some things (8 to be exact)

1. a picture of my baby. to placate all the grandmas, especially the ones who say "i havent seen a new picture of Miles in a week"

2.i just gave in to the peer pressure and started watching Downton Abbey, for 5 minutes until Miles needed attention and i missed 10 minutes before turning it off to be resumed at a later naptime.

3. my dryer has a terrible squeak, its like banshees living in my laundry room....it makes me not want to dry clothes.

4. our Sonic is closed for "remodeling" its been a really long time and i never see anyone working on it, i hope its not closed forever. i would consider moving to a place that had a Sonic.

5. im loving the new sale calendar they have at JC Penneys, the first and third friday of the month they put out all the lowest priced clearance items... boys jeans, 2 bucks!!

6. im hoping that Dominic is over The Pirates Who Dont Do Anything movie, he has watched it every day for the last week...its getting a little old.

7. im considering having a garage sale this spring. i have never had one before i normally just give my stuff away.

8. im trying to give up soda...its not going so well. i love Dr. Pepper.

so exciting...

an exciting trip indeed (insert subtle sarcasm here)

i took my unhappy baby
put on my rain boots
and went to drop off a card and a picture of Miles bound for Texas.

the most exciting part of this trip was the boots, this was the first time i had worn them since getting them for christmas (i bought them for myself).

they look ridiculous with stretchy pants, finally im able to pair them with skinny jeans to which Dominic says "your boots look pretty on you, mommy!"

im ready, already!!

around the end of august, when none of my clothes fit anymore, i packed them all up and had Ken take them out to the shed, so i wouldnt have a closet full of clothes that i couldnt wear.

for the last 5 weeks, since Miles has been born i have still been wearing stretchy pants and tee shirts.

2 weeks ago i packed up all my maternity clothes and gave them to a friend, this week i can wear jeans with minimal discomfort in the area of my c-section incision.

i think im ready to dispatch Ken to the shed to get the bin full of clothes, while i am hopeful in this endeavor, i remain realistic in that a good portion of these clothes may not fit or possibly will no longer look as good as they once did.

regardless, i need my green courderoy jacket. its in the bin.

wednesday morning before i took Dominic to school.

my mom had camera at the ready very early.
