Update-o-rama

September 8th, 2009

Thank you all for the supportive and encouraging comments on my last post. You’re the reason I love the internets.

Gerald’s recovering really well from his surgery. He went back to work today, as a matter of fact. He’s handling the extreme lifestyle changes so much better than I did. He hasn’t cried ONCE, people. He’s been pissy as all get-out, but not weepy or pathetic. He’s also already lost the same amount of weight in two weeks that I lost in the first month. I’m not sure whose idea it was that men should lose weight so easily, but I’d like to punch them in the ‘nads.

We took Maddie to get a haircut yesterday. She’s got very thin, fine, soft hair and I can’t keep it out of her face. I’ve tried every ponytail holder known to mankind and they all slide out in a matter of minutes. So, we decided to get a chin-length bob. She lost about six inches of hair and aged two years. I swear she looks like a little kid now. My little baby is all gone.

    Holy shit! You aren’t kidding about the haircut aging her. I’m in shock. I am never cutting my kid’s hair. Ever. Thanks for cementing this decision for me.

    Glad to hear G is doing well.

    glad to hear that Gerald is doing so well.

    And I can’t believe how much a haircut ages a person. Goodness! It is adorable though!

    I’m glad Gerald is doing so well! And I can’t believe how old your kid is! But the haircut is super cute on her.

    SUCH a cute new haircut. Re: your twitter about pediatrician – will be thinking about you.

    Glad Gerald is doing well. Yes, it sucks that men lose weight so much easier. Makes me want to kick my hubby every time he does it.

    OMG she is ADORABLE!!! Those cheeks are to die for. And the haircut just accentuates them.

    So glad Gerald is doing well!!

    Oh, she’s so stinking cute. I can’t believe that she wasn’t screaming her head off…I think my kid will be. That and getting rid of the mullet through sheer force of will are the only two things keeping me from the kid-salon.
