Random...

Things that are on my mind at 8:37 on a Thursday...
1. My new year's resolution is to become a scarf girl. I am going to wear scarves out and be hip. I currently own four scarves. I have only worn one, but I am planning on going all out and wearing one to my work meeting tomorrow-I am so freaking hip.

2. I have 9 weeks before my baby girl comes and I am so not prepared. No nursery, no new clothes, nothing. Not even a middle name-poor girl. But I am so over the moon for her already! I can't wait to meet her.

3. I have caramel cheesecake in the fridge-now I am going to rush through this blog so I can eat an extremely large piece.

4. I wish I was a really really good singer. I wish I was on American Idol.

5. I am quite certain that I have the smartest two year in the world. I should probably start saving money for Harvard.

6. I have so many other random thoughts, but I can't stop thinking about that cheesecake!

G'night!

BJ's, The Police, and a Boycott

So Friday night I get to go on a girls night. I hadn't been on a girls night in forever, so I was pretty excited. I met my new friends from work up at the Billy Frog's in La Vista. We ordered dinner and were having a blast. Things got crazy when they ordered some blow job shots and we had to see who could do them the official blow job shot way (hands behind your back, mouths only.) Jen and Danielle took em down like champs-I couldn't (btw, my shots were soda-I do have some morals!)

So a few more friends join us and we are still having a great time. Then some guy comes over and asks if we want to buy a wristband and get "$1 you call its" We say no thanks, we will pay full price and he goes "Well, you have to buy the wristband or you have to leave." Seriously? We start to get upset, and decide we will finish our drinks and leave. We are in La Vista people, not downtown Vegas!! $5 cover after we have been there since 6...I think not.

So the guy goes to tell on us, and the manager comes over. My friend Jen, who I think is the coolest, starts to argue with him and tells him "With a policy like that you are going to go out of business" Wrong thing to say, cause he asks us to leave...we say no, we are going to finish our drinks-at which point he send the POLICE officer over to escort us out. For reals!

So I am officially starting a boycott of the Billy Frog's in La Vista. Please spread the word to all of your friends and family. I am determined to take this place DOWN!

But, I'm actually pretty proud of myself. I have never been kicked out of a bar, and to do so at 7 months pregnant-that is classy people!!

Love,

JLo

This is the best ever!

Kendall and I had a girls night tonight, and headed to Sesame Street Live. Ryan and I had talked about taking her, but with our Christmas spending, I thought it was out of the question. Then, yesterday, we were driving home from dinner and Kendall was singing along to her Elmo cd at the top of her lungs. Ryan suggested that the two of us ladies go to the show (turns out he just wanted some time to watch football in peace and quiet.)


So I purchased tickets this morning and got Kendall all revved up about going to the Elmo show. I even used it as a bribe the night before (No more crying and we can go see Elmo. I should write a parenting book I know!)

So on our way home from lunch today, it is like an ice rink on the roads. I am freaking out because there is no way a pregnant lady should be driving her 2 year old all the way downtown to watch a sesame street show. I am upset that I will be out $50... and I'm not sure how I will break this news to Kendall...

Well, my sweet pigtailed little girl wakes up from her nap, jumps up, looks at me and says "I'm ready!" So we go (The roads were totally fine, not bad at all)

We get into the Qwest Center and she looks at me and says "Mom, this is the best ever." And it was. The show was a little long for me, but Kendall was in heaven with her cotton candy and the fact that Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird were all on stage singing to her.

And the fact that she peed her pants while sitting on my leg...well even that didn't ruin one of my best nights ever!

Eating cotton candy (notice how big the bag is...the girl took the whole thing down-well, okay she had a little help from mom and baby sister...)

New Years Resolution

So, my new years resolution is to actually write this blog. I hope to update it a few times a week. Who wants to bet that this lasts until the end of January...
I guess the reason I quit writing was because I never thought that anything that happened in my life was worth blogging. But I have decided that I have a fabulous life and I'm sure that everyone wants to read about it.

For example, my daughter is fabulously funny, and cute, and smart. But most importantly, the girl is funny. Today I handed her a dollar bill so she could buy "lunch" and she immediately told me it was her map. She consulted this "map" all day. It was helping her find pirates, because this week she is obsessed with pirates. She even showed me the pirate on the map (George Washington). When I explained that actually he wasn't a pirate, he was the first president she said "Umm no mom, he's a pirate!" Whatev.... She even had to sleep with her map, and she just told me that she is going to follow the map and climb the mountain...oh, and she wants me to tell you that she loves her map and it was the best thing she got for Christmas...good thing I spent a few hundred dollars on toys...

As far as baby Logan goes, she appears to be doing well. Just in the past few days she has started learning karate!!! She likes to kick me while I'm eating, which is not the most comfortable thing in the world. I am just beginning to feel uncomfortable, not good since I still have 3 whole months to go. I think we have a name picked out, just working on the middle name...it is a secret so don't even ask!!
