Rant of the moment...and photo of our date Saturday night
Okay, so if your kid has a playdate with my kid and you DON'T inform me ahead of time that your kid has (insert miscellaneous disgusting green-nose-goo-related ailment here) - THAT is information that I NEED - and had I been given the information in a timely matter, I would have RESCHEDULED said playdate.
This has happened MULTIPLE times with a specific neighbor and their child - and it PISSES me off. I think I'm just going to have to put an end to playdates with that kid until late Fall. This is our busy, busy time of year - Jonathan is preparing for Balloon Fiesta and the weird hours that brings (up at 3 AM and working until 11 PM sometimes) - and we can NOT afford to bring any viruses or other ailments no matter how "harmless" they might seem - like the common cold or whatever - we just can't have it.
So, that's that.

Here we are going to dinner and a cocktail party Saturday evening (August 28th)
So, after seeing this photo of myself, I have no choice but to get SERIOUS about losing weight - I do NOT like what I am seeing here - although my haircut is fun and all - and the new color (jet black) is great - I realize that I could pull this off MUCH better if I was about 50 lbs lighter. I'm not saying I want to be a skinny minny - but it sure would be nice to wear a black turtleneck and jeans this fall and not feel like I am ROUND in it. Ugh. I'm a little depressed, now. Maybe the haircut was a mistake?
We got to go out and behave like grownups (well, sort of). After 4 martinis I was feeling more like a college kid who didn't know her limit - but it was fun, nevertheless. A good time was had by all and everyone complimented me on my new look - that was nice - but I'm still feeling a bit insecure about it. I still have that feeling like I'm not sure if my new look fits my personality (though everyone at Mark Pardo said it totally fits my personality to a tee!) - I'm just in the adjustment period, I guess. Well, I must start my full day of laundry and what-not - so I'm off...
