Greg: Hey Mom, what will you give me if I can crawl by the end of the month?
Me: Respect. Greg: Pfff. (later...) Greg: What will Grandma give me if I can crawl by the end of the month? Me: Probably outlet covers. Greg: Augh. (later...) Greg: Ok, I'll do it for $5.00. Me: How about you don't do it for $5.00? Gregory had his half birthday. We went on a mommy-son outing and got him a balloon and a 500-piece puzzle of the United States.
I had my birthday and went out to eat with "the guys" at Red Robin. Then I got a really cool bag from Gary and a game from my parents. The next day, Gary made me a cake and we ate it with ice cream. Gregory officially weighs more than Nugget now. Gregory can get up an all fours and rock back and forth. He moves his legs correctly for crawling but he doesn't yet understand that he needs to move his arms, too. Gary's been studying for the Professional Engineering exam in October. Two nights ago, I got 5 consecutive hours of sleep. Woot! Second time this year. I was looking for a restaurant to go to for my birthday dinner, and I found a place in Portland called Brazil Grill. This is the first sentence on their website: "Brazil Grill is Portland's best value for a great dining experience." When I read "best value", I thought, "Sweet! That means it can't be TOO expensive."
This is what I found on their menu page: "Adults $34.95" So I guess we'll be going elsewhere. Let's face it. This is going to turn into a mommyblog. My kid's too cute. If you want other types of blog posts, you're going to have to request it in the comments. I function better with feedback. In fact, Gary teases me all the time for fishing for compliments. I ask him stuff like, "Hey, aren't you so proud of me for doing this?" and "Don't you think I look so cute today?" He thinks it's funny, but I contend that I'm making it easy to keep me pleased: he just has to say "yes" when prompted.

Read the comments. Example: "I couldn't believe it when I first tried this milk. It was delicious and very white. Wholesome, one might say. I poured some on my cereal. It made it wet and tasty. It never has stopped Cap'n Crunch from cutting my mouth, though. That's the only problem with it. But, it's from a cow so you've got that. Try some..." Gary's quote of the week:
"What doesn't kill you makes you want to die." |
