The boy child somehow broke his first ‘Sing & Spin Pablo’ shortly after he received it. He has played with it ever since even with the awful noise coming from his gears so I felt really bad. He loves his Pablo! What did I do? Yep, bought him a new one! What is he doing now? Trying to break it I guess. The age is appropriate, 18 months+, so I don’t understand why they would make a toy so easily breakable. What is the point? Maybe they know that the kids will get attached and then parents will be off buying a second one. I think I’ll give Fisher Price a call sometime soon and let them know what I think.

I truly believe there are secret lotto agents out there who make sure only REALLY old people win the lotto. Call me a bad person, whatever, but I think at 80 some odd years old a person has no need for that kind of cash.
Or call me disgruntled and jealous. Whatever.
No, but seriously, that’s really nice for them. At least they plan on sharing it with family members and he’s a veteran. You have to love vets!
I need to go buy a lotto ticket!
At the risk of sounding materialistic, I’d really love to get one of these organizers for my new LV. I took it shopping with me on Saturday and it was a little hard to grab through the mess I had made in the bottom of it. No real pocket to keep me organized. I love that this can be used in all bags. As often as I switch (usually daily depending on the outfit) this would make it super easy to change bags. Just pull it out and drop it into the next one.
I feel as if my head may very well cave in on itself. Seriously. I also have a bad case of what I call ‘gamer’s thumb’. Darn Nintendo DS. I’ve been on a mission to try and beat the Mario Bros game before the hubby has a chance to catch up with me. See, he’s a nerd and way better at this stuff than I am. So in order to stay ahead I’ll have to play twice as long. But I don’t know how much more I can take. Ouch. I guess maybe I should have read the health precaution handbook before playing. lol
William brought me his chuck taylors, thinking he’d go bye bye if I put them on (shoes are magic like that you know), and I told him he had cool shoes. He nodded and said “cool”.
OMG is that cute or what?! He’s also learning his body parts now. He’ll lift up his shirt to show you his belly button and stick his finger UP his nose if you ask where that is. Such a boy.
that’s all I have to say about that. Carry on.
Waking up to this!! My Batignolles Horizontal arrived!! I’m so impressed with Eluxury’s service. I ordered this on the 24th in the late afternoon and it shipped late Thursday. Fedex didn’t have an estimated arrival until the 30th, but it showed up bright and early this morning. I’m so giddy. I haven’t had a chance to really look it over much though as the kids see a box and immediately think it’s for them. No way am I letting them play with this. I’ll wait until later and then salivate over it.
Oh, and I was sure to use ebates when I ordered this so I will receive my 3% rebate, which is almost $25! Not too shabby. My next check from ebates will now be over $100, all of which can go back into the purse fund. 
I’m a dork, I know.
Unfortunately, this can’t become a habit like my Coach addiction. This is a “cheaper” bag as far as LV goes from what I could see. So yeah, not really in the regular budget and as affordable as Coach is. But one day I would like to get one more. Just ONE. The Damier Speedy 25 (or 30).
I totally support the troops. But when they’re living next door and partying every weekend, I get a little ticked. We’re so lucky to have a pack of rowdy Marines renting the unit next to us. yay… uhh.. not. It wouldn’t be so bad if they were inside their unit, but they’ve decided that their patio is a great place to drink even if it’s only 30 degrees out. Oh and the f-bomb coming out of their mouths every other word is great too. I can hear them clear in my bedroom. It’s insane. I’ll get them back tomorrow by getting the kids up early and vacuuming before 8am, oh and maybe running my garbage disposal lots and lots too. They’re lucky I’m trying to be quiet and not wake the kids or else I’d be calling the police patrol pager.

Please, God, don’t let me live to be 114 or even 80! That probably sounds awful but I really don’t think I would enjoy living at that age. I want to be gone and cremated way before then. I’m bored as it is now and I’m only 26. lol
Once again a few navy wives in the area from a forum I belong to want to have a little get together. I was all hyped up to go until the question was asked … “can we bring kids and husbands?”. Of course the ring leader was all joyful about it and replied with “of course! we’ll all help care for the kids and entertain them!”. Um yeah, not me. No thank you! As soon as someone mentioned that they would be hauling their spawn along with them I immediately felt annoyed and decided that I’ll probably sit this one out. AGAIN. I know it probably sounds odd to be a kid hater and a parent, but I just don’t like kids. I love MINE dearly and I think certain friends’ kids are adorable, smart, wonderful little things. But in general I don’t like kids. Simple as that! I don’t ooh and ahh over babies or find precocious toddlers endearing. I thought maybe it was just me being lazy or shy and making excuses as to why I shouldn’t attend. But nope. It’s the kid thing. Every time they do these get togethers and mention bringing small babies, toddlers and children.. OMG, I want to freak out. I don’t want to go to sit through lunch and listen to someone else’s kid be a pain in the arse when I had enough sense to leave mine at home with their Daddy. That’s the whole point of me going out by myself!
And this is another beef I have with most women that I know. Not all, just the ones I come across. They will never leave their kids home with their husbands! Why? I don’t know. I can understand bringing kids along if you’re husband is deployed, or has duty that day. But not if he’s sitting on his butt at home anyway.
I’d be more ok with it if we were going to a fast food restaurant with a playground or something. But Chili’s or any casual sit down restaurant? Sure it’s family friendly, but.. ugh. The last time they had a get together and I attended, it took over 2.5 hours to be seated! Why? Because they all brought their entire families. They don’t have room for that many people at a table plus high chairs. It’s a total pain in the backside for the employees and it’s pure hell waiting in a cramped area with impatient kids who want to run around and annoy people.
One of these days I will find a female friend who doesn’t mind peeling the velcro child off of them for an hour or two for lunch or coffee. One day. One day. Until then I’ll keep dreaming I suppose!
