Well, look at me, posting my challenge on the first day of the month! Uh. We won't talk about how I skipped last month. I've been berating myself all of October for that one.
First, a report on the living healthily challenge from September: I did pretty well. I slipped up on the exercise thing a couple times because I forgot. I started to adopt the trading-in-something-bad-for-something-better thing as a regular habit during that month, so I don't know if I did it every day, but I think that's okay. I got sick for a few days, so I laid off on the vegetable and fruit thing because all I really wanted was chicken noodle soup. I learned that feeling gross and headachey after a bad meal has more to do with my overdosing on sugar (pop, in particular) than overdosing on greasy pepperoni pizza. I think that's an important discovery that I should have figured out before now, beings I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant. I am feeling dense and boring tonight, and I think it has more to do with running around after a one-year-old all day than my having just eaten a buttery scone. So, for now, I have no monumental nuggets of wisdom gleaned from my month of living more healthily.
As for November's challenge, it's all about romance. Whoopee!
I missed Sweetest Day. I've never celebrated it before, but I heard on the radio that it was coming up, and I wanted to do something fun as a surprise for Kyle, but things were busy, and I got tired, and, and, and... I missed it.
In general, things are crazy once you have a kid. Even if he goes to bed at eight, you still feel like a sopping dish rag by the time you're finally alone as a couple. At least I do. Really, I feel more like a dry dish rag right now -- the kind that's all crusty and molded into its previously soppy shape. Sexy. Very sexy.
I have no more details for you tonight on my incomparable sexiness, but I'll fill you in on the challenge. (Yikes. It's November. That means I start today. And it's already after 9...)
I resolve to do something romantic for my husband every day. I can't give details because he reads my blog. But I want to surprise Kyle, look and feel beautiful for Kyle, and be nice to Kyle more often.
Okay, I admit, even at 9.14 p.m., this challenge sounds like it could be just a little bit... fun. ;)

Question of the Day:
Will all this sweetness and kindness to Kyle for this month, cause you to be running after a second child a year from now?
Anonymous #2: You know, for the life of me, I can't figure out how those two things would even be related.
