How I Love Those Tidbits of Awesome

There have been several tidbits of awesome recently. Oh how I love it:

-I ate Candy Cane Joe Joe's for the very first time. WOW. So good!! I get it now, y'all. I GET IT. Keep 'em comin'.

-I shopped at Old Navy with a 30% off coupon and a tremendously well-behaved baby.

-I watched The Office and 30 Rock while Timmy brushed my hair and massaged my scalp. (Oh my heavenly bliss.)

-I slept in on Friday morning for the first time in months (thank you, Bottle God), while Timbo got up and fed the baby. I woke when I wanted to, instead of when my cute little baby alarm went off.

-I went out on a date with Timberwolf for the first time in a couple months (excluding a last-minute late-night jaunt to Cheesecake Factory, and also excluding the more recent mini-date to Stake Conference, which ended with Jean throwing up on the sidewalk... but that's a story for another day). On Friday night, Tim and I went out to dinner at Mimi's and then drove to Disneyland, where we raced around the park like a couple of kids without a stroller, and managed to go on 11 rides in 3.5 hours. We forgot how convenient it is to NOT have a stroller (or baby, haha), and how great it is to go on the scary rides, and how fantastic it is to be there late at night when lines are super short!! We love you, Weston, really we do.

-I attended our daytime enrichment yesterday, which was a crazy-awesome craft extravanganza. There was a lot of crafting and general extravaganzing going on, and we all enjoyed a yummy soup lunch and plenty of laughs and conversation. I left with a sweet-looking glass ball ornament (yaaaaaay I made something), along with my nativity blocks (wooden blocks with cute nativity images), which are very sad and unfinished-looking. (I started them, but then realized that the sanding alone would probably take two hours. So, being the wholeheartedly uncrafty person that I am, I decided that I would finish them at home in a very sub-par manner, and then apologize in the future to my children who have the plain, unfinished blocks instead of the pretty, stained, shiny blocks that all their friends have. Sorry, children, but you have kind of a low-maintenance mom, so if I were you, I'd take my advice and try to embrace her low-maintenance-ness in order to be satisfied with sub-par things and not be disappointed all the time.) :-)

-I found out that my friend Abbie's husband got accepted into medical school. YAYAYAYAY!!!

A couple of the downsides to my tidbits of awesome:

-Going to bed at 2:00 AM after a fab date with the Timster, only to awake at 6:00 AM to a babbling, yelling baby. Oops, I just fell asleep while typing that. I'm awake again.

-Checking the Weather Channel this morning, only to find out that it's going up to 92 degrees today. Oh blurg. Thanks a lot, Al Gore. (haha)
