clothes: size 12 jeans. thankyouverymuch! they're super stretchy, but they still say size 12 on them so i'm going to wave that flag all day! also a black "fancy" sleevless top and my black sandals. i should probably paint my toenails or at the very least, remove the polish from 2 months ago, but that's just not going to happen. i dont have plans, as of now, to try out for the mrs america pagent any time soon, so i think i'm ok with my nasty looking feet.
toddler: not so bad with the teething this week so that's good. and he seems to be pretty much over the sickness too, also good. he is starting to try and run but loses his balance easily but it's still pretty funny to watch. overall though, he is just having a BLAST with his movement. he will run around and around in the kitchen/dining area, come find me and give me a hug then take off again. tomorrow my parents will be here through the weekend and they are pretty excited to see him since he was not walking the last time they were up and have only seen it on skype.
in the kitchen: hmmm... nothing lately, just using up food. although my lunch today is the last of the leftovers so i will have to cook tonight. maybe that pasta and sugar snap peas business. i also made a pot of black beans from dry so i need to do some very bean-ish things in the next couple of days. i anticipate some homemade ice cream, a dessert of some kind, and hopefully some good summer food this weekend.
crafting: made cameron a great 4th of july shirt last night with the help of some friends and their extra hands. i will save a pic for the "picture to share" below because i dont have any other pictures to share. :) but i think it's cute. i am going to try and do at least 1 or 2 shirts for him each year for one holiday or another and then eventually turn it all into a quilt, probably adding in the shirts for eventual kid #2. that's the plan at least. in the mean time, it makes for cool pictures.
reading: still harry potter goodness. i'm on to the goblet of fire now.
bringing me joy: talked to my husband this weekend on skype and he got to see his little boy. cameron loves to see him on the computer. we are missing each other so so so very bad, and while that is in no way a joyful thing, it is a point of connection to hear him say that he misses me too. it's been a rough week in that respect for us. 4 more months.
thinking about: passing 4 more months and keeping busy; my health and fitness progress: since december - 12 pounds lost, 7" off waist and 3" off hips, next month i will aim to pass a PT test and in september i'm running my first 5K. i'm excited to get where i have wanted to be for about 10 years at least. i am well on my way and it feels great! also, i had a bit of a conversation with a friend last week who has also been trying to "get there" for a long time and it is infinitely frustrating that she gets in her own way. there must come a time when you dont let yourself shut down and make excuses. i finally got there. if she were really serious, she'd get htere too instead of talking herself into a hole. it really pisses me off when people do that.
so ok, i could go on a whole separate rant about that stuff. here's the pic of cameron's shirt:
and for a refersher, and because i happen to have the pic on my work computer, here's his other seasonal shirt from halloween:
