– so many kale chips. The Maladroit Wife made some magically delicious ones at our Super Bowl party and I was hooked. Unfortunately, I was still holding on to the idea that I would dig a green smoothie every morning, so my bags of kale, heretofore, were spent killing the flavor and color of a perfectly good fruit smoothie.
– giving up the idea that I like green smoothies. I am all for eating healthfully, really. But healthy food still has to be enjoyable. Green smoothies don't quite qualify.
– took V and Mae Cake to the dentist for the first time and they were ROCK STARS. They sat so still and didn't whine even a little (they did better than I did). The hygenist and I thought Mae Cake had fallen asleep, but she was just being awesome. Needless to say, I got them lollipops directly afterward.
– a charm bracelet. I'm such a fabulous nerd. The G had asked me awhile ago if I would ever wear one and I scoffed, "No." [Think "The Office" episode:
| Pam Halpert: | OK, heart-shaped jewellery is not something a woman buys for herself. A man definitely bought it for her recently. And it wasn't Michael. |
| Jim Halpert: | Wait, sorry. You like heart-shaped jewellery though, right? |
| Pam Halpert: |
No. [casually turns back to camera] Except for the pendant, that you bought me! Which I love! |
] But then this one reeeeeeally cool girl I know got one and it was so cute and it was shiny and IT MADE NOISE. Sold!
– complete obsession with the idea of a blonde pixie cut. For me. Frightening. And awesome.
– date night with The G where we ate ALL THE TACOS at Rusty Taco, walked around freezing Nordeast Minneapolis (52 degrees my ass), and saw a little of the new Star Trek movie and a lot of the last Hangover movie. Date night!
– realization that if I lean while posing for pictures, I look terrible. Stop leaning, woman!
– running. 4 times. What.
Riot and Frolic
