It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....
Hubs, Jake and I went to Valley Fair last night. It's not like we had money to shop... I just wanted to get out of the house. I told Hubs I was bored - so off to the mall to cheer the wifey up :). Jake was so good - he passed out the minute we hit the freeway (and the Mommy followed soon after that!) - and he was out for most of the time that we were there. He woke up when we were at Coach - HAHA... he truly is his mother's child!!! I'm amazed at how the whole mall is fully decorated in Christmas splendor - and it's not even Thanksgiving yet! There's just something wrong about that. Let the other holiday pass before jumping to the next, people!!!
It's a bit of a budget crunch now since Hubs and I realized it's only 3 paychecks before we fly out to MNL. It's easier to look at the big picture that way, you know? Hmm... how many times do I get paid before my vacation? To top it off, there's Christmas and Hubs' birthday and C's birthday smack in the middle. Nuts!!! Anyways, Hubs and I were discussing what we want for Christmas and I 'thought' I had my mind made-up until I got to the mall. I saw a really nice eye candy at the jewelry store. I told Hubs it would be my "JLo" ring if he gets it for me. Then I saw what I like at Sephora - the STILA perfume, the Musti baby cologne (for me, not Jake)... and of course, at Coach I 'visited' my tote again :).
I never realized how intense the preparation is to travel with an infant. I've been searching and researching and asking around for this. What do I bring for Jake? It feels like I need to bring every frikkin' thing.. just in case! See that's me... I don't want to be caught off guard and not prepared! It's the "Girl Scout wannabe" in me that needs to have control over things that I can control. I want to buy the whole stock of Pampers and Enfamil at Cosco.. just in case!!! I'm even at the point where I think I'm crazy enough to lug his flouridated water around. Slap me crazy, please. Someone... anyone! The girls at N@W have been great - giving me tips and hints and shiznits! It would've REALLY helped if I shopped for warm weather clothes for Jake when it was... um... warm weather clothes season? Darn!! Oh well.. off to SM we go I guess!
Right now, Hubs, Jake and I are on the waiting list for Cathay Pacific. Auntie Buni, Sari's aunt - is hooking us up. Nuts... C will be PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSED if I'm not there in time for her wedding.
So what happened today at work? Hmm.. let's see... "Good Morning Josephine. How are you? Oh, by the way.. you're flying to MN on the 3rd ok? Talk to you later!" Oh.... OH OK! Nuts! I'm happy to go, but at the same time - I'm leaving Hubs and Jake for 3 days! I'm getting teary-eyed at the thought but Hubs said they'll be fine. Ahh...! And it's going to be sooooooooooo cold!!! At least I'm going with Buyer A... so that should be fun.
Friends J & C are getting married on Friday, the 21st! It's such a mad rush but everything and everyone's coming together to make it happen. It's such a lovely thing. It's like, everyone's taking them under their wings to make their day special, even under such special circumstance. Hubs is the emcee for the reception - I'm the cord sponsor I believe. Friend J, who sang at our wedding, will also sing for theirs. J is such a good guy, and a great singer. He's like the resident singer for all weddings. Hubs and 10th Letter J are going to put together a slide show for the reception of J & C's pictures... it's super cool! Even friend R is going to help make C's tiara! Oh.. I feel like crying!
Speaking of Friend R, we FINALLY had lunch today! It was nice to get out and have a lovely lunch with a great friend! She was talking about how it is in her department.. "sassy" is the word of the day! We talked about being married hags, loving the Hubs', not having enough money (HAH!). She's such a nice friend! :) Nothing beats great food with great company, ya know?
Going up to AC to spend the weekend with M&D E. It's been a while since we spent the night up with the IL's.. at least Jake will have quality time with Nana and Grandpa.
OK.. so what's the ISSUE for the day for me? I just have major issues... MAJOR issues with Person A. I just don't like her! And she gave me enough reasons not to like her.. so THERE! I rest my case!
Today's High: RAIN; Lunch with Friend, R; newly painted nails (OPI Red Red Wine); tonkatsu;
Today's Low: Feeling about how impatient I was with Jake last night :( - NUTS NUTS NUTS!; It's Friday and yet the day is dragging like a you know what!
