“Oh, makes my booty look cute.”

I just found a treasure trove of old pictures today while packing up my closet. I can’t wait to get my hands on a scanner.

i listen to thee oh sees when i miss you.
I wonder how difficult it would be to talk Mabel into a 6:30 bedtime. I’m so tired.
I really really really really really really want to go to the Harry Potter theme park.
Like really really.
My birthday is in October and so is Mabel’s so maybe we can go then.
Maybe we could go to the beach, too. Since Mabel has requested demanded that we take her to “the oat-chin”.
I’m taking a break from painting today because my fingers are completely swollen from griping that damn roller brush and the bottom of my foot has a huge bruise on it from stepping off the ladder funny. Good news is, I’m almost done! Just a little more primer in the living room and then I can paint it and the spare bedroom, which is thankfully small, and the bathroom in our room, which...
Oh, shit. When I said “I’m done” I meant for the night, not with the house. There’s still a ton of other shit to paint. It’s taking forever because we are painting light colors over the shit brown and dark gray that came with the house. Also, I had to spend a substantial amount of time picking dog hair out of the walls. Don’t ask.
Oh, and the maintenance guy...
I’m always reminded of my dust allergy when I start packing.
I’m also reminded that I should probably be a little more thorough when cleaning.
That awkward moment when you don’t really love your dog anymore because she shit all over your kids bed.
Dammit, Dolly.
Things I don't understand.
Light Beer
Christian Rock
My urge to get shitty drunk with my child’s preschool teacher.
Ultrasound Pictures (They just creep me out, okay?)
My Mother
Why I don’t own the movie Country Strong.
We started painting our new house tonight. We got the primer done in Mabel’s room, the hallway, the first bathroom, and our bedroom, but we still have to do another coat in our room and the living room and the craft room before we even start painting with actual colors.
We also have to clean the shit out of everything because the landlords definition of clean is way different from mine....

Why did you become a vegan?
(Trigger Warning: This post contains an opinion. I know how scary those are for some people.)
Why did you become a vegan? That is the number one question I’m asked and it’s usually followed by, how did you start?
The quick answer is, I think animal products are disgusting and as for how I started, I just did. If it was an animal product I stopped eating/purchasing it. Simple as...

ecocides:
A star of the Harry Potter films has been sentenced to two years in prison for being part of a violent mob which took to the streets during last summer’s riots in London.
Jamie Waylett, 22, who played Hogwarts bully Vincent Crabbe in six of the films, was found guilty of violent disorder on Tuesday.

And so it begins.
Things I'm looking forward to:
New house edition.
Living next door to my best friend, obviously.
Having hardwood floors again. I hate carpet, it makes my feet hot and if it gets peed on once, it’s ruined forever.
Turning the third room into a craft room.
Having a fenced in back yard for the dog.
Being zoned for one of the best public elementary schools in the city.
Separate laundry room. I’ve dreamed of one...
Sometimes I get so carried away with the what-ifs. Like what if Trent takes this new job? What if he’s gone for 30 days at a time? What if Mabel doesn’t understand? What if he gets a significant raise? What if we pay off our debt before we’re I’m 30? What if we can live like gypsy’s and travel anywhere we want during the two weeks he’ll be guaranteed off every...
I was asked to join a book club this weekend. I was torn because while I love to read, I don’t love people telling me what to read. In the end I agreed because I’ve already read the book for this month. It’s The Paris Wife and I hated it. So I get to sit around and drink wine while discussing what a selfish fucking baby Hemingway was. So it’s a win/win.
And I swear to God...
Oh, hey! Mabel is officially potty trained.
She puts her little potty seat on the toilet and uses a stool to get herself on it, cheers for herself, wipes, flushes, puts the potty seat away, takes her stool to the sink and washes her hands. By the time she’s done all that she usually has to pee again, but whatever, as long as we’re done with diapers I don’t care how long the...
How much money do you spend on groceries every month?
We spend anywhere from $400-$600 per month. It seems like a lot, but that has to cover breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks/coffee for three people who never eat out. We also buy organic whenever possible and the processed foods we get don’t contain high fructose corn syrup and are made with real ingredients, which cost significantly...
I need to get my shit together. It seems like everyone on facebook and tumblr has posted something about their workouts this morning.
I haven’t exercised properly since January and I’m sitting here eating enchiladas for breakfast, daydreaming of my afternoon nap.
Mabel just got her first busted lip tonight. She opened her mouth to cry and blood came pouring out and of course my mind went to the worst place and I screamed because obviously she was dying, but she wasn’t. Her lip was just busted.
She’s fine now. She’s got almond milk and Tangled.

I went to bed last night at 10 and slept till 6:15 this morning. That’s the most continuous sleep I’ve had in I don’t know how long. I didn’t realize how stressed out I was about my mom until after I talked to her. Now I just feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
This morning I took Mabel to Starbucks (it’s the only place in this town with vegan...
So I just got off the phone with my mom. She acted exactly how I thought she would. She denies any memory of the bad things that happened. She even went on to say that maybe it’s a good thing it happened because now I won’t take shit off other people. I guess that’s one way to look at it…
Her main concern was not being able to see Mabel this weekend, but I knew that would...
“No, my no say god-demmit. Only mommy say god-demmit. My no say shit? No, only...”
