So, You Think You're So Cute!



Brandon has wanted nothing but 'boob' today. He whines if he doesn't have it. He whines if he lets go for a second or two. He does nothing but whine. He is now looking at me with a "Why did you make me stop, while you write about me?" look. Aw gees, I need a moment too!

These shots were taken on the bathroom floor. Yes, Brandon too, whines when he is not in my presnece. *sigh*

Finally New Pics Will Update

First, we started Brandon on solids yesterday. He ate 2/3 of the bowl. I am so proud of him. Well, the mixture was more milk than anything. I wouldn't even say it was really solid. It was very watery. I don't think I mixed it right. Right now, he is asleep. When he wakes, we will try again.
Second, my shiny new hair colours. My friend, R dyed it blonde then put in light blonde and brown highlights. It looks awesome!
I just got an email to attend a CGA orientation. Too bad I cannot go. Lee works Friday night and it is also the day before my sister-in-law's wedding. So, there would be no relative to babysit. And Saturday is the wedding. I feel very screwed. I would have liked to attend.

I had a dream, last night, more likely this morning, that I was back in high school. And art was on my scheduele. I can't even draw a stick man. I remember being in some kind of philasophical class then skipping my next class, amazingly was art, by staying in the current class I was in. Eventually, the teacher had to ask me to leave. I went upstairs to find my next class, but I was lost. Then I woke up.

Oh, we got new furniture yesterday. A swanky new solid oak table that seats 6, plus it extends further. It came with a buffet and hutch, so now I have a place to put my wine glasses and fancy china. Yay!

Crappy Day but Nice Surprises


The day started with promise but so far this.

I do not like my moms group. No one talked to me. I was the only one who was not talking in a little group durring socialize time. I felt very left out.

Well, since that was a bust, who knew where the rest of the day will lead.

But to my surprise, Brandon learned to llift his head up while he was on his front. What an awesome boy! He can even look around and smile. He even tried to crawl a bit. Way to go over-acheiver!

Then, I made something called cuttlefish for supper. It was disgusting. The texture was rubbery. I could not eat my dinner. Lee and I must go out for burgers while we shop for a dining room table. I'll let you know how that goes,

The Wrong Size Calapsable Sunglasses (with UV protection)

Let me tell you about my day.

First, I go out to find Brandon an outfit for Lee's sister's wedding next week. There are no formal outfits in Brandon's size other than Christining Outfits. Basic formal outfits start at 12months. So, I compromise and buy a 12month outfit that is clearly too big for my son. Mom, said she would be glad to hem it down to fir Brandon. Fine.

Next, I walk back to the car, I am about to put Brandon in his carseat and I notice, on the stroller, a pair of baby sunglasses I saw and put on Brandon to see how cute he would be with sunglasses. Well, I must've put them on the tray and forgot about them. I walked out of the store without paying for them. Dear God, I am now a thief! I kept them. They are cute and they are just a pair of plastic sunglasses (with UV protection). They probably were only $2 or $3 anyways. Besides, the alarm didn't go off cause there was no tag on them. Okay? Okay.

So far, so good. Wait for it.

Lastly, I come home this afternoon and find...my dining room table has calapsed. It caved in in the middle. Right now, it is being suspended by the two chairs that happened to be there, otherwise, I'm sure it would be on the floor. Yeah, not too thrilled about having to buy a dining room set right away. Can't really afford it right now. But I guess life doesn't care about, "Can't afford it right now."

Does anyone know where to buy a good, sturdy, reliable, wood dining room set that will seat 6 or more people? For cheapish? And not IKEA. I don't have a problem with IKEA, I just don't want IKEA for a my dining room.

Quick Update

I have been, well, rather lazy of late. I haven't had the urge to update my blog.

A quick note, this weekend, I started Brandon a babybook. Yes, I have become a Scrapbooker. And I enjoy it. I am rather good at it too. I started out with 12 pages for the book. That will have to do for now. While I am doing my course, I do not need a pleasant distraction. There are plently enough to go around.

Speaking of my course, I am quite nervous actually. I have major assignments to do each week, plus 2 discussions I must participate in for marks. Holy shit! And most of the material for FA4 is from the CICA handbook. Most of this course is theory. It's not supposed to be. What the hell! I thought it was going to be more...you know...accounting.

Anyways, another update to come soon.

Anyone who was nervous about school or being smart and getting good grades, I could use a pep talk.

Old Friends

My friend Corey.
Corey eating some gelato. Corey and I in Organic Roots.
Okay, okay, so I went trigger happy with the camera.

Tonight I got to see my friend Corey. I haven't seen Corey in over 5 years. We had quite a bit of catching up to do. (No kidding!) And you know what I realized? I missed Corey. I missed hanging with him. We used to hang in coffee shops everywhere, and we could talk about anything and nothing. It was comfortable. It still is. Being with him tonight, was like nothing had ever changed. I love friendships like that.
