The Skinny


Warning: This post may be a bit discombobulated.
Kind of like my brain at the moment.

So here's the skinny. It's the Holiday season. I'm tired. I'm busy. And sometimes I forget to update my blog. Ok, it only happened twice (!) this week, but I'm pretty sure that it's going to happen a few more times this month. It's just the way the Christmas cookie crumbles.

It's snowing outside!

(My house, doesn't look like this.)

The stuff for my Holiday cards are all ready. Photos, check. Envelopes, check. Cool pen that makes addressing a hundred cards fun, check. Stamps, check. Now all I need is my lovely ladies to come over for a little Card Writing Party! Yep, to avoid the hours of bad TV I usually watch while addressing cards, this year I'm having some of my lovely ladies over for some noshing and chatting. Hopefully it will make the time (and the cards) fly by!

(Aren't these cute?!)

I haven't even started Christmas shopping. I think I know what I'm getting everyone, but it has yet to appear all prettily wrapped underneath my tree.

Wait, the tree has yet to appear too.

We have a jam-packed, action filled weekend. Tomorrow morning we're headed to No Coast Craft-o-rama, we go every year and I think that's where I'll find gifts for my brother's girlfriend and the Mrs. Clone. Then the Mr. will take LN to a puppet show at In the Heart of the Beast theatre. Which is conveniently located about two blocks from where the market is. Sweet! Sunday we have a birthday brunch for a sweet three year old friend of LN's and then I'm headed to the Mr.'s aunt's house to learn how to make a fun gift that I'll be giving out this year. Yay! Hopefully in there we'll make some cookies and maybe some fudge too. Yipee!

Now I'm off to make some Chicken Tetrazzini for my dear, dear friend who just had a darling baby girl yesterday. Welcome Baby J! The little lady and I get to go over for a visit post-nap. (Don't worry honey, I don't have the Baby Ya-Yas yet!)

So Happy Holiday Friday to everyone! Leave me a note and let me know what you're up to this weekend. Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be fun!

    Hey MP,

    We're going to the founder's Day at AUN today. The founder is the former VP of Nigeria. Later the Prof is giving some of his final presentations. On Sunday we do this thing called "Quiz Night" where we break into teams and someone is the moderator and comes up with questions and we play. Oh and I have to grade, grade, grade and prep... I cannot wait for Egypt.

Now You See Me, Later You Won't

Although I've been away from this space for quite some time I was surprised to see that people were still reading it.  Go me!  So, although I am not going to be blogging in this space for much longer, I'm going to leave it up for the time being.  If nothing else as a way for people to find me in my next space. Next space you say?  Yes, I'm moving.  When I started this blog things were very different from what they are now.  I thought we were moving abroad much sooner, I was not going to school and there were no definite plans for a second baby.  That being said, the last few months I felt like I was not able to really be comfortable in this space.  So I'm opting to move someplace else, under a different blog name and start again.  I really hope that you will move over with me; I've so enjoyed having you along for the ride! So, sometime soon I will post about my new digs.  As soon as I find the time to put something up over...

Lady in the Sky, With Broccoli

We've had a whirlwind, chaotic, hectic, exciting week.  It was a week of fixes, car naps, quick meals and heat.  Oh, the heat!  I finally feel like today we had the chance to tone things down and take a breath.  The Little Lady and I were left to our devices for the evening while the Mr. took a much deserved night off.  We had a light dinner and then went outside for our favorite pre-bed activity, Bubble Chasing.  (Well, she chases, I blow).  The following conversation ensued. Laying in the grass: MP: Hey LL, look at all those clouds! LL:  Yeah mom, clouds. MP:  What do you see up there?  I see bunny ears! LL:  They just puffy mama. MP: (Humph, this might not work...) LL:  Mama, I see Lady! MP: (Getting excited)  That's great, what's she doing? LL:  Lady in Sky, with Broccoli.  I like Broccoli! MP: Well, yes, it does look like broccoli.  What else do you see? LL:  Poop in a glass.  Ha...

A Confession

First let me come clean.  I'm pregnant. Now, let the next thirty-one weeks commence where I talk of nothing else except my growing belly, appetite and need for Cheetos.  Not really, but I will say this; I'm tired.  So tired that normal everyday tasks that should only take me a few minutes suddenly sit around, unfinished, for days at a time.  Examples?  The dishwasher, the dirty dishes, groceries (the non-perishable ones, duh), folding the laundry, making the bed.  I mean, there are much better things to do, like, stuff handfuls of popcorn in my mouth while watching all the episodes of Angel, in order.  Don't judge me, I am returning to school in a few weeks; maybe this is just me trying desperately to channel myself as a Freshman in college?  Who the heck knows.  What I do know that my "golden time," or nap time as it is commonly called, was once used to clean, cook, tidy up, rest and blog.  Well, you know how much blogging I've done o...
