Here is where we start to lose our minds over wee girl clothes

by Marilyn on January 15, 2008

First of all, I wanna tell you that a startling majority of you SUCK. Everyone except for Carrisa, that is, who gave such a startling actual off-the-top-of-her-head guess that she deserves some sort of special award. Now, she didn’t comment there about the post or anything, but at least she tried. Which is a lot more than I can say about the rest of you slackers. Do you think that just because I’m “slackermama” that I won’t care if you slack off in your duties as faithful readers? Well, think again. And if this is payback for me pretty much ignoring “Delurking Day” well you can just suck it then. Ya’ll are mean. I won’t forget this act of betrayal against myself! You will PAY!!

Anyhow. Where were we?

Oh yes! Girl clothes! (insert internal squee here) This whole “Let’s go buy some girl clothes” thing is rather new to us here. I’m sure I have some plain white onesies and fairly neutral jammies sitting around here (at this point, if it isn’t emblazoned with a firetruck or football, it’s fair game) that the poor girl can wear, but she’s got to have some of her own pinkish clothes, don’t you think? So I wanted to share with you what we have. Cuz I’m a giver.

Caps and socks Lavender Sleeper

Pink Velour Sleeper Cotton Sleeper

Plum Cute
This one here is potentially her “going home” outfit,
provided she’s not a puny runt like her brother.

And there you have it! A total of four outfits, a pair of socks and three caps. Kile was horrified when we gathered it all up last and said in a horrified tone, “We’ll go through that in a day!” Right you are, good man. Though I’m sure that sometime in the next couple of months we’ll pick up other little things here and there. And I do have a dear, good friend who is sending us some clothes. So I’m sure poor Evelyn will not arrive on the planet with just four (albeit adorable) outfits to her name. Still, I think we’ve done very good thus far. That “going home” outfit is TO DIE FOR and was 70% off so, you know, BONUS. Plus, it’s called “Plum Cute”. I’d like to know who in their right mind could resist that. Of course, I’ve just realized that it lacks socks, shoes, booties or something similar to cover the poor things feet with. Oops.

I’m going to be SUCH a great mother of a girl, aren’t I?

(It must be noted that all but one item up there still retains it’s tags from the store.  And the only reason the Children’s Place sleeper lacks those is because Liam tore them off in the store for us.  I’m not sure, but I think I’ll probably have to take those tags off at some point and commit to the fact that this baby is wearing those clothes no mater what, even if she IS born with a penis.)

Can you find me?

by Marilyn on January 15, 2008

Well, besides HERE, of course.  That’s too easy.  See, I’m also elsewhere in the great blogosphere today.  I have a post up somewhere and I want you all to guess where it is.  I’m not going to post the link, so I thought if maybe I could get you guys to try to GUESS where I am, then that might be fun.  Yes, this IS preschool, how did you guess?

If you’re completely stumped, you can always leave a comment or email me and I will spill the beans.  But there will be no posting of the link here.  Because this is my game and I said so. Now, those of you who already know full well where this post is, no fair hollering it out in the comments.  However, you can post and say, “I know, I know!  Neener, neener!”  No rule against gloating in this game.

You would probably like some clues, huh?  Because the blogosphere is a rather large place and to simply guess out of thin air would be rather difficult, wouldn’t it?  So here are my clues:

  • She’s not really so bad, I think she’s rather fantastic.
  • It’s kinda dark down here. Until you turn on the light, that is.

That’s it!  Again, you can ask for hints.  If you find it, leave a comment here letting us all know how clever you are.  And leave a comment there too, because I wouldn’t mind some input.

Now, commence the guessing!
