2) Love Kate Voegele. She plays Mia on One Tree Hill and low and behold she's really a recording artist. She's talented, young with a strong voice. Here's her remake of the song Hallelujah:
3) Been on a superhero kick for the last couple of weeks. I'm addicted to Smallville (the story of Superman as a teen, KJ and I rent the old seasons on dvd) and then KJ and I went to see Iron Man on Saturday night. Sigh. Oh how I love super powers.
4) That's right, you read correctly, KJ and I went to a movie. And nope we're not those people who take a small baby to the movie to hope that she won't cry, but secretly know that she will and that it will disrupt everyone else who payed the ridiculous fee for 2 hours of entertainment. hehehe KJ's sister wanted to keep her, so the little mini went to her first sleep over.
5) Our house is crazy quiet without that 10lb bundle of giggles and screams.
6) Army Wives is back on tv! The season started off with a bang (literally). Just in time as most of my other shows are going into re-run phase right now.
7) Last week was ridiculously busy at work. I came in early, I left late. Today is the first day where we've been able to breathe and I have about a million personal tasks to tackle. And yes, I plan on tackling them during work hours.
8) I've been mentally beating myself up about doing what I say I'm going to do. Honestly, I've gotten quite horrible (like if I say I'll call you right back, I normally don't...or if I need to email you something, it might take me waaay longer than it should). I'm going to work on getting better at that, b/c I don't like the thought that my word has lost credibility.
9) I have grandiose Ideas of kindness, but a very small budget. Unfortunately this results in more thoughts than actions. I'm working on changing this also as I know all too well that people need to know you care and that they are thought of.
10) Father's Day is around the corner and I'm actually ahead of the game. The little mini and I have knocked out KJ and my dad, now we just need to figure out what we're getting KJ's dad. Is shopping for all men difficult?
****** Bonus b/c I have so many randoms going thru my mind********
11) I'm forcing myself to finally make the jump to cloth diapers. We've finally used up just about all of our freebies and I currently own 6 bumGeniuses that I'm washing up tonight to test out for the next couple of days. There's about to be a lot of washing going on at our little abode (atleast until I purchase more cloth diapers, but I'm not one to jump into change, I'm more of an ease into it kind of girl). Wish us luck. ;-)
12) I'm on a quest to recreate some of our favorite restaurant dishes. First up is the Jamaican Jerk Chicken wrap from Tropical Smoothie. Oh so yum.
13) Is it wrong to have quams about helping people who make no effort to help themselves. There's a woman at church who has a niece that's young (17, 18, or 19) and had a baby girl around the same time I had the little mini. The girl's boyfriend is apparently a drug dealer and she does not work. Anywho the lady at church has stopped me on several occasions when I've got the little mini and said, "Oh, that's a cute outfit. Just pack up the clothes she can't wear anymore and I'll pick them up and give them to my niece. I'm so tired of seeing her baby in the same onesies." This is going to make me sound mean, but I always think. "Sorry, not my problem. Tell your lazy niece to get off her bum and go get a job." I'm praying on the situation and doing some studying up on the act of being kind. I'm a huge believer in not handicapping someone with kindness, by not allowing them to take care of themselves if they are capable. Plus the lady at church comes across gruff, although I know she's not always intending to, but I always think, "Oh sister, you don't know me. You can't MAKE me do anything." I've got some growing to do.
14) Do you all use you tube? I've been trying to upload videos for the fam, but having a little trouble with the private option. Is there another thing like you tube that allows you to share videos?
15) Okay, that's it. I've got to clear off my desk and then start tackling some of this Personal Task List. Geez louise. Will there ever be a day when I can look around and think, "My, I have absolutely nothing to do?" hehehe I'm not thinking so. And for picture sake...This is the progression of the face that says, "I'm making you a surprise in my pants." aka "the poop face" (If I ever get out of my house then I'll take pics of more than just the little mini, but until then, bare with me. ;-) )

Good luck with the cloth diapers! It's kind of bleh at first but it gets better. Just hang in there! Invest in a wet bag too for your diaper pail, it works wonders. I think they're 16 bucks or so. You can just throw the bag and all of it's contents into the wash and do a load.
And you don't have some growing to do, that's very presumptuous of the lady at church. I'd tell her you're eventually planning on having more children so you're packing her clothes away in case a sister joins her. The way she's going about it isn't the best way to ask people for that kind of generosity.
You can upload videos to photobucket as well.
I'm so jealous! Dash doesn't have a poop face. Although the other day he was swimming at my parents house and crawled out of the little pool naked and stopped mid-crawl, grunted, and pooped on their deck. :) I promise he doesn't usually grunt...
Next time she asks you should inquire as to why the girl doesn’t work a p/t job. As I last recalled, I was in school, worked for $5.40/hr and still managed to purchase my child a lot of the things she needed “WHILE I WAS PREGNANT!!!” I understand people have financial setbacks, but lets be for real you do what you want to do and I did what I “HAD” to do. There are thrift stores and the dollar general for that kind of stuff. Of course I was more than blessed that one of my church members gave me ALL of the clothes her daughter outgrew b/c she was 6 or 9 months older than mines. And I was thankful. But I didn’t ask her for anything. Your church member is just plain tacky, and why isn’t she purchasing the baby any clothing???? Just plain triaphling(sp.) I wouldn’t give her a thing. Let the damn daddy to it….
I don't blame your feelings about the lady from church. Apparently, the daughter learned to let others do things for her from her mother. That's trifling. You don't owe her any explanation as to why you will not give her your child's clothes.
