I’m sure there’s something more pithy to say than “OMG, it’s MONDAY.”

by Marilyn on June 30, 2008

This is how it gets to be 5pm on a Monday afternoon and I still haven’t posted.  First: You make it a Monday.  The end.

GAH.  Of course, you all read about my weekend, so you should understand where I’m coming from.  It’s hard to come down from something like that.  I’m pretty sure there wasn’t near enough alcohol consumed either.  In fact, come to think of it, I don’t think I had ANY alcohol!  Dangit!  I hate when that happens.

My online time has been very broken up today.  A few minutes here, a few minutes there.  Not a lot of time for a) posting, b) reading blogs, c) commenting on blogs (goes without saying), or generally getting anything done around here that remotely resembles housework.  I did do some online shopping in the last 24 hours, which you would think would be fun but is NOT.  We’re still trying to make staying at Westin on Friday night work so that means corners are being cut EVERYWHERE.  I need to find/raise/make/save money wherever I can manage.  So far, not doing so hot (see the above online shopping).  It’s a work in progress.  And the stuff I bought is sorta “gotta have” anyhow, so I guess that makes it… okay?

Anyhow.  All of that aside, I wanted to share some girly goodness with you all.  Witness what my husband did to Evie when he got her dressed yesterday morning:

Girly Girl

He stuck a bow to her head!  Actually, it’s a “clippie” that has a bow on it (parents of girls know exactly what a “clippie” is, right?).  Anyhow, he used the ol’ Karo syrup routine and stuck it on there.  And, yeah, it was kinda adorable.  But it was a hot day.  And the bow would not stay put.  Soooo, when we were at Walmart, I searched for some simple headbands.  You know what a tall order that is?  Now, I generally dislike baby headbands because they all look ridiculous to me.  All satiny, lacey, spangley… BLEH.  No thank you.  My baby is not a Bratz doll, thankyouverymuch.  But, lo and behold, I was actually able to find some SIMPLE headbands.  No adornments (well, one had an applique style butterfly on it, but it was very understated).  SOLD.  And now, we have something to clip the clippie to!

New Hair/Head Accesories

Kill me now.  I know I said I would never do the headband thing (did I ever say that on this blog?  If not, know that I said it in person.  Often.) but this is CUTE.  So I guess this means I’ve joined the Dark Side or something.  Whatever.  Like you could resist these cheeks:

Pretty Girl in B&W
She will conquer BlogHer ‘08 with those cheeks, mark my words.
