So What! Wednesday

I’m linking up with Shannon from Life After I Dew to say SO WHAT if…

• I’m beyond excited that Pretty Little Liars is back on! Last night I was giddy at the sound of the music! And I don’t care if you judge me for this. I love this completely mindless show.

• one of the proudest moments of the last couple of months has been having both of my hands painted simultaneously. Usually only one set of nails gets painted before I get pulled into another direction [cough-cough — Ari].

• I never posted Ari’s 7-month update. Or his 8-month update. Ya know what happens when you have an 8-month old?? Nothing. Well, nothing but chasing him around. So yeah. Pretty much our lives are consumed by chasing Babycakes around.

• the highlight of my work day is going for runs on my lunch break. I know I could be doing work, but I’ve been totally looking forward to that time spent on the trail with just my running shoes and my music. When I get back to the office, I realize that office politics and drama are not at all what life is about.

• we’re quickly loading up our summer social calendar! I don’t want to avoid doing fun things just because we have a baby. And I don’t necessarily want to leave him behind; I’d rather him have fun and experience fun things with us! Like festivals, parties, etc. Having a baby doesn’t mean staying at home!

• few things make me happier than a sleeping baby, a freshly cleaned house, and an ice cold beer. It’s the simple things, folks!

• I’m genuinely appalled by the idea of the new murder mystery show premiering on ABC. As a family victim of murdered relatives, the idea of murder mysteries disgusts me. I hold the belief that if it’s unacceptable to hold a “rape mystery” then it should be equally as unacceptable to hold a “murder mystery.” Classless.

• we have our meals planned out for the next 7 days and sometimes I still end up saying “what are we having for dinner tonight?”

• my one wish would be to never wear a bathing suit again. Post-baby bodies are not for the faint of heart!

• I’ve been obsessing over this Kid President video. OMG. He is to die for!

• I woke up 10 minutes before I had to leave for work this morning. Guys, I was only EIGHT minutes late for work! That’s amazing considering I had to pump before I dropped Ari off at the sitter.

• I finally was beginning to feel better about my post-baby body. Well, until I put on a bathing suit for Ari’s swim lesson. After that? Yeah, not so much.

• I’ve been singing the Bedroom Intruder song for days. It gets stuck in my head and will.not.leave. I’m sure my coworkers are less than thrilled with me.

• I yelled at my mom via Facebook for posting a link to an article called “16 reasons to have daily sex.” We’re cool. But we’re not so cool that I want my mom to talk about sex on FB. Come on, Mom!!

• I’m totally obsessed with yoga. I seek out that post-yoga high! Can’t get enough.

• my heart exploded with love during Ari’s first swim lesson yesterday! This kid!!

  

• I have this feeling of “It’s only Wednesday!?” and “It’s already Wednesday?!” that I just can’t break free from right now. Worst.

• I’ve been a ‘single mom’ this week. Chad has been, to his dismay, working crazy hours. And it’s been a bummer. Ari has been pretty easy to deal with, but it’s no bueno without my partner in crime around.

• 10PM is a “late night” for me. It is what it is. I’m just old. And a mom. Oy!

• last night I called “dinner” some rice with a side of pineapple slices. It was delicious!

• the above statement could lead some people to think I’m pregnant. I’m not. I just have odd tastes.

• my Instagram pictures are nearly completely of Ari. The kid is too freakin’ cute, if I do say so myself!

• I got dressed up for work yesterday and everyone said something about it — coworkers, the barista at Starbucks, etc. Which means I normally look like a hot mess.

• the other day I actually went into work without brushing my hair because Ari woke up late and we rushed out of the house. So I guess I shouldn’t really be surprised that the barista at Starbucks told me I looked great when I actually got dressed + brushed my hair. Ha.

• my post-pregnant belly makes me super self conscious still. I’ve never really had an issue with weight before so it’s difficult to have a long journey to lose it all. Can’t it just come off overnight?? Ugh!

• my life is now complete knowing I can regularly order a Trenta Iced Coffee. That’s right — bigger than a Venti. Sign this caffeine addict up!!

• my anxiety and stress have been driving me batty this week. I’ve had a rough few days. And I’ve been apologizing to all of those who have to put up with me.

• my to-do list is growing by the minute. I can’t seem to get anything accomplished. Or remember anything long enough to write it down and stay organized. I’m losing my mind, y’all. I’ll remember I have an appointment and when I go to grab paper to write it down, I cannot for the life of me remember what it was.

• Netflix will be the death of my spare time. I am watching one complete TV series after another! And The L Word is now in my queue! Score! Can’t wait to watch it from start to finish again! [PS. Yes one of my fave shows of all time is a Showtime Lesbi-drama! Haha! It’s like the L Gossip Girl].

• Chad + I are now those people who “ooh” and “ahh” over every single thing our baby does. And we scream it from the rooftops [also known as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter]. I know it’s annoying, but #SorryI’mNotSorry

• I am having Etsy withdrawls. If I can’t get crafty myself, I want to purchase everyone else’s craftiness. I haven’t made an Etsy purchase in ages, but I think I’m due. I just don’t know if I can decide on one thing!
