– My grandmother texted me to ask if she should check out these new books from the library called “Veronica Mars.”
– Scarlette has started shaking people’s hands when she meets them. And by “meets” I mean runs up to total strangers, grabs their hand and starts pumping it up and down enthusiastically while saying “HI MY NAME SCHARWUT, WHAT YOUR NAME? OH! IT BERY TO MEET YOU *NAME* DO YOU WIKE MY FWIP FWOPS? DEY ARE NOT SHOES, DEY ARE JUST MY FWIP FWOPS. DEY GOT A FWOWER ON DEM.”
(One person remarked to me “Oh how adorable! She shakes!” And I smiled nicely but in my head I was all “That was oddly phrased as though my child is a puppy.”)
– At Mom 2.0 we went to a super posh restaurant and I just don’t do fancy well, y’all. Fancy just highlights all my awkward. So what I did was, I sipped on a single glass of moscato all night and then later as we left, I got all buckled into the backseat of the car and then I realized that I still had my half full wine glass in my hand. And when I went to get out of the car and return said wine glass to said restaurant I discovered that I was locked in on account of the child locks and so the valet had to come over and open my car door and take the inadvertently stolen wine glass from me. He did not even try not to laugh. YOU CAN’T TAKE ME ANYWHERE.
– I made these free printable scripture encouragement cards/magnets for Mothers Of Daughters (you can download them there) and therefore was totally able to justify buying that laminator and 500 pack of laminating pouches with the use of a well placed WWJD?
– Speaking of WWJD, I was running so late to church the other morning that I didn’t get a chance to eat breakfast so I poured myself a protein shake in my brand new, never before used tervis tumbler. As I backed out of the driveway I noticed it sitting on the trunk of the car in my rearview mirror. And y’all, it made it halfway down the hill on the top of my car and then when I STOPPED to grab it it fell off and broke. And it’s possible that I might have been slightly ragey about the whole thing and picked up the broken tumbler and hurled it at the house where it then shattered onto my driveaway. I blame this on the fact that I was very hangry. And then I noticed my neighbors watering their bushes and waved to them in my church clothes as I got back in the car to drive off for Sunday morning service.
I was contemplating that little “spirit filled” moment when Scarlette piped up from the back seat “Mommy, it is NOT NICE to frow fings.”
Parenting: Nailed it.
And in a bonus #6, my website got a makeover! Like, a real one, not just me playing designer.
If you read in a reader you won’t see anything different but if you click over to visit http://kaylaaimee.com you’ll see a few new things, like the beautiful new logo that Jen Kinkade hand lettered for me (I love looking at the eye candy in her gallery even though I haven’t scrapbooked in ages.)
If you just have the site bookmarked you’ll still see the newest posts on the front page, or you can bookmark http://kaylaaimee.com/blog to go straight to the blog. I loved both this theme and this theme from Restored 316 Designs (affiliate links) and then Julie from Blogger Boutique helped me merge the two so that I could have the design I was envisioning – because I am trying to be somewhat professional looking and all.
