Happy July!
Jul. 1st, 2008 10:00 pmMy poor baby. She was worn completely out, and I almost had the requisite asleep-in-high-chair photo. Her eyes fluttered closed as M and I looked on in complete disbelief, and then when we made some noise, she opened her eyes and her head popped back up and she grinned at us like, HAHA I FOOLED YOU. But, she didn't. She was completely falling asleep, the little faker.
I just gave myself a self-imposed twelve-minute deadline on this post. We shall see where that takes us.
My mom and aunt came down today and we had a busy day of lunch, shopping, and then a trip to the game farm, where we walked around looking at animals and nature and had a very nice time. E missed her nap, so that's why she was so especially sleepy. I had been thinking of having a no-nap day because she has had appalling night-time sleep habits lately, so I'm hoping this will "reboot" her. Yes, we speak of our child as if she is a buggy Windows-based computer. What of it? I bought one shirt on my shopping trip. I found it... in the dressing room, where I was trying on something that didn't fit. There was a stack of shirts in my size hanging there, and I pretended that my personal shopper had picked them out for me and tried them all on. Nothing like enlivening your day with a healthy dose of crazy. Too bad she didn't pick out some shorts. I desperately need shorts.
Do you think denim shorts are the height of fashion faux pas? M saw that somewhere, that they were ranked right up there with socks and sandals. I had never considered them exactly high fashion but I had no idea that people thought they were terrible. My area is super-casual. Sub-casual, even, but I am not sure that anyone I know thinks that denim shorts are strictly off-limits. These are important questions that keep me very busy.
Four minutes remaining! The pressure, the pressure!
Update on the living room lamp situation: it still works! All five bulbs had to be replaced, but the lamp still works. And no, no one was hurt. I was sitting right there (taking a picture, like the idiot I am) and I was grabbing it as it fell to direct it away from the baby... I just couldn't grab it well enough to stop it from falling. So all's well that ends well.
And I now have less than one minute so I should wrap this up and go watch the tellyvision with the hubbyo.
