| Mr. Bubble |
That guy really makes my daughter happy. You only have to say "Bub...." and she gets giddy and screams "BUBBLE BATH!!!!!!" I'm so glad a $2 bottle of bubbles can provide a week's worth of clean entertainment for my daughter.
So I've been in a crappy kinda mood today. Probably because I didn't get enough sleep. Oh well, it's my own fault.
I decided on the green shirt and white skirt combo, which is nice because I only need to buy the green shirt and a pink cami to go underneath. Oh, and green flipflops if I can find them to match. idk, I'm excited for a night out on the town. I haven't had one since I was first pregnant with Liz. I'm not out to pick up men, I just want to look hot for once in my life. Be treated nicely ya know?
I've been begging Jim to get me WiiFit for either my birthday or Christmas. I really really really want it. Treadmills are only so fun, as is walking outside. I do plan on joining the gym with Jennifer. It's like $10 a month for this new gym in Scranton! I'm so excited. For $10 more you get access to massages and unlimited tanning, though I really don't need that. I'd burn like a friggon lobster.
Speaking of the wii, that new guitar hero SUCKED. (Aerosmith). It was so short, not hard at all, and you can't do a co-op carreer. WTF. Plus they didn't have my favorite song on there (Don't wanna miss a thing) What a rip.
I'm dying to get my schedule for next week tomorrow. We're supposed to go to Knoebles on Tuesday, but I soooo don't want to go. We're going for the pool they have there. The IL's want Liz to ride kiddie rides. Sorry, but I'm not paying a dollar a ride for her to scream and cry the entire time. Not like I really want to bare a swimsuit in public at an amusement park, but I'll live. They're calling for it to be in the 90's that day, so we might not even be going if it's that hot. (what do they want it to be to go in the pool, 60?) .:.sigh.:.
So I told myself I need to leave my debit card at home whenever I go to work. That is going to be so hard to do. I hate to write checks anymore, so I'll be deterred from spending money without my debit card. Yeah, that's a good plan.
So I went on my old blogsite Nutang today. I was really disgusted at how stupid I was as an 18 year old, and the shit I thought was funny. Man it's amazing how you can mature over 3 years, lol.
Well Liz just strutted by naked, so I'm sure there's a pull up and an accident somewhere on the floor. meh :-( |

| TREADMILL!!! |
So I finally found an extention cord long enough to hook my treadmill up to a main circuit. Everytime I'd excersie above 4mph I'd kick the breaker in the sunroom. I enjoyed a nice 30 minute jog above 4mph for once, at an incline of 10. Dude that was fun. I actually feel refreshed and with energy! My goal is to drop 10 pounds by the end of the month. My first mini goal of many!
I totally wish I had some sort of fairy godmother that would do my laundry for me. I'm starting to detest laundry. It's never ending. I get caught up and then there's another load to do. .:.sigh.:.
Not to mention Liz totally leaked through her diaper overnight, so now I have her entire bedding to wash. I can't wait till she's potty trained.
It's already 1pm and I've done a whole hell of nothing today. I got a shower after I fixed breakfast for Liz, I did 2 loads of laundry, and I made lunch and excersized while Liz ate lunch. I made my goal of staying up till 3am this morning- just for shits and giggles. I was so proud of myself, and then I crashed hard. I didn't even wake up when Jim went to work. I don't remember getting my goodbye kiss. I don't even care!
I'm trying to find a really cute outfit for the end of the month when I go out with my friends. I told Jim already about my night out, so if he bitches, I'll just sweetly remind him that he had a month's notice.
I'm debating between this:
Or this... not sure which color would look better
I have the white skirt, but I don't know if I'd rather have the green or the blue top. I'll wear a color coordinating cami underneath, white with the black skirt, black with the white skirt.
This is how boring my life is. Lizzy is sleeping and I'm shopping for clothes that I can blow my paycheck on. And I wonder why I took the job at Old Navy.....
so I took that pic from my phone and made another siggy for iV. I need to stop, my rotator's getting a bit full.
Lizzy really is so sweet. She's really starting to LOVE giving kisses to everyone. She plays hard to get around the boys though. Today when she got up, I took her jammies off since they were soaked in pee. She went to her dresser and picked out a white tank top and said 'here mommy, shirt!" We put it on and then she went back and found some pants. She actually matched today!! Pink leggings and a white tank top. She's a fashionista like her momma. At least she didn't dress herself like she did this day:
Yep, hello kitty pj pants and a neon striped shirt. Ahh, toddler fashion.
Back to her sweetness though. When we went out for lunch yesterday she sat next to me in the booth. Before our lunch came she was standing up and leaning her head on my shoulder, and then she just started kissing. I think I got at least 20 kisses all over my shoulder and then a dozen more on my face. She was giving me hugs as well. Something about wet sloppy baby kisses is so irresistable. They're so cute I can't stand it!
But now that I've wasted a half hour of my day writing this blog, I should return to the laundry. Oh how I wish I was Cinderella. |

| Mutha Ducka |
So my lovely friend showed up this morning, only to go away by mid day. What the hell. So I figure fine, I'll just bring something alone JIC. Of course, I leave the house without anything. Just my mother ducking luck.
Went out to lunch with Jim and his best friend Erick. He's also Lizzy's godfather.
Yeah I know.. They look a lot alike.. yadda yadda. We get it all the time.
So anyway, we went to some diner down on Birney Ave in Scranton. It wasn't anything good, but the food servings were just too big. They gave my 2 year old like 9 chicken nuggets and a scoop of mashed potatoes so big it would feed 2 adults. Oh well, makes good leftover lunches that are easy to reheat! And Lord knows moms need ease. Jim and Erick ordered these insanely huge burgers with ham, onion rings, mushrooms, tomatoes, and the kitchen sink on them.
I swear to god I would have taken one bite and puked. Not those 2. Holy hell and Jim finished the entire thing. Erick almost did. I stuck with my turkey wrap sans tomato and couldn't even finish half of it. Then again I did steal some of Lizzy's mashed potatos. Something about potatoes mixed with milk and butter just makes me happy. I blame my period.
After we ate Uncle E bought Liz a bouncy ball and a friggon sticky ball from the little quarter machines. I hate those sticky things. Now I know why my mother detested me getting them. They make a god damned MESS! I still have sticky goo stuck to my jeans where she tried to bounce it off my leg. Good goin' Uncle E. =P
We came back to E's house and I'm just sitting here bored out of my mind. He does have 2 cute ducks, they think one's a boy and one's a girl. They're about a month old. Pretty cute, and super soft. I got to pet a duck today for the first time!
Of course I'm out in the middle of Thornhurst, aka bumblefuck USA so I have no cell phone service inside the house. I was so craving technology that I sat in the car for 10 minutes earlier when the internet went out.
So I'm cranky, miserable, PMSing and ready to eat an entire bag of hershey's kisses. If only I had some Hershey's kisses... Maybe I'll settle for some chocolate skittles instead.
I could have sworn I heard some quote before, but I couldn't find it. I made it into a blinkie anyway. I'm really into that lately, lol. I just use them on my AIM profile because who really wants to read through my entire graphic signature on iVillage. Not me!
 <- but I have no problem boring you with them!
Speaking of iVillage, I'm so addicted to my mommy friends on April 06. They're amazing and so supportive and caring! I think we have the best playgroup on the entire iVillage parenting network! But I could be bias, as I've been with these ladies for 3 years!
I must admit, I did take a mighty cute pic of Liz and myself at the diner. I love how blurry and artsy it looks
peace |

| one hell of a day |
So I got a total of 4 hours of sleep last night. I've been going on coffee and caffiene mints all day. The day started fine, went to training at Old Navy and instantly fell in love. They're so relaxed, so laid back, with a killa dress code. They even have a couch in their break room. Hell yeah! Of course Jennifer's and my friend James was our trainer, and he saw us and said "No way, not my Sears girls!" Gave us a good laugh. So I'm already thrilled with my job!
-reppin the ON-
So I get home around 12:30, and make some lunch and eat on the back porch with Jim and Liz. I couldn't even finish my lunch I was feeling so nasty. I grabbed some water and a book and headed into the yard to just relax. I dozed off in my chair so I went back inside and took a HPT, which thank god was a BFN. (Home Pregnancy Test, Big Fat Negative) Just wanted to put my mind at ease. Not ready for another child right now. HELL WOULD FREEZE OVER FIRST!
So with my mind at ease, Jim, Liz and I crawled in bed and took a nap. Well I tried to. A few friends kept texting me asking how my job went, so I got maybe an hour of interrupted sleep. Boooooooo. I laid in bed for about 2 hours though, just texting and resting while Liz slept and Jim went off to cut the grass.
Lizzy left the room and I checked my myspace. I had a message from my stepsister saying "Please Read ASAP" so I did. She told me to call her because my dad's in the hospital. My mind went crazy. My heart dropped below my pelvis and I started to cry. I called instantly and Lizzy comes in, asking "What's wrong mommy??". My dad has pnemonia, and some infection. He's also anemic and having a bad reaction to his diabetes medication. I just pray to god that he will be okay. He has to be, he just has to be. He's all I have left. I don't want to lose my daddy too. I can't even see him tomorrow with Jim's and my day off, because he has plans to hang out with his best friend. I'm so mad, so hurt, so upset. I pray to God to watch over my dad.
Please, if you read this, keep him in your prayers.
I have to go now, dinner's finally ready. |

| I hate Mondays. |
Title says it all. I hate Mondays. The beginning of the week. The laundry day. Gross.
I didn't even go to sleep until like 2am today because of certain people .:.youuuuu.:. so I'm dead tired. I'm thinking I'm going to take a nap today, at least this afternoon when the husband gets home from work and takes his daily afternoon nap. Must be nice .:.grumble.:.
Tomorrow I start my job at Old Navy at the bright and early time of 8am. 8-12, that's not a bad starting shift to do some training and orientation I'd assume. I'm just so tickled to be able to wear cool stylish clothes and JEANS to work!
I went to pee yesterday and when I was pulling my pants up of course my belt fell in the damn toilet. That was the highlight of my day, haha. Thank god it's cloth and can be washed, so into the machine it went. It irritates me because this crap only happens to me. At least I didnt' drop my cellphone in the toilet like Brittany did, lol
The visit with BIL went okay. It was quite boring, so I came back to our bedroom to chat with some friends and work on my Sex and the City blinkie. Jim and Liz passed out in bed, so I just took my laptop and sat on the back porch in the sunshine. It was so relaxing, and I thank technology for wireless routers.
I'm debating on what to wear tomorrow shirt wise. I'm thinking my new jeans that are super nice and slim me up a bit, and a pink shirt. I love pink shirts. I own too many. Most of my clothes are black and white though, thanks to Sears, so I still have to incorporate them in my work wardrobe. Thank goodness they look good with jeans. I got the cutest blue slip on sneakers at Payless last Wednesday after Jennifer and I got the job. They were on clearance for $9, so how can you beat that for comfortable sneaks? That's right, you can't! I so can't wait to go back to work. I've been so bored these past 5 days but at least they flew by! Maybe that means the month will fly by.... hmm, I'm hoping! :)
Less than 2 weeks until my road trip with Britt. I'm quite excited to get away. I'm sure my dad will be thrilled to see Liz and I. I feel bad for leaving Jim at home, but I just need a break, plus he has to work. Plus then he gets a whole weekend where I'm not begging the guy for sex. That's a whole 'nother rant there though.
I guess I should get off my arse and do something productive, like finishing this load of laundry, or dressing Liz. She is quite content to stay in her dora nightgown though, so maybe I'll just allow that for the day. Not like we're going anywhere anyway.
Peaceeee |

| Hello my name is Christine... |
And I'm addicted to adobe photoshop!
I'm always searching the IV siggy makers board for new ideas. Check my latest creation that I just made!
Yes, yes, I know I rock. I've come a long way from my paintshop crap I made while pregnant with Liz.
Speaking of Liz, check out my rear facing chica last Saturday on the way to Aunt Britty's grad party.
Took much convincing from me for Jim to let me turn her back to RFing. I ended up showing him the youtube video about the dangers of forward facing too early and I think he finally understood. She's quite content looking out the rear window, so why not!
I've now had my cartilage done for a week. I was so afraid of getting it done, but really, there was nothing to be worried about. It felt like a pinch and then burned and then NOTHING! I can even sleep on it, and people say it hurts too much. Um, okay? I think it's purdy.
So this has been a quite boring day thus far. Hoping it'll rain later and the child and I can go splash in puddles. She loves rain and loves to climb up on the back of the couch to stare out the bay window to watch it rain.
By the way, this morning I was awaken by flashing red lights on our walls and a beeping sound. Freaked out, I looked out our bedroom window and saw a cop car in our driveway by the road, with his lights on. Surrounding our area on the road was a firetruck, EMT van, ambulance, and 2 fire marshall's trucks. I have NO idea what went on, but shortly after I started watching they all left. The Ambulance went up our side road, so guessing he was taking someone to the hospital. I'm curious if it was an accident or if a neighbor is ill or something worse. I'll have to ask the mother in law when she gets home from work, as she left like 5 minutes before I saw the lights.
So now that I've exhausted all my thoughts, I guess I'll go back to my mindless searching of things to do on photoshop! |
