Random Halloween thoughts..

Halloween is approaching and even though it is probably my favorite holiday, not a single decoration has been placed, I havn't even found my cute little black cat/pumpkin candle holder because it's buried in the disaster that is our basement. 

Buying a house is expensive. Buying a house while in the midst of attempting to show off even a little bit of canada to my australian friend who happened to be staying with us at the same time is really hard on the cashflow.  So even though I couldnt resist buying BabyBug a halloween costume (because a 10 month old really needs one!) I've been waiting for the next payday to go and get some halloween decor. I need at least a cute scarecrow, or a ghost.. anything.

But oh how I miss the nights of running through the streets of my town in costume begging for candy. I especially miss the year or two I did the not so nice halloween activities in the even later night. This year I get to dress up BabyBug as a Ladybug and hit up friends and family for loot she won't get to eat, and then return home to hand out candy to a new generation of little monsters and divas.  Seeing the costumes is fun, the glee and excitement on their faces is contagious, I'm not looking forward to my really annoying doorbell ringing continuously but its still worth it.

oh and bonus; the only person I'll have to share my roasted pumpkin seeds with after carving the pumpkins is TheMan so that will be excellent!

Wow..

So.. It's been 9 months since my last post.

Just a little bit of a slacker. I've been so busy doing the new Mom thing, and reading other peoples blogs as well as being a facebook-a-holic that I pretty much forgot about creating this here blog. 

Oops.

So life is good, labor/delivery went really well. As well as having that happen to your downstairs can ever go I guess. My daughter is awsome, I can't believe that a year ago I got pregnant.. insane.

My little girl just figured out how to do a sort of army crawl yesterday, we had pretty much given up on the idea of her ever crawling and figured she'd be one of those kids that just yaknow.. walked because she forces us to go for little walkies as much as she can. Which is a lot.  But her unfullfilled desires to be able to go where she wanted when she wanted without holding onto our fingers has led her to discover self propulsion, of a sort. Must babyproof soon. On the plus side we just moved into the house that we bought omg i can't believe we got a new vehicle, house and a baby all in the same year so there is very little upstairs for her to get into. Just need to deal with the stairs. Well, that and put away all of our shit. But she moves at the speed of a wobbly carpet slobbering ant right now, so it isnt too pressing. 

I surely need a title for this

... but I can't really come up with anything pivitol to underline. First posts are never particularly interesting. Meh.

I used to be a big blogger fan, way back before google invaded, reorganized and took over. I found blogging to be especially therapeutic, wether or not anyone ever READ it didn't matter nearly as much as the writing of it. Oh sure I love the idea of notoriety and admit I have a sly little bit of angsty teenager in my head still that wants to be loved/ worshipped. Oh and bowed to. Yes indeed some groveling would be splendid.

Unlikely to the extreme, but a girl can dream.

I'm mostly kidding.

Ah well...

I am the twenty something, in a live in relationship with a great guy chick who is 9months preggo with first baby, and I surely know that my days are sleeping in till noon are numbered (and so am enjoying them so very much at the moment) but thats okay, because hey hardly anyone dies of sleep deprivation.

So here I am testing out this much fancier version of blogger again, because I think thats its possible that in the maelstrom my life is about to become that blogging may give me the grounding I'll need in a world of diapers and gurgles. And dealing with jealous kitties, because they've been the babies of my life for years.

until next time then.
