On a whim (Goodbye to this blog)
I’ve decided to start a new blog and will be no longer posting on this blog. I’m paranoid about family seeing what I write so I haven’t been as honest as I’d like.
Message me if you want the link to my new blog. I’ll follow some people myself though.

Mom Blogs
Today I realized that even though I mostly follow mom blogs, my favorite blogs to follow are the few that aren’t mom blogs. Not saying I don’t like the mom blogs…it’s just that my entire life is being a mom, I like being reminded that there is more than just being a mom. My favorite part of the mom blogs I follow are when the mom’s don’t talk about being moms,...

Today Just Sucked
It just did. I’m tired, I am SO tired. I’ve been a bit of a shit mom lately, though who am I kidding, I believe I will forever be ridden by mother’s guilt. Just another reason I will never have another child, I can’t bare to wear the weight of twice the guilt.
I’ve been having trouble sleeping. Today sucked just sucked and for no seemingly strong reason other than...

oh-for-fawkes-sake replied to your post: Reading
Don’t think I’m incredibly weird or anything, but as far as reading and movies go, I LOVE incestuous story lines!!! They’re so unexpected and take the forbidden love thing to the highest level. Haha ok maybe I am a little weird. HAHA
I completely understand! I think I’m just so used to reading Young Adult novels where pushing the limits...

I’m starting to like Game of Thrones better…but I can’t get over the incest.
So much incest.

Milestones and Wine
So tonight, as I was cooking, I opened up the freezer and saw the lemon lime margarita flavor frozen bag of wine and next to it a bag of pumped milk…it was a sign.
So I drank it (well ate it). Because I rarely drink I should be embarrassed to say (but I’m not because that would be dumb) I actually got almost drunk off of it. It was fun. I always eat a lot when I’m drunk though...

Ranting about random things and nothings
I have ridiculously long frizzy red hair. It’s so long that I can only wear it in a pony tail or braids without looking odd. If I lived near the beach this would not be the case, I would just let my hair go and let the ocean water (I’ve noticed Pacific ocean water more than Atlantic ocean water) do wonders to my hair.
I’m working on this whole losing weight thing again....

Foods.
I just made the world’s most ballin artichoke white pita pizza. Was it worth the time it took my inept hands to chop onion, garlic, and bay leaves? Was it worth the humungous mess in the kitchen that I have yet to clean?
Hell no, nothing is worth that.

Sleepy Cuteness
Dexee woke up, sat up in bed, looked at me, I said hi, then she looked down at the bed, fell face forward into the mattress and was asleep. I’m pretty sure she fell asleep mid fall.

Happy Day.
Yesterday was awesome.
I had a lot of fun with friends at Dag practice yesterday.
I’ve lost over a pound in the last couple of days. (Thank you breastfeeding!)
Dexee said her first recognizable word at dag practice (it’s possible she’s said dada before but it’s hard to tell because she says da da da da all the time). She said mama! I had just taken her diaper off and let...

“I do not know much about writing rap lyrics, but I’m guessing that most rappers...”
– GZA and Neil deGrasse Tyson team up on a hip-hop record about science (via poptech)
Whoa I want to listen to this!

Maybe Patrick and I will both like rap now!

Fried Tofu
Fried Tofu for breakfast!
I’ve been forcing myself to eat smaller portions lately (I often can’t tell when I’m full…it’s either, I’m hungry or I never want to eat again but die instead…I’m sure a lot of people know how that is). Anyway, it worked, for the most part I can tell when I’m full now woohoo! I lost 12 pounds a couple months ago, was...

Pea Puree Hooray
I just watched my half naked 8 month old daughter get super excited, flap her arms, and throw up pea puree.
My maternal instinct is forcing me to find that incredibly adorable.

Baby Toys and Town Houses
Dexee needs more toys. Right now she only has one that she is interested in, a really old hand me down child’s piano (it may be old, hand me down, and out of tune but it is still super awesome, plus it has a new paint job) that I got from a friend. She likes it because she can pick herself up to stand and than bang on the keys. I need to get her more stuff like that.
I should start going to...
save--tomorrow asked: Just watched some vids of you and Dexee :) so freaking cute. And I'm sad to see The Gemma Doyle trilogy isn't in your top threee. It's my number one.

Shirataki Noodles
Are not bad.
I tried the tofu shirataki noodles today (as opposed to the straight up yam flour shiritaki, which is also not bad).
You just have to hold your nose when you wash them. The fettuccine version is a little off because of the texture though, other than that it’s pretty good. The fettuccine packet came with a delicious Alfredo sauce recipe on the back which was just 2 table spoons...

Tally, Katniss, and Beatrice.
The other day I realized that I have three different book trilogies (well, one is actually a saga) that are my favorite and they all pretty much have the same concept.
The Uglies
The Hunger Games
and the trilogy I’m reading right not that I already know is one of my top three now, Divergent.
They are all dystopian novels in which a strong female lead in her teens finds herself trying to...

Divergent (the book)
*Spoilers* (er kind of, you probably should have seen it coming)
In the book I am reading (well, read past tense, I am on book two now) you don’t find out what the main male’s real name is until about half way through. His name was Four and to me Four was all hunky and bad ass…and then I found out his real name is Tobias…
Now this is what comes to mind instead.

A Cow Goes By
So we just had a tornado warning and I all I did was panic.
But that’s okay. I stir fried chicken, tofu, and shiritaki noodles when I was done panicking. Was delicious, though regret not picking up any veges. And it was almost healthy, but I drenched it in general tso sauce.
This morning I had some apple slices and an over easy egg on an English muffin with avocado spread. I felt good...

Poop
So after half an hour of sleeping Dexee woke up from her nap, climbed on me, and farted a bunch. She smelled so I checked her diaper, there was a little turd…but she wasn’t finished pooping. I wrapped her back up and let her go than wiped her up again. As I was about to wrap her in her new diaper I saw her but cheeks strain, her face get red, and than she groaned. I didn’t want...

As Dexee Naps, I Blog
So Today I decided to get my fat ass out of the house and go for an extra long walk with Dexee in the stroller.
I’ve started putting Dexee in the front facing stroller instead of attaching her car seat to it, even though she is still a bit small. I love it. Because she’s not facing me it’s like I get me time while still being with her, and she really enjoys being taken out in...

Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Whatever People Say I am, That’s What I’m Not will always be my favorite album. I might even love it more than Hot Fuss.

peashooter85 asked: I saw your post where someone asks you why you have a gun in your apartment while raising a baby. I did grow up with guns and know a lot about them. There are many companies out there that offer quick access safes where you just enter a pin number or even scan your thumbprint. Look up these companies- Barska, Homak, V-line, Stack-on, and GunVault. Probably could be found at any sporting goods...

Candy and Soda
I’m waiting for Patrick to come back with my Diet Dr. Pepper and Reeses Cups.
He doesn’t support this bad habbit of mine…but there are two things that I can bribe him with and they always work. Actually, it’s not a bribe, it’s a trade.
So like I said, waiting.

Zombie Apocalypse
I am not down with all this zombie apocalypse shit.
My worst fucking nightmare.
When I read about the happenings in Florida I promptly locked all of the doors and confirmed the location of our gun/ ammo.
I live in Northern Virginia (aka Washington D.C. suburbs) and I have a baby (babies cry). If Z day were to happen we would be fucked as soon as we ran out of ammo.
On the bright side,...

Tired.
I was woken up at 7:30 by a monster climbing baby and I am bitter. I can’t wait for nap time.
