No Internet at Home = No Pictures for the Blog

I accidentally kicked the laptop off of the couch the other day, damaging our Internet thingy.  So I currently don't have access to the Internet at my home.  Which means that I can't post pictures from my home computer to the blog, which means that I have to take a break, because what is blog without pictures?  I'll be back in 5-7 business days, when the new thingy gets to me. 

And just so you guys are all in the know, this is the second thingy we had to get because of it being dropped on the ground, and they have now dropped us from the insurance for it.  I didn't even think that was possible.  So here's hoping we don't drop it for another year. {That's how long we have to wait until they will insure us again} It sucks being a high liability.   

LESSON LEARNED

Don't leave the laptop on the couch when you take a nap.

Hope you guys have a great and fun filled weekend. 

Love, not drugs,

Day Two -- Meaning Behind Your Blog Name

If you don't know, I used to be a Maymi.  A Maymi is an awesome thing to be.  If you're a Maymi, then you know you have awesome friends and and even more awesome FAMILY!!!  For 28 {almost 29} years, I wore the last name like a badge of honor.  In fact, and Husbo is going to kill me when I say this, I toyed with the idea of NOT changing my last name.  Not that 'Battle' isn't a cool name, but Maymi is near and dear to my heart, it's hard to let go of.  It's hard to get rid of the name you know and love.  But alas, I took the plunge and changed my name.  I started this blog shortly after Husbo and I bit the bullet.   It used to be called A Family Named Battle, but since I am the only one of the Family Battle that writes on this blog, I found Life As A Battle more appropriate.   And that, my friends is where Life As A Battle came from. 

Where Life as a Battle really started

P.S. Erika Battle may not be as cool as Erika Maymi, but she is a little tougher.  With a name like Battle, I think you kinda have to be! 

Happy Tuesday, Lovers!

This Happened

So this happened yesterday and made my day. 

I think 1000 views is pretty cool.  I'm a huge dork, and I don't care who knows it.  Have a WONDERFUL Friday!!!

So Sorry For the Delay....

....But you're just going to have to wait a little longer. 

I am sorry that I haven't written in a while but, A) There is not been one exciting thing to write about and B) I feel like I could do this:

any moment now.  Being sick does not make for a very funny Mrs. Battle.  So until I start to feel like this:

 

You're just gonna have to keep on waiting.  SO SORRY!  Hope this doesn't make you love me any less. 

On a side note {you know how I love those}, I am half way done with our THANK YOU cards....Keep an eye out for yours if you haven't gotten it yet.  :)

Don't Call My Name...

I know I JUST posted last night, but I have decided to make a change.  This blog was originally started as a family blog, but let's be honest, Husbo is never going to write an entry.  And I pretty much talk about myself and what is going on in MY life all the time anyway.  So I have decided to change the name of this blog to Life As a Battle. 

Okay....carry on with your day.  :)
