Because I’m long-winded, even in Haiku. Geez.

[Written Thursday night.]

Ugh, I am so beat.
It was a very long day.
So ready to crash.

[Please ignore my zit.
Stop looking at it, I said!
My skin is 'teh suck.']

This afternoon, John
left for the road once again.
Only home two days.

But, you know, at least
he was home for those two days,
and we had some time.

On Tuesday we went
to this really cool lake beach
and we had a blast!

Recommended by
Meredith, and we owe her
big thanks – we loved it!

But today, John left.
Then Braden took a twenty
minute nap going home.

Car naps suck so big.
Someone should tell these dumb kids -
THAT DOES NOT SUFFICE!

He also gave me
another Scatastrophe.
I’m used to it now.

Lawn mower would not
cooperate with me, argh!
I kicked its ass, though.

Mowed most of the lawn.
Do not mow lawn in flip flops.
I know this… but, duh.

This one was not bad
once it was cleaned up, but first
there was so much blood!

I’m often reckless.
It’s probably the reason
I get hurt so much.

Anyway, to make
a long-winded ‘Ku series
a lil’ bit shorter…

Ugh, I am so beat.
It was a very long day.
So ready to crash.

Oh! Almost forgot!
Project Support Beauty in
Nature post up soon!

Next one will publish
Monday, April 14th, so
get your posts ready!

Mr. Linky will
be waiting for you to put
your U-R-L in.

Now, I crawl away…
time to sleep and prepare for
yet another day.

I’m Getting Addicted

Okay, my last dose of Mommy Blogger Playdate Anti-Depressant (MoB PAD?) was just last Thursday, and already Alli (Mrs. Fussypants) invited me over to her lovely home for another “let’s see if we can raise those levels of dopamine” date, this time with bonus Nashville players!  Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

[Please, Mommies, don't stab me in the head.  I know how very, very lucky I am!  I am working on a MoB PAD Service for ya'll!]

I arrived Monday morning, 10am-ish, and everyone’s favorite Fabulous Mommy was looking as gorgeous as ever.  And can you believe that I have STILL NOT RUBBED HER BABY BUMP?  Alli, honey, please remind me to grope you innappropriately the next time I’m over.  Oh, and after that, I want to touch your belly. 

I got a stern talking to for trying to take a profile picture. Bad, bad Lotus!

Upon venturing into the room adjoining the kitchen, I noticed that Alli had a spread of amazing food laid out, and I ran over and immediately attached myself to it.  My gluttony reigns supreme.  This type of behavior is a key reason for a recent discovery of mine… stay tuned for more details in a coming post.

I had the pleasure of meeting Meredith (Like Merchant Ships).  This is one smart, sweet lady.  I am ashamed to say I had not discovered her blog before, but I am in the minority!  She is a bloggin’ star, yo!  And for good reason… go look at how she puts all of us to shame with her incredible finds and home designs for a fraction of what we pay!  Gah!  I immediately started shoving the lemon chess bars she brought with her into my facehole.  (She wanted us to know that she did not make them, but bought them… but like I told her, she gets huge kudos for bringing them, even if she had snatched them up after seeing them fall out of an elephant’s butt, man. That’s how GOOD they were.)

Here she is, curiously close to a laser gun.  I think she was ready to arm herself if I got too dorkishly spazzy.  Or spazzishly dorkish.  (I have no idea how I survived, b/c I definitely went off the scales in both areas.  I should not be allowed out in public.)

Not long after I arrived (and chained myself to the island in Alli’s kitchen, snarling from amidst the pineapple chunks, croissants, and bagels) Karla (looking towards heaven) came with her munchkins (and brownies! can you hear the angels singing?). 

And just look at her with her littlest munchkin. 

I always forget how tiny they are in the beginning! 

*uterus aching*

She has a lovely blog, and she makes wonderful invitations, announcements, and cards!  I got to see her Mommy Cards up close, and they are really cute and classy.

Braden was, as usual, right at home and ran around owning the place.  We apologize to Alli for the rifling through her kitchen drawers and cabinets, the redistribution of tupperware pieces, the rubbing of many books on the floor, and the sprite (?) on the carpet. *sigh* Also, we apologize to Karla for the befouling of her coffee when Braden inserted a large plastic cup he found directly into her mug. Awesome Show, Great Job!, Braden.

Here he tries to put the moves on an older chick. Observe while he uses the classic Ron Burgundy pick-up line, “I wanna be on you….” Clearly, it was not working.

Before I knew it, it was 1pm!  Oops, Braden usually has his nap at 12:30.  Heh.  Bad Mommy? 

It had seemed like mere minutes.  When you’re chatting up bloggy goodness with a room full of beautiful, sweet and funny mommies, the time sure does fly.  The sweet taste in my mouth that is still lingering isn’t from all the lovely food, either.  Thank you lovely ladies for allowing me to wrap up 2007 in the pleasure of your company.  I had a great time.
