Jibber Jabber

I don’t really have a soap box about socks to get on today or anything like that. So pardon me while I ramble a little, will ya? Are y’all along for the ride? If so I got some chocolate to disburse since I can’t eat any of it myself. See, I had a weak moment and bought some dark chocolate peanut M&M’s cause she said they were making them now. And yes they are in the drawer in the kitchen just a about 10 feet away. But I don’t want any. NO, not me. So help yourself…

Anyway, where was I?

Oh yeah, I saw Shawn Johnson on the David Letterman show and he asked her about the whole are-these-chinese-girls-really-old-enough thing and she was very sweet and diplomatic about it. Good for her because if I found out that they were under age and I were her I would be totally P.O.ed. Just sayin’. Also, she’s just the cutest thing.

The hubs is out of town again this week and it’s pretty much an every-other-week thing now. At first it was a little crazy but now we are kind of getting used to it, him being gone that is. And I don’t mean that in a bad way, I just mean that I guess I’ve figured out that I really can handle 2 boys on my own. Not that I EVER want to have to figure out how that would work full time but at the same time I am proud that I can do it. But all that being said, I cannot wait to see my man again on Thursday…

I got sat on over the weekend. Random, huh? Yeah, while a friend and I waited in the lobby for some more of our friends at a crowded lunch spot on Sunday this woman walked up to us where we were sitting and said, “You girls is gonna have to move over so I can sit down.” (or something really close to that, with bad English and all.) And when I didn’t move over QUITE far enough for her needs, she sat on me and then didn’t even thank me. I really cannot believe how rude some people are these days. I proceeded to get up since I then felt just a wee bit claustrophobic.

Tim and I had date night last Saturday and it was very nice. It consisted of dinner out, just the two of us and then we went to see the latest Batman movie. I didn’t get to sleep until around 1:30. And then I got to sleep until almost 9 a.m. I do not remember the last time I slept until that time. God bless my boys for sleeping in playing amongst themselves!

On Sunday I had the most delicious bagel I have had in a while my lifetime. And here comes confession time for various reasons. Several months ago I had an entire post about the closing of my VERY favorite pancake place and how it was being replaced with some new eatery. I was NOT happy. Well, that all changed on Sunday. The new place is Panera Bread and although the Cinnamon Crunch bagel is not on my “diet” I had to have one. I am also a sucker for anything cinnamon and bread-like and sweet. I know, there’s no help for me. Now you know why I can’t have any of those peanut M&M’s. Oh and why I can’t lose any weight. My will power is shot. Seriously, it’s needs some major CPR.

Lastly, I have taught Little G some baby sign language and he’s actually using it. Unfortunately he seems to think that the sign for “milk” is actually for anything to drink so I still have to guess what he actually wants in his sippy cup. But, he’s also learned the sign for “more” and the one for “eat” so these have been quite helpful. Now if he would just use some words we’d be golden.

Ok, I guess that’s enough rambling for today… Y’all be good!
