Friday Fun Facts – The Picking-Up-Where-We-Left-Off Edition
May 1st, 2009
* I bought Maddie a xylophone at Target yesterday. She loves to make “meekick,” and I thought her little head would explode from happiness when she saw the xylophone. Apparently, I was only engaging the “fun mom who loves to make her kid happy” side of my brain. This morning, as she makes her “meekick,” I’m completely in touch with the “never buy your kid annoying toys, you idiot!” side of my brain. Sweet 8 pound 5 ounce baby Jesus, that toy is annoying.
* I’m finally on the mend from the Sinus Infection from Hell plus Pinkeye. It’s so nice to feel good again.
* Tomorrow morning, my bff from high school and I are roadtripping down to San Marcos. As my anniversary/mother’s day/birthday gift, Gerald gave me a trip to go shopping and spend the night in a hotel where there are NO XYLOPHONES. Also, there are clothes to buy! Yay!
* Gerald’s parents will be here on Monday. His mom has to have surgery in Dallas, so they’ll be staying with us beforehand. We thought they were coming up last weekend, so we spend the entire weekend cleaning. They had to postpone the surgery, but at least my house is clean. Now all we have to do is tidy up before Monday. Score!
* My dad’s birthday was Wednesday and we’re celebrating tonight. I’m making his favorites: beef stroganoff and spice cake with cream cheese frosting.
* I got some shorts on clearance at Target yesterday and they’re a size 14. That’s EIGHT sizes smaller than I wore last summer. It’s surreal. I’m only eight pounds away from my surgeon’s goal for me. I was telling Gerald that I’d be ok with not loosing anymore weight. I feel good right here. I want plastic surgery to chop off all the saggy/wobbly bits, but I feel good at this size.
* I regularly voluntarily take the stairs at work now. Two flights, even. Unthinkable!
Wow. You’d think that the Friday Facts would be more interesting after such a long absence from posting.
You’d be wrong.

They ARE interesting, and it sounds like things are going really well for you. Am jealous!
I’m so glad you’re feeling better/still alive and kicking.
Great news about the weight/size stuff. Being comfortable is such a nice feeling. I can’t wait until I get there.
Eight sizes…Wow. Nice work. That’s a whole person!
I’m glad you’re feeling better
I’m just happy you’re back. Enjoy your weekend sans xylophone!!
The minute I read xylophone I thought, “what the hell was she THINKING?”
Never, ever buy a toy that makes noise. It’s just NOT worth it. Those toys belong at the babysitters or Grandmas!
Congrats on the size 14! That is AWESOME!
Have fun with the BFF!
HUGS!
