I feel like my life is sort of coming back to it's original position - with an added Franklin factor. I'm working out on a regular basis, I'm taking long walks, I'm reading for fun...

Someone said to me the other day that I have "BF" life and "AF" life: "Before Franklin" and "After Franklin". We were having a conversation about what it was like to go to school with a young child however, it got me thinking about it all.
Of course, things are bound to be different "BF" as opposed to "AF". There are pros and cons to the change Franklin has brought to our lives. Nevertheless, I can't honestly think of a con these days which doesn't automatically follow with a pro. For example, I don't get out as much as I used to - things tend to revolve around Franklin's schedule and ability to concentrate. Nevertheless, having my life revolve around someone more than myself has been a good thing for me. I'm less introspective, I analyze the irrelevant less, I see more forest and less trees. It is good to have both perspectives, but trust me, I was a little too far to one side than the other in my "BF" life.

Is anyone still following this anymore? I've lost myself, once again.

Anyway, I'm currently sitting in D's office, typing out this blog entry. It's my day off and... gasp... Franklin is in daycare. To be honest, the car needed a new muffler today and I had to sort out our passports for a future trip to, lets see, Russia?...

ummm, yeah, I'll tell you about that later.

I'm off to hang out in used bookstores and get all excited like geeks in bookstores tend to get. I'm on the hunt for a first edition of Steinbeck's, "The Moon is Down". Wish me luck.
