Updates Galore

January 13th, 2009

1. I still need to link those of you that participated in the Six-Word Memoir writing. I’ll do it this week.

2. Maddie’s home! Maddie’s home! I’m thrilled, of course, but her homecoming wasn’t quite the Hallmark commercial moment I had expected. She was in dire need of a nap and burst into sobs about 2o minutes after getting home. She ignored her father and I in favor of her beloved and sorely missed toys, and then went down for a nap. Against her will, I might add. I’m about to wake her up, so let’s all hope for a happy girl who’s glad to be home.

3. Yesterday I bought myself a new outfit from the junior’s dept at Target. Did you read that? JUNIOR’S DEPT, people. There’s the plus size dept, the women’s dept and the JUNIOR’S DEPT. Granted, I’m the fattest junior ever, but STILL. I’m wearing an XL without any numbers in front of it. I honestly never thought I’d see the day.

4. Maddie’s birthday is on Saturday and her party’s on Sunday afternoon. We’re having at one of those indoor bounce-house places. I really hope Maddie likes it. If not, I still plan on having a blast bouncing around in my outfit from the JUNIOR’S DEPT.

5. I’m thinking about having a crock-pot recipe exchange. I’m a lazy, lazy cook and I’m desperate for new and yummy crock-pot recipes. Later this week, let’s all share our favorite, k? Then we’ll have lots of new ones to try.

6. Thank you for all your comments yesterday. I was so happy to get each and every one of your comments. Even the inappropriate ones. *ahemShellyahem* You lurkers and bad commenters are just as welcome here as the frequent comments… although, if I’m forced to choose, I’m gonna have to go with the inappropriate commenters. Just how I roll.

    Wait, are you saying WE GET TO JUMP TOO? Oh, it is ON.

    Aw hell yeah, we get to jump. What kind of chump-ass party do you think I’m throwing???

    Inappropriate??? But I thought you loved my boobies!!!!

    sniff sniff

    I’d love a crock pot recipe extravaganza as I am not only a lazy cook, but not a very good one at that.

    Go you with your clothing from the Juniors section! I haven’t had anything from Juniors for at least 10 years.

    You aren’t going to tell me your tiny baby girl is about to turn TWO are you? Because I won’t hear of it.

    Juniors? No shit? That rocks!

    I am all over the crock pot recipe exchange. We did a whole little crock pot cookbook for J’s nephew when he got his first apartment. I’ll have to see if I can find that.

    I think I missed commenting yesterday. So sorry. And crock pot recipe exchange… hell yes!

    I posted to you on Twitter, but Zachariah is always so bad here after coming home from Grandparents’ house. So I always prepare for a few days of what I like to call “Grandma Detox”. It just takes a few days for him to know that he’s not the center of the universe (like he is at Grandma’s). So I’m just very strict with him. Usually after a day or two, he’s back to his old loveable self.

    An outfit from Juniors? Wow, I can’t remember the last time I shopped in that department for myself. Way to go girl!

    Maddies party sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

    I LOVE crockpot recipes. I use my crockpot a lot. I’ll drag out all my favorites. Let me know when you’re ready for them, and I’ll get posting.

    I am all over that recipe exchange idea! I rock the crock pot quite often now that I have 2 kids.

    The Target Juniors department has some awesome clothes. So glad you get to partake!

    Juniors! WOWEEE!!! Awesome!

    Hope Maddie was happier after her nap, lol, I remember being “shunned” by the kids when they were little. Much as our cats shun us whenever we leave for a few days. Shunning. It’s an art.
