Totally Ever So Not Fair

Today’s blog post title brought to you by Lola of Charlie and Lola fame. My grammer isn’t quite that bad. Very cute children’s books and a TV show to go with them but I have only seen it once. Thomas likes Charlie and Lola (and secretly I do too).

But that’s not the unfair part. Begin rant now…

I am 32 – not that old, but old enough that I sometimes need to take a moment and do the math to remember how old I am. And old enough that I should not have to worry about pimples any more! I am so tired of waking up in the morning with an eruption the size of vesuvius planted on my cheek, chin, forehead etc. etc. I mean when did the rules change? I was told in high school that I would grow out of it. That Acne is a temporary thing suffered by teenagers (like the teenage years were punishment enough on their own).

I have tried everything – creams, lotions, scrubs. At the end of the day I feel that I am now in my 30s and Acne should be a thing of the past. Come on universe, cut me some slack here. I deserve it.

Rant over.

And, no, I am not posting a photo today. 🙂

Had To Make a LO…

… based on my last post. I love Manda J Designs. She is a new designer at MDM and if you haven’t checked her out, you should. (Click on image for full credits)

Anyway, wanted to post before I go to bed.

So Proud

Thomas got into the cupboard where we keep the pots and pans the other night, pulled out a saucepan, found a wooden spoon somewhere on the floor (no, that’s not usually where I leave my wooden spoons) and proceeded to “cook” something. He was yelling out to me in the other room and saying “Look Mummy, I’m Cooking”.

Of course at this point I’m thinking I have the most intelligent child in the world. I mean he’s not even two yet and he knows that saucepan plus wooden spoon means cooking. Especially impressive since he probably learned this from watching me do it.. oh.. three times in his entire life!
But then the thing that happened next pushed him into the genius category. He looks at me and says, clear as day, “Mummy, take a picture!”. My heart sang with joy. I have a child who like to have his photo taken… at least for now.
Here are the resulting photos. A little blurry, but definitely worth pulling out the camera for this milestone moment.

This is one proud Mama. 🙂

Just for Fun

I decided to change up the look of my blog. You like? I was never happy with the all white design. I need color!

A few things going on this weekend. First of all, many many great sales at My Digital Muse. Do yourself a favor and check them out. Tara is taking 35% off everything!

Also, Jen Wilson is taking votes for her attire/accessorize challenge. It’simply a matter of looking through the runway challenge gallery, choosing one winner for each week’s challenge (there are seven total) and sending them to Jen via email. CT layouts are not eligible so I may have 1/2 a chance. (hahahaha). Votes have to be in by midnight Saturday.

And one more thing just for fun. Not my normal style of LO – a little messy and funky – but then what really is my style?? Click on the image for credits.

Journaling:As soon as I say we’re going to stop for a coffee, you yell “muffin!”. I suppose I buy you one pretty much any time we stop for coffee. And the one thing I’ve discovered – you really really really like muffins!August, 2007

Thanks for stopping by
