Hurry Sister, we have lepers waiting.

Hurry, Sister, we have lepers waiting.

My husband made me watch Cannonball Run II today, and yes, the most fascinating part of the movie was seeing how drunk they ALL were.

I had a day off today and I just sort of acted like I was off. That may sound strange, but it actually felt strange to do it.

I was confused by one incident in particular today. I went to Old Navy to see if they had any baby clothes on sale (because I am still largely in denial about having a child at the end of this month and I'm not ready to commit to full price clothes). The center of the store had all these tent style dresses. I walked up and down the section. These dresses were huge. I am huge. I am totally confused. Old Navy doesn't carry maternity. I walked up and down the section. The people here will think I'm crazy if I think I could fit into these dresses. "But they're so huge," I thought. I finally decided that the Trussville location was the only place I could get away with trying on the dress (being far enough away from my normal Old Navy). As I walked to the back I laughed at the girl tending the dressing area. We both laughed at the situation, but I admitted that curiosity had gotten the best of me, and I had to know if it fit or not. Strangely enough, it did. And friends, it's a medium. I am under NO circumstances a medium. I think this is God's way of saying "sorry for the low-rider jeans and bohemian crud last time you were pregnant." I really had very little choice with that trend. So, it is you, the non-pregnant, that I wonder about.

Anyway, this evening was Mena and my first "beauty day." I did a full spa treatment that included flower stickers on her fingernails, and sponge curlers in her hair. The final treat was a dessert of strawberries and whip cream. It was a blast.
