I love music!!! And watching American Idol always makes me want to take guitar lessons (or just get my dad to teach me), write a song and try out. I've always dreamed of being on a stage singing in front of thousands of people. :) Music moves me in a way nothing else does. There is truly some amazing talent this year on American Idol, I was impressed tonight at a few of the contestants. I'm looking forward to this season.
So we've had a busy couple of days. Yesterday Abby and I went to Gloucester to run some errands. We went to Hallmark to get my parent's an anniversary card. Well little miss Abby was into everything, taking cards off the shelves, smelling the Yankee candle's (the ladies working were amazed how she was picking each candle up, smelling it and then putting it back) actually I was too. My mom, Abby and I went to the Yankee candle factory before Christmas and of course that's all we did, I guess she remembers that! Anyway, so I thought getting a balloon would help divert her attention. I was right! I had a pink balloon blown up for her and tied it around her wrist. She LOVED it and loved even more showing it to every person she passed. Very thankful for a single pink balloon. :)
We also went to the Wellness Center yesterday and signed Abby up for a swimming class. We'll start them in two weeks and I can't wait. She took them this time last year and I thought it would be a good idea to do them again. Robert and I both went and got in the pool with her last year and as active as she is now we're going to do the same for this session.
I went to the Y and did a 30 minute run and 10 minute stair stepper after work today. My wonderful husband cooked dinner and we ate when I got home. Then I gave Abby a bath and she decided she wanted to dance so I turned on the station that usually has live concerts. She loves Jason Mraz but he wasn't on tonight. It was Julianne Hough and Abby just danced her little heart away, shaking her booty and trying to snap her fingers. She loves it when I dance with her. So we danced and danced and danced! : ) She also loves it when I hold her and twirl her around the living room, so we did just that!! : ) We had so much fun.
We read a few books and off to bed she went! We may be getting a few more inches of snow tomorrow so we'll be sticking close to home. I'll probably have to re-schedule my dentist appointment that I have in the morning. Fine by me, who really wants to go to the dentist anyway. :)
Time to call it a night!

I CANNOT wait to see you and Abigail dancing together. We dance every night after dinner, but I'm not a dancer, so Nicky is kind of teaching me. This post made me miss you guys and I really hope the weather clears so we can get together this weekend!! Love, Mer
