What all the cool babies are wearing this season

If you haven't heard already, Polly Tod is a new online store featuring cool baby clothes and because Bear is the most happening thing this side of daycare I am so getting him some of their shirts.



I love this one.

Every mommy blogger should be obligated to buy this one



Go check them out and see all the funky t-shirts. I'll post a picture of Bear in one when I get it.

Happy Birthday Bear

Then



Now



We've come a long way, baby

100 and counting..

In celebration of my 100th post my boss let me go home early today. No, not really. Although that would have been awesome. She did however let me go home early today because of some work being done to our A/C at the office. They were hammering and pulling down ceiling tiles, they shut off the air, and they were using some kind of glue that made me feel like mickey mouse on crack. I'm supposed to be diligently working on my laptop I brought home but I thought she wouldn't mind if I took a break to watch the One Trill Hill episode I had recorded. I'm already loving this season.

I'm waiting on my friend to call me back about our big plans to watch Lost tomorrow night. We need to decide on a game plan for dinner so as not to interupt any of the TV watching. And whats up with this episode they are airing tonight? It said online that it is some kind of "enhanced" episode to get people caught up? I dunno. I guess I'm just supposed to watch and not ask questions like the good like sheep that I am. Baa..

When I picked up Bear at daycare today the teachers made a big production of the fact that tomorrow is his birthday. And of course I need to bring cupcakes so they can take pictures and celebrate. Seriously? They said I didn't have to bring cupcakes for the whole class (they are all under 1) but I could bring at least one for him and there was some serious hinting about extras for the teachers. They were joking in that way that tells you that they are only half-joking. So being the teacher pleaser that I am, of course, I am going to go buy some freaking cupcakes for his birthday tomorrow. I know I don't have to but now that its out there I will feel like a witch if I don't. Somebody should get me a freaking cupcake for all the hell I went through giving birth a year ago but whatever. I'm not bitter.


At least I still have the leftover cake and cupcakes from this weekend to appease me.

Good deals at The Children's Place

I bought some things on The Children's Place website 1 1/2 weeks ago. They came in tonight and I am really excited. I got 2 pairs of pants, 1 onesie, 1 fleece pullover, 1 shirt, and 2 pairs of shoes with tax and shipping for $35.00. They are all for next winter except the shoes. They still have some of the deals going on if you are interested in checking it out. Check out the monster deals at the bottom of the page.

Nothing to see here

I have been busily entertaining myself (aka frantically typing like my life depended on it) by signing up for the giveaways hosted by Shannon at Rocks in my Dryer. My site meter is going a little wonky at due to the throng of people flocking to my site to sign up for my Sephora gift card. I have way more response this time than I did with the Fall Y'all giveaway. I don't know if its because the prize is better or that there are more participants. Maybe its just that we have all been crazed by greed at the sight of all that free stuff.

Besides that life is going along as usual. We survived the weekend of guests, cooking, and cleaning. The housekeepers came yesterday and scrubbed away the last of the errant icing from the kitchen floor. The highchair has been hosed off outside and its cushion has been washed. We are having another couple over on Thursday to watch the Season Premiere of Lost and if the show wasn't so great I would probably be ashamed of how excited I am about this. We have several friends coming over Sunday to watch the Superbowl. I think this is our punishment for having the best floor plan for entertaining and the biggest TV. Damn you karma.

It will be fun but after this I am retiring from the hostess business for a bit. Drinking beer and cooking at same time is not only tiring but possibly dangerous. For the food and for me. I have been invited to an out of town baby shower in February and I'm not sure if I am up to going. Then I have another baby shower in March and another friend just announced his wife is pregnant and due in September. We just went through this baby shower spurt 2 years ago when they had their first babies and now round two is upon us. My next door neighbor is due on Feb 6th. Soon people will begin asking us when we will be having another. I hope soon but we'll have to see how the finances look. Definitely not until after my vacation in May. I refuse to ride 10 hours in the car pregnant. I do not travel well while pregnant.
