Monday Morning Coming Down...

Today is a bit of a weird day as I didn't really get rested this weekend, sick baby and all. Didn't really meet all of my personal goals for the weekend. But I did have some good times.

Exhibit A: Met up with college buddy, Maggie, and her new husband in town for lunch. They stopped on their way through to Louisville for some haunted adventures. She got to meet Bebe and I got to meet new hubby. Aces all around...with the exception of another friend not being present because she lives in a very far away place. We missed you! And we're thinking happy thoughts for you this week!

Exhibit B: Sunday Lunch at Bob Evans. We waited for a good 30 minutes for a table, but lunch was good and we got to order off the menu for Bebe for the first time. Homegirl likes her brocolli and apple sauce...and cheerios. Excellent salads at B.E.

Exhibit C: I went to a party! Granted, I missed the peak of the party and my good friend Shawn punked out. But I can say that I went to a party and had a beer and played some rock band with some entertaining library nerds.

Exhibit D: Even though Bebe was/is sick, she's still one of the happiest babies I know. Snotty, but full of fun and giggles and playfullness. I hope she stays like that forever and ever.

Exhibit E: I cooked! I made lost of veggie friendly meals on Sunday afternoon. It was great. Baked veggie medly and butternut squash soup. Killer. I had the medly on top of a baked potato with a nice glass of red wine. Perfect on a cold Sunday night.

Next weekend I have big plans. I don't know what they are yet, but they are going to be big. Maybe a trip to the mall or across town to Garden Ridge to look at Christmas decor! (Because Christmas is coming at us like a freight train and there isn't a damn thing we can do to slow it down.) Lilly already likes things that sparkle. She's like her Mama that way. The end.

Random things heard in my head....

"My Body, Myself, Oy. Heh, that'd be a funny/sad post."

"Damnit!" - whilst coughing.

"Whole milk, bread, lunch meat, breakfast things, Diet Coke, coffee, Jelli's dog food, lotion, oooo solid pack pumpkin, better grab some cans of that. Do i need a Halloween shirt? Nooooo. Do I want a Halloween shirt? Yes.... Just pick her up! Its late, she shouldn't be out, she's tired, just pick her up and she'll be happy. How can you ignore your kid?...please get out of my way" - while at Wal-Mart.

"Pumpkin pancakes!" - on what to make Lilly for her birthday breakfast.

"Totally going to get up in the morning to run." - evening mantra...every evening.

"Vacuum, sweep, mop, dust, dishes, laundry, make beds, bathe the dogs..." - constant list making for upcoming weekend visitors.

"Coolest person ever" - how I feel about Lilly when we play.

"Damnit!" - on forgetting to thaw the chicken for dinner last night.

"Why do you care if my baby has her birthday celebration one day later than the actual date?" - on stupid people

"Yes, I'm definately 10 years older than you people. The more I hear you talk, the more I feel it. And in what society is that considered public attire?" - thought before and after Anatomy/Physiology class.

"Nahhhh" - on actually making the pumpkin pancakes Saturday AM.

"You can do it, you can do it, you can do it" - talking myself into getting up to exercise this AM.

"No waaaaaaaaaay" - on learning that Mrs. Dugger is expecting...for literally the 19th time. That family is like a train wreck...I can't look away. They have that twinkle of inbreeding in their eyes.

"How is that even possible?" on viewing these images of Coco (Ice T's girl) on The Superficial.
