Hey! I’m still here. Back, actually.

I’ve been with my mom from Friday afternoon until yesterday afternoon, going to a hockey game, going to Portland & Kittery for a few days (and mentally waving at my internet friends as I passed their exits, Hi!) and then coming home and taking a LONG ASS NAP. After the nap, Dave and I went and made the rounds to tell his family. They were all excited and surprised, since we’re, you know. 30 and shit, they thought maybe we weren’t planning on having kids. ha. If only they knew.  After The Telling, I went on a haunted history walk with Deb (my former coteacher) and came home and ate waffles and passed out again. I so don’t want to go to school today!!!

But alas, I must, right?  It was good to be with my mom, I didn’t get much, and didn’t get anything I couldn’t have gotten here, but we did do a lot of perusing in BRU and the indie baby store in Portland, leading me to beleive that I can get whatever I really need or want in my own town, but when it comes to baby stuff and wedding crap, I have to leave town.  Especially if I want to test-drive strollers (you know, one of my obsessions) that aren’t baby-SUVs, which I despise.  My mom was all about those, until I pointed them out to her at the mall trying to maneuver through doors and such.

It was good though, to just have a little mini-break with my mom, while Dave stayed home and had to work two games, and do two freelance shoots, but one of the shoots was a barter to have our disposal removed and replaced with regular plumbing.  I have a shiny new drain system, yeehaw, and some clothes and some experience playing around with cool strollers. I’m still leaning towards a Mac (expect an email, kb, cos I have questions!) but it was cool to testdrive the other good strollers as well.

Alright, I probably should get my arse in gear and go to school. Sigh.
