That title is definitely so much more fun if you sing it to the tune of Carmen San Diego. –Go ahead, I’ll let you re-read.
See? I told you!
So seriously, where have I been?
I feel like I ask myself this every single October. For me, October and April are always way more jam-packed-and crazy than December- is that weird? I don’t know.
Back to where the hell I’ve been…
After much deliberation, I found the perfect way to welcome in the 30’s.
I’ve been celebrating the sweetness of becoming 30 with Magnolia’s cupcakes – because 30 is the new 20 , and according to my cousin 40 is the new 30… which pretty much tells me I am a shoe in for living up my 20’s for the next 20 years… and that is Sa-weet!
Definitely not healthy, but yummy- and birthday's are always the exception.
I’ve been spending time with my family.
Great day!
My kids are huge Yo Gabba Gabba fans and the fabulous Candace at Mamanista offered us her tickets to see Yo Gabba Gabba at Radio City Music Hall the weekend of my birthday. The kids loved it. You can read about it more on Mamanista’s site.
I’ve been in potty training stage one with the princess… meaning, she says “Mama, pee pee on the potty” often… and runs to sit on her seat, but its usually AFTER she’s already done her business. She finds this hilarious by the way!
I’ve been mentoring my 17 year old brother who just started up his very own sports blog, GenYSportsGuy. And since I have made a concious effort my entire life to know ZERO about sports- so for me, editing his posts are basically like editing greek.
(Ring,ring–> “Um Steve, is this word some kind of sports term or is this a typo?”)
Anyway,his layout & about me is not done yet … well actually there’s a lot still not done- but he has 3 posts under his belt -so feel free to show him love — you know if you understand sports-talk.
I’ve been gearing up for Halloween with The Big Toy Book …they have some great prices on some great costumes. So many, that my son can’t decide still if he wants to be Woody or a Vampire (I know, I know- night and day).
Working on Holiday planning… yes, I said HOLIDAY… Just 80 days left– you guys!
Working on school fundraisers, purchasing a Mr. Potatohead for my son’s Kindergarten class project– Mr. Potato Head. Um, what happened to making hand puppets?
I’ve been avoiding the fact that my blog plug-ins haven’t been working for a week and that my very pretty social share buttons that once sat up top there on the right have up and dissapeared.
I’ve been posting on NJ.com’s blog about Toy Recalls and the HFCS blogger controversy (Seriously, what- a- mess.)
I’ve been catching up with old friends… meeting some new ones
& working on some really exciting things! {stay tuned for the big announcement!}
It doesn’t sound like much… nor does it sound very exciting but it is what I’ve been up to.
I promise once I return from my spa weekend (best 30th bday present ever!) I will be rested, rejuvenated and ready to be back here rambling as usual.
For now, Mr.Complicated and I are gearing up for a get away… and the grandparents are going to be left in charge. Rut-ro!
