Last night as my husband and I were watching Big Brother and he quietly turns to me and says, “You haven’t been reading any of your dirty books. Do you plan on buying another one soon?” I said vacation is over; I have no time for “dirty books”. I think he is ready to buy me another plane ticket to TX so I can read more dirty books on the plane and the hotel. I can come home, hump him several times in a week, then go to school, take care of the kids and do all the house chores. You see when I come back from girl’s fun weekend; I am in extremely generous and guilty mood. So I said after I read the book I am about to start, then I will buy another dirty book and “fit” it into my schedule. As for now, I am on my period don’t bug me!
On another note, I can’t wait to go back to TX for a certain baby shower (B & K). I might have to go before that as well, to help register. Tracey and I love to do that. No offense to anyone that may be reading this but some people set themselves up for difficult time. Let’s take the wiper warmer shall we. Okay its great thought, warms your wipes right up. Nice and comforting on the ass for a baby. What happens when you are out and about? The warmer isn’t there, you just use a regular wipe and it scares the jeepers out of your kid. Bad enough that the changers in the restroom scares the kid enough but chock it with a cold wipe and your bound to get pissed on. However, if you never used it they would be used to it no big deal. To me, it is a waster of money, time and space. Food for more thought. Bottle feeding…. I tried to breastfeed my daughter she screamed bloody murder. I couldn’t do it. It just felt weird to force my daughter on my boob while she was screaming, oh-well. So instead of heating up water all the time and worrying about is it too hot, not hot enough or while we were out, “can you heat this up” we always gave her room temp water. It was always accessible, throw a 16.9 pounce of bottled water in your diaper bag and get the heck outta there. These are just some of my opinions, no biggie.
Any how, we had a great weekend. We had the cement guy come out and color and seal all of the cement in the backyard and yippee it finally matches! I should have just had them do it all at once when we first moved in, in 2005 but was an idiot. Oh – well, lesson learned. It looks nice now and I am so happy. Ava picked out some random flowers at Home Depot and planted them in the flower bed and it made her happy, Ryan swept and John built a lattice box over the ugly air conditioner. I put some fresh mulch in the flower bed to sweeten up the flowers and trees. We have a huge planter box. We had a grade in our backyard and just built the box to keep it. I will have to post a picture of our little yard; Tracey will have to show me how.
Love to you all!
Ahh dirty books…gotta love ‘em. It will definitely encourage John to take you or send you on vacation more often. Sounds like a fun productive weekend to me. Oh and I so agree about the wipe warmer…totally useless.

Hmm, maybe we’ll just come out there instead and help get Tracey registered at the same time? ANYTIME you guys want to visit, you are welcome. You can stay with us and save the money you would have to spend on a room!! I have plenty of dirty books for you to read while you’re here..John will be a very happy man. AND, bonus…T and K will be pregnant..and we have built in designated drivers. How cool is that?

Those ideas sound like good ones. I always thought the wipe warmer was a goofy idea although I never thought about the part you mentioned.

And the wipe warmer grows germs. OOOHHH!
OMG. Registering with you and T sounds more fun than tequila. That would be amazing.
And we do have dirty books. Let us know if you are into highlanders. Seriously.

totally agree on the wipe warmers and bottle warmer (didn’t register for either). Also didn’t get the Diaper Genie that needs special bags. No thanks. Or the cutsie diaper bag that won’t fit stuff for two. We went with a backpack so we can be hands-free. Maybe when you come for B&K’s shower you can stop by and give us a consultation on other time/money savers after taking a walk-through the ‘ol casa in the ‘hood.
