updates and whatnot

well if you have not picked up on this- i absolutely love being a mom. i knew that i would like it. but it is way way better than i thought. i am absolutely nuts about constance. shes the kind of baby that i put her down to sleep and i can't wait till she gets up so i can see her again and be together. she is laughing and smiling more and more which is a complete joy. it is amazing how a baby can transform you into a complete and blubbering idiot. charles walks around doing jazz hands all day and i no longer talk. i just make odd noises and screeches to get her to respond and continue her 'verbalization'. seriously? charles hasn't walked a normal step with the baby awake in i don't know how long. he's always dancing or something ridiculous and we have been reduced to being complete goof balls- and unabashedly so...

in other news- i got fired from my job. which kinda stinks and you would think illegal to do while on maternity leave. but i don't really care. aside from having your dignity suspended when your baby arrives; adding constance to our family has certainly changed my perspective on what is worth fighting for and where i want my energy to go. needless to say, it was an easy decision to not o fight for a job that nearly drove me to the edge.

aside from being entertained by her parents each day- constance has developed her first crush. she is mesmerized by red kitty. red kitty sits atop her bouncy seat. constance stares at it and smiles and laughs. it's the best. here's a picture of the androgynous but good looking kitty. the kid has good taste...



i got an ipod and frankly- i don't get the hype. i got a nano that fits fifty songs. itunes has been giving me fits and i am a bit put off by the whole experience. i got it before constance got here- but have forgotten to write about my disappointment. i'm disappointed.

speaking of forgetting... will my brain ever recover from pregnancy and nursing? someone please tell me yes. it does seem that with every ounce of milk that exists my body- brain matter and cells do as well.

charles is just about done with vli. i'm so proud of him. the dude is tired! vli burned me out- which is probably more of a statement on where i was in life when i did it. but it makes me feel a little better that someone as devout and responsible as charles also shows the wear and tear.

in sad news- we're selling the fox this weekend. i love that car. love it. i am so attached to it- but alas she needs to goto a home that can take better car of her. a vw mechanic is buying it so i know that she will be well loved. i will post pictures and stories later on why i love that car so much. we will be a one car family again. this time we will have a mazda. nothing against our mazda but it is boring and mainstream and i resent it a little. i should be grateful. but instead i resent it... a car. i resent a car. how lame am i?

i'm reading an interesting book called, 'not buying it- my year w/o shopping.' i decided to actually finish a book before i start another. we'll see how it goes. i've been reading so many different books that it is hard to keep track of them all and it takes longer to get through them for me. so we'll see how this strategy pans out.

tonight, i'm hoping to goto this movie. please let me know if you'd like to go with...

have a good weekend.
