Random Girl Strikes Again

All things wise and wonderful... and some really dumb... and mostly random

7 just told me there is a blog out there called "A Girl Named Bob" (http://www.zweb-network.com/agirlnamedbob/) and for a split second I was annoyed. Then I looked at it and saw that she doesn't spell it like I do, so it's ok. I spell mine BoB. I sure have had a lot of weird nicknames. BoB Digum Desu, Luna the Moonchilde, Random Girl... but now I just answer to Mommy. Hmmm. Maybe I need a new nickname. Got any suggestions? Let me know. kaykaybates@yahoo.com

My quest to find a new outfit got me all worked up. I went so far as to repierce my ears. They had finally closed up after all this time of not wearing earrings. I miss wearing them, especially since I got my hair all cut off. I feel rather unfeminine quite often, but I think this will help. I am going to need some new earrings though. All the ones I have are left overs from high school. I've got some that are snakes, some silver fish bones, a lot of shoulder duster ones with stars and moons from my Luna the Moonchilde phase,... I've even got some cows wearing hawaiian shirts. I suppose 7 will have start buying me some jewelry again. Maybe some lovely sparklies to match my engagement ring. oooh...

So 7 is down in LA all week for training. I'm going to go visit him tomorrow and we're going out for a friend's birthday. It'll be nice to have a kid free date night. I went out to find an outfit to wear since everything else I have to go out in has been worn to death and it's all getting rather baggy. I need bras desperately too. Shopping with two little ones is a bit trying. The double stroller doesn't fit in the trunk of my car very well so I took the single. That leaves Oliver to walk beside it. And to run off. And to hide in the clothes and play peek-a-boo and crawl under the dressing room doors and make mommy crazy. So the shopping trip was a doozy.

I hate it when 7 leaves. The saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" couldn't be truer in my case. I start to get really grumpy when we get close to him leaving because I know I'm going to miss him terribly. Then while he's gone, we call each other all the time, get all starry eyed and act goofy like we did when we were dating. Then when he comes home I love him like crazy again until he forgets to take out the trash or something stupid like that. I'm fickle I guess.

Don't get me wrong, I always love him dearly and he's my best friend in the world, but I let little things get under my skin and fester and make me not like him sometimes. I wish I weren't like that, but then again, he could just change the way he does things that bug me and we wouldn't have any problem. Heehee, like either of us are going to change like that. We're both very set in our ways.

I'm rather proud of myself this time. Last time 7 had to go out of town for a few days I was very paranoid and scared of people breaking in. I kept the kids in my bed with me and even locked the bedroom door. This time I'm feeling pretty comfortable in my home. I even left the bedroom door open last night. I can't do much about the kids sleeping with me since both of them are a sick right now. It's near impossible to get them out of there when they feel icky. Oh well, they keep me warm.

Ah, tomorrow night 7 can keep me warm with no little people to get between us... unless we pick up a few midgets at the bar!

I'm back! I have been gone a while, I know. We don't have the computer set up in the apartment yet so I haven't really had a chance to blog. 7 brought home a laptop from work so I'm putting it to good use tonight.

I must make an apology to 7 for my last blog. I apparently misunderstood his meaning. So, sorry honey.

So we're all moved in, well, more so than we were in LA. I've got most of our stuff out of boxes and we're slowly buying the things we need to finish up the place. We got a kitchen table the other day. It really kicks butt. We bought it over at the resturant supply store and it's all stainless steel. Great for cooking prep since we are short on counterspace.

Overall I am happy about it. It's good to be on our own again. We've noticed that I am much easier to live with now. I'm not always worried about what Mom and Dad will think of anything we do or say, you know? We can be adults again!! Yeah!

So my reunion is coming up really soon. I'm begining to get a little nervous about it since I haven't lost enough weight yet. I've got a certain goal and I've come up a little short. I've been a bad bad girl lately about sticking to my diet. There is just so much stuff I wanna eat! I put myself back on the induction phase a few days ago and am trying to get some exercise each day. It's hard to be good when you're lazy.

Boy this is a boring blog. Sorry! I usually write when I have something to say. Nothing good is coming to mind today.
