Girl Talk Thursday-Booze

Posted on by

Mommy Melee started Girl Talk Thursday. Go show her some love and check out Mr. Linky.

Booze, booze and more booze is the topic this week.

I am not a big drinker, that isn’t to say that I don’t drink.  Oh how I love me some vodka with cranberry and lemon drops and a few others that I’m too sober to name right now.  I’ve had a glass of wine or two that I really enjoyed.  However I hate beer, I haven’t found one that I want to take more then a sip of.

I don’t like to drink hard stuff at home, I prefer a half empty bar (I don’t like big crowds).  At home I can never get the drinks to taste right.  We have wine at the house every once in a while but I’d rather have wine at a restaurant.  I’m just weird like that.

Since I’ve been pregnant and am now breastfeeding I haven’t had any booze in over a year.  Alcohol has never been that important to me.  I didn’t have my first taste till after my 21st birthday and wouldn’t know that I like vodka with cranberry if it weren’t for my buddy Jack.

Jack lived in my spare room for a while and we would go downtown during the week when his favorite bar was nice and quiet.  We’d have a drink or 12, play some pool and chat with the regulars.  It was fun.  Once Jack moved out I didn’t have a desire to keep going out on my own, that seemed like it would be no fun.  Besides who was going to make sure I got home safely and watch Eurotrip with me for the 150th time.  We have watched that movie so many times we know just were to fast forward because those parts just aren’t funny enough.

My Baby’s mind Monday

Posted on by

My friend Tatiana over at It was a Very Good Year started this meme. Each Monday you look inside your baby’s mind and let us know what you find. Be sure to go show her some love.

This week I was inspired by this picture.
I'm growing

Dear Mama,

Please take a good long look at the above picture and notice something.  I am now standing (with Daddy’s help, thank you Daddy) and the top of my head is over the dowel in my growth chart.  Please remember that on my 5 month birthday (10 days ago) I didn’t even come up to the bottom of the chart.  I may not have gained much weight this week, but I gained height.  Now go tell the doctor (whom I normally really like, she’s very nice) to stuff it.  I’m fine.  I’m petite and I like it that way.

I mean think about it.  I can still wear some of my newborn size clothes.  And you know how cute some of those are so that’s a good thing.  You’re getting your moneys worth out of those clothes, unlike some Mommy’s who get to dress their babies in something once and then they outgrow it.  You’re lucky.

I have included the picture from my 5 month birthday for easy comparison.

Love,

Lily

p.s.  Just like you I look really good in dark pink.

Aloha Friday 5-29-09

Posted on by


In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. I like the idea, therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

What is your go-to easy quick dinner?

Ours is a salad and soup (canned) but I’m always looking for better and more healthy ideas.

Girl Talk Thursday-Make up

Posted on by

Mommy Melee started Girl Talk Thursday. Go show her some love and check out Mr. Linky. This week we are talking about lingerie.

This week we are talking about our make up regimen.

Before I had Lily I had a very simple routine and I did it everyday.  I had used Bare Minerals for about two years and I loved the lightness of it.  I used the base foundation kind of thing, the Mineral Veil finishing powder, light blush, eye shadow, liner and mascara.  It sounds like a lot but it only took about 7 minutes or less.

Since Lily was born I think I’ve worn make up twice.   I just don’t have time to deal with it.
