It's the little things

I feel like most of my posts lately have been bitchy, bitchy, blah, blah, complain, complain!

As I was in the shower tonight I was thinking of the little things that I really cherish these days (that would have otherwise seemed pathetic to me just 2.5 years ago). Taking a shower. Eating a meal without one eye on a toddler. Grocery shopping alone. Driving alone. Shit - doing ANYthing alone. Getting a little buzzed with some girlfriends.

As for my constant food freakishness - I have been lurking on Flikr.com. They have some great food photography groups on there. I even LOVE looking at stuff I would never eat. Some of the photography is beautiful. It got me thinking if I could do it. I may start photographing some of the things I prepare and/or eat. There is even a group on Flikr called "Food Porn". So true.

Totally off topic - I really need a haircut. Okay, I'm going to bed. It's going to be a long (but fun) day tomorrow. The hub and I have a date on a cruise ship! No, we are not going anywhere, but we are having a private lunch on the ship and get to do a tour. At least we can pretend we are on one for a few hours. After that we are driving up to see our friends who live about an hour away.

Bitchy

My wonderful, lovely helpful husband is in Aspen snowboarding. He's been there since Saturday morning. I'm done. I need a break. I want a break. I deserve a break!!

I took my daughter to our local theme park today for a couple of hours. I bought her these platform flip flops so she had that extra 3/4" she needed to ride the roller coasters. After weekly trips to this place, we needed a change of scenery. We were riding the same 7 rides. It worked! We got to ride the coasters and had a blast. Thank goodness for platform flip-flops!

While at the park I was reminded of a few trends I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
The first is skinny jeans. Who invented these? And WHY? In my opinion they do NOT flatter even the best figures. YUCK. And let's not even talk about MEN's skinny jeans. That is just gross. The second is when women wear a racer back/T-back shirt and a regular bra. Is this on purpose? I think it's so tacky to have your bra show so blatantly like that. Who wants to see your bra? And most of the time, the shirt is white and the bra is black or some contrasting color. Is that a trend? A mistake? I don't get it. Get a T-back bra, ladies.

Can you tell I'm bitchy?

Screwed!

So we have new insurance. Again. I go to pick up my birth control and discover that instead of a 3 month supply I can only get one month at a time. Okay. Annoying but I can deal. My old insurance allowed me to get 3 months for $45. Now? It's ONE MONTH for $40!! Holy shit. That's $120 for 3 months now vs. $40. Know what is costs if you have NO insurance? $160. Such a joke.
