Good Day


Yep, it’s a good day.
*It’s Friday.
*I won’t be putting in a busy 9 hour day at work
*I weighed myself this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks and lost 4 pounds.
*I put on a pair of jeans I hadn’t worn in a couple of years (they are one of my favorite pairs and are developing a small hole, so I was saving them – for what I have no idea) anyway, I put them on last night and they are really baggy.
*I bought the ring pictured last night. A pearl for my Hattie Pearl.
*Tomorrow is our annual cousin’s golf tournament. It’s probably my 6 or 7th year playing…it involves really terrible golf, lots of cheap beer, and even more laughing with my favorite girl cousins. I can’t wait.
Have to include a few fun HP facts before I go…
*When we pull into the driveway now she says, “hommmme” from the backseat.
*She has a bit of a shoe obsession and calls our flip-flops “faw fops”
*She stretches out with me after my runs. Too cute.
*When she sees me topless, she points at my boobs and says, “oh no”. Not so cute.
*If a car honks anywhere near her vicinity, she answers with a small “beep beep”
*She calls green beans “bean beans”.
*Her counting has declined a bit – she used to count to 6 (although usually missed ‘5’). Now she counts to 10, but does it 2,4,6,8,10. I have no idea how or why she learned this, but it is an obvious sign she’s a math genius, right?
Happy Weekend.

Snip Snip




We went for Hattie’s first haircut this weekend. On the drive over, I discussed what to expect and then I asked Hattie if she remembered Elmo’s World when he discussed haircuts. She smiled wide and nodded. I wish I had as much hope as she had at that point, but I was worried about a meltdown in the salon. I even brought the woobie tucked stealthly into in my purse fully thinking I would be breaking it out, hair clippings be damned. However, she proved me totally wrong! She gladly sat in the ‘car chair’ (why she picked the orange Home Depot car over the classic red Benz or BMW, I have no idea – but as long as she was happy – I was happy). The cut came out very cute and mama came out proud and relieved!
Enjoy your week. And Em, get to healing- stat.
