You Know You Don't Get Out Much When...
(Prepare yourself for a nice long list detailing my life)
•The highlight of your day is the UPS man coming (no Larry, not because I like their brown outfits. I love getting packages!)
•You spend an hour editing photos...because you can.
Before...
After...
And yes, when my custom made wet bags arrived I was very happy. You would be happy to get packages too you know. I can arrange that if you'd like to buy something ;)
•99% of your communication is with an animal or baby.
•You give your dog a pacifier...because you think it's funny and looks cute.
•You check facebook compulsively just because that's what you type as a reflex when you get online...all 987 times each day. Because you're home and you can do that.
•You can't remember the last time you left the house. (Larry sold his car and he usually has mine...can't go anywhere)
•You scavenge for food and succumb to eating stale chips...because you need groceries but can't get them.
•You spend your leisure time cloth diapering a stuffed bunny. If you know my business you'll understand...maybe.
•You take the time to prepare a picture of the bunny for a blog post.
•You have pictures of bunnies in diapers but none of you and your spouse going out on dates and such...not even of you and your spouse just sitting there.
•You think the trip to the grocery store is a date.
•You think it's August when it's December. The snow and cold helped me figure that one out. But again, I don't get out much to be aware of it.
•You miss school.
•You miss having a "real" job. I do like what I do but still...
•You tell your spouse about your day and all you really mention is something about diapers and the UPS guy coming.
•You start talking about socially unacceptable things when you actually come in contact with people...like how I remember vets throwing...um surgically removed parts...at vet techs.
•You just told more people about that...
•The most adventurous thing you did was in a dream...and you were surprised that Chuck Norris didn't show up this time.
•You have time to write blog posts like this.
Okay, I'm done for now ;) I bet I have lots more but I can't think anymore. After all, I spend most of my day not thinking much.
It's funny that I used to be gone 12 hours a day or so and my time at home was spent doing homework. I used to think "If I had time I would do this and that and use it so well." Uh...don't think so. I'm mad at myself for wasting SO much time. It's ridiculous.

Oh yeah...We Have a Blog
It's been a looong time since I posted. Here's a brief update of what we've been up to. Larry got a promotion and raise. I've been doing my daycare for a few months now. And we started a business. Check out megbeebaby.com if you haven't already. Okay, so it's not that exciting to see the coming soon page. It will go live December 1st hopefully. I got my business license and ordered my inventory. I'm really excited about it. I'm going to stop blogging now because we are both really sick and need to get better.

San Diego Trip
We had a great trip in San Diego California. I'd love to write all about it but I'm hitting the delirious stage of the flu...what a crappy souvenir. Anyway, it was so nice to have a week off together, just relaxing for a real vacation. First off, I just want to thank Jordan & Blake for letting us use their flyer reward thing so we could fly for free! We stayed at the Hampton Inn, which was nice. And we had a rental car, which made our lives much easier. Driving in CA wasn’t even bad…I guess cuz it was San Diego. It’s worse in Salt Lake in our opinions.
We got there on Thursday August 20th...after settling into the hotel we headed for the San Diego Zoo. It was nice and all, but it wasn't as great as I thought it'd be. We saw a whole lot more plants than we did animals. I actually thought the Hogle Zoo was better when it comes to seeing animals up close.
On Friday we went to Sea World. Larry had gotten passes for free at work. At least his work has its perks! We loved Sea World. In fact, it was our favorite part of the trip...for me at least, and probably Larry too. We especially loved the shows. We saw all of them while we were there. The Shamu Show was fun, but kind of cheesy..they even do a Shamu Chant to worship the great killer whale...the dolphin show was fun, those dolphins are so cute.
We saw Sea Lions Live which was really funny. Later that day we saw Sea Lions Tonight which was even funnier. I laughed so hard it hurt. They made fun of their other shows that we had seen that day and it was just hilarious. We also saw the Pets Rule Show which was really cute and funny. It was just tons of fun and totally worth it...wait, it was free, but still. We wrote their Journey to Atlantis ride which is like a mix of the log flume and a roller coaster. Larry loved it...I did too. So we spent a bit of the day wet but it was fine. To end our day there we went to the Shamu rocks show...I loved these cute whales that totally smiled...after the show there were fireworks to top it off.
On Saturday we went to the San Diego Temple which was beautiful. Later that night we went to Coronado Island. The beach was stormy looking and overcast but it was still fun...just cold. Sunday we went to Church...then we went for a walk at the Mission Bay Beach. Of course, in our attempt to keep the Sabbath Day holy, the weather was beautiful and it was so tempting to go swimming. But we didn't. We just walked along the shore together until we got to a nice spot to sit.
Monday we went to the Wild Animal Park. We weren’t all that impressed with it. It was just a lot of walking...and I saw more animatronic dinosaurs than real animals. There were cute baby cheetahs though. As we were walking my knee slipped and semi dislocated yet again. Then it was sore and I couldn't walk anymore. So we rode the Carousel. Larry rode a fierce Panda and I read a majestic leopard. Afterwards we headed back to Mission Bay. We had tons of fun playing in the waves.
Then Tuesday we went to this Science Center called RH Fleet. It was alright but we really weren't impressed. It was a lot like the Clark Planetarium. We saw a free IMAX under the sea movie...something like that. And we wasted our money on this virtual dinosaur thing; forget what they're called but it was really lame. We did this thing where you sit down and a machine takes your picture and then shows your age progression up to the age of 75.
Needless to say, Larry is now contemplating suicide and divorce. I don't trust the dang thing. We Campbell's age young and nicely...and I think Larry will too. Of course he claims he won't live long. I hate when he says that. Way to crush your wife's heart hun. Larry spent most of his time there being upset at greedy little children. We were playing with the exhibits and kids kept running up to them and stealing them right out of our hands. Anyway, enough about that. We headed to Mission Bay again and went Boogie Boarding. Tons of fun but kinda scary to get thrown off in those serious waves.
I don’t quite remember if it was Monday or Tuesday, but one of those days we went to Old Town San Diego and looked at the cute little road side shops. We just got bracelets for me…Larry said he didn’t want anything but later gave me a hard time that he didn’t get anything. Sheesh. Then Wednesday the 26th, we flew home..back to life…back to reality.
All in all we had a blast. It was an event filled trip and we came back with tans. Yay!
We really didn't take a lot of pictures on our trip for the following reasons: 1-we didn't want to get our cameras wet so we didn't always bring them, 2-we didn't want them to get stolen while we were playing at the beach, 3-I forgot to change the stupid batteries, and yes I brought plenty, just left them in the hotel room, and 4-one of the cameras didn't work & only took blurry photos..until we got home of course. If you want to see more photos go to Facebook. I'm getting kicked off the computer so I'll add pics later :D

Megan's Daycare for Babies
Well, after months on the job search I decided that it was time to go back to child care. I actually really enjoy it and I'm looking forward to doing it again. I'm especially happy that I'll be working from home! Larry's been really supportive of it...I think he's happy as long as I have some sort of a job. I feel good about it :)
Here are some pictures of my daycare room...I still have more stuff to add to it but this is it at the moment.
