Sometimes spending money just makes you feel better. Shallow but true.

I buy Nilla Wafers for myself, not for Maddy.

Rummaging through the 30-75% racks at Target I always want the Maternity clothes. That seems weird.

Baby it's cold outside

I get really jealous when I hear of other people taking their kids to the beach this time of year. We can't even muster up the energy to go play in the snow in our own back yard. Maddy even got an awesome snow suit. It is 22 degrees outside today, 22. She was a baby baby last year during the snow and might miss it again this year. We need 6 inches to fall and then 45 degree weather, is that so much to ask?

I know

sometimes I make awesome things

This spinach pie looks EXACTLY like the picture in the magazine. Unfortunately it was gross.

Whole wheat cranberry scone. Don't know how the English do it but ours was yummy this morning.

Lots and lots of pretty apples, all spiced up.

The Big 0-1

2009

New Year's means nothing. Let's be honest, it's just another day. So why do I feel the need to set goals. It's always the same 10 pounds. Although this year with Madeleine I get to make goals for her too. Picnic at the park once a week during the summer. Go to the water park. Get good tans (well she does). I guess setting goals is good, it just feels too generic this time of year to actually stick. I think I'll make my resolutions next month when I'm bored.
