I'm trying to remember to say it periodically. Thank God for my years in Al-Anon that made me familiar with it. There's lots of frustrating things going on right now that I can't do anything about, so I need to stop even thinking about them.
Before I had lunch I went to that cute local consignment shop as mentioned below, which is in the same shopping strip as the Chinese place, to buy the baby a few items of warm clothes since it's going to be in the 30's here this weekend. I found 2 pairs of pants, 1 sweater, and a cute pair of purple overalls. And yes, I got all items on sale, 40% off the marked price. Cool.
I have begun planning our weekend of fun. I would like to try to take the baby downtown tomorrow night, if we have time, to the Mayor's free Holiday party on the City Hall grounds. We pass right thru downtown on the way home anyway, and it would be fun to walk around and see the sights, provided I can find parking. Saturday we'll go to storytime as always, then I'm leaning towards going to the science museum for the kiddie party they're having with real snow! Then they're showing Superman Returns at Job #2 that afternoon with free popcorn and drinks, and I'd like to do that as well.
Sunday I think I want to go ahead and invest in a membership to the Children's Museum. The membership investment to the zoo has already paid for itself in spades! Plus, with it getting colder the chirren's museum is a great indoor-activity type thing. Finally, she and I both love the joint. I remember the 1st time we all went, me, DH and baby. This was summer of 2005, and DH said he didn't know who was more excited, me or baby! It's just that I had always wanted to go there, but I never knew any kids before that I could take, and I certainly wasn't about to waltz in there by myself and poke around like some kind of perv.
Oh, and today in funny news, check out this item. DH and I are both very excited about it, him especially b/c of his dream woman, Trish Stratus, (after Salma Hayek, that is), and me b/c it's going to be damn entertaining. However, I am a little bit upset b/c we reserve officers already don't get the respect we deserve sometimes and this will definitely not help. M. already wants me to write a letter to the editor of the local union paper for them making fun of us in this month's edition. I think I will; as some of you know I have great success getting letters to the editor published, I just need to find the time to start drafting it. I guess I could do that after I finish this blog entry since I still have an hour and 15 min. left of my evening desk shift here at Job #1.
In bizarre news, I got a "hi" email from one of my ex-boyfriends. This was a Puerto Rican asshole I dated while in grad school. He was a sax player, of course. He has 3 kids now and is still married to the same woman. Good for him. I guess I'll email him back, and send him pic's of my beautiful family--even though he doesn't deserve to hear from me. I just like showing off to my exes. I hope that's not bad karma--he sought me out!
Speaking of which, here's one of my fave's of me and baby, taken summer 2005 at the Aquarium.
- I faxed DH's signature on his affidavit first thing when I got to work this a.m. Lawyer said she'd have a hearing date for us after lunch. Now it's 5:15 p.m. and so far no word. This is maddening, but what else is new.
- DH and I had a slight argument about X-mas presents a little while ago. I wish we could buy the gifts we wanted for folks this year, but we are on a serious, scary, life-threatening budget. I maxed out 1 credit card this a.m. when I had to pay the amicus atty.'s retainer of $750. Our 2nd credit card is uncomfortably close to its limit, and the 3rd one has a high limit but that will be soon minimized once I pay another legal bill. Plus, I hate credit cards and resent having to even use them at all--but there's no other way we'd be able to pay for this court case.
- They started paving our parking lot this a.m. and we will not be able to park anywhere near our house for 48 hours. DH refuses to park his car on the street b/c he says it is too resistible a target for car thieves, so whoever gets home 1st has to scout out a park somewhere else behind the gates and grab it. I'm not sure yet where I will park my car.
