FNLO...the royal edition~

• Ahhh yes, I struggle to wake up for work, I struggle to wake up for gym, but give me a royal wedding of a middle class girl marrying her long time prince and I'll be up to watch them Wed in the entirety! Did you watch it? The way they smile at each other, breath taking. They are truly in love. I will admit that as she walked up to him and they smiled at each other, and he leaned over to tell her how really beautiful she looked, oh it hit me and I wept. So sweet!
  


• How do you make mashed potatoes? Stop laughing at me. For real here, one would think that a domestic goddess like myself (again quit laughing!) would be able to boil some potatoes, and mash them with some milk and butter, but I can't! Every time I attempt it, they come out like glue. Please share your potato mashing suggestions with this potato loving momma.

• K has been napping later and later in the day which leads to a later and later bedtime. While I enjoy this extra time I get with her at night, I do not like the insta-meltdown the child has when she realizes she is ready for bed.

• Speaking of bed, whether it is nap time of bed time she has begun trying to delay the process....I need milk, I want to pee pee in the potty (laughable cause she sits there and hums - and this is the only time I can get her to actually sit there for longer than 8 seconds). On maybe a hand full of occasions I have let her come into my bed after her bath to snuggle and watch a bedtime show, recently all 3 of us laid there and watched one. Now every night she wants to "go night night in Mommy Daddy bed". When I don't letter her she has a complete melt down. Poor kid, but I am not getting into that as a habit. My bed is just that, MINE!

• I am heading to NYC on Saturday! Can't wait. I am on a mission to find Bacon Ice Cream while I am there....cause really you can find anything in NYC and Bacon DOES make everything better.

• I have continued on my work out regime this week. Early up and out to the gym. On Tuesday one of the personal trainers (a professional body builder) approached me and offered me a free session to help me with some weight training. I kindly took him up on the offer:) Basically he will watch for me on a morning when he doesn't have a scheduled session and pull me aside to "train" me. I have not weighed myself since last week. I am thinking a monthly weigh in will be my thing. I hate to get discouraged weekly. I say that because my clothes still feel tight in the places I want them to loosen up. It sucks how hard it is to lose weight when you are A) older B) post baby C) a Woman

• I don't remember if I mentioned it, but I did not get the job I really wanted. I am planning to approach my boss and his boss about creating my own job (ballsy no?). They have me taking on a lot of extra stuff over the past several months, which has turned into a full time job. So I am going to suggest that they make it my job....I am also going to request a 2nd day from home.

• Our gas prices are near $4.15 a gallon. Completely ridiculous.

• This week K is very much into being a "rina" and dancing on Mommy and Daddy's bed~

Don't want to cook tonight? Head over to Danifred's place to see what other's are doing for their leftovers!!
