Ella is funny. She has such cute little quirks. Here are a couple.
- Remember that little baby dinosaur on that sitcom that would always say, “Not the MAMA!”? Well, if Ella was on a sitcom her catchphrase would be, “Oh no, not you again.” I don’t know why she says it, but when her dad walks in the door she will say it, or even sometimes when I walk into a room she will say it. I kind of half expect a laugh track to go off after she does it.
- Speaking of baby dinosaurs, Ella’s new best bud is a little green spotted stuffed dinosaur named… Baby Dino. She lugs that guy everywhere, he’s totally this year’s Elmo. He is starting to fall apart, I’ve had to play surgeon on him six times already!
- As everyone knows: Ella likes pink. She likes princesses. She likes dresses. She likes barbies (ugh.) She is such a priss. When she started like Baby Dino I saw a glimmer of hope she wasn’t going to turn into a Legally Blonde movie. Baby Dino added a little diversity in her life. I mean, he’s not even pink. Yay! But then, one morning when I put on this button up shirt with little red roses all over it (Jenny, you know the one) Ella looks at me and says, “I love your shirt, Mommy. Where’d you buy it from?” The glimmer faded.
So, a day before we decided to buy a house I bought Matt one of those little Ipod shuffles for his birthday. I decided to give it to him early and gave it to him on Friday. Basically, I told Ella and the second Matt came in the door Ella goes, “Dad! We got you a present!”. Anyways, he’s so annoying. He has been listening to it non-stop all weekend. I think he fell asleep listening to it, and this morning he was listening to it too. Argh, I gave Matt another way to ignore me. And I endorsed it.
“Hey Momma. Ya know what?”
“What, Ella?”
“You’re suppose to say DARNIT when you get mad.”
Sorry for the lack of blogs lately folks. Here is my creative reason.
Fun things to do impromptu:
- Go sledding! Yay!
- Roadtrip!
- Elope! Yip Yip!
- Go dancing with your lover boy!
Things you shouldn’t do impromptu:
- Buy a house.
Yeah, its as stressful as you would think. But no regrets. I’ve done plenty of stressful things. Such as:
- Had a baby with a guy that I didn’t think I liked. :)
- Moved half way across the country to a state I had never been to in less than a month’s notice.
- Moved half way back across country in less than a month notice… again.
All right. Basically that little rundown was to pump me up. I’ve had like 7 different crisis’s this week already. You can do this Chrissy, roar.
So, Matt and me are the new homeowners of a 1920’s 2 bedroom bungalow. Yep, homeowners. Wild and crazy homeowners. We got approved last weekend and this weekend we just went ‘looking’ at a few houses. This one was the last one we looked at, and it was not even in the same league as the others in the same price range. It’s adorable. We made a bid on it that afternoon and on Sunday the owners accepted it. We really weren’t planning on it at all, but I guess we’re crazy like that. We just got it inspected yesterday and it’s in great shape. We move in June. I can’t wait to paint me some walls and mow me some yard! Yip Yip! We have plenty of room for guests, so please consider giving us your company. I’m aching to run people around the house pointing out all the cute stuff I love. God, it’s scary though. I about crapped my pants when the Realtor said that they accepted our offer. Anywho, we have already ran into a couple of kinks that have smoothed out easily. It’s gonna be great.
THIS ONE’S FOR MATT. I’m a scooper, Matt is a dipper. And yes, it has caused many fights. Stupid amounts of annoyance. God bless his soul, he never saw it comin’.
Secondly, Alec Baldwin will totally be going ‘to rehab’ for alcoholism or something in the next month. Damage control rehab perhaps? Good grief.
It’s booooootiful out today! Yip Yip Yip! Things are well here:
- We have currently started the househunting process. For crazy reasons beyond my comprehension someone is thinking about loaning us hundreds of THOUSANDS of dollars to get one. There are are about a million super cute little houses in Minneapolis. There are about ten we can afford. :) I’ll let you know.
- I’m wearing sandals today!
- So, it’s to my understanding that alot of women eat yogurt to prevent yeast infections of sorts and other womanly health needs. I think companies should specifically market that fact. What about Vagi-gurt or my favorite Yo-gina. Mmmmm, yummy. (I have a long commute and lots of spare time to think about stupid stuff, all right? Don’t you judge me.)
- I have a new project underway from a craigslist buy. It’s fairly top secret- only my momma knows. Maybe I’ll post pictures when I finish it. IT’S GONNA BE AWESOME.
- Which reminds me of something. Ella started to use the word ‘awesome’. We went walking around Minnehaha falls on Monday and Ella called the water fall AWESOME. Too cute. I’m raising a little Bill or Ted who will one day go on an excellent adventure.
Have a good weekend, ya’ll!
So I just added that little “about me” thing on the side of my blog. It kind of looks like I’m saying: Love a good poop and fart. Please finish the sentence completely before ending there. That is not a confirmed fact. But it kind of makes me giggle.
- Is it pink? Yes: move on to 3. No: Go to 2.
- Is it purple? Yes: move on to 3. No: Toss it, and pull out a bottom lip.
- Does it have Dora/Disney Princesses/flowers/butterflies on it? Yes: move to 4. No: Move to step 4… but be apprehensive.
- Is it a dress? Yes: move on to 5. No: Get it away as quick as possible. Start crying if someone puts it on you. I mean… FREAK OUT.
- Does it have buttons? No: move on to 6. Yes: Don’t wear it. Say, “I don’t like buttons” and fold your arms.
- Is it fairly new, loose feeling and zip in the back? Yes: put it on and feel fabulous. Step 7. No: Try to convince mom another looser more zip friendly newer dress with Dora on it is a better choice.
- Ponytail.
- Pick tights or socks that match.
- Wear shoes that match (i.e. pink shoes or clear sandals (glass slipper look-alikes).
- Annoy the crap out of mom with SUPER picky dress habits.
Today has been a day of supernatural proportions. I saw I guy walking that looked just like one of the Cavemen fellas from Geiko. AND, he was holding a ladyfriends hand. She was not Cro-magnum.
PLUS, I saw Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell driving a car. SWEAR TO GOD.
All right. I’ll write a better one tomorrow. No hate mail please.
