Z is for Zippadee Do Dah!

So, what a month!  I have never written so much in my entire life, at least not on 26 nearly consecutive days...not even my thesis took this much effort!  The month in review....My 7th anniversary, angry bird Easter eggs, art projects, bathroom and several other home renovations, stitches at the hospital for Jackson, strep throat for all but me, planted a garden, I'M PREGNANT, many more medical ailments (I could call this the month of co-pays!), seeing the shuttle, and then a play!  I wonder if I do this much every month.  I've never really written it down before, except in my calendar.  Hmm...Something to think about.  Well, here's to May and all it may bring!  Zippadee do dah day!

Thank you to all my new readers for your comments and consideration and to all my seasoned readers for your continued love and tolerance!  Love you all!

Y is for Yesterday

What a great song...

But, seriously, yesterday, I spent the day with my mother and sister seeing Mary Poppins at the Hippodrome Theater in Baltimore.  We started the day early, stopped by my friend's house so I could deliver the most gorgeous PINK princess dress to her daughter for her 3rd birthday, then we stopped at the B&O Restaurant for brunch, then off to the play!  It was pretty good.  I'm now set on actually reading the book!  To be honest, it never even occurred to me that it was a book.  However, once reading it, I will probably not be able to watch the movie in the same light.  Isn't that always the way?  I feel the same about Wicked, even though, I know that is a completely separate piece of literature from The Wizard of Oz......I now view the Wizard of Oz as a political propaganda meant to sway us to believe Elfaba (sp?) in order to promote the agenda of Oz......anyway, I’m getting totally sidetracked......hmm....oh yes, the play.  It was great and I have been singing "I’m practically perfect, in every way...” for most of the day.  Good stuff!

X is for X-Ray

yep, i'm THAT lame!  Recently had an x-ray of my hand as part of my diagnosis of carpal tunel (tunnel sp?).  Took a picture of the x-ray with my cellphone to show Mikey because he'd think it was cool, and thus, I have something to post today!  I bet there will be quite a few X-rays out there today....or maybe it's just me!

W is for Winter

As I’ve mentioned before, I love the Holidays.  I guess you could say that I crave the Holidays!  I love the smells, the preparations, the projects, etc.  This year I have an even bigger reason to crave that time of year.  A big reason in a small package!  I imagine around 21 inches long and probably pushing 9 lbs (based on my last little package).  This special delivery also means that I will get to pursue the Holidays even earlier just to make sure that I am prepared!!  So excited!

V is for Vision

I have a vision that someday I will finish my projects.
I have a vision that someday my grown children will fall all over themselves to take care of things around my house.
I have a vision that I will lose 100 lbs and be a stunningly beautiful MILF.
I have a vision that if my previous visions actually came to light, that I might be bored with life......
Vision over.

U is for Unkempt

not much to write about tonight, so I thought a word lesson would work.  My sister once told me about an argument she had with someone about the word Unkempt.  The other girl swore it was Unkept and that my sister was nuts.  Sorry, Other girl, you're wrong!

T is for Talking

So, I’m very much winding down on the ideas and writing thing......it's a good thing we're on T!  I've also noticed that I am not capturing as many readers or followers as I was in the beginning, oh well, so I’m boring.  That's news.  *insert sarcasm here*.  I am listening to my son talking.  It’s a never ending train of thoughts piled on top of thoughts mixed with random noises his body and mind have insisted he make and topped off with a "Mommy!!!  Mommy!!  Mommyyyyy!!!  And to think, I had him tested because he didn't really say anything until he was nearly 3.  It's like the parents (I’m guilty with the first one) who try and try and try to get their babies to walk at 8 months......you think you are rip-roaring ready for all of those milestones....you're baby has to be THE ONE!  It takes about a week before you realize how easy they were when they stayed where you put them.  Even when they crawl...at least you can kind of follow the path of destruction and yes, they can crawl fast, but not nearly as fast as when they figure out how to, as my Pastor once described, "purposely lift a foot, fall forward, and catch themselves over and over and over again.  Otherwise known as 'walking'".  Then they are gone.  Oh they come back on a regular basis for the cuddles and the 'ups!', but they are pretty much carving out their own path and they are on their way.  Inevitable and bittersweet.  

Silver lining = learn to walk means learn to do chores! :)
