My life is so predictable

Internet? Meet my own personal hell. So here we are halfway through the week and you wanna know what edciting happened to me?? My dryer broke. And this is the pile of laundry that seemed to grow by the minute. I spent all last Saturday cleaning, but apparently the one thing I forgot to do was attempt to make a dent in this...and now I'm taking the punishment for it.

You see, laundry is the one household chore that I hate...H-A-T-E. Toilets, no problem....mopping, no problem... scrubbing dog slobber off the walls and furniture, no problem. But I'd rather poke both eyes out than to do laundry. It probably doesn't help that my mom did mine until I went to college, and then she still did it when I came home every weekend.

In other totally non related news, Ava is now pulling up like a champ. I'm guessing I can thank McDreamy for that.

My friend is having a party this weekend...sort of like old high school times. Her parents are going out of town, all the girls are invited and guys can come if they can stomach it. I imagine ames like asshole and 3 man will surely be played and I'm really excited. The only thing not allowed is 20/20. God thinking about that stuff makes me want to puke.

Rock on y'all

Date Night and Karoke

Well hubby and I had a "date" last night, if you want to call it that!! We try to go out on our own at least one night a week, but since my parents have been in Florida for over a month, we haven't much of an opportunity to get out. I guess before I go any further, I need to take a step back. He and I are very social people, and before we got married and before the baby we went out with friends ALOT. Obviously things have slowed down with the baby, so we really do try to have at least one night a week where it's just us, even if it's just for a couple of hours.

So getting back to the evening...I call it a date, but really we just went to Applebees, or as I call it "Crapplebees" as I'm not really fond of the food. They do, however have super happy hour prices and killer macaroni and cheese. We live in a pretty small town and there aren't a whole lot of options, but we go there because we always see people we know and it's good to catch up. As so many other nights have gone, we sat and chatted and had a few drinks, and then it was someones idea to go to another place for Karaoke (okay, I'm guilty, it was my idea). I'm really not a mean person...but watching these people sing is like my very own live version of the American Idol auditions. Too much fun!!!

I got to sleep in this morning...something that I don't get to enjoy very often, and then it was back to the daily grind as a SAHM...although one major piece of my morning was missing! They won't be home until late tonight so we will go get her first thing in the morning...and we're going to take advantage of another free night by going to dinner with some friends of ours. But don't think for a second that I am not counting down the minute where I get to plant kisses on those deliciously chubby cheeks!!! Being out of the house helps because I'm not sitting here thinking about how much I miss her.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend....we got some snow last night, and the frigid Arctic temps are right around the corner. Sitting by the fireplace is starting to sound better by the minute!!

Florida pics coming soon!!

Do you know what I hate??

When you go to post your new entry and you hit the wrong button and everything that you have been working on for 30 minutes is GONE....so, since I don't have another 30 minutes to type what I just typed, you will get the shorthand version. Watch out folks, this is a good one!

1. Sick all weekend, got what baby had last week. No sleep because baby doesn't sleep...baby gets better, mommy gets worse, no sleep continues

2. Taking trip to Florida with baby on Friday for much needed R&R with parents

3. Husband works alot, gone alot on weekends...feel like single mom sometimes...blah, blah, blah...feeling sorry for myself because according to a reliable source, today is the most depressing day of the year. See...there's your excuse!!

4. Scared baby will throw gigantic tantrum on plane...need to make sure Xanax is in carry on, not checked luggage

5. Know baby will charm the pants off of flight team...number 4 may become null and void.

Basically, I just saved you a bunch of boring jabber, so maybe we should thank Blogger for not publishing my last post.

On a positive note....even on a bad day this makes everything worth it

New Babe in Blogland

Well…I’ve finally done it, I’ve jumped on the bandwagon AGAIN. First it was MySpace, and now this. My computer has been my best friend since I stopped working in March 2006 to become a SAHM, and I feel that I owe it to those blogs where I'm constantly lurking to make an attempt at my own. I already regret that I am just now getting around to doing this. If I had known 2 years ago what a blog was, we wouldn’t be having this conversation now. Since I don't get along great with the baby book, I'll attempt to chronicle her life now as we move toward the stages of toddlerhood and the possibility of another baby.

I promise to make an attempt to make these posts funny and interesting but most of the time my life is pretty uneventful. I have a perfect baby, a wonderful husband, and a lazy dog….what more could a girl ask for!!

Until then fellow bloggers….
