Bits and Pieces
November 19th, 2008
I took Maddie to get a haircut yesterday. She still has that fine, thin baby hair and it was driving us both nuts. Her “bangs” were down past her nose and I had to put them in a “hair fountain” ponytail every day just so she could see. I decided to just bite the bullet and get her some real bangs. She looks adorable! I’ll take a picture and post it later today.
Tomorrow’s Maddie’s Thanksgiving Feast at preschool. I get to go up and have lunch with her and her class.
She and I are leaving either Friday or Saturday to go down to my in-laws. We’ll stay through Thanksgiving, with Gerald flying down Wednesday afternoon. I’m really looking forward to it. The family hasn’t spent much time with Maddie since August and she’s already changed so much. Her language has exploded and her “pretend” play has skyrocketed. She’s just so much fun these days.
Remember how I bought clothes as a normal store? Well, I got a sweater, tank and jeans at Old Navy. I wore the outfit for the first time on Sunday and managed to put a big ole hole in the thigh of my jeans. Since I’m only going to be able to wear them for a month or two, there was no sense in replacing them. Instead, I got some patches at the fabric store and patched the hole. I used butterfly patches and put a few more on the jeans to try and make them look like it was intentional. It looks like ass, but whatev. I wore them yesterday and no one pointed and laughed, so I’m calling it “good enough.”
I realize that this is possibly the most pathetic post ever written, but it’s all I’ve got. Take it or leave it, you judgmental bastards.

I’ve been meaning to tell you the same about your pants- since they are practically disposable these days you don’t have to worry!
Ha ha, not all our posts can be lovely.
Can’t wait to see photos of Maddie’s new “do”. It sounds cute.
Oh no, putting a hole in new pants is exactly something I would do. The patches sound like a great idea. You can buy pants with stuff like that on them anyway, so why not.
I bet the haircut is adorable!
I love all your posts, silly! You’re never boring.
I agree with Amber.
And I have several pairs of jeans with butterflies, flowers, or other pretties on them. I am sure yours just look in style.
Looking forward to seeing the new Maddie pics.
I remember all my jeans having cute patches on them when I was little. But now that I have kids I just throw the jeans away when they get a hole. Hmmm… maybe time to get a little more industrious.
where are my pictures?
PICTURES!
Where are they??
