1. How many credit cards do you own? Are they paid off? 5-One Visa that I use WAY too much for day to day stuff, a Chase card that has a balance that we're paying off, a Kohl's card for the awesome deals, Menards and Home Depot. Chase card is not paid off, but will be by the end of the year. Menards and Home Depot have landscaping and appliances and they'll be paid off within 3 months.
2. Can you be in love with someone you don't trust? I don't think so.
3. Should prostitution be legal? Honestly, I don't really care. It's going to take place anyway.
4. On a scale of 1-10, how good of a lover do you think you are? (1 is lowest, 10 is highest) Mike seems to be a happy camper so I'd say a 7.
5. What are three mistakes someone could make on the first date with you that would automatically make you turn down a second date with them?
I haven't really dated much, but if someone was rude to the waitress or other customer service person, if they were condescending, and if they smelled bad.
Bonus (as in optional): Tell us about your worst date ever. Kind of sad, but I never really went on very many dates. The 2 boyfriends I had in college, we just sort of "hooked up" and were together. I went on a first date with Mike and it was obviously good!

My Baby is 4!
I still can't believe it. I'm really having a hard time with this birthday. Maybe it's because 4 seems so OLD, kwim?
We had a really nice day, I took off so we could spend it together. My parents came up, and we all played outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. In the afternoon, we went to buy some flowers so Paige could have her own flower garden. I told her she could pick out whatever she wanted and she would be in charge of it. She thought that was pretty cool. While we were there, my mom and I started to look at shrubs, and almost $300 later, the front of my house has all new shrubs in it! My dad kept Paige occupied while my mom and I planted about 12 new shrubs in the front. We cooked on the grill and ate outside, which Paige loves to do. She opened a few presents and we ate the cupcakes my mom brought. It was such a nice day and I'm dreading going back to work. I have a long day tomorrow too, a car seat appointment at 5:45. UGH.
I made this movie to celebrate Paige's 4th birthday, let me know what you think!!!

Mom's Night Out
OK, for some reason I'm feeling the need to get this out. It's really not that big of a deal, but I think I'll feel better. WTF is my problem?
So my mom's group had a mom's night out (commonly called an MNO) last night at Atlanta Bread Company. It was called "Ask Anything over Coffee" where we wrote down questions anonymously and went around and answered them. There was probably about 12 of us there.
For some reason last night I felt like a bumbling idiot last night! Everyone else was all prettied-up because they probably had time to get ready, opposed to me who left the house at 8:30am, worked until 5:30pm, ran to a rummage sale, then to Atlanta Bread without going home. So I was kind of stressed about that. Then for some reason because I think people see me as the "funny one" I have to put on this big show and make people laugh all the time. I felt like I couldn't stop talking and all I wanted to do was shut up and sit there quietly. I also felt like I was making a huge ass of myself and probably turning some people off since I was coming off as an obnoxious loudmouth. AGH!!!!
I should have left early, but I stayed until the bitter end. I think I have to tell myself to just chill out, I don't have to impress anyone, and just be myself!!!

Knot in My Stomach
I just looked up the first day of school for the 2008-2009 school year and it's September 2nd. That will be Paige's first day of 4 year old kindergarden. She'll ride a bus to her school, St. Anthony's. As I was putting that date on my work calendar, I started to get a knot in my stomach and I'm on the verge of tears thinking about my baby going to school. The same little baby I brought home from the hospital and fed at 2am is going to get on a bus and go to school. I wish I could put into words how I feel, but I think my mama friends get it.
I always get a little sad around her birthday too. I tend to spend a lot of time looking at baby pictures and little movies we took on our camera. It's just amazing how fast they grow and change. I think I'll put together a slideshow of her the past 4 years. I better get back to work before I really lose it!

TMI Tuesday
Copied from a different blog; thought it was fun!
How many cell phones have you had? How long have you had your current cell phone number?
I think I've had this same number since Mike and I got cell phones together right around our wedding. So almost 7 years. I think I've had 4 cell phones. I remember my very first one, it was this huge yellow thing, but I thought it was so cool! Is this really a TMI question?
Where was the last place you had sex?
On my bed.
On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with your love life? (1 is lowest, 10 is highest)?
9, my husband is awesome and I love him a lot. He's not perfect though!
Does Bliss sound like a fun game to you? Have you ever played it?
I've never heard of it, so I don't know.
Is there anything or anyone you would be willing to die for?
Paige.
Bonus (as in optional): If you were (or had) a magic genie and could only grant wishes for others and you only had three left, what would they be and who would they be for?
1. That Paige is always healthy and happy in life.
2. That my sister and BIL will have a healthy baby (I'm sure they will, but it's still a wish)
3. That my single mom divorced friend meets a nice guy and gets remarried.

In Between
So Paige is very annoyingly in between sizes right now. She's shot up to 44 inches, and has been growing in her legs. On one hand good because her TCP tops from last summer fit this summer. She's NEVER been able to wear clothes from a previous season.
However, size 4 pants are a bit too short, and size 5's are a little too long. She gets super annoyed when her pants are too long and rolls them up to a ridiculous length. Size 4 underwear are too small, size 6's are too big. Why they don't make size 5, I'm not sure.
I've also noticed that she's outgrown a few of her size 10 shoes, but a few of them still fit. Size 10-11 flip flops from TCP are too small, but the 12-13's fit. AGH!!!! So today, we go shoe shopping and what an ordeal. She's measuring around an 11.5 and I've been stuffing her into 10s!!! So after trying on a variety of size 11 and 12 shoes, we finally leave there with 2 cute pairs of shoes. (BOGO half off, so you HAVE to get 2!) I also got 2 pairs of sandals. I still have those croc/mary jane type shoes from TCP size 11 that I want to try on her, we'll see if they fit.
It seriously took us a half hour this morning to get her dressed. It started innocently enough with me asking her to pick out a ponytail holder that would match her clothes (we were going bowling with a friend and I wanted to pull her hair back.) She decides she wants to wear turquoise blue ponies which didn't match her clothes. So being super anal mom that I am, I tell her to pick out a shirt that matches the blue ponytail holders. We find one that matches, and I tell her to get dressed. She has her size 6 undies on and she's whining because "my underwear are all goofy." I've discovered that she can't wear jeans now because they make the size 6's bunch up and the too small size 4's ride up her hiney. So we try on several pairs of both the 4 and 6 undies with the jeans and nothing works. So I pick out black yoga pants that match the blue shirt. Fine. FINALLY after braiding her hair to her satisfaction, we attempt to put on the unbeknownst to me too small shoes which sets both of us off. Finally she wears her Dora tennies. AGH!!!!! She was very mis matched and it annoyed the crap out of me. It also made us 10 minutes late.
Damn high maintenence girls.
