mama shopper

I'm pretty sure I'm officially obsessed with shopping for the (as-yet-unnamed) baby.

Wanna see some of my finds?!

I found this red and black baby carrier at a consignment sale -- it was a steal at $45.
Those things are normally like $100. And, they're all the rage.
I'll look soooo awesome with my baby strapped to me!


This little dress is probably my favorite purchase so far. Technically, it was free because a bank customer gave me a $25 gift card to JC Penney as a gift for the baby. (In real life, it was $20, which is a little more than I want to spend on any one thing that will only fit my baby for the first 0-3 months of her life.)
Don't you think she should wear this dress for her first photo at the hospital??
(I do! Hubs wants her in a Louisville Cardinals sporty onesie or something. Pishawspice.)



I also love and adore this art ($5.99 at TJMaxx) and it's become a bit of inspiration for my nursery design ideas.
I think I'll paint the walls that pretty blue. Don't the pink and brown polka dots just look fantastic with that lovely blue?! (I'll be decorating in the pink and brown family, polka dots and stripes and solids.)

(As a bonus, we could use the same blue room for a boy baby, should we semi-accidentally procreate again in the future.)

"Hubs wants her in a Louisville Cardinals sporty onesie or something."

Fuck. And. That.

You don't want her to grow up constantly drooling all the time and carrying with her an impenetrable aura of body funk, do you? Of course not! She's your little girl!

You need to put the foot down. Or withhold sex. Or kick him in the grundle. One of these options. But the above? It cannot happen.

I vote for the dress to be the first thing little baby wears!! She'll look super cute!

As for the artwork I'm in love!!! You should make her dream of cupcakes, you know those cute little toy overhangs (hopefully you get my drift) find one with cupcakes!!! *Aunty Jen currently googling for cupcake overhang*

I've officially fallen crazy (oh wait... that's no surprise)

I feel it my duty to tell you that the Baby Bjorn carrier is perhaps one of the single most important pieces of baby gear you can possibly get. Particularly great for the grocery store when the babyspice is too little to sit up in the shopping cart and thus can be carried and you arms are free!

possessive

I watched Hoarders last night. During the first commercial break, I dared to look around my living room and I thought, oh holy mother of four-letter-word. Color me cluttered. Yes, it's true that most of my mess is hidden and collecting dust in the dark, but I know what's there -- like the 100+ VHS tapes in my bookshelf/ media cabinet, for instance. Yes, I love knowing that should I desire to watch my old school copy of Riding in Cars with Boys or Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or The Royal Tenembaums or Serendipity or Ghost World or Memento or... okay. You get the picture. It's there. If I wanted it, it would be right there. Also semi-hidden? Probaby 50+ copies of this weekly magazine from the late 1960's - early 1970's called Story of Life. My grandma gave them to me. Have I cracked the cover of even one issue? Hell to the no. I don't have time for that type of nostalgia. Plus, I can't even find a link for it with a quick google search. Something tha...

First Page Blogfester

Preface: TGIF. It has been a day. So. I'm participating in the First Page Blogfest in which writers around the blogosphere post the opening 24 lines of their WIP. (In a "real" book, this is the approximate amount of work that would appear on page 1!) This blogfest is being headed up by Kelly over at Kelly's Compositions . Please check out the other entries and leave them a comment on their work. My own WIP will be featured on Roni's Beta Club next week, and I chose an excerpt from the beginning one chapter one for critque over there, so today I'll give you the true beginning: the opening lines of my prologue. Here goes nothing. My working title is A SAD SONG IN A FLAT KEY Genre: Literary Fictionspice Prologue May 2005      Laurel sits Indian style. She faces the head of her bed and tries to focus on Cafe Terrace at Night, pretending it is priceless artwork instead of a cheap replica. She counts the tables first, and the...
