I am strong and capable!
Evelyn and I just got home a few minutes ago. We drove across town to the grand opening sale of Kohl's, and then we zipped over to Versailles to meet Da-da for lunch and take the baby in to play with his co-workers for a bit. She was so good! And yes, I am a big dork but that is the farthest I've ever taken her by myself. I'm trying to work my courage up for longer outings, possibly up to visit my family by myself some day. She was all smiles and laughs today so maybe it's not as hard as I was afraid it would be. I also bought some fun stuff--two toys, one of which is a gift for my cousin, a blender ($14.99!) and a onesie that says "I <3 Daddy". (M thought that was terribly cute, for some reason.) I could have stayed longer in there but I knew I needed to get out of there so I could meet M--which is a good thing because I stood in line for twenty minutes. Gah. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sunflower_pixie, I've heard that Meijer will be going in there, and today I heard a rumor of Target. Have you heard anything? Oh, and btw, you should post about your IKEA trip. We might go up there next weekend.
Alas, little dorko baby fell asleep in the car fifteen minutes before we got home, and although it was promising at first, she woke up when I put her in the crib. She has only slept through getting out of the carseat once in her life before today. She isn't a big fan of sleeping in the car, period.
I should also announce that no, I am not pregnant, even though I said last night that we went to Baskin Robbins when we found out I was pregnant. I meant, pregnant with Evelyn. ;) At least, it is highly unlikely that I am pregnant and if so, I am unaware of it. I suppose it is technically possible, but that precludes the possibility of us going to Baskin Robbins because we found out that I was pregnant. This paragraph is entirely too silly.
I try to not be STUFF-focused, or go over the top on the whole baby thing, but it is a little over a month until my baby turns one, and I can't stop thinking about what kind of birthday party she should have. I am thinking of doing a cupcake theme, and possibly making two different kinds of cupcakes instead of a sheet cake. I can't decide if that would be a pain or not. I couldn't tell you the last time I made cupcakes. I have one cupcake pan and I really only use it for making meatloaf. (Seriously, "meat muffins" as we call them--just make a little ball of your meatloaf goop and put it in the unlined cups. It cooks in no time and it doesn't need sliced, and you can spoon them out and leave the grease behind. For some reason I can never get meatloaf done when I make it the normal way.) It will just be family here anyway so why do I even care? I should just buy a few packages of hot dogs and some buns, a cake and call it good. Something about this birthday is bringing out delusions of being Martha Stewart, which I am so not. The worst thing is that I will probably keep coming up with plans and then get lazy and end up doing the hot dog and sheet cake thing and then I will feel bad because I wanted to do all that other stuff. It sure is rough to be me, with all these REAL PROBLEMS. End sarcasm. I am so thankful this is the among the worst of my worries right now.

What do you want to know about Ikea? I used to shop there all the time in Washington and California, so I could probably answer just about any question you have :) ♥ Ikea!
