I lost the Camera!!!!!!!

Ok, I really didn't lose the camera. That is just an excuse. I really mean to take a picture but when something happens I am where the camera isn't. And when we are at home he just does the same old stuff. I mean he's cute and all but really. How far does cute get you these days? But trust me folks, he still pretty much looks the same.

Ian and I went for dinner at a friend's house today. (My friend not Ian's). We had a lot of fun. We had roast chicken and veggies and she put apples in with the veggies. Very cool Idea and now I really want to try that with a pork roast. mmm. It is actually a pretty good place to take Ian because she has lots of open space with laminate floors so he can scoot all over. We even left with a door prize! She gave us her old blender. Now we can blend blend blend! That's the key you know. Blending. She actually has one of those kick ass expensive blenders that doubles as a food processor. So she had the old one taking up space and I had mentioned that mine sucks and won't crush ice so she just gave me the old one. Suh-weet. I guess I do have an inspiration for a picture after all!

Ian of course needed a Diaper Change shortly before we left, so I of course before I left I congratulated her because now she can officially say that someone has pooped in her living room. So until tomorrow, here is a picture of my new kitchen appliance.

Hurts so Good

I bought a pineapple at the store yesterday. Why do pineapples have to be so good and yet cause so much pain? My mouth, gums tongue and cheeks hurt from its painful sweetness. Even my teeth hurt. Damn pineapples. It's the devil's fruit I tell ya.

I'm Lazy. Nothing new there. Well at least I am having a nice time being lazy. I spent all day today lounging around in my jammies. Ian is wearing jammies too. we cuddled and played with toys. I feel quite un-energetic. I think I will have a bath and go to bed early as I am so worn out from my laziness.

I did have a busy couple days though. Monday I took Ian to the park in his little sled. It snowed a couple inches and so we had a nice time sledding there. Ian swinged on the swings again. He really likes that. I forgot the camera. Again. Sorry.

It rained all that night so all the snow disappeared. Stupid weather. Yesterday Ian and I went to the library and then the grocery store. We had company for dinner too which was nice. It's always good to have someone to chill with. So after those 2 busy days I felt justified in chillin today.

I don't have a pic for today because since nothing new happens here the only thing I have to take pictures of is Ian's Swath of Destruction. But hopefully I will remember the camera next time I go out.

Did he fix it? Yes he did!

Travis fixed the stuff today! Yay! I was pretty happy. He thinks I was ungrateful because I asked him to load the dishwasher after supper but I am not. Because I could have fixed all that stuff myself but it is man work.

I have to drop him off at the ship tomorrow and he is sailing for a month. Good Riddance! Just kidding. We'll have fun here, Ian and I. For 2 more weeks. I will probably be starting back at my super lousy job of death in about 2 weeks. I hope I like it. I know I won't. Dammit. Well I better go, I'm making hot chocolate. With Whip Cream. I am such a piggy.

Here is a picture I like today, stolen from my sister's blog:

Never mind. It won't upload for some reason. Jerks. You hear me? MSN is Jerks!!

Can He Fix It? Yes He Can!!

Ian decided to climb the filing cabinet. The front of the drawer came off. Files everywhere. Like I don't have enough trouble keeping track of all the papers around here without that. Sigh. There is a light burnt out in the downstairs hallway. The door fell off Ian's change table. The baby gate needs bolstering. Baby proof clips need to be installed on the cabinets.

Looks like Trav is going to be doing some handy man work this weekend, mwaa ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Travis also promised to take Ian and I swimming tomorrow. That would be fun. He is sailing on Monday so we need to have those last few minutes of quality time together before he leaves me to chase the devil (Ian) all day by myself. It almost makes me WANT to go back to work so I can get a break.

I will probably be going back soon anyway, likely even before Travis returns. Alas. Life sucks. Being a mommy has been so fun, too. You know what really sucks? West jet is having a seat sale right now and I could go visit for the whole time Trav is gone for a mere $578.15. And I can't. So frustrating. Alas and alack.

Anyhoo, I know all of you are dying to visit me this spring/summer/fall so I guess I can be patient until then. So in the meantime here is a picture of me holding Ian. It looks like I am cuddling him but actually I am preventing any movement and the destruction that inevitably results.

Squish Squash

Wow, I am way behind here. I want to say I have been busy but actually just lazy. I wasn't feeling "well" on New Years Day. We had such a good time the night before. We went for Japanese dinner and then drinks at the fleet club. I had to get up early with Ian the next morning too. 2006 did not begin well!

Monday we had friends over for dinner. We made Mexican food, enchiladas and tacos and salsa and guacamole. Yum. I have been eating leftovers ever since. I gave Ian some plain avocado and he seemed to like that. Not the kind of food I can make loads of baby food with, though. Yesterday Travis was duty and I did about seventy loads of laundry. I was so far behind it was silly!

As for today, well I was feeding Ian his lunch and I got to thinking, when is a kid old enough to feed himself?? Well, I figured today was as good a day as any so I handed him his spoon and dish and let him have at er. I was chiseling squash and pablum off him for the rest of the day.

I have changed the background again, it is because now that the holidays are over I am ready for winter to be over too. So hopefully the theme gets nice weather in the mood to return. I'l find some good summer tunes too.

Tomorrow Travis and I are doing good deeds. Travis is helping his uncle move a fridge or something. I am going to watch one of my neighbor's kids for her while she takes the other to the doctor. So hopefully that goes well. Until tomorrow, here are some pics of Ian on his ride on and also Ian coated in squash. I know what you are thinking...more pics of Ian eating? Geez!! Well it's my blog so you can just shut yo mouf. I also have the ever popular picture of Ian being naughty. But it's hard these days to get a picture of him not being naughty!!
