The Pottery Barn Rug Smell, I guess, has been a hot-button issue this week. Once again I received another hit yesterday because of it. Only this time, this person left a comment with their insight in regards to why the rugs smell.

Big plans this weekend, folks. It's "Christmas in the Village" this Saturday. This is our town's annual Christmas celebration and, just like last year, it's supposed to be freezing. Truly, I don't think these crazy people would have it any other way.

As promised, there's a picture from the beach. I've run into my first issue with converting from a PC to a Mac, so Help! Mac users. After I uploaded the picture I wasn't able to add text to the page. Is this a fluke or is there something I need to do differently?

Guess who's back
We made it back home from our Turkey Day Extravaganza today. Justin and I had driven to STL on different days, so we each had a car to drive today. The drive was especially long today. Vance was restless the last half and kept asking me to "Please turn the car off Mommy". A few minutes of silence had passed and I thought he had fallen asleep. I turned my head to check and found him gazing out the window, dreamily, with an orange crayon hanging out of his left ear. That was good for a laugh. To make the day even longer we all went to the grocery store tonight. We've been away for 12 days, so there was nothing food wise en la casa.
While I was away I got a new computer and it turns out that I'm a Mac girl now. This is the first time I've really played around with it and I'm liking it. I haven't worked on a Mac since college and it's a little awkward. Where's my Backspace key?
I should have some pictures of Vance at the beach up tomorrow or Monday.
Nighty Night!

Our washer and dryer were getting old. They were tired, grumpy, and beginning to disrupt the harmony of life around here.

Martha's Day & Flu Shots
We're thinking about Martha today, because it's her birthday.
We're also thinking that because it's Martha's birthday that it's okay to have cupcakes for breakfast.
What I'm trying not to think about is the pain in my left arm caused by the Flu Shot Fairy yesterday.
Vance got one too. And the Fairy put a band-aid on it. Since then he has been calling the band-aid a "bing bang". I've been egging him on to say it more often and haven't been correcting him. Why? Because it's funny and that's one of the perks of parenthood.
Happy Birthday Martha! Hope you have a great day!

Almost 14 weeks pregnant and here's what's going on:
- Less hair. The increase in hormones is making my hair fall out. We're on our second bottle of Draino. Who says pregnancy isn't the most magical time of your life?
- Super Human Smelling Powers. We've talked about the dining room rug* and Justin has had to stop chewing spearmint gum. These are just two of many on my list so far. Are you wearing perfume? Yes you are! And it smells 10 times stronger to me!
- Acne. Pretty self-explanatory. I believe a chemical peel will be in order after the baby is born. Yea!
*I've had 2 hits from people doing Google searches for "Pottery Barn Rug Smell". Proof that it's just not me.

The Target Debacle
It's been 5 days since my last post. Some may think the reason why is that we've been too busy jam packing the day with fun and educational activities. Those persons would be wrong.
Vance and I have been to Target 3 times in the past 5 days.
The first trip was to elbow our way through the crowds trying to get Halloween stuff 50% off and to stock up on house stuff. We did get a few good deals, one being a storage container for $3.49. I got home, packed up our Spooky stuff from around the house and went to put the lid on the container. Eff, wrong sized lid. This is what happens when I attempt to organize.
The second trip was to get the right sized lid and a couple of things I had forgotten the day before. Many trips back and forth from the Halloween section to the normal container section later, still not a right fit could be found. Where's my Cinderella?
(For clarification purposes, I only brought the lid back to the store. Not the actual container itself. I had written down what size of container I had bought, so I used one of the normal containers as a guide.)
The third trip was to return the glorious orange and black 22 gallon pain in the ass contraption. A total of $3.68 was returned back on my credit card. Funny, I think I spent double that just on gas getting there and back. And there and back. And there and back. However, I did pick up more diapers, because you know, you always need more diapers and a shirt that was 30% off for Vance.
Target always comes out ahead. Even if you're only there to make a return.
