but I think I might have at least one cavity. I know for sure I tend to clench my jaw and/or grind my teeth in my sleep. Runs in the family.

Alice did great in her first swim lesson last night. She never cried. She fussed a bit when her face got in the water, but doesn't everyone? The water was a bit cold, for some reason they fill it with cold water and then heat it, instead of also heating it a bit before they put it in, as is my experience with most heated pools, so we were all cold.

It's now definitely less than two months until Andrew returns, and only a couple weeks until my mom's side comes for a reunion. At least something's happening!
