Walking Shoes

Another milestone in Baby Girl's life has occurred. Today she went to school in real, true blue, walking shoes. She has been wearing moccasans or slippers to date. Now that she has been welcomed to the walking world she required hard core soled shoes. That and her teacher asked that I buy her some cuz her little feet were getting cold in this blizzard type whether we have been having in Los Angeles. The most interesting thing I found about buying children's shoes is that they are not any cheaper than adult shoes. I looked in the store and online and kiddie shoes are going for $50 a pop. And the kicker is they only wear them for about 3 months before they need another. Thank goodness for Nordie's shoe sale. They had sold out of all the girls sizes I needed so I ended up buying Baby Girl a pair of grey boys shoes. I think they are more cooler than those only pink things the girls have. Anyhow, I got a pair of Stride Rites for $20 bucks plus free shipping. Now that is a deal! They came in the cutest of cute shoe boxes. I put them on Baby Girl this morning and she tapped her feet. Clearly she knew something was different. After a few awkward steps she was moving. By the time I visited her at daycare this afternoon she was hugging and biting her shoes, clearly a sign of love. The reason they were off her feet was... I went to see her right before nap time and apparently, they take the shoes off of the kiddos before naps. After investigating another little girl's brown shoes, Baby Girl took her shoes to her chest and hugged them so hard. It was very clear that she loved her shoes and was glad that she had pair of shoes of her very own. I told her, "Wait till you can walk in heels" then you will really know love!

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
