i must do a little jig!

oh the things that excite me! i am so easily impressed and amused it's pitiful.

i bought new shampoo today! and it's PINK! a pretty, creamy ,pearly shade of pink!! had i not washed my hair 2 hours ago i would go in there right now and do it! with my new pink shampoo!

today is big TJ's birthday. he's out of reach b/c they are out at the FOB. (not sure what that stands for exactly but i do know they're doing a lot of weapons training.) i toyed with the idea of emailing him a happy birthday note since i couldn't call, and texting him a simple "happy birthday babe" didn't seem good enough. then i came up with the brilliant idea to use the voice recorder on my phone and recorded me singing "happy birthday dear husband" and hollering out "we love you! we miss you! we'll see you soon!" at the end.
i sent that first thing this morning and haven't heard a peep so i don't know if he got it yet. then i got little TJ babbling a string of "dada"'s while playing with a picture of his daddy. but i'm not happy with that yet. i'm going to text that to him so he can set it as a ring tone for home. he's been talking about doing that for a while, just never got around to it. i figured that could be a good enough birthday present til he comes home.

i made a trip to walmart today b/c i had gone yesterday for some things - mainly dog food and the continuance of my search for long sleeved maternity wear. the dog food bag came open at the checkout counter -it just neatly unrolled in my hand until it was completely open when i grabbed it by it's end to pick it up out of the buggy.
it had been a very bad trip to walmart. my first with a toddler that actually acts like a toddler. fit throwing -throwing things out of the buggy. wanting to be held. at one point i almost ditched the buggy and left. when we got to the check out and the dog food opened i just handed it over. told the lady if it wasn't "so open" i'd buy it anyway. she didn't offer to have someone go get me a fresh one and i didn't ask. i wanted out of there as fast as i could manage!
but we made it thru and i managed to get all items on my list (aside from the dog food)-that was half eaten at one point -my pretty hot pink paper and blue ink was turned to mush -i haven't stopped to think what sort of things my child had ingested at that point.

there were no long sleeved maternity clothes at walmart. there was hardly anything resembling more than capri pants!
at target there was sets -short sleeved tops with jackets to go with it -it was all business casual. perfect for if i was working. but i just wanted some plain, long sleeved t-shirts that would fit over my belly -which has surprisingly popped out at an alarming rate!
so i went to the normal ppls clothes at walmart to see what they had that may work.
i found some perfect t-shirts for 6$.
pretty colors. soft. they had a boat neckline(i refuse to wear crew neck! i feel like i'm being suffocated!and you'll never catch me dead in a turtleneck either!) and a row of buttons on the sleeves -more for show i think -i picked up 3. they looked like they ran big so i only got larges. what the tag failed to mention was that they were stretch. so i get them home(no time to try on in store) they fit perfect. which is bad when you're me b/c there's no room to grow. PLUS i hadn't washed them yet. so there was no way they were going to fit for long.
i noticed this morning when showering that there wasn't much left in either of my shampoo bottles -yes ladies i know have 3 kinds of shampoo! - stashed around my tub. so i picked up some more while i was out. along with a neat, unopened bag of dog food.

when returning the shirts i tried to complain that there was no winter wear in the maternity section -if you can call it a section -the lady ignored me. and i didn't want to go to the mall b/c i knew i'd just pay more than i needed to for the same thing.
so i got 3 lovely nice enough to wear out but perfect for daily dress t-shirt in red(my christmas shirt of course) navy and charcoal grey. i love them. i'm going to wash them right now so i can wear them this weekend when it's not supposed to be warmer than 60 some degrees!

so back to the shampoo:
i have a weakness for buying makeup and then not wearing it - hardly ever anyway. but i could buy soap and shampoo all day long!
my latest edition is herbal essence - which i haven't had in forever. i got the "long term relationship" in the red bottle.since my hair is falling out by the handful since new baby came along i invested in the garnier fructies length and strength- i went the herbal essence route b/c it was cheaper in a bigger bottle- hoping to preserve my bald head from ever being exposed! and it's infused with raspberry. hence the pink i guess.
it smells so good my mouth was watering when i sniffed it in the store.
oh the silly things that make me feel so Happy!
