OD is making me mad

OD won't load the entry template for me again. I tried a different computer, a different browser and the different browser while using the different computer. Nothing. So I don't think it's me or anything at my end. I can load the title box but not the entry box. WTH ever.

Anyway, when you are on OD search for the diary Secret Santa 2008. Then sign up! :)

I got my hair cut tonight. She thinned it out a lot, which is good since I have twice as much hair as the average person (I'm not making that up, I've been told it by several hairstylists). It is sort of like a long bob, just below my shoulders with shorter layers around my face. I love it! I also bought myself a new professional flat iron. *sizzle*

Evan has mastered playing peek-a-boo and loves to be the one who holds up the blanket then pulls it down after you ask, "Where's Evan?". Sometimes he only holds it up for a second, sometimes he holds it up for like 30 seconds, hahah. But every time he lowers it he has a huge grin on his face.

Dan got home last night. It's so nice to have him back. Evan and I missed him a lot. We are watching the Rays-Phillies game right now and Ev is passed out in Dan's arms :)

Yesterday and today have been really windy and rainy though still warm, the high both days was about 15 (celsius)! I love it! I'm looking forward to the first big snowfall too :)

I may have had more to write about but if so I can't remember it now. Bed time! :)

10.27.08

Evan is asleep. He was very cranky today and napped twice for a total of 40 minutes altogether. He ate 4 bowls of food tonight (usually has 1, sometimes two) then nursed and fell asleep. I hope he sleeps well. He has some more teeth coming in which I think is what was bothering him today.

He is doing so good with his crawling and will even pull himself up on furniture and take tentative steps if you hold his hands. He is so freakin' cute, I just love him all to bits!

I picked up some Halloween candy today and am going to get more tomorrow. I got a bag of 100 suckers, some rockets and a box of chips. I still need to get chocolate. I don't like to be stingy with handing out candy, and we now live in a neighborhood with lots of kids, so I need to be prepared :)

Dan gets home tomorrow night, yay! I will be so glad to have him back. Evan and I have been staying out in the country with my parents so we have some company. I will be glad to be back in the city and in our cute house!

Anyway, I'm going to watch some more of the series and then go to bed. The Rays needs help :P

POS

OD won't load the entry template so I can't write in there. I'll be writing here until it's fixed. I checked my settings and the WYSIWYG and everything was fine. I'm so glad I pay for their service :P

Argh.

Once again OD won't load the entry template. WTH??

Anyway. Dan left bright and early this morning for the airport. On Sunday night Dan got a call from work saying that they needed him to fly out TODAY. For some dumb meeting so they can "get everyone on the same page". Um, he IS on the right page, I don't know why he has to fly across the continent because some other people can't communicate very well. Do they realize he lives 5,871 miles away (thanks Google maps)? They just arranged his ticket late last night. Plus, before he accepted the job he was told he would be going out to California once or twice per year. This is his THIRD trip in three months. AND then he will probably need to go to New Jersey to hook some stuff up sometime in the next month or so. AND then they will probably want him to go back to CA around Dec-Jan sometime. After his last trip out there they told him they would like him to come out every 6 weeks. HELLO?! That's 8 trips a year. At at least a week each that is 8 weeks away from his family. Two months. BITE ME! He told them he can only do every 3 months which is a lot better. I'm still pissed though.

Anyway, I need to go. My 10 month old son, who doesn't sleep through the night and doesn't nap is whiny and cranky. What a shock.

Figures

I actually have stuff to write about and the entry template on OD won't load for me. Whatever.

I hauled out my scrapbooking/craft stuff and have been making lots of cards. I'm having fun with it. I got a bunch of ideas from the workshop I went to last month and I'm having fun with my new Stampin' Up! stamps.

Ev got his immunizations today and took them like a champ. I got my flu shot and also took it like a champ ;)
My bub weighs 18 lbs 14 oz. No wonder my back hurts at the end of the day! The doctor measured his height by laying him on the examining table and marking his head and feet with her pen on the paper liner thingy. Before she had a chance to get the measuring tape out to measure the distance between the marks Evan had ripped the paper all up and tried to stuff it in his mouth! I guess we'll try again at his next appointment :D

Shopper's was having a big sale when I stopped in tonight to get a thermometer for Ev (I haven't been able to find my other ones since we moved). I got two containers of Gain detergent for $2.50 (regularly $10.00 each). I also go a L'Oreal hair colouring & highlighting kit for $6.75 (regularly $27.00). I got a few other hair care things on clearance for Dan and I, plus some baby food for Evan and managed to spend only $21.47 including tax! If I had paid full price it would have been over $60. Yay!

Alright, off to bed with me. Morning comes early when you have a baby!

Soap on a Rope

I just put Evan into bed. He took a two hour nap today! He hasn't done that in a really long time. I slept too. Felt soooo good.

I turn 30 on Friday. Thirty. I know they say you're only as old as you feel, and I feel like I'm still in my early to mid-twenties, but I'm not looking forward to the whole 30 thing. Seeing that 3 in front of my age is going to throw me off for a long time.
My parents are going to come in and baby-sit Ev while Dan and I go out to dinner (we're going to make a it a joint celebration of our anniversary which is October 5th - also my sister's birthday!) and then come back here for cake and ice cream.

We went over and visited with our neighbor, Jana, this evening. She had invited us over to see her workshop (she runs her own soap business from her house) so Dan, my dad and I went over after dinner and she showed us around. She has so many neat soaps! She is about my age and has been doing it for six years. They smelled soooo good and are so pretty! And she has really neat designs They are the kind of glycerin soaps that are transparent and have colourful designs in the center. She even has ones with little toys in the middle for kids. I bought 6 bars from her of different ones right there, hehehe. When we first moved in she came over and introduced herself and brought us a bar of her citrus zest soap and it was love at first lather for me.

Anyway, time to start up the dishwasher and get in bed. Sleep is a very precious commodity around here :P
