Facebook disabled my account
My Facebook account was disabled on Monday afternoon. I am upset about for a few reasons.
1. I have uploaded a lot of pictures on there that I am not sure I will be able to find.
2. I was in the middle of getting votes for Kairi for a contest.
3. I spent a lot of time on a few Facebook games. If I ever decided to play them again, it is going to take me a long time to get to where I was or at least try to get to where I was before my account was disabled.
4. Facebook hasn't told me why my account was disabled and if they will re-enable it. I would really like to know whether or not they are going re-enable it or not, and why it was disabled in the first place.
My assumption of why it was disabled was because I sent too many of the messages in such a short amount of time. I am guessing that Facebook thought I was hardcore spamming, which I don't think I was. Whether I think I was is neither here nor there.
I hope my account gets re-enabled and soon. I am going crazy. I really want to try and get more votes for my daughter so she can win the contest! On another note, the LCD on my G1 stopped working. The phone itself seems to be working. I just can't see anything except a bunch of lines. Sometimes the screen changes colors. It's weird. Fortunately, T-mobile sent out a replacement phone which I will be getting this Friday!
Not having a Facebook account and a working phone really puts a damper on my social life. Like I said before, I feel disconnected from the world. I feel as if I have no way of communicating to the world. The next few days are going to keep me fairly busy, which I am glad about. It will definitely help pass the time by.

Time for an update!
School
I started school at the beginning of last month. I wanted to take psychology but wasn't sure how difficult English 1010 was going to be so I just stuck with taking English 1010 and Math 0960. I am really enjoying it so far. My professors are great; especially, my English profess (Brad Roghaar). I love his method of teaching. I have learned so many things in his class this past month and a half. I have also gained a new perspective on life.
I still haven't gotten a bike : ( Hopefully, I'll have one by summertime. Although at this point, I'd much rather have a Canon dSLR XSi : ). I found a great deal on eBay! As soon as I have money, I am totally buying it! So back to talking about school.
Last semester, I received an A in math and a B in English. Can I get a woot woot? What's even better is I got college credit for the AP classes I took in high school which I didn't think I would get. My current GPA is 3.82! Can I get another woot woot? I am so proud of myself!
Kairi
Kairi is going to be TWO in four days! I can't believe my baby girl is going to be two. She most definitely does not look two years old! We recently had a WIC and doctor's appmt and she only weighs 18lbs 3oz and measures 29.5 inches tall. She is in the 0th percentile for weight and the 1st percentile for height! I think her head is still the biggest part of her body. Not much by much though.
I can't get over how much she has blossomed. She has quite the personality and vocabulary now. She probably knows about 100 words and a dozen or so phrases. She can also count to three. Sometimes she says 1, 2, 1, 2, 9. I have no idea where she got that from! Also, she's daytime potty trained! My goal was to get her potty trained by the time he turned two and I did it!
She's such a smarty pants. I bought her a few puzzles awhile back and in less than a few days she has figured out ALL of them. I was surprised she was able to figure out her alphabet puzzle so quickly. She never messes up. It's quite amazing! She can tell what certain body parts are and where they are, she can point out animals in a book and tell you what they are (she can even sometimes tell what sound they make), she points herself, me, and her dad out in pictures. Oh, and she has figured out how to open/close doors. Her favorite is opening the fridge and getting water out of the water filter!
We got family pictures done awhile back. My friend Amber took them. You can check out some of the pictures she took at her website: http://amber-amphotography.blogspot.com. They turned out great. I have been anxiously waiting to get the CD with all the pictures she took! If you're in the Davis County area and want your pictures taken, I highly recommend getting them done by her. She's a great photographer and fun to be around. She only charges $64 for a 1 hour session and she puts all the pictures (hi-resolution pictures) on a CD. Not only that but she'll shoot at a location of your choice!
Me
So I made a goal to exercise every day for at least 30 minutes and to eat more healthy. I have done a fairly good job at keeping up with those goals. About two weeks ago, I weighed 136lbs and now I weigh 130lbs. I have noticed my love handles are going away which makes me happy and keeps me motivated. I am hoping by summertime, I'll weigh 115lbs and will have a nice bikini bottom. I think it's totally doable and as long as I stay motivated it will happen! I am going to periodically make a post with how things are going with my weight.
I don't know why but I sometimes find it hard to update my blog on a daily basis. I guess it's because I don't really know what to say half the time. Not only that but I don't think I am that great of a writer : ( Fortunately, I am learning a lot and think my writing will greatly improve after I finish English 1010.
This is totally off subject, but Tyler is on a diet! I am so proud of him for dieting. I didn't think he ever would. He is on the paleo diet and has been for about a week and half. He has eat more salad in the past week than I have seen him eat in the past 3 years I have been with him! He is also exercising which I have never seen him do until recently. He bought a jump rope and jump ropes almost, if not every day : ) He has really impressed me with dieting and exercising. I hope he'll start running with me every day!

Kairi's 1st poopy in her potty chair
Kairi pooped in her potty chair for the first time on the night of September 27th :) She also peed. How exciting!
(Yeah, I know, it's gross, but I just had to get a picture for memorabilia!)

Long overdue
This post is long overdue. I can't believe it's been a month since my last real post. I haven't really had much time to blog. I have spent much needed time with my daughter and the time that I don't spend with her, I spend it doing homework. Occasionally, I will surf the web, play video games,and maybe watch TV.
I used to spend a lot of time on the computer. Several hours a day. I really had to cut back on how much time I spent on here. It was a little difficult for me to have to cut back as much as I needed to, but it has become quite easy. Because I cut back, I have been able to do a lot more. I used to wonder where my day went. I don't wonder so much anymore :)
School
School is going well so far. I am really enjoying it! My professors are super nice and my classes are fairly easy. Oddly enough, I think my math class is easier than my English class. Either way, I am doing well in both classes.
I had a math test on September 15th. I scored really well :) I got 97 percent! I only missed one question. Mrs. Jones was nice enough to give me partial credit. If she hadn't my test score wouldn't be as high. It would probably have only gone down a percentage or two though.
I have had to write two essays so far. They were fairly easy to write. The first essay, I was able to choose whatever I wanted to write about and however I wanted to write. The topic I chose was Kairi and how much I enjoy/love being a parent. The second essay was a descriptive essay. We had to use all five sense to write the essay. The topics I chose for this one was labor and delivery.
I think I did pretty well on them. We got our second essays back on Monday. She said I did well on it :) I am curious as to what she thinks of my first essay. I am not sure when she is going to give our first essays back. Hrmmm.
Even though I am taking classes on campus, most of our homework is online. We used what is called MySkillsLab for English and MathXL for Math. MySkillsLab is alright. I don't really like MathXL though. The programming behind it is terrible!
Case in point: I was answering one of the questions for one of my homework assignments and when I submitted my answer it told me it was wrong. It wasn't wrong though! After trying to submit the answer several times, it finally showed me the 'correct' answer a.k.a the answer that I had tried submitting. I was soooo frustrated!
Kairi
Kairi's vocabulary has sky-rocketed! She can say so many words now. She can even say some phrases. It's amazing! What's even more amazing is her weight gain. She weighed 16 pounds 10 ounces at our WIC appointment that was on August 9th. On Sunday, September 13th, we took her to Wee Care Pediatrics because she had cough, runny nose, fever, a loss of appetite, and was throwing up. When they weighed her, the scaled said 17 pounds 6 ounces!
Can you believe that? She gained 12 ounces in less than a week! That's record-breaking! She has NEVER gained that much weight in such a short amount of time. Pediasure definitely did the trick! I didn't think the Pediasure would work so quickly!
I recently converted her crib into a toddler bed. It has been an exciting transition. She loves her 'new' bed! She really enjoys climbing jumping on it. She has been sleeping in it for the past one and a half nights. It would have been two full nights had there not been a thunderstorm. Tyler and I were afraid the thunderstorm would wake her up and scare her. To be on the safe side we put her in our bed.
It was nice having her next to me, again. I love co-sleeping! We have been co-sleeping since Kairi was born. Co-sleeping has given me this sense of security and comfort. As much as I have enjoyed having Kairi next to me, I think I will enjoy just sleeping with Tyler. Kairi is a major bed hog!
I am so glad that the transition from our bed to her bed has been so seamless. I was so afraid that she might not take well to sleeping on her own, but in fact, she doesn't mind it at all. I sometimes have to wait until she falls asleep elsewhere before putting her in her bed though.
After doing a lot of research and asking people what their opinions were, I finally decided on a potty chair; a pink BabyBjorn potty chair. I ordered it on Amazon.com a few nights ago and just received it today :) Kairi and I were out and about all day today so we didn't get a chance to try it out until about two and a half hours ago.
She took to it better than I had thought she would. I started off by showing her the potty then telling her what it was. I then had her sit down with all of her clothes on to try and help her get used to sitting on it. I was curious as to how she would react to sitting on it with her bare butt so after letting her sitting on it fully clothes for a minute or so, I took her leggings and diaper off and sat her down.
She really enjoyed sitting there. She was even leaning back for awhile. Not even a minute had passed before she peed in her chair! It was funny watching her watch herself pee. She just had this blank expression as she watched her the little tray attached to her chair fill up with pee. Now granted, there was only a little bit of pee. But still. It seemed to interest her. After all was said and done, I wiped her, flushed her pee down the toilet, and then we celebrated by letting her eating some Cheetos (one of her new favorite snacks) while I called/texted/tweeted to tell my friends about family about the exciting news.
Looking back, I wish I would have taken a picture of her pee as memorabilia. As weird as that may sound. *sigh* Oh well. I will definitely take a picture tomorrow, if/when she pees in her potty again.

School
I start school on Monday. It will be my very first day of college. Boy am I nervous. I haven't been in school since 2006. I wish I would have started college a lot sooner. Better late than never though.
I don't have my school books yet :/ That is making me more nervous than anything. I need two books; a math and English one. Both will cost me about $300 total. Can you believe that? $300 for TWO books!!! That's ridiculous. The other day, my sister-in-law told me that one of her books was going to cost her $280. Now granted, it's a medical book. But come on!
On a more positive note, the campus is about a mile away from where I live. I will hopefully be getting a bicycle for school soon. I really want a beach cruiser! Tyler and I have been planning to get matching bikes. The only thing stopping us right now, I think, is money. My fingers are crossed that I get a bicycle in the next month. Or less.

Jack...
...is finally home! I woke up at 10:30 this morning to the sound of my doorbell. I got out of bed and thought to myself, "Is it the UPS guy??" and sure enough, it was him! He was standing there with a big box that I knew for a fact had my computer inside.
I am as content as I can possibly be with the exception that I have to clean the house. I have a feeling today is going to be a very good day :) As good a day as yesterday if not better!

Reminiscing
I was watching 10 Things I Hate About You (the TV series) and got thinking about all the TV shows I used to watch when I was a kid. I wrote up a list of some of the shows that I used to watch and wish I could watch all over again.
Here's the list:
Boy Meets World, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Clarissa Explains It All, The Secret World of Alex Mack, The Babysitters Club, Dinosaurs, Goosebumps, Growing Pains, Angela Anaconda, The Wonder Years, Bobby's World, Darkwing Duck, The Gummy Bears, DuckTales, Talespin, Daria, Recess, Pepper Ann, The Wild Thornberrys, All That, Keenan and Kel, So Weird, Smart Guy, The Famous Jett Jackson, Doug, PB&J Otter, etc.
The TV shows nowadays just aren't what they used to be :( I sometimes wish being a kid. if I could, I would go back in time and watch all those TV shows I just listed. I would love to have them on DVD! That would be absolutely fantastic!
