one last post for the day...

Well I am trying to type without making too many typos. Yesterday I decided to get acrylic nails. They are weird. I haven't had them in about 10 years. They have actually come a long way. I never knew all the crazy options you have with different colors, styles, etc. My nails are just constantly breaking lately so I thought this could save them a bit. They are super thick and weird. But they're pretty, the color won't chip and they won't break as easily, so that's cool.

The other thing I just noticed is that Finn is in the same outfit in 90% of his pictures. That's funny. Probably no one would notice that but me, but now you can all see for yourselves. I noticed after my friend Kelly posted about our trip to the museum and Finn was in the same outfit. He wore it to the Gateway the other day and wore it Monday for the first day of school. What can I say - I guess I really like it and he looks pretty cute in it. I do actually wash it in between wears. And he does own more than one outfit. I swear.


My dad has been pretty busy during my parents' visit with a job he's trying to get out (he works independently since he retired), so he felt bad that he was MIA during their visit. So they decided to extend their visit until Friday. So tomorrow we will probably be going to the zoo, weather permitting. I am hoping that will go ok. Finn has preschool and then we will just go after that. Usually we skip his nap anyway on zoo days so I'm hoping it won't backfire. I was thinking he would be extra tired after school (all that playing/learning?) but Monday he didn't take a nap at all and then we went to Candace's for nails and he played with Ari and Cougan for 3 1/2 hours and never got cranky.


Sadly I fear we are approaching the days of no nap required. He still will take a nap, but on the days he does he has a hard time falling asleep at bed time and gets out of his bed a million times. On the days of no nap - he falls right to sleep without any stall tactics. It is just sad to think that the days of naps are coming to a close. I sure do enjoy nap time - because I can get a lot done and because I can take a nap too if I choose to. Very sad to lose that.


So tonight was my first of 3 Pampered Chef shows this week. It was insane. This gal had like 30 women there. She had to split the group between 2 rooms and I had to stand between these two rooms and talk to people. They were all friends and all just gabbed the entire show. I will be surprised if I still have a voice tomorrow. I was talk/yelling as loud as I could over everyone talking over me. I did a VERY abbreviated show and then just took people's orders - which took like an hour in itself. I didn't get any bookings sadly, but I think with her last orders that will be coming in from those who couldn't make it, her show may be my first $1000 show which sure would be cool!

Anyway, that's my news for today. Hope everyone else had a great day! Happy hump day.
