Attention book club members, I have finished the book. In fact, I finished it more than a month before the scheduled book club date. I know all those polite reminders that "you have enough time to get the book finished" have been directed at me!
To my other two dedicated readers, sorry to bore you with the news.
Thanks for all the comments on the last post. Yes, my 11.5 month son is over 27 pounds! Lets just say Derek and I are always complaining about sore backs. It is a good thing that he has started walking, he's up to 10 steps. I guess we should get around to baby proofing...
And here are the highlights from Easter. I expect comments on my expert taste in picking out his Easter attire. Another mom that deserves props, Pam with Payt's awesome argyle ensemble!
- I've arrived! Yesterday I applied a full face of makeup using one arm and holding a 27+ pound child in the other. The only flub, Van did manage to grab the mascara wand.
- I'm in the early planning mode of Van's 1st Birthday Party. Here is the cake I'm going to make, because I ate one (or two or three) Hostess Cupcakes every day throughout my pregnancy.
- March Madness is much less stressful when you forget to fill out a bracket. I have nothing to lose!
- Spring is here, and I have a new white purse to prove it.
- I'm currently very disinterested in the bathroom remodel project that Derek and I have had on the schedule for this weekend. He is working hard in the bathroom, I'm working on my blog.
- I'm very proud of Jessica and her new love of asparagus.
- Van loves his godparents.
- I love Nasonex. I'm finally getting over this four month sinus infection.
- Stay tuned for Easter pictures.
I'm about to admit something so revealing that I fully expect my friends to treat me differently after reading this post.
I love Marshmallow Peeps. And if that isn't weird enough, my favorite time to eat them is when the package has been open for more than a week and they are a little stale and hard to chew. Ewww! I'm gross!
I wonder if there are any more Peeps left...
The top five reality TV shows that really need me as a contestant:
- Project Runway: Ok, so I don't know how to sew. But, I could make up for my shortcomings with the enthusiasm I would garner from working with Tim Gunn, plus my ability to arm a glue gun. My prediction for this season's winner: Jillian.
- When researching a link for this blog entry, I found the final Project Runway collections posted on the website. It has pictures from Sweet P, Rami and Chris, in addition to Jillian and Christian. Click Here to Look!
- 1 vs 100: When I watch this show, I never miss a question! No kidding, I would never need help from the mob.
- House Hunters: I can make countless witty comments about tacky wallpaper and terrible design choices. Plus, I can easily choose the house just out my price range. They always pick that one!
- Deal or No Deal: My philosophy, it is all money you never had. So if you walk out of there with $20 ($10 after taxes), you at least tried for the big bucks.
- Oscars: I think I can sport this dress, any thoughts?
These two devices could quite possibly be the reason why I haven't blogged since January 28. Above, you'll see my new iPod video (a Christmas trade-up from the Nano my husband gifted me) and my T-Mobile Dash (gifted to myself right before CES this year). It is really disgusting how weirdly attached I am to these little machines.
The obsession began with the Dash, as I needed a phone to keep up with my freelance Oklahoma Today gigs while on the road. First, it was cool because I could read my email. But later, I found that I could access Google Reader, websites, and more. I haven't put the thing down in over a month. Even though I haven't actually been blogging myself, I am up-to-date on reading all your blogs (all devoted 13 readers!).
My Dash love even postponed setting up the iPod video, which happened last week. Let me just say the world of Podcasts has been opened to me! It is really easy to get through a day of work when you have This American Life and the Dave Ramsey Show to entertain you!
But nothing can trump my love for this little guy. He has taken a liking to the Dash, plus drumming (especially during Rock Band) and eating (he even steals food from other kids as school). I also included a picture of Buddy, who helped me write this post. I'm sure he'll keep me on track for more regular postings.
