A little time out with Dr. Horrible sing along blog songs and squeeze fruit can make a day seem a little better.

It's not really a bad day, per se, just busier than I expected and I have a headache and feel sort of emotionally mixed.

Today is E's 18th birthday!!! I called and left her a message bright and early. I can't believe my hubs has a grown child. I don't ever think of her as being that old, she's technically an "adult'. She doesn't exactly act like it... so I probably treat her younger (not in a mean or purposeful way). I hope she has a good day/weekend. She was suppose to have today off, but they had to make up an "ice day" at school. She does get monday off, so ya for her for three day weekends.
My dad is in town this week, mostly so he can attend an art workshop thing. I wish I could have taken the whole week off to hang out with him. I did get to take tuesday off and hang out, and I got to get my memorial tattoo for my mom.
I love the www.offbeatmama.com site... and this week they had a story about someone loving these hipster mormon mama blogs. I'll admit it, I've spent too much time today already reading some. I'm a little jealous. They're all super cute and trendy, but not in an obnoxious way. They have adorable babies and husbands and are like 6 years younger than me(!!!). They look pulled together and stylish. I feel akward when I dress most of the time. For work, I feel like I'm a child wearing work(ish) wear and that I look sort of sloppy. Their bedhead hair looks cute and purposeful, mine looks like bad bedhead. Some of them have gorgeous short hair I wish I could pull off (without looking like a boy). It's fun to look, live a little vicariously. They do all seem to have massive disposable budgets (I discovered Shabby Apple --- I wish I could shop there), and photographers that follow them around, and sponsors for the blog. THey look like an ad for Urban Outfitters/Anthropologie (minus the UGLY stuff they have in both those stores).

So as not to feel like I'm complaining and don't have little things everyday that make me happy, I'm going to make a little list

~Singing LOUDLY in my car. Showtunes work well for this (Hello Wicked Soundtrack and John Barrowman).
~My celeb crushes. Easy way to cheer up, or spend some time. I can pop on an episode of Firefly or Torchwood and it makes me smile. They're awesome shows, but when the good-looking leading men smile or do something swoon-worthy... *Sigh*
~binging on DVDs of shows
~fun nail polish colors -- I hadn't painted my fingers in forever, but found this perfect grey shade, and then I bought the Glee polish (I really should have just bought the slushied color not the whole pack,it's my favorite).
~Thinking about Comic con. Getting tickets has been a nightmare, but I'm still excited to go.
~Planning a weekend to hang out with K and the cutie baby L
