Here comes the hot stepper .....

I get the song "Here Comes the Hot Stepper" stuck in my head all the time, since getting my Fitbit. I don't even know where I first heard it.
I'm trying to blog on a more regular basis. For some reason it is hard to do. Maybe I'm busier, more tired? I don't know. But here I am!
We have been walking a lot. It seems to be helping my stomach, my legs feel firmer, and I'm so tired that I can't hear Kerry snoring! But it also means that I needed new shoes, new capris (it's hard to find any with pockets), and a new little purse to pack stuff like keys, phones, and money in when I walk.
We now have a house full of adults, no more 'kids' living here. And yet, I had to buy fruit gushers, Flintstones' vitamins, and kinder eggs.

I've organized a local photo walking group and we've gone out a few times. It's been great for my brain to talk about photography. Maybe I'll have more photos to post that don't include this mug!

Kerry's auntie Shirley passed away last month and after the funeral, the family had a get together and I told Kerry I was taking my camera because I think it's the first time in years all the cousins will be together. He thought a group photo would be great. I'm going to start forcing everyone for photos more often. I know people won't like it, but in the end, they will learn to. I'm also printing the photos and giving them to the people!
When his mom went out of town, we had Monte over for the night. It was pretty stressful for Linus, probably for Monte too. I've been tossing around the idea of getting another dog, but now I think I'm good for a while. Linus has become an okay only dog. Maybe with time, he'd warm up to a sibling, but I was so on edge that I think I'll leave it for now. Poor Monte didn't escape, but he did get squished, and Linus stole his squeaky Santa. I think this is his "If you talk to my mom, tell her to get her butt over here! I'm not impressed!" He spent most of his time on this chair.
I've started my new job at the local scrapbook store, Ever After, it is within walking distance, but once I get there and work, I don't really want to walk home. I'm really enjoying it! I must practice my money skills, and brush up on my product knowledge! My brain is getting such a workout lately!
If you've made it this far...thanks! Check with Amelia, she's supposed to be blogging more too.
