<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well, as it turns out, I had a kid. And then I had ANOTHER. And THEN I wrote a book, AND THEN I WROTE ANOTHER ONE!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I know. It's a lot to digest. I'll wait...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Okay, so now that my YA series is in full swing, I thought I should probably update this blog with some highly crucial info. Like, for starters, my Goodreads profile. If you aren't on there already, go. It's the best. I promise.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/16061209.L_K_Thompson" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">LK THOMPSON on Goodreads</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next is my Twitter and Insta author handle:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">@LK_Thompson2</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">@thompsonlk</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And FINALLY, my amazon page...</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/LK-Thompson/e/B0733PJ3TG/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">LK THOMPSON on Amazon</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think that's everything. If you like YA and are in need of a new series to consume, try my Pelham High books. I'd love to hear your feedback and read honest reviews. Writing books has been therapeutic, frustrating, and an overall wonderful experience so far and I'd love to know how YOU think I can improve. Or you can just tell me nice things. That works too:)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I hope to update this more often in the coming days. Thanks for stopping by!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Every ounce of support is extremely appreciated!</span><br />

<br>
We spent 2 nights in the Galt Hotel and had the best time ever! The city has indoor walkways to everywhere and surprisingly has even more than that to offer- if you can believe it. Lots of restaurants, pubs, stores, antique shops and horse statues. And the Louisville slugger museum, which we decided to save for next time. <br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">we (my husband, dog, and myself) are expecting...a miniature version of ourselves!!! (think less dog, more human)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That is why I've been paying MUCH more attention to my other blog and ignoring this one (sad face). But it needn't go on any longer. I am 14 weeks along and the excitement can officially be spread.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've added a tab at the top where you can check out my other <a href="http://mylifewithouthandlebars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Infertility/Baby/Pregnancy Blog</a>, if you so choose.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Unfortunately, I did not video tape enough AT ALL last year, so while I wish I had more, it will have to do. 2012 was a hard year for personal reasons that I'll be sure to divulge at some point, but it was also an amazingly fantastic year in it's own way. When I watch this, I try not to focus on my shoddy editing job and instead see how blessed and lucky we are. And I also see how important it is to make memories like this one. I've always felt pressure to be a historian of my life because you never know when you'll need to look back and "remember when"...</span><br />

I reallyreallyreally hope so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Second of all, I'm too old for this crap. It is now two days into this year and I am fully exhausted STILL from NYE. Something about staying up until 6am, chatting up my best friends husband and drinking wine just does not seem to fly anymore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My resolutions are:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">No alcohol for 4 months. (Other than one previous birthday party plan in 2 weeks) why not?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Continue going to acupuncture and staying stress free!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Xoxo</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">L</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Buy: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Strawberry jam</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Phyllo cups </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Cube the Brie and place it into the phyllo cups</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bake at 350 for 7 minutes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Remove from oven and scoop jam onto each cheese cup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bake again at 350 for 3 minutes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A massive picture for our bedroom!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The idea for this year was that we each needed to print a physical photo from the past year. With so much of our lives belonging online, it's hard to find the time to actually print photos. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-BFdA75NgQ7A/UNnuyK0LM6I/AAAAAAAACvc/I6LPxMtbKDE/s640/blogger-image-344531494.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-BFdA75NgQ7A/UNnuyK0LM6I/AAAAAAAACvc/I6LPxMtbKDE/s640/blogger-image-344531494.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That's why my gift to Jeff was a 12x12 hardcover photo album of our cross country road trip! It is 108 pages! </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So time consuming, but extremely worth it. I recommend printing an album of your last year ASAP...or make it your new years resolution!</span><br />

The 2012 edition.<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This year, our holiday party was different for a couple reasons. Medically, I was going through something that involved lots of doctor visits that could pop up at any time. Try planning a party when you know that you will be under anesthesia "at some point" this month and on bed rest "for 3 days a week after the first thing." It wasn't easy. I had the party planned for the 15th. Previous years, Jeff and I have held this party on the weekend before Christmas. I liked that it was becoming a tradition. However, as the month of December approached, I discovered that the bed rest thing would likely occur on or around the 15th. Clearly, we had to move the party. We bumped it up a week and were pleasantly surprised that even MORE of our beloved friends could make it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">However.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">OF COURSE, 4 days before December 8th, I discover that the anesthesia appointment will be happening ON Saturday. AT TWO PM!!!! What the heck?! The party started at 6pm! Most people would cancel. Most people would not wake up out of anesthesia, in a painfully bloated state, trek to Panera, go home, shower, get ready and STILL have the party. I am not most people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The party went off without a hitch and somehow I survived. I am glad that I did it, too. For some reason, a good Christmas party can be very healing for me. It was truly just what I needed. A night with good food and good family and friends.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">YAY for Christmas!</span><br />

They make it so Colonial-Williamsburg-esque in their simplicity and beauty. And they give a big bang for their buck. Much better than regular Christmas lights. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">All you need are regular lunch bags or white lunch bags (I ended up switching my regulars for white ones), the cheapest kitty litter you can find and tea light candles. They will last for around 3 hours.</span><br />

I mean, I could write about it all day and every day and I still don't believe I would get my point across accurately. I LOVE it. In fact, I kind of hate how much I love it because it's so typical and unoriginal to love Christmas, but I can't help it. Something about seeing every house dressed up in lights and decorations, smelling firewood burning, hearing an entire collection of songs meant specifically for this time of year, seeing red and green splashed everywhere and just EVERYTHING. It's the <i>best.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, imagine my surprise when I found that this year was going to be even better than the one before. Right now you're probably like, "OHMYGOD! BETTER?! <i>HOW?!"</i> and all I have to say is HOLD YOUR HORSES...I'll tell you. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My sister, bro-in-law and little baby neph moved 4 houses down from us! How fun is that?! Jeff and I couldn't be happier. In a way, my excitement has forced me to realize just how lazy we actually were before considering they only lived a couple miles away, but enough about the past. NOW they are so close that dropping by for a hug from my nephew or a Christmas cookie seems totally normal. It's so easy! Yay for family!</span><br />

We will no longer have men bang-a-langing around it's 22 crooked walls all the live long day. Woo hooo! I can't even believe it's true. It's like the best news ever. That and the fact that we love every inch of it. Even the inch that already has chipped paint on it. Ack! But don't get me wrong, I am SOOOO happy this reno is over. I used to think people who hated renovating were cray cray because <i>hellooo</i>, it's so worth it in the end, but now I see the light. The cold hard 'grass is greener' truth. Reno's are hard. Even without children and a month away from it all. They're hard, they just are.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So here we are...in a place between renovating and decorating. And even though we can't really use it properly, it is super fun to hang out in. Who wouldn't want to hang out in the best insulated floor of the house?! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Oh, and by the way Jeff's TV is 50 inches. I just felt that I should clarify that fact since he was worried these pictures might make it look small due to it not being mounted correctly. HA.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This basement renovation has really been an interesting learning experience for me. And don't get me wrong. When I say interesting...I don't mean awe-inspiring, I mean equal parts AWFUL and INSPIRING. There is something so incredibly inspirational in having a vision and then getting to watch it grow into something day by day. And actually seeing the <i>progress</i> is really necessary and makes it all the more special to me. I mean, when you hand over a 100 year old crappy basement, it is beyond impressive to see what can be done with a boat load of elbow grease and patience. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I guess that is why when I have a really hard reno day like today, and I am forced to stand witness to our contractor plow down a small portion of my neighbors' fence, I have to remind myself that this is all worth it. It takes WORK and lots of it. It is not going to just appear finished one day. There will be hiccups and blemishes in the process but I know it is a <i>process</i>. It will be completed soon, though and I am confident that the finished product will be all 'us'. </span><br />
