In which I want to kick myself in the head.

I’ve borrowed my blog-naming convention from Hola Isabel today, because ever since I started reading her I’ve always have about a thousand blog titles starting with “in which” running through my head.  I rarely succumb to the temptation to post one, but this just seemed fitting.
So let’s just start with the fact that yesterday was [...]

I have a disease.

No, not that disease. This disease.

I can’t stop buying things for my child.  This, I justified, of course…because when we go out to Utah…and to Scranton…and even just around the corner to Groton…it’ll be nice to have a smaller, less HUGE stroller to navigate through airports and fit in the trunk with our luggage, etc.  [...]

Camper Becomes Surly

Today was good.  John was off to work at his new job (daytime for training) and so we missed him, but we found things to do.  Aside from the regular cleaning, etc.  I did find time to enter some recipes into my Weight Watchers online thinger.  I have no idea how people do it without [...]

Saturday up at the Outlets

Today we went up to the outlets.  I heart outlets.  As a matter of fact, I think that a major PRO for living anywhere is living with 30 minutes of the Banana Republic Outlet.  Sigh.  If ALL of my clothing could come from there, I wouldn’t cry at all.  Not even a little bit.  Sigh [...]

Bye Bye Blue Car

The car is officially sold.  I have very mixed feelings about it- mostly I’m just glad we had it available to help us when we needed a leg up.  It was my first little car and I loved it’s blue zippyness.  So I’m sad and glad.  Mostly just grateful.  We’ve had a good run together. [...]

Nothing, Really

Another Sunday.  Camper made it all the way through church today.  He was sleepy baby again today- which means now he’s screamy baby.  Anyone else have a colicky baby that makes you feel a wee like a bad Mom?  It’s like…if I were a good Mom I could get him to stop crying, right?  Well, [...]

Shopping and Playdates and Just Chillin’

It’s been a good couple ‘o days.  Poor John did make it to school and his test yesterday.  I think his back is healing, if only slowly.  I had a play date with Alicia and Spencer, and after visiting at their house a bit we went to the mall.  We walked around and did a [...]

Weekend

Because the boogie post seemed to get quite a lot of attention I thought I’d catch you all up.  Camper woke up this morning with the right nostril clear…left still encumbered.  So it leads one to wonder…where did that booger go?  Moving on.
This weekend has been good in some ways, bad in others.  Not BAD [...]

Most Triumphant

Today has been a slow one.  I woke up pretty much when John left (earlier than usual) and tried to go back to sleep, but ended up just putzing around the house wondering if the cramping I was feeling was going to escalate into anything exciting.  I did some laundry and then realised that I [...]

Saturday, No Baby Yet

As I’m cleaning out the fridge this morning:
“This cheese says ‘naturally aged six months for flavor.’ Do I have to factor that into the expiration date?”
The look my Mom gave me said that maybe I should blog that one….
So after no sleep last night I was a bundle of energy until AFTER IKEA…where we did [...]
