Texts from my day

Some of these snippets from text messages that I either sent or received today could be fodder for writing prompts. Or maybe they just struck me as amusing.  Either way, context is everything.

Don’t you hate it when a guy is super cute but has bad hair?

Irrational thought process of the day…”just exercised…am still fat…this sh!t doesn’t work”…

You are awesome.

Big news…Zachary has a crush on her and she knows where her lady parts are and how to say it…Oh, those things are not related.

I’m having a blog identity crisis.

FYI,  final count from my driving in TN is 38 abandoned cars.

a list: foot date dance travel haircut

• Doctor appointment (again) two weeks ago. X-rays showed no change in the foot but it was feeling some better so as of this past Friday I had permission to start weaning off the boot a little bit. Back for more x-rays in two more weeks. It’s sore and although I am walking a bit better, I really can’t imagine being able to run on it without pain. One day I guess I’ll look back on this and it will be no big deal but as of now I’m sick of it. I found my Garmin while cleaning  this weekend and I flipped out. At this point I’m just plain angry. And over it. I’ve fallen off the gym and eating healthier wagon, as I tend to do. I’m still 10 pounds down from December but just kind of don’t care anymore. Stupid runners and their races and their stupid….running.
• The Accountant and I had a lovely night out last night. The “new” babysitter came for round 2 and since kiddo announced this morning that “Lindsey is my best friend”, I guess that’s working out quite famously. Hubs and I went to dinner and round about town, then to BB Kings for some good music and people watching. 2012′s Mission Monthly Date Night is progressing fantastically (is that a word?)  so far.
• Kiddo is signed up for dance classes, hence the tap shoe pic in the previous post.  Ballet, tap, jazz dance classes start in a couple of weeks and she’s pumped. Who knows if she’ll like it or not but I’m glad she is enthusiastic about trying new things. After this, maybe another round of swim classes, or more dance, or gymnastics or fencing or something. Kidding people. I’m not “that” mom. But whatever she shows interest in, we’ll pursue and try, within reason.
• I’m in vacation planning mode and hope to book next week for the spring. Hello beach time. They’ll be some travel for work in the next few weeks as well. A short term pacifier for my wanderlust. I was a hobo in another life. The Accountant mentioned returning to Paris for our 15th Anniversary. Sans kiddo. Mom, are you reading this? We’ll need a babysitter for about a week solid in 2014. I’d like to book now please.
• Kiddo’s first haircut ever. Documented below. And by the lock of hair and receipt I have in a plastic bag in a drawer in the kitchen. Mom’s do weird and creepy things.
