Planning

I am a planner.

If I'm planning something then I feel important and like I have a purpose. It doesn't have to be anything more than a girls night out. Or a really nice dinner for me and Logan. If I'm planning I don't feel useless and I don't dwell on the unpleasant things.

For instance, I have decided I am going to plan a tea party for next summer. Yes it's a really long ways away, and no one I know really drinks tea. But I have a plan and since when do you have to actually drink tea at a tea party? See, if I start planning now it's going to be an uber fabulous party, and I'll have time to experiment with recipes, look for a tea set, and figure out how I want to decorate. And with this much notice I'll be able to have the people I want come because I'll be able to plan it when I know they'll be here. So for all that's it's sort of crazy, it's helping me so I'm not. Crazy that is.

I love planning parties and dinners and romantic evenings and family dinners and girls nights out and things like that. I have so much fun and I'm pretty good at it too. Maybe I'll get a calling that lets me plan stuff. I think I'd really enjoy that.

I've also been planning the house. The painting and the arranging and the furniture buying. I don't know if I should try to get all the painting done and then move on to getting the furniture, or if I should do one room completely before moving on to the next. If anyone here has done this sort of thing, I'd love some advice.

Pictures are coming, I just haven't finished unpacking enough yet. So hold on. It won't be long now. Piper has just been taking up my time. Don't worry, it won't be like on the Incredibles. I fully intend to be unpacked within the next week or so. Not three years. :)

Anyways, I have to go, lots to do. Next post I'll let you know how things are going on the work front and hopefully have some pictures of Piper at least. Toodles!

Visits

So I'm totally lonely.

Yes I like Fawn and April just fine, but they have lives and I feel like I'm intruding when I'm around them.

So I'm soliciting you all for visits. I want visitors!!!!

We have a guestroom! *wink wink, nudge nudge*

COME USE IT!!!

Please?

I need someone to talk to besides my busy husband and 4 month old baby.

Or at least try emailing me so I don't feel totally isolated out here. Please?

Please?

Random

I have a strange craving for cherry chapstick...

My baby is better! She is almost completely all better. She's got a little bit of a stuffy nose and a cough when she cries, but oh my goodness she's worlds better than earlier in the week.

And! AND! SHE ROLLED OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

All by herself!!!!!

I'm so Proud of her!!!!!!

Also, I'm getting tons of ideas for what I want to do to this house. I intend to make it mine. Little stamps of me everywhere. You have no idea how hard it is to try to be happy and make a home out of someone else's taste and style. Ick.

It's getting late. Not that you can tell here. It seriously stays light out until about 10 o'clock. It's ridiculous.

And pictures!

Just waking up. And covering her face. Naturally.

And more happiness from the fourth!
Sticking her tongue out at mommy... the bad habits begin already.

And that is all for now. Toodles!

Swingers

That's us!

Not like that! Gah. No no no.

The swing. The baby swing. We love it. We bow down to it's superior baby calming skills.

Pay homage to the swing!!!!

Seriously, it's the only way I can do anything all day. If she's not in the swing or in my arms she's restless and upset.

So we are ardent swing fans. Swingers. Yup.

As we speak she's swinging and sleeping away. Miracles never cease.

And when you go out and have children of your own, you too will become believers in the power of the swing. Trust me.

*sends love to the swing* it's my new best friend. :)

I don't know how I could manage without it. No! Ah! Blasphemy! I refuse to even think about it.

Now I'm sure you think I'm a total freak, but when you have a crying sick child who can't even be set down for you to run to the bathroom, you will understand. Until then, just bear with me.
;)

Sick!

My little baby girl is sick. It just breaks my heart to hear her cry and cough. The poor little thing can hardly breathe.

:(

Poor baby.

Can't Post too much!
