Still no batteries :(. So, no pictures lately. I need to just get off my booty and take pictures with the normal flash, but compared to the big flash it just doesn't seem right.
The tenth I was able to go do something I haven't done since, well, really before I was pregnant with Aly... go visit someone all by myself. Though the trip to Mandy's was a bit tedious with only me in the car to keep me awake, I loved it. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, love Matt, but it's so nice to just have my thoughts to myself for a while, go do things while only worrying about myself, heck, just getting me ready. Mandy, her soon to be sister in law Shannon, and I went searching for bridesmaid dresses, and then Mandy and I went to see Wicked. It was wonderful! I absolutely love musicals and plays, and this one was great. We had the best seats I've ever been in for a play, the actors and actresses did a great job, and I simply loved the costumes. The story was.... a bit different than the book, completely filled with deux ex machinas (and you thought there could be only one), but it didn't bother me. I'm sure you've all heard me complain about True Blood, so it really surprises me that a musical depicting one of my favorite books didn't annoy me with its changes. You simply have to go see it.
My cell phone has almost completely bit the dust, and it's finally time for me to upgrade... so the iphone is on its way! Woo! I'd been wanting an ipod, needed a new phone... vamoosh! It's on its way here right now... curse you UPS man for not delivering it already.
Lorelei has 5 teeth now, stands up by herself, and lately will walk with if she has a hold on one hand. Matt just found out a route is coming open, so unless someone higher bids on it, he hopefully will be getting a much better change of pace. Aly is.. Aly. She's becoming a little easier to handle, while at the same time her antics are a bit more destructive. Last week, the day after I came home from Memphis, she decided to decorate the floor, hearth, tv stand, and modem with chocolate milk. This was caught soon enough that the chocolate milk only cut out the phone line. Of course the next day she decorated it with water, which cut out the internet too. Not. fun.
I am so glad you got to have "me" time. That's important for everyone! How wonderful you got to see your favortie, Wicked! I am glad you liked it, I hear it's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGreat update on the girls. Bill and I can't wait to see them (I guess it will be Thanksgiving!) Sorry about the mess with no phone or internet...I know that was a "fun" incident!
Are you doing anything special for your birthday? You should plan another "me" day...how special! We miss you all so much and think/ talk about you all the time. Love you lots!
