DD is napping and I'm cleaning the bathrooms with a buzz from fumes and Smirnoff. We will have family over tomorrow after Easter brunch. It's at SIL's hotel which half sucks because people and half wins because no post feast kitchen cleanup!

just finished getting tailgating and baseball snacks at the dollar store before heading to see the A's play.  Hoping LO naps during the tailgate so I can actually finish a cold drink.  scored some cute easter basket gear too.... mustache mugs for the boys, easter mason jars for the ladies....throw in some airplane bottle of booze and BAM baskets done (maybe chocolate too)

I'm avoiding calling H's gma back. The woman keeps calling whining about how she doesn't have any pictures of E yet even though I emailed her daughter the Walgreen's link AND the Iink for his professional pics (she doesn't have her own email). I keep explaining that the closest Walgreen for us is an hour and a half away and I don't have money to be buying everyone pictures. Sick of being the bad guy. As soon as E finishes eating we are going on a walk. Too nice to stay inside.

I'm getting ready to go to an adult Easter egg hunt with alcohol. Hopefully it doesn't rain.

Dd pooped for the first time in a week while we were at BJs.

Oh my.

I was hoping to get yard work done today, but Portland's being Portland, so I'm inside. We're going to a toddler birthday party later.

DD is napping. DH is being a grump ass--so he is outside.

No emergency dentist visit today---she has to go on Monday for X-rays; but as long as she isn't in pain and can eat softer foods (she had pasta for lunch)---they aren't as panicked as we are. That was a brutal wake up--I was half asleep when it happened and DH was still asleep. 

We took Reese to Target though---she is allowed in stores now, just has to wear a surgical mask--which she has no problem with. We returned something for her and let her pick out one thing in the toy section section, she was debating between two things and finally chose a small baby doll set. 

We are going to dye eggs this afternoon outside. I bought egg-nots, which are porous ceramic eggs since she has an egg allergy. I am REALLY excited that she will be able to keep the eggs and use the dyed ones in her play kitchen and not throw them away or eat them

I saw a really beautiful, and impractical, necklace at the mall yesterday and I want it so bad, but it's impractical, and omg I want it. I'm trying to figure out if I want to show it to my H and remind him that my birthday is next month or not.

I see no downside to the birthday reminder.

@Starearedkid‌, so glad that you got to avoid the emergency dentist visit, and that Reese will get to dye eggs. I've never heard of egg-nots; very cool idea!

vandelay

@casholmes‌, what a couple of bitches! I hope your yard sale experience gets better today.

Sorry for being a PW -- sitting in the salon with hair dye on my head = bored.

My only hesitation is that I'm pretty sure he's planning to get me a tablet, and a tablet is so much more practical than a pretty necklace, lol. I'd probably wear it to his brother's wedding and then it would hang out on my jewelry tree. It does fit my style to a T, though.

Oh that's gorgeous! Birthday treat to yourself?

Someone painted blue hearts on a ton of cars in my neighborhood. Mostly on windows, but on the actual body of cars that were pulled into driveways. It was water soluble paint, but still like, "Wtf?" I'm sure they thought it would bring smiles, but I was like, "Wtf?" and returned inside to get a sponge. There's a weird blue film on my window now.

Headache, fever, cold, and Aunt Flo just started. Awesome. No sex for me.

DS and I were going to go to an egg hunt this morning, but it got cancelled due to weather. Then we went to another one, but it was mostly advertisers and pay things like bouncy houses. Suck.

So now I'm at home about to make cut-out sugar cookies, and DS is napping. I see there's a drinking thread, so it's ok to start drinking, yes? Sangria and cookie time!

Sooo....Portlandia is a complete documentary, then?  I could see this being on there.

Certain parts of Portlandia are accurate. There are birds on lots and lots of stuff, the "bicycle rights!" people exist, and I have a picture of my family finding a sunny spot and laying in it, so chasing sunshine works, lol. There are lots of tall bikes here. Those are the bikes that are like two bikes that have been welded together, one on top of another. I don't know if Portlandia has shown tall smalls, which are two children's bikes welded together. This place is pretty weird, lol.

Hey y'all! I just got in from playing outside with DS. My mom had bought him a water/sand table that hr absolutely loves, so that kept him occupied for a while. Once he was good and muddy wet, and rubbing his tired eyes, we came in...now I'm attempting to put him down for a second nap, since the first one was short.

This morning we went to an Easter egg hunt at the daycare center...it was cute, and they had the creepy Easter bunny there for pics. The kids were all scared of the bunny. I dont blame them!

@MrsButt‌

I saw fancy chickens at the zoo (aka the "fluffy butt birds" according to DS) and thought of you.

MrsT0514

So DS was crawling around in the grass before and somehow stumbled upon a stray cigarette butt (probably blew across the yard from the area DH smokes, since he doesn't smoke in the house) and DS picked it up and had it almost in his mouth in literally a split second. I got to him and ripped it out of his hand before it happened, but I'm semi freaking about it now. Fucking yuck. God damn smoking husband. I hate that nasty ass habit.

Looks like we definitely need to keep better track of the yard cleanliness now that we're spending more time outside.

@PrivacyWanted‌ WTAF? That's kind of crazy. Lol.

I'm sad that I can't eat what I want to. Apparently a couple of my nerves in my mouth are dying. I was prescribed Tramadol and that sort of helps, but chewing anything hard is a no go.

fancynewbeesly

Dieting sucks. I want all the yummy food.

MrsT0514

AF is in town and I've been snacking on everything in sight. Fuck.

I just burned the shit out of my hand.

I was draining tortellini and dh left the damn plug in the sink again and I didn't notice.

I poured the water in and the like and idiot stuck my hand in there to pull the plug.

Mother fuck it hurts.

MrsT0514

I really need to run to the store and grab wine for tomorrow but MH is still outside putzing around on the backhoe he borrowed from a friend. Wtf, DH. I told you I needed to run out like an hour ago.

My 4 year old insists on telling me everything that is happening on Spongebob every 5 seconds.

DD discovered the old Care Bear movies. She LOVES them. So naturally, I had to go onto ebay to find all the vintage plastic figures for her.

Your DD has great taste

@bearsbearsbears

I believe it is Monday night here, or at least it is for me. That is when I am breaking it  

DD is too young to follow it--plus the last thing I want to put her on is a super restrictive diet. So she and DH are taunting me with their delicious food.

Although, I won't eat bread or cakes or anything like that---but I fully plan on eating ham tomorrow on Easter.

<----Jewish hypocrite.
