I have a friend, Tiffany, who had some hand-me-down clothes for me because she is kind and generous. She told me I was welcome to them, I told her I'd come pick them up next Tuesday.
Only next Tuesday I forgot.
And then the next Thursday I forgot.
And then it rained.
And then it snowed.
For 4 months.
Somewhere in there Tiffany had a baby which I thought was why I hadn't made it over there.
She just brought them to me and although she didn't say it out loud, I'm fairly confident that she was thinking "OK, it's been on your to-do list for 4 months, it's going on my to-do list now". It only lasted on her to-do list for 4 days.
I answered the door wearing my running pants and the largest t-shirt I own. I hadn't yet put on makeup, and "doing my hair" lasted for nearly 30 seconds today before I gave up and let it curl. Actually all of those things are still true about me, so hang on and I'll take a picture, then you'll really know what I'm talking about.
OK I answered the door like this:
Minus the lips - I did not do the lips as I was busy hanging my head in shame and apologizing profusely for my extreme lack of responsibility.
She graciously didn't comment on my clearly disheveled appearance and instead had a real conversation with me.
Bless her heart.
And mine. Because as I understand you're always supposed to bless the heart of the person who looks the shabbiest. Especially if you're gonna point out the shabbiness. And well....it's too hard to ignore isn't it?

Developments
A couple of weeks ago Tommy learned how to climb up onto the couch, which connects to the lovesac, which connects to the chair, which connects to the end table, on which sits the potted plant.
Go ahead and ask why I haven't been blogging, I dare you.

March 2011 FB Status
Whoa, what a day!
So far it's been a poop-free day. Things are looking up!
"Maybe I used too many monkies, isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?" - I heart Skullcrusher Mountain.
Might be getting addicted to Psych - as if I needed one more show to watch....
Why are Sundays so much better than every other day?
I've sortof had it with this day.
I had a conversation about doing my taxes - that's close enough to actually filing the paperwork right?
Here's the thing: Tommy's ready for a nap. I'm ready for a nap. Why is nobody in this house sleeping?
the thing about Pi Day is that it's just SO sweet!
I think Daylight Savings shifted Tommy's sleep/nap schedule. Hoo-rah for afternoon naps!!!
It is a blustery day! Fortunately the wind isn't strong enough to blow away my 23 pound baby. Unfortunately it is strong enough to drive us inside where he is bound and determined to call China. *sigh* It's gonna be a long day.
Great business idea: beverage delivery. I'd pay someone standing on my doorstep with a Dr. Pepper today. Wouldn't you?
Josh: "Let's go on a cruise this summer with our tax return!"
Me: "Great idea" (heavy on the sarcasm, we're not in a cruising financial position) "should we just throw Tommy in the suitcase and take him with us?"
Tommy: "Yep" while nodding WILDLY.
So...I guess the boys outvoted me and we now have summer plans. At least until Josh comes to his senses.
BIL's art show opening tonight at Rio Gallery. What exactly do you wear to something like that anyway?
Josh gave a massage this morning and has fallen asleep on the couch to the sounds of uber-relaxing music still playing in our living room. Tommy's napping in his crib. At 1:30 on a Saturday afternoon I can think of nothing better than to nap my own self too.
What kind of vacuum do you have, and do you love it?
So.....if I'm with T-mobile, just how bad is the new bill gonna hurt?
so much for Sunday naps...
What a fun night! Dinner and FHE with friends = fun fun fun.
I've only ever had a real live pedicure once in my whole life. But suddenly I find myself desperately needing one. Where do you go and how much do you pay?
Best pedicure place in the NSL/Bountiful area? .....ready.....GO!
Josh came home in the middle of the day and made my house smell like hamburgers. Gross.
How many times a day do you do the dishes? The truth.
