Pedicures....

So, while I was getting a pedicure today I was thinking about writing a blog about them. Then, as I was leaving I fell into the the pedicure tub and decided that falling definitely sealed the deal.

First, I decided I hate pedicures. It's sad, I know. I LOVE the end result, I love going with friends, but I hate how long they take and I hate the process. It takes too long, I get antsy, I can't really relax. But, the worst is the scrubbing and massaging... Ugh, I am just too ticklish. I always politely warn them that I am really ticklish. They usually just smile, but then they tickle me anyway and I can't control it. My leg kicks away or my toes curl up, and now they are just annoyed with me...

And last, today as I was leaving I didn't realize the side arm raised so I tried to hurdle the tub with my wallet, phone & empty Starbucks in hand. And then CRASH! I fell into the empty tub. And the stupid Starbucks cup had to make a loud crunching sound as my ice flew everywhere. Just loud enough so everyone in Totally Nails would totally look over at me.

It was awesome. It's probably karma b/c I laughed so hard yesterday when Mandy told me she fell on her bike & was on the ground still stuck to her pedals (I'm laughing again just thinking about it). Alright thats all I got.

P.S. I got tiger stripes on my toes. They look totally ghetto fabulous.


Just like to say that parenthood is the most wonderful & terrifying thing in the world.

A few reasons why I love my Hubs



1. He never cares what we eat for dinner. Sometimes I want to cook something great, sometimes we just have bagels or a bowl of cereal. And sometimes I don't want to cook anything & he is always fine with that too. He will whip up his famous breakfast for dinner or his special noodles (AKA ramen).

2. He has a core group of good guy friends. I love this b/c I also have a core group of good girlfriends. So he understands what being a good, loyal friend is about.

3. He is hilarious. Yes, sometimes we make fun of people, but they are strangers and it isn't to their face (yikes, is that worse?!). Trust me, it is funny.

4. I am a morning person (he is a night owl) and at night I am a GROUCH. He knows this and is always sweet about it. He is quiet and whispers to me things like "babe, are you hungry? Want some noods?" (Yes, I am usually asleep when he asks me this, but it's the thought that counts.

5. He is handy. A guys guy. He can fix, install, repair anything.

6. He isn't a club guy. Sure, my hubs likes his beer, but he does not like clubs or dress codes or anything that is a "scene". He would much rather drink some beers around a fire pit or pool table then go out and stand amongst strangers listening to crap music.

7. He is sweet to me. He worries about me if I don't answer the phone. He doesn't like me to drive to certain areas. He doesn't want me to ever stay the night alone if he can't be here. He protects me.

8. He is a good dad. Watching him with baby J melts my heart.
9. He is generous. He will always help people out. I love that about him.

10. He is cute. =)

Munch is Munching


So, baby J has tried watermelon & sweet potatoes so far. The watermelon we give to him in one of those net things and he loves it. I'm not so sure about the sweet potatoes. By the way, are sweet potatoes - yams? Are they the same? I made the baby food myself, but when I bought the potatoes they were called "organic garnets." Hmm... well my mom said I bought the right ones. Anyways, he lunges for the spoon, almost gags himself he wants it so bad, and then once he has some in his mouth it is almost like he is being electrocuted. Sorta. I just can't tell if he likes them or not. We have tried them for about 4 nights now. He usually will take about 5 bites. And 5 bites gets EVERYWHERE, his forehead, his hair, up his nose, everywhere. I think we will do peas next.
