I looked into eyelash extensions and as much as I really, really want them, I am going to hold off. I didn’t know much about them except that they look a-mah-zing. But they run about $200. They take 1-2 hours to apply. They need to be filled every 3-4 weeks. Fills cost $50-100… I’ll just…
Today I feel… deflated. We had a great couple weeks with family visiting, and now it’s back to the grind. Hubby is working hard (and working late), Stevie is a grouch, I am just plain exhausted. Stevie’s speech therapist reported that things have not been going so well the last few sessions. We also got…
It’s quite difficult to get my makeup to look right after a jog because my face is bright bright pink for at least an hour. Stevie usually embarrasses me when we go out in public, but having guests stay in our home for a week really made me realize how ridiculous he is. Let’s just…
Well, I did it! Chopped off all. that. hair. Here are some ridiculous selfies from right after my appointment! I wasn’t that scared going in, because I had already gone though a range of emotions and fears over this decision. So silly that I get all tied up over hair. Seriously though? Knots in my…
I have accidentally stolen a case of Diet Coke on several different occasions, because I forgot it was sitting in the bottom of the cart. I have only returned it once. I’ve always wanted to try working as a camp counselor. Specifically for fat camp. I think it sounds so fun. I often fantasize about moving…
As much as I love to run in the mornings, I can talk myself out of it surprisingly easy. Paul & I eat cereal like every night. I really don’t like when baby boys are dressed like hipster girls. When I’m alone in the car, I drive a little too fast and listen to my…
Mother’s Day strangely brought up a lot of insecurities for me. You’re supposed to celebrate all your accomplishments as a mom, and all I could think about was everything that I was doing wrong. About 2 years ago, I stopped hoarding magazines. I used to save them all until I had cut out my favorite…
When my sister and I shared a bed growing up, if she so much as brushed against my arm, I would punch her as hard as I could in her sleep. Hey, I was just teaching her boundaries. Isn’t that what older sisters are for? So mean. I love not washing my hair for as long as…
I noticed the other day that the t-shirts I jog in are giving me a farmer tan. If I lived on a farm, this would be perfectly fine. Probably even expected. But in the grand city of L.A. I don’t even think it’s allowed! I’m pretty sure there are rules about that sort of things…
I broke my shopping diet. Relapsed. Spent $50 at Old Navy. It was a particularly stressful week and honestly, it felt soooo gooood. Stevie sat quietly while I tried on a bunch of clothes and that, in itself, was a miracle. Now I think that maybe if I was going to go to the trouble…
