Helloooooooo
I met a friend for early drinks. Then spent 90 bucks at whole foods. Now I'm home watching a Sesame Street bedtime DVD with Maggie and eating popcorn.
Ready to rumble.

Turned out great. We didn't hire entertainment and left it pretty unstructured. I made magic wands (wood dowels with puff balls glued to the end), put out some crayons and sticker, and blew up a bunch of balloons. The kids loved it. And they all went apeshit over the cake pops.
MC decided not to blow the candle out this time, but more like, put it out with her face. Video posted shortly.

Herro. I'm washing our bedding and touching up my gold fingernails. I'm excited to watch Zooey on SNL tonight. I know she can be kind of annoying, but I still love her. I am also about to go through some of our documents to get our tax stuff started. I am determined to get it done early this year.
I am like, the epitome of a 20-something living out her youth in a blur of non-stop crazy spontaneous excitement.
Since getting married I can't stay up past 10 so I won't see it but we DVR SNL so I'll have to watch it tomorrow. New Girl is my new favorite show right now.
Heelllloooooooooo!
I'm watching Paul and eating pb&j. I made a cake and the dog peed on my favorite skirt. She's a jerk. She RARELY pees inside and never on stuff.
How are you doing? You seem like you're more positive about your relationship lately. I'm rooting for you. Is that weird?
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.

Not weird. Yes, I'd say we both feel more optimistic. Still have a long way to go but we are doing the work in counseling and I feel much more like I WANT it to work than I did a month or two ago. Marriage is hard.
And being an adult sucks. It's a terrible combination.

I'm glad things are going better for you Kristen. You know we'll all love and support you no matter how things turn out.
I'm here working on homework.
Emmett's party was today and I am exhausted. He was adorable with his little cake. He also got 5029384 million presents and all he wanted to play with were the bows or the cards.
There were only like 5 kids at his party (mostly adults) and they were loud and screaming and have me determined not to have a 2nd until Emmett's 3.
My friend is no Hezz but she paper raped some adorable stuff for the party. I wish I had the talent for that kind of stuff.

I slept way late, and have been on the couch in my pj's all day. I still kinda feel like zombie poo. But I'm drinking delicious wine anyway
And we're watching Contagion. Movies like this freak me the foff out, man
That makes me really happy to hear, Kristen. I feel like the wanting is half the battle.
We had a nice, low key day. Made breakfast, hung around the house and played, went out to lunch with friends (Cali wore Those Shoes, fyi), took a family walk to the riverfront and played in the park. Now Sean is napping and I'm trying to decide what's for dinner. Sean refused to nap until almost 5 so I'm a wee bit worried about bed time.

And I am so happy pinching the tip worked Kristen.

Between the two of us (me and Fran, not me and Ian), we've consumed two bottles of wine and one stick of butter tonight.
I'm glad things are moving in a positive direction, KB. Slow and steady.
Owen has been protesting naps lately too. Sucks.
You awesome as well Linds. I want to hang out with all of you again. Like weekly.

No matter how late Ian goes down for a nap, he still goes to bed close to the usual time.*
I say this despite the fact that he's still going strong 40 minutes past his bedtime.
If we win Powerball tonight, the commune's on me. I'll take suggestions.

Sorry. The winning ticket is on our fridge.
I gave tons of my clothes and a coat away to a girl that works for me that I know has no money. I was going to sell them but that would take way more energy/work and I'd rather just give them to someone that needs them.
More kid parties. Today was at a My Gym. Tomorrow is at a My Gym. It's like Groundhog Day over here. It's actually very nice but the party is stupidly structured. It's like 50 min of play, they then feed them quick as hell then let them play again. I've been to a lot of parties and it's always play for the 1st hour then half hour for pizza/cake. The kids are programmed to then go home after the eating. They had to clean them all off before letting them back into the play area which would normally be the parents responsibility on the way out. Also, then how are you supposed to get your kid out of there after being let back in to play??? So annoying.
We went to Red Lobster when B came home. It was foffing 5:30 when we got there and there was a FORTY-FIVE MINUTE WAIT. At 5 foffing 30. Then we went to a Charlie Browns and couldn't even get a spot. We luckily called another CB's and put our name in so when we got there it was only about 15 min. I love northern jersey. I normally love where I live because everything is here. But anywhere near Paramus down to Hackensack on a saturday evening is packed like Lady Gaga decided to come in for a some spinach dip at Houstons. I also realized when we sat down and were handed a Valentines Day special menu that they must be getting in on the V-day crowd that might be celebrating today.
B fell asleep reading to E so I'm downstairs watching more GH from January to catch up.
