Planning

I forgot Ian at school today. Now that I'm home I have no excuse, other than I had no idea it was another half day, and I was working.

Life has found itself molded into a pretty great routine for now, and I am really enjoying being home with the kids. Ian tells me daily how much he "loves hanging out" with me and Roo, and he has had NO behavior issues in school at all. I love being able to play with both my kids and not be tired and frustrated all the time! I can't believe life is really and truly working out; it's even more impressive than I thought it was going to be! I wish I was more productive at work, but I'm going to get there eventually. I know I will.

The kids' birthdays are coming up too, and I'm excited for the day. It's always proven to be amazing in past years and I'm hoping I can match 2007! Ian wants a fish theme (again), so I'm going to use what was left over (yes, this is why I am a packrat) and get a few more things like a fish pinata. I'm going to handmake some stuff too, so I'm really hoping I won't kill anyone.

There's going to be 1 less person in attendance this year. It's been really, really tense around here the last few days, and I'm hoping that this person really won't show up. I'm not one for family drama, and if this person does anything to ruin the kids' day, I will have to go Jenn-Psycho on their ass. I've calmed down considerably the past few months, but there are still some things in my life where I will always have a short fuse

BIrthday Day!!

We're up and getting ready for Ian and Roo's party. We have a TON of food, and we filled the Piñatas last night. I lost the temporary tattoos I got for the kids, but everything else I seem to have remembered. I am so excited for today! The weather is going to be beautiful, and we have about 45 people who plan to be there to celebrate the day with us.

Two things are bugging me through- people who don't bother to let me know if they're coming or not even after a reminder email and then an email to beg for a response, and the fact that someone I dislike VERY MUCH is coming. I didn't even know they had been invited until Sean told me on Thursday.... Usually I can be civil to someone if I'm forced to see them, but this person doesen't even deserve that, so I'm planing to just igonre them unitl they go away. They put me on "ignore" on their Facebook page, so turn about is fair play!

ALDI

OK my Tampa Florida friends, listen up! If you're looking for a bargain you have GOT to go to ALDI. I head about it on the news and we decided to go today to check it out.

When we first got there I was a bit surprised because I was fully expecting it to be rundown looking and the clientele somewhat, er, less than desirable. Yes, a crappy ideation, but I know the area well and I am very familiar with the residents there as well. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised! The place was clean and a bit smaller than I had imagined, and there were no people just 'hanging out' in the front. Yay! So, we paid a quarter for our cart, grabbed the canvas bags we had, and in we went.

For such a small looking place, they sure had a lot of things inside! Juices, cereal, meat, veggies, crackers, dairy products... We bought milk, meats, cheese, veggies, juice and cereal for Ian, snacks, canned goods, chips and other snack items, frozen pizza, bananas, drinks for us, pasta and sauces. I mentally totaled up what was in the cart and figured that if we had been in either of the other two supermarkets we usually go to it would have been about $120 before we were done, so was I ever thrilled when it came to $57.62!!!!!! I was so excited!

Really, the only downside was that there was no organic food there, but I can easily get my organic stuff once a week. That will help me save money too so I don't get swayed into buying other things when I go to the store every three days!

Does this mean I'm old now? I've never been so excited about a regular grocery store opening...

Perfection in StarLand

I often wonder about Beverly Hills cosmetic surgery and the the things the doctors must know about the people we see on TV and in the movies. I wonder what sorts of information they have about the stars, like who has lopsided breasts and who had moles removed from their butts. It would kill me to keep quiet about information like that because I love knowing that these people who are portrayed as 'perfection' have physical things they don't like about themselves, just like the rest of us do!

If I were to get cosmetic surgery I know exactly what procedures I'd have done. I've thought a lot about it and I think that, within the next year, I'll have one of them scheduled. I've wanted to get it done for over three years now and Sean agrees with me, so I may just do it!

Bueller?... Bueller?

In searching the Internet for topics that have nothing to do with what I am writing about, I stumbled upon this wonderful news! Ferris Bueller's Day Off is going to have a sequel! Yes, a finished script for Ferris Beuller ...
