Fun Fact Friday: Pictoral Edition
* Maddie had her first hair cut yesterday. It was a spur of the moment decision. She was a champ! The only part she didn’t like was getting her hair sprayed down before the cut. Otherwise, she was totally oblivious to the whole thing. I had a moment of mourning the loss of the mullet, but it was fleeting. She looks adorable with her little bob. However, according to her dad, she looks like a boy. WHATEV, Gerald. WHATEV.
* Back story: Maddie likes to emulate me. Her favorite thing to copy is me leaving the house. She puts her “purse” on her arm, blows a kiss and leaves. Then she comes back and expects a great big “hi!” It’s adorable. Anyhow, we got her a chair yesterday and it’s got a handle on top. Can you see where this is going? She puts her little hand through the handle and blows a kiss and tries to drag that damn chair along with her. She’s completely insane.
* There was a hot air balloon festival in the next town over last weekend. Friday evening, they were testing the balloons for the sunrise rides or whatever, and I got some great pics with my telephoto lens. This is about 15 miles or so from our house, taken while standing in our backyard. Cool, huh?
* Maddie calls me “mama” now. The first time she did it last week, I almost burst into tears. It was the best damn sound I’ve ever heard.
* Speaking of… Maddie also calls things now. She calls our dogs, her blanket, her toys, whatever she can think of. I’m forever hearing “Peh peh!” (Pippin) or “Tig Geh!” (Tigger) or “MMMMM!!!” (Blanket (Yes, she calls her blanket “mmmm.)) It’s very cute.
Are all these facts going to be about my kid?? Sheesh!
* I get a pedicure once a month during the summer. The place I go does the BEST designs. Here’s the one I got last month and this is my 4th of July pedicure. Wicked cool, huh?
* I think I may be addicted to the internet/my MacBook. Therefore, I’m going on a self-imposed detox next week. We’re going to my in-laws on Wednesday and coming home on Saturday. I’m not taking my laptop, so no email, facebook or blogs. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have the DTs by day two.
* My surgery has now been moved to the end of July/beginning of August. The insurance coordinator at my surgeon’s office has her head in her ass. It’s taken her THREE WEEKS to submit my ppwk to the insurance company. And that’s after FOUR calls from me asking WTF is taking so damned long. I’m so frustrated!
* I’m going to a book signing on Saturday. One of my favorite authors is going to be a Border’s in Dallas. I’m going to ask her to sign a copy of one of her books for me. How lame does that sound? Whatev. I’m totally excited about it.
* Um, I’m out of facts. The End.

Cool toes! Also cool haircut on Maddie! She does NOT look like a boy. That is totally a girl bob.
is that chair from pb kids? If so, why is yours all puffy and comfy and mine looks like crap? did you add padding? if so, kudos to you for being a good mom. i suck. if not, shame on pb for upgrading their product a few months after i bought it.
lora - WHATEV! Like I’m going to spend $100+ on a chair from pb kids? I got this one from Target. It’s made out of bean bag stuff, so it’s super comfy, and the best part? $30.
Don’t get me wrong, I covet the pb kids version, but I just can’t justify the expense.
Oh, Maddie is so cute with her new haircut (totally a little girl cut), her bye-bye games (love when they do that), her cool new chair, and saying MAMA (Yes!).
Those are great photos of the hot air balloons.
Your pedicure is cool!
Sometimes being away from the Internet for a while is refreshing.
Too bad about the surgery being moved back. I hope they get their act together.
Have fun at the author event. That would be fun. Remind me sometime about her, I’ve been trying new authors/books lately. I have too many on my shelf right now, but I’ll be looking for new things in another month or so.
Have a fun weekend!
You forgot to mention your favorite word is WHATEV!
I guess it goes without saying, right?
Love the haircut, love the balloons, love the toes, I LOVE this post!
Have fun on vaca! We’ll miss you!
HUGS!

Adorable haircut!! I love hot air balloon festivals. We missed ours this year, since C was just 1 week old.
She is adorable! I love the Texas and American flag designs on your toes… I’ve never had a pedicure, but I’m thinking about it.
I loved this post! That’s all, really. Just thought all the facts were especially… Fun.
This comment feels lame now. Ah, well. SUBMIT anyways!
what a cutie your Maddie is!
Great pics. There’s something about Maddie that reminds me of my girl. I think it’s the big blue eyes maybe. And they have very similar coloring.
Plus, they’re both super-duper cute.
I love the toes, too.
