The Love Before The One

May 8th, 2008 · 9 Comments · grownup-ness, mostly me, womanness

To those who question my sanity, my husband has read and approved this post.
I was talking with a friend about ex’s and then another friend about trips and ex’s and yet somebody else about love and lovers, and thusly this post was born.

I count myself very lucky I have loved and been in love three times. This post is about love number two.

I met him on a Thursday. He was the only guy at the poetry reading wearing a suit. I thought that was odd. Turns out he worked for a law firm, he always came straight from work. When I remember when we met, I remember his smile. It was bright and eager. He was the brother of a friend who I thought the world of. She was not the type to do hook ups, he was not easily deterred. I made her a cheesecake for her birthday, his was the day after. That became his angle, ‘What did he have to do to get his own birthday cheesecake?’ I was young and freshly wounded. I had never really been pursued before. I was [Read more →]

Part III Peak Performance

May 7th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Cammy, randomness

*about this title I thought that was a cute play on words since apparently there are romance novels for NASCAR fans. I was like Seriously? so it was either that or Spies, Lies and Naked Thighs, but there was no spying in my weekend so there you go…

moving on to my early week:
Monday Jerry took the day off to recover from the massive amounts fermented beverages he consumed. Went to lunch with his best friend then went to hang out before going to see Iron Man, and then apparently hung out after as well. I, however went to work, came home with an extra four year old and did the mom thing until 8:30 when the extra four year old got picked up and Cammy decided it was a good time to [Read more →]

Part II You’ve Got Male

May 7th, 2008 · No Comments · Friends, funtime

We woke up Sunday morning and Bri and I were watching food network as we do sometimes, and when Jerry and Cammy came down to join us they decided that the Orange Cranberry Scones Barefoot Contessa was making on TV would be a good thing, and they were right.

After a quick trip to the grocery Cammy and I whipped up a double batch pretty quick, and froze some of them for later. She was extra helpful, she did a great job mixing the icing for drizzle, cutting heart shaped scones, and after I made some bacon and OJ she was pretty happy with her morning. Not quite waffles, but close. We had a lazy kinda morning, with breakfast not actually happening til [Read more →]

Weekend Pleasure Seekers Pt I

May 7th, 2008 · No Comments · Friends, funtime, lazy post recap, randomness

It was a long lazy weekend – designed to make the hubby happy, and apparently it was a rousing success. Thus this will be a long lazy post.. broken into parts each posted through out the day… And I still hvaen’t finished my pictures, I forgot all of my editing software is on the laptop I gave my mom and I don’t get it back til tomorrow so - this will be the last week of light picture posting. tis the price of loving your mother.

Anywho.

Friday we hung light – put Cam down at a decent hour. Then my girls came and kidnapped me with and Bri, who seems to have some ‘mommy’s gonna go have some fun’ radar and wakes up EVERY time I get ready to go have a good time- so we took her with for some late night Cocktails and appetizers at Cheesecake factory. Yes I am the chick who walks into the restaurant at 11 p.m with an infant for drinks.

Jerry was tired so he was asleep before [Read more →]

So Bria and I have a difference of opinion. She thinks that honing her RAZOR sharp teeth on my chest is a good thing.

Alas I do not.

Shes very upset by my decision as that means I am mostly pumping and feeding her by bottle. Only letting her breast feed late nights when shes not thinking about biting and I’m not thinking about bottles.

This I can see is not oging to be the easy thing it was with Cammy. Oh how I miss being rejected by my infant.

almost a post almost a meme

April 25th, 2008 · 4 Comments · I am too lazy to pick a category, mostly me, parenting

I’m the chick that you see rockin out in her car to 80’s music and jill scott. I will dance on tables in bars. I don’t wear a watch but I would like to, I miss my bling - I was really into interesting watches. More like Bracelets with a watch involved in some way.
It has taken me seven months to get my insurance company to cover the birth of my second daughter.
yeah. I’ve had THAT kind of day.
But I was really really nice to the lady on the phone , and she really really worked hard to get it fixed for me. shes the third person I talked to, and the only wone who callled back when she said she would and really really tired. So it was easy to not blow my top about the whole thing.

So today I hired a designer for the Pinxit logo,(pronunced \piŋk-sit\) picked out a website to have customized, registered for class, still gotta finish the registration process- and get cleared for online school stuff, I plan to finish the business account setup, get set up to post the pentax to craigslist this weekend or ship it off to be priced to be purchased buy an onlie retailer. I got some nifty books in the mail, got some cool books to start the refresher process. and excitely its all coming back to me. I talked with the professor who teaches the class I want to take and sent him some samples of my work and he said I did good work but he could definately teach me some things, and that makes me very excited.
I’ve banged out the text for the website - have a few friends looking it over giving me some feed back. Going to work on a business card once I get the logo completed.
there are countless gadgets and things - honestly USEFULL things I need to pick up - most of them however are online purchases, and I hate paying for shipping multiple times from the same place.. Totally sucks.
I need to plan some fun time for cammy and me. I had planned on getting some flowers for hte yard - but we start paying for school - for the both of us - next week and florals are the first thing on the budget chopping block, maybe I’ll get some seeds for us.
Crap I bet that includes my herbs for this year.
Being responsible sucks major.
On a way more fun note.
its a beautiful day outside and I am about to get out in it.

Love ya internets!
