Well, not too much going on at the moment. Enjoying a cup of coffee in peace while I can...before Miss Keira wakes up. I've attempted to update my LJ several times in the past few days...but I always feel like I should have something going on when I do...which I hardly ever do...so yeah.
All I see on the news now is about Anna Nicole Smith. It's sad. It's tragic. It's actually hitting me harder than I would have thought. Don't know why. Though I always think it's a tragedy when someone who is so young dies. Especially the fact that she has a small baby, and since her son died such a short while ago. I get so angry reading the news. Especially about Anna Nicole's mother. I knew her "family" couldnt resist adding to the fire of the papparazzi. It's ridiculous. EVERYBODY is now right up front saying "Oh I begged her to stop" "Oh we were so close" blah blah blah. You know what, stfu and let people just mourn. Don't try to turn the media onto your own pathetic washed up lives. You know what's really ironic? When she was younger, she had said she wanted to be the next Marilyn Monroe. Another celebrity who idolized a celebrity who died of overdose. Remember Chris Farley? He idolized John Belushi. It's so sad. So so sad.
Well, the peace and quiet did not last long. Keira is up and drinking her morning dose of hot cocoa. It amazes me how her vocabulary increases out of nowhere. The other day, I was singing the ABC's with her. We did the alphabet three or four times before she looks up at me and says "Enough, Mommy. Enough." I laughed so hard. Or when I put a cartoon on that she doesn't want to watch, she goes "Don't want it, Mommy." It's cute. Her thing these days is Princesses. Disney princesses to be exact. Oh how she looooooves the princesses. She's stopped watching Pirates of the Caribbean, to my disappointment. Eh well. I knew it wouldn't last forever. Now when I ask her if she wants to watch Jack Sparrow, she says "No." *sigh* Well, at least Troy still likes the movies. I ordered him a Pirates of the Caribbean birthday cake yesterday. We made a deal. He'd keep the Will Turner figurine and I'd keep the Jack Sparrow figurine lol. I need to reserve his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. I wanted it for the 24th. But that day is pretty much booked until 8pm. So I'm going to try for the 23rd, which is a Friday at 7pm. I'm hoping parents won't have a problem with that. *crosses her fingers* I want this party to be a success for my son. Last year, he invited 5 friends, but only 2 showed up. I wasn't happy. So THIS year, I told him he could invite 10 friends. I'm betting on at least half of those kids to show up, hopefully. And maybe this year his uncle will actually show up on time, rather than showing up at the end of the party. That irked me. He can't even remember his nephew's birthday. He'll have no excuses this year. I plan on sending him an invitation IN the mail, and maybe his girlfriend will remind him. She's good about stuff like that, at least. My brother is terrible with dates. As it is, I'll need to remind him of our mother's birthday. I don't care if he remembers mine. Hell, *I'D* like to forget mine. But you just don't forget your mom's birthday. And I won't let him.
Anyway, I think that's it for now. TTFN.
