Want to shatter your self esteem?

I've got a sure fire way to do it. Go try on bathing suits. Man oh man, why did I do this? I'll tell you why, those stupid Old Navy commercials, that's why. I got sucked in with idea of buying some new pieces that I can mix and match. New tankini tops and cute bottoms that could be interchangeable. The problem is I am not a mannequin nor do I have a perfect mannequin body. But still, I pressed on. I took probably, 4 different styles into the change room and barely got past the first one. The problem is I have a long torso and as a result, tops are usually short on me. So all of the Old Navy tankini tops were too short and revealed the baby roadmap that I now have on my belly. For those not in the know, by baby road map I mean, pregnancy stretch marks. Then the little boy short bottoms looked horrible with my short legs. Not to mention the fact that I am like Casper even in August so in May, my skin is practically transparent it's so white.

Defeated, I left the change room with the desire to eat a whole pizza. See this is what this shit does to me. Shouldn't it be the opposite? Shouldn't I want to exercise until my legs fall off? Well, I didn’t eat a whole pizza. And I have been exercising actually, but that's not going to change my short legs or long torso. Or get rid of the stretch marks.

The problem right now is I'd still like a new bathing suit. The one I have is great but it's nice to have more than one. Maybe I should have tried on one of the one pieces. I could always go back this weekend. Did I really just say that?

WTF???

I find lately there are so many things that leave me thinking What the F#ck? Here's a small list of what I mean:

1. Why drunk girls insist on kissing other girls purely to turn on the guys they are with. What happened to girls kissing girls because that's what they are into?

2. Mushrooms. They are gross. I know they are supposed to be good for you but come on, they taste like dirt.

3. Lindsay Lohan's current choices. Mean girls was a good career choice. She was so cute in that and poised to be a big star. Now she's selling her own line of leggings and spray tan. Spray tan, really? She's done.

4. Two and a half men. Why does this show stay on the air and something like Arrested Development can't?

5. Battery operated kids toys. Why must all of the toys that Stevie gets require so many batteries? It's annoying. I'm only buying wooden from now on.

6. The snow in my front yard. It gets limited sun in the day and so I just know it's not going to melt until late June.

7. Ann Coulter. Why does anyone let this woman speak?

8. Taxes on feminine hygiene products. Hello, it's not like we have a choice, we do have to use them. The least they can do for us in not charge taxes!!!

9. Calls from payphones costing 50 cents now. It was hard enough to find 25 cents now I need 50! I know, I know, why don't I just use my cell phone. Well sometimes I forget to charge it or my baby hides it on me.

10. The fact that Kingston has an Urban Outfitters and we don't. Come on, there are way more people in Ottawa than Kingston, let us have one here already!!

I could go on all day. But I won't because then you will think WTF? doesn't she have anything better to do. The answer is, yes.

Can't stop the cuteness

I can't believe that this little bunny is turning into this little girl.






It's really crazy how fast it all goes. Over a year already. Stevie is so funny now. I always found her to be a hilarious newborn. Probably because of all of the hair that she had (still does). She just seemed funnier than other babies. I don't mean funnier looking either, I mean comical. Now she's even more hilarious though. It's so fun when their personalities start to come out and you get a glimpse of what they are going to be like.

This motherhood stuff is crazy. I look at her and can't believe she grew inside me. It's kind of gross and bizarre when you think about it. But also, cool and the neatest thing ever. Even though I feel like the same person the whole experience has changed me so much. For the better, I think.

Anyway, I was just looking at old photos of little Miss Stevie and I couldn't believe how much she has changed. Thought I would share.

How about you??

Happy St. Patty's Day

Big Hugs to my Grandad today on this Irish holiday. Hope everyone is getting out there and enjoying some green beer tonight. I know I won't be. Anyway, I wanted to share with you the most hilarious thing that I heard all day.

This is from an e-mail I received from CCR today:

"I just went to loblaws and bought everyone some green cupcakes and a box of lucky charms for today. Ghetto fest. The Irish are complainin' about the charms...I should have just dumped some raw potatoes on the table."

Love her.

It's been crazy

Work has been so crazy and I know I have been neglecting the blog. Sorry. I just haven't had a chance to post. But my friend sent me this little photo and I had to share it with everyone since it made me laugh. Anyone else feeling like this?





Have a great weekend!!

32 years young

I think 32 is going to be a good year for me.
