Discontinued!

Old Navy has decided to discontinue the Women's plus size line. They will still be carrying it online, but not in the stores. Needless to say, I am NOT happy about this. There's something to be said about walking around the store filling your cart FULL and then spending an hour in the dressing room with your sissie trying on "mombutt" jeans (you know the ones where the waistline almost hits your chin). So that's what Susie and I did tonight. I'm not sure the poor girl who had to put back all the clothes we didn't buy was very happy with us, but we had a BLAST. The plus size stuff was marked down 75%! I spent too much, but found a shirt for $.99 and a fabulous wool sweater for $1.74, so that makes it ok, right?

Summertime

I'm working on a summer playlist, music that will provide a great soundtrack to our summer. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

I like presents!

Especially presents that my sissie brings for us from England. Kinder chocolate, great books, gorgeous earrings, a bobby hat and cars for little man.... and something cool for Wil that he hasn't seen yet. We had fun today seeing all of the cool stuff she found in London and Paris. I'm glad she had so much fun and I'm REALLY happy to have her home again.

Lindsey's home!!!!

Need I say more....

my dilemma

Since becoming a Mommy, I have faced the dilemma of what the HEE HAW to do with my hair. Between the loss of time and income, I never know what to do. I feel guilty for spending the money on regular cuts, then rarely feel like I look nice... not even some semblance of looking put together like I used to. So in December I decided to try a perm. It hasn't been as scary as I thought it would be and has been really quick and easy. I can shower and be ready in 30 to 45 minutes, which is a fraction of what it used to be. For the most part I have been happy with it and even felt like it looked nice. But now it has been 6 months. I'm at the point where the perm has grown out just enough to be REALLY annoying and again I rarely feel like it looks good. So now I'm back to my original dilemma... do I cut my hair the way I like it, knowing that it will double the time it takes me to get ready in the morning? Do I keep pulling it back into barrettes or ponytails and feeling like I look like a train wreck? I know this is so inconsequential in the big scheme of things, but I just want to feel pretty again!


ps. this is the cut that I like:

I do not like them!

Since moving in to this basement apartment, we have had a variety of creepy crawly things down here. Most of them have been spiders and I just figured they would go away once we had been living here for a few weeks. Sadly, that is not the case. I'm still finding 2 or 3 a day and it creeps me out. Now, to make matters worse, BIG black wasps are now finding their way in. My landlady's response... flyswatters.

Huh?

I was driving down Route 4 today behind a car that had a homemade sign covering the back window. It said "Resist the American Empire". What the freak is that supposed to mean? And in Calvert County, where the biggest store is Wal-Mart, the county fair is considered a holiday and the flag still sports a picture of a tobacco leaf. Seriously?!?!?!?

Hotlanta

Wil just left on his first business trip and won't be back until Tuesday night. I don't know if I want to celebrate or cry. I do know that I'm jealous of a weekend with ABSOLUTELY NO responsibilities at a hotel with a pool.

Dr. Phil

My uncle, Phil, was visiting last night and wanted to watch the Republican debate. I haven't been nearly as involved in politics since leaving MMA, but hung out at my parents' house for the first hour. There were a few things that stood out to me...
The first was Huckabee's statement on evolution. The second was Romney's answer about his faith. The CNN articles sum up the comments, but don't do them justice. Most of all I was trying to figure out what was going on with Tommy Thompson's hair... is it a really bad dye job and style or is it a rug? Either way, it was bad.

Water Baby

Little man is turning out to be quite the water baby. He loves the pool and sitting under the tub faucet while it's running. Last night he was having a blast playing in the rain. So I wasn't at all surprised to find him playing in the toilet this morning, until I realized he was using a stacking cup to DRINK THE TOILET WATER. So gross.
