1. Oh lordy I have so much to do today. The family gets here tomorrow, and I still have to clean the house, get some more baking done, and oh yeah, entertain the baby all day. Yes, I should be doing something now (instead of blogging) while the baby is back down for her post-milk snooze, but I’m still drinking my coffee!
2. She was a nightmare to get down last night. A NIGHTMARE. 90 minute screaming fit, anyone? And she totally fooled me too! She dozed off while I was nursing her around 7:30, so I put her to bed. As I laid her down, she woke up and squawked at me a little bit, but she still seemed sleepy; I thought she would be off to dreamland again after a few minutes. I was so sure that I even opened myself a beer as I got my dinner plate ready. Ha. Ha. Ha. After babbling loudly for a while, she turned absolutely inconsolable which started the crying/screaming. We took turns holding her until I finally got her to go back to sleep by, what else, nursing her. I don’t think she was hungry…she didn’t drink very much. I think she just needed to calm the fuck down. I was ready for another beer at that point, but instead I made seven layer bars! Little stinker totally slept through the food processor whizzing as I made graham cracker crumbs.
3. I finished Lola and the Boy Next Door earlier this week. I liked it a lot, possibly more than I liked Anna. I’m definitely more of a Cricket girl than a St. Clair girl. My one issue with it was (slight spoiler alert!) was how sexy sexytime it got in the last chapter. I dunno, I’m definitely a prude about some stuff, but I thought it was pretty clear that the only thing that stopped them from totally doing it in an alley at night in the middle of winter was the complications presented by Lola’s dress. Making out for the first time in a park, like in Anna? Totally awesome and hot. Nearly having sex for the first time with your new boyfriend in a gross alley while standing up, like in Lola? Not…as…hot.
4. Ok coffee is done, I need to wrap this up!
5. Merry Christmas everyone! I may not have the time to totally enjoy everything that the season has to offer this year, but I feel very blessed to share it with my daughter, who does not yet know to expect presents and will be thrilled to play with all of the wrapping paper, my husband, who asked for Battlestar Gallactica merch for his presents this year, I do love him so, and my family, who will no doubt find my house very boring after being at Disney World this past week.
