My friend from TWC, Tim aka Vefantur is coming to stay with me for two weeks.  He will be visiting from London and I'm a bit nervous.  Not only is this the first time that we have met but my last meeting with a TWCer didnt quite go as planned.  That relationship is still slowly starting to fix itself but thats another entry.  I have grocery shopped ( Read more... )

So I had a pretty good day today.  SD and I took Mason to the aquarium where he had a good time looking at the fishies and eating num num's.  I got a chance to try out my new camera, which I am so in love with, and I managed to take a few good pictures.  Mason really enjoyed looking over the empty seal tank to find the seals sitting under a stream ( Read more... )

Mason had his 1st birthday party today.  His actual birthday isn't until Tuesday but he was born on a Sunday...so it seems fitting.  He got so many wonderful things from family!  Clothes and toys and TONS! of books.  His dad even sent a present along which was great.  My parents did a fantastic job helping me get the food ready and watching Mason ( Read more... )

I wanted chocolate chip cookies so badly but have none of the stuff to make them so I went and bought the pre-made cookie dough and popped some in the oven ( Read more... )

So here I am, sitting on my orange beanbag chair in front of the TV in my new apartment.  I moved in on Saturday and Sunday, did some unpacking with the Sexy Duelist who willingly came out to help with the move.  He also watched Mason while I went to the memorial service for my friend.  The service was incredibly moving, I actually started shaking ( Read more... )

My landlord is refusing to call me back and I'm scheduled to move tomorrow.  I need to give her rent and pick up keys.  We have a truck and everything ( Read more... )

I usually dread mornings but the past few days Mason has been a joy to wake up to.  He wakes up happy instead of cranky and I can stay in bed and listen to him talk to himself.

It's so cute to listen to him babble, laugh and squeal.

By the way, he's getting to be absolutely hilarious.  He's currently running around with a turkey baster.  I don't know ( Read more... )

For weeks I have been complaining that my place has been a complete mess.  It's mostly because I have no energy or time to rearrange things since my bed got put in.  That and Christmas which means that Mason got a bunch of new toys and I got a bunch of weird little things that I really have no use for ( Read more... )

 Mason is oh so very sick.  Friday, out of nowhere he started coughing and it was the nasty barking kind.  He would cough, then cry because it hurt and I think the noise scared him.  We ended up getting sent to the hospital and while we were waiting, Mason couldn't breathe anymore.  I called for help and the nurses and a Dr cleared his lungs and ( Read more... )

Mason is officially walking.  He has been talking steps here and there for about 3 weeks now but today he walked the length of the living room at 9 1/2 months.  My little boy is now a little man.  He doesn't want to walk to me, he thinks its a game and goes the other direction.  He will walk to Grandma and Grandpa though.  Sexy Duelist was over to ( Read more... )
