Dr appointment & Reese

These are the 2 reasons I've missed Oprah Monday & Tuesday, the same 2 reasons I didn't write a blog either of those days.  Monday I had a DR appointment, and wouldn't you know it was scheduled at 425, so that means I had to leave before 4 to get there & they were behind, so I didn't even get home until after 630.  On Tuesday, I decided Reese needed a bath.  Luckily, her groomers were able to take her & since we were already out Saige & I went shopping.  I bought Saige her Christmas outfits (Christmas Eve and Day) and a few newborn sized outfits because she's still too little for 0-3mos.  Then I got my eyebrows waxed, it looked like I had caterpillars on my face, YUCK!  By the time I got back home from getting Reese picked up and having a day out it was after 5, again no Oprah.  Anywho, because I said it, I will write it... my favorite things (non material)

1.  Holidays (Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas) with my family.  We (my side of the family) have big traditions when it comes to the holidays.  I love love love spending it with them & being able to share them with Cam, and now we get to share them with Saige.  Easter is always at my Grandma's where she makes THE BEST pot roast & rolls, Christmas Eve is at my mom's with the BEST meatloaf, Christmas morning is at my Grammy's for breakfast followed by afternoon at Grandma's, and then Thanksgiving alternates between the 2 grandparents every year.  I'm not really looking forward to starting my own tradition at all.

2. Going to the grocery store... ALONE!  Now, some may call me crazy (in fact, my mother does) but there is just something about the grocery store that is therapeutic.  I hate going with anyone (other than my mom) because they drive me nuts (sorry Cam).  I know which way I need to make my rounds, what aisle to stay in a little longer than others and don't have to worry about someone saying "can we get moonpies?"  Really, you're in a grocery store with millions of items and you ask for a box of moonpies?

3.  Reese time.  Although lately it seems like I've had less and less Reese time, I cherish every moment that I have... she's hilarious!  I mean, what other person can say their dog is part deer, squirrel, & shark?

4. Watching Saige grow every single day!  Stay tuned for my next post- I'll update there.

5.  Hanging out at home with Cam watching movies.  Now, this is a favorite as long as he's not here critiquing everything about the movie, or talking through it.  Those two things seem to be very difficult for my sweet husband... but still he tries.

6.  Singing, loudly in the car.  I am a fan of a huge variety of music and I will go from one extreme to the next.  Saige was witness to that in the womb, one day we went from listening to 50 cent to Elton John then Paramore.  Cam has been victim to me belting out Queen's "bohemian rhapsody" and "another one bites the dust" (his personal favorite lol).  Now, there are times when you want those "ballad" type songs and other when you want your party girl songs and the days in between when you feel like you're a true rap artist (thank you Jay-z, Lil Wayne, & Eminem).

7.  No holds barred conversations with my family!  These will have even the most prude ladies rolling (I can prove this) and some of the most open, honest, "nassy™" girls blushing.  Seriously, I mean no holds barred, anyone can be a victim and it can take place at anytime.  I will not go into detail here the topics of conversation, if you should ever experience it, consider yourself luck =)
