Oh No!

So... Jeremy's reunion is coming up. I contemplated exercising, but then was advised that with what i was actually willing to do, it wasn't going to make much difference. Bless Ali's heart for introducing me to Spanx.. never heard of them before, but now I am a believer! Belly mostly gone, in my new little black dress.

So i went out last night and bought 2 dresses. One was a contender for the reunion and the other was a loungy-type that I could wear around the house. Total Spent- 50 bucks.
Jeremy whined a little about me spending money, but then he dropped it.

So, what did I do today? I went to the Forum and bought my Spanx, 40 buck, new dress 70 bucks, 1 set of pajama's and a bra (with a newly impressive bra size... whawho!) 104 bucks, a sweater-shawl-thing, 70 bucks, 2 bathing suits for Analucia 107 bucks, lunch 15 bucks. Total 450 dollars... not bad for an unemployed domestic diva.. huh! Holy crap, what is he going to say when he sees the bill!!!!!

Funny thing happened at the forum...Analucia was checking out the fish, and kept yelling, "Koi, Koi, Koi." And this little boy asked his Momma, "Why does she keep calling the fish Koi?" And the mother actually said, "I don't know, maybe she thinks it is their name." I can't believe my 2 year old actually knew more than this adult!!! A few minutes later some older kids came by the pond and said, "hey, check out the Koi." The uneducated Mom, who was still there, looked at the kids quizzically. I bet she went home today, and looked up Koi on Wikipedia.

Here is a review of our past few days.....I took Analucia to the beach yesterday with some friends. Since she normally HATES the water, i didn't bring her suit, much less a change of clothes. Of course, she ended up running in the water and got all sandy. My car is now a wreck... Jeremy ended up cleaning the garage last night, of all the sand we left as we got out of our car.
On Wednesday, I had some bonding time with Alessandra while My Mom and Lulu went shopping, then I had a playdate at my house... MunchkinStory Time. Analucia did a lot better with sharing. She just loves showing off her new shoes and her new baby sister! Jeremy came home early so I could go to dinner with Gabby. I thought it was a chick-dinner, and she thought it was a couple dinner.... so there I was with both Gabby and Nigel at Karl Strauss... fun time, had my first glass of wine, in like.. FOREVER! I was sure drained afterwards...
Tuesday we all went to Legoland at night. Jeremy and Lulu and My Mom and Lulu got to go on some rides together. I hung out with Lola and tried to take photos. During the day, Lulu and I had a nice lunch with Stacy and Maddie at Souplantation and then went to the August Bday Party for TCMAM at Pine Park.
We've had a great last few days.... Analucia has been practicing for the olympics,(see photos) Alessandra has been keeping Mommy and Daddy AWAKE, I have been good a reducing the amount of junk food i have been eating lately, although at the present moment, I am thinking of getting up and eating some ice cream and sweattarts. And Sadly, my Mom just headed home... she has been with me again for the last week. This is it. This is the beginning of Lesley trying to rear 2 Munchkins all by herself. Wish me luck.
