The Excitement Is...Pending

Pete went to her first sleepover this past Tuesday. She has stayed overnight with her grandparents a bunch of times and once, when we were on vacation she and her cousin had a little mini-sleepover, but Husbandguy and I were just in the next room. Anyway, when Pete was at Berry's house (that's her friend) is when I found out about Grandpa and Meme moving closer so Pete didn't know right away. I told her as soon as I picked her up on Wednesday, thinking she'd be almost as excited and happy as I am about the news because just a couple of days before we had been talking about how, if GP and MM lived closer they could come to her piano recital (whenever that will be), and she thought that sounded good. But here's the thing: when I said, "Isn't that cool?" she said no. Don't be hurt GP and MM because I don't think she meant it. Tuesday night she got a stomach ache, which she still has, and also she didn't sleep well (because you just don't at sleepovers and she had that tummy ache) so she was tired all yesterday. Since she's still not feeling well today, I can't seem to get her excited about anything, but I know it's coming. As soon as she feels better, I bet she'll be totally excited and I can't wait because I want to have someone to share my glee with. Lulu's too little (although she smiles at me when I talk to her about it) and DH? Well DH doesn't get excited about anything. At all. Seriously. It's annoying.

Feel better, Pete! So we can do a Happy Dance and plan our first road trip.

Hooray! The Faraway Temps Are Moving Closer!

Well, some of them are anyway - Meme and the Grandpa FKA BostonPoetGuy. Now, instead of being 16 hours away by car and 1 ½ hours away by plane, they'll be 3 hours away by car and too close to even consider flying (because it would take longer to get through security and get on the plane than the flight would last)! And we can see them for birthdays and recitals and just because we miss them (which is ALWAYS!). And it's good too because Meme has a job and will be close to her mom and sister and we can see GB when we see Meme and GFKABPG. And Lulu will get to know these temps who Pete already knows and loves and respects. Poor Husbandguy, though! I bet he'll get tired of weekend road trips before I do!! We'll have to find something super fun and tempting near their new home when they get it that we can promise him to get him to make the trip (and do all the driving)...

YAY!! Meme and GFKABPG!! Yay!!

Muppet Haircut and Advice for PSP

So we have this blanket that is sort of like a fluffy blue Muppet (I love the Muppets), and it had this fringe on the ends that was like Muppet hair until I washed it (the blanket - including the fringe). After that, it was all tangled together like a fuzzy blue puzzle, which would have been great for me because I like puzzles, but it was also leaving Big Blue Fuzzballs everywhere that Lulu kept eating (that kid puts everything in her mouth!). So I cut the fringe off - I gave the Muppet blanket a haircut. While I was cutting off the fringe my mind wandered around a little because trimming blankets doesn't involve much thought beyond keeping your fingers out of the scissors, and I was thinking about how boring my blog is, really. A while ago, someone even told Meme, the temp responsible for the Magic Music, that it is. BostonPoetGuy (who has a new name now, but I don't remember it) seems to enjoy it, and I really like that, but would he read it all the time if he wasn't my dad? Then I was thinking about Princess Sparkle Pants and wondering if she would keep coming back if she wasn't my friend (seriously, PSP, would you?). And that got me thinking about PSP's blog and her desire to discover a friend's true sexual orientation without asking straight out (no pun intended). I had suggested she should hit on him, but it occurred to me during the trim that if he knows about her DH and two Lovey Loves, he might not take her seriously. I was going to leave another comment on her blog, this time suggesting that she offer to set him up with her friend Alison Jones (remember her PSP?) instead. Then I thought, since my blog is boring and PSP reads it anyway (thank you PSP), I would put it here. There you go, PSP. Try that.
