Queen of Rambles

I have been in Super Cleaning Ninja Mode today, not that you can tell by looking at the house. I was so tired of having big ziplock bags full of ice cube shaped baby puree that I thought I might have a conniption fit and throw the whole lot in the garbage. Instead, I transferred it all into square plastic containers that fit in the freezer more neatly. I had to mix and match a little, but I figured it was fine as long as I kept the veggies to the right and the fruit to the left. I mix and match it all anyway. MisterE doesn’t seem to mind.

I also went crazy on my closet and am no where near finished. I just wish I could find a clothing donation place around here because I want the old stuff out out out out! My wardrobe is dwindling because I keep packing up stuff I don’t like, but I can’t help myself. I want to look in my closet and see things I love, not things I tolerate. I just need to buy a few breezy summer shirts and I’ll be all set. I tried to buy some breezy summer shirts tonight but couldn’t find anything that made my heart sing. I couldn’t believe some of the fat revealing sleeveless neck tied wrap dealies they were selling in the fat lady department. I want to be able to say “you go girl” but instead I raised my eyebrows in horror and wondered what kind of fat lady would EVER wear such unflattering clothing.

I am so tired of being a fat lady. Bah.

I was going to go on a long walk today, but when I stepped out the door I was hit with a blast of nasty, hot, humid air that caused immediate breathing distress. I hate that feeling. I took MisterE on a short stroll around the apartment complex and was tempted mightily by the pool. We all know I’m weak in the face of temptation, so in the end we spent a good hour splashing around in the pool. As soon as I stepped in I thought all hope was lost. I almost took MisterE right back home again because I knew he’d scream bloody murder when I dipped him into the frigid water. Surprise, surprise, he did no such thing! He just started kicking his legs and laughing because he loooooooves to swim. What a relief.

[Insert witty transition]

I spent most of the day waiting for the big Mom’s Night Out that our local consignment store was supposed to be having. The owner told me about it when we were in there on Saturday and I had been looking forward to it all day. Now that we’ve ordered a crib, I decided I would look at the bedding options in the store since baby bedding is insanely priced. I even told the other mom’s on my e-mail list about the big sale/party and a few were interested in going.

Do you see where this is headed?

I got there and they were closed. No party. No sale. No nothing. I really hope none of the other mothers went. I know it wasn’t my fault (Mike heard the same time and date that I did), but it’s still very embarrassing. Bah.

I got mad and decided that if they were going to trick me like that I wasn’t going to buy my bedding from them. I searched and searched and searched online to find the perfect bedding and finally found it! Too bad it was $330. Seriously, how can anyone spend that much money on a five piece crib set? It’s insane!

Then I went to Overstock.com and found a less than perfect bedding set for $59.99. What a steal! I was mainly looking for a color that would match our room and ended up with a very unlikely choice. May I present you with my new crib set? Of course, only my long time readers will be shocked by my choice. They know all about my crazy fish phobia. I can’t even walk by a goldfish without getting antsy and feeling ill. One time I walked by a trout (or something) and it upset me so much that I puked. I had to balance my need for a turquoise against my fear of slimy sea creatures. Luckily, it seems like this set is focused on the sturdier water animals. I don’t mind a sea horse or star fish. I just can’t stand a wiggly, floppy, slimy fish. *shudder*
