- Kinda Like One Big Post-It Note -

i'm feeling a little too lazy to go crazy and explain any sort of in-depth detail so a list post it is.
- i tried yoga by candelight: it was o.k., only, just o.k. tho
- brittany stayed with us for almost a week: super nice to have an extra pair of hands
- got a pedicure: i'm becoming an addict of womanly pampering
- had date night at the deer foot inn and casino on friday to watch a fight card & lindsay's peers: entertaining to say the least & and fun night out for us
- gambled: this happened on date night but it gets its own recognition because its the first time i ever put money into a machine and won a few dollas, meanwhile sOmEboDy else just found 20 bones lying on the floor
- i cut the grass for the first time this year, weeded the flower beds & cleaned up the cat pooh pile: our neighbor's cat has been cleaning out its digestive track in my flower bed behind a bush and it might be cyanide-a kitty ...ahhh i kid i kid, i joke i joke
- watched along came polly & donnie brasco: got both ends of the spectrum in less than 48 hours, ben stiller salsa dancing like a fool to johnny depp posing as a mafia member, "choo da rhatt?"
- lindsay almost burned the house down: he was attempting a new recipe
- after tolerating almost 3 months of nonsense from my bank that involved 4 individual trips down to the branch and 1 phone call later i was freed from the crap: oh snap!
- lindsay hasn't been/isn't feeling that great: not sure whats wrong but the days are long now that i have added 'personal slave' to my list of duties
so that's it, in a nutshell.

this past week was filled with dentist appointments, hair cuts, gym sessions, installing big-boy car seats and tanning time plus the every day errands. our nights are filled with irregular sleeping patterns caused by remy, who is teething. it just kind of feels like were just going through the motions of being everywhere we need to be and doing the things that need to be done, only to kinda sleep at night, and then do it all over again the next day.
don't get me wrong... i know and understand fully that this is just one of the parts of parenting. this teething business. but coming from a girl who relishes every second of a much needed 8 hours of sleep per night, its just wearing me down thats all.
remy has officially been given crawling status as of 2 days ago. its extremely exciting to watch him but causes some anxiety never knowing what he will get himself into when your eyes are not on him. guess its time to get a move on with that baby gate! {living in a 4 level split has suddenly become much less desirable with a tiny tot on the loose.}
now that i have become a *regular* a the gym, so to speak, remy has gotten some time to play in the daycare they provide. despite one bad night, it's going well. swell even. the one babysitter has a little boy who is 14 months old so twice a week they get a chance to 'play' err pull each others hair. not overly fair considering remy has much more for 'babysitter's son' to grab at but in all truth be told, the babysitter said remy has a really strong grip :) hehe.
and at lindsay's gym right now, they have a very important visitor, ajarn penya, from thailand. he will be teaching the fighters at the mike miles gym traditional muay thai for the next few weeks or so. ajarn penya is very respected at the mike miles gym because he is the man tho taught ajarn mike miles (a.k.a. lindsay's ajarn: 'coach' 'instructor'). lindsay seems to have picked up ajarn penya's accent with no problem, not too sure about the new techniques being offered tho...
not sure what else to mention as i usually don't know whats going on.
case in point: last night. i have had the same cell phone for a year and a half and i went to charge it but could NOT figure out for the life of me where the adaptor plugged in to it. had to ask lindsay for help, ten minutes later we still can't believe that we don't know where the adaptor goes...what shape is my adaptor anyways? circle i think. but we have similar phones so could it be a rectangle? the fact that we even had to have that conversation was creepy.
fifteen minutes later my phone was successfully plugged in to the adaptor.
and it was a circle.
figured this quick post was better than nothing although it may be borderline boring. sorry, i'm sleep deprived and so its hard to get creative.

Happy Easter Everyone!
i am a holiday-meal-cooker-rookie but this weekend i somehow managed to pull it off (with lots of advice and hot tips from the more experienced). today we sat down to have a turkey dinner prepared a'la-moi. it was quite yummy minus the home made stuffing...yick... but the turkey was good and thats all that really counts anyways.
we are still full from our dinner so we have not made it to the dessert portion of the meal quite yet but i know us, and we will very shortly. a few months ago, i attempted to make a home made punkin'pie but... well.. it did not go so good. to make a short story blunt: i forgot a few ingredients and it was straight-up 100% pumpkin smoothed over a pie shell {gag}. this time 'round i put my pride aside and bought a pre-made pie instead :)
i think its fair to say that remy's first easter was pretty fantastic. he did some visiting with a few fine ladies (auntie monica, ashley & lisa), went out to dinner a few times... and to starbucks too of course! AND our little turkey even made some time for a swim at the leisure centre.
remy says 'thank you very much for all my gifts you guys!'

- It's Toothlet Time -
|
Wednesday, April 04, 2007
|
yesterday morning we all woke up to find that remy's first little tooth was finally poking through his bottom gum line. its more of a toothlet really since you wouldn't prolly notice it because its in such early development stages unless you were looking for it (although its not to be underestimated, it is his first toothlet after all). and since remy makes it awfully hard for you to inspect his brand new pearly white, lindsay and i were wondering if we could even start calling it a tooth already?
{DECISION TIME}
but he's our baby and we can see it and we have felt the havoc he can cause with it already therefore we'll call it a tooth if we so please.
and we do so please :)
p.s. thank! you! so! much! for all the comments on my last post. to all of those who left one, you helped make history special because i have never had that many comments on a single post before!
