I'm alive!
Oh yes, it's true... I'm actually posting. No need to pinch yourself.
Not a whole lot has really been going on since the last time I was around. Well, ok, thats not entirely true. Alot has been going on, but nothing very intersting to 3rd parties. Lets see...
~My daughter turned six last Wednesday, complete with ice cream cake and trick candles. I can't believe she's that old already. In fact, I refuse to believe it and you can't make me. And the amount of gifts she got was ridiculous. Seriously. Ridiculous. There isn't anything that she wanted that she didn't get except for a Polly Pocket amusement park thing. $30.00 for a Polly Pocket accessory is just not my cup of tea. It was still a good day.
~My little pumpkin also quit being a big wimp (after about 2 years) and got her ears pierced. They decided to do both ears at the same time (good thinking on their part) but one girl went just a split second before the other so the kiddo shrieked and moved her head and the other girl had to chase her ear because her earring was only halfway in. She cried for a minute or two then rode the carousel in the mall and was perfectly fine. She looks so adorable with her shiny little star earrings. :)
~Saturday night I went to a Spice Of Life Party. I was a Spice Of Life virgin before then. For those of you who still are, it's kind of like a tupperware party, only with sex stuff instead of tupperware. Like an in-home porn shop...with product presentation and games. And it's for girls only. It really was tons of fun. The main reason I went to the party was to meet my good friend Jeremie's girlfriend (finally, after about 1 and 1/2 years) and their baby. He's even cuter in person! But anyway, like I said, I went out to meet my friend's girlfriend and wouldn't you just know that I would pick one of the most akward situations to meet someone to do it. At least his sister and mom were there. That made it alot less... weird. But other than that, I have come to the conclusion that I need alot more girlfriends so I can have a little "girls night out" party. Good stuff.
~I finally let the little one ride the bus home today. I have been picking her up after school since the whole "drop the wrong kid off at my house" tomfoolery. I wasn't really enjoying that at all. First of all, there's construction (of course they waited for school to start before they began holding up traffic), which I hit to and from the school EVERY day. And it isn't that "slow down and go around" kind of construction, it's that "come to a complete stop and wait for up to 10 minutes depending on what they're doing that day because there's only one open lane and they have to flag people through" kind of construction. A 10 minute each way drive became a 20-30 minute each way drive. What a pain in my ass. Second, the parents that go to pick up their kids all seem to know each other because they have older kids, so basically if you have a first year student, no one talks to you except other first year student parents. Including me there were exactly 4. Cute.
~I got to hang out with my best Amy the other day. I don't really see her too much these days because, not only do I live an hour away, she's going to school and working... both full time. So when she's not doing one of those 2 things, she's doing homework or sleeping, and if she's not doing one of those 4 things, she's too tired to do anything. It really sucks living so far away from pretty much everyone I know. Yeah, I talk to people on the phone and online or via e-mail, but none of that compares to quality personal time. Y'know what I'm saying? You can't exactly have memorable experiences when you have to worry about spelling or a bad signal. Totally not the same and hanging out.
~I found out today that someone I used to know is getting married. The one boy I thought would never get married. He once told me that he didn't even want to think about getting hitched until he was about 28... he's 5 years early. So now I have 3 married friends and 4 engaged friends. Well, 3 engaged friends and 1 engaged person I used to know (he hasn't been allowed to talk to me since he started dating her). Hmph! Another one bites the dust.
Aaaand that's about it for stuff worth mentioning. I can't exactly remember everything since the last time I posted since that was around WWII, but this will have to do for now.
