Sure Is Looking Mighty Christmasy Around Here :)

So I'm obviously horrible at this blogging thing. I'm not surprised, being that a two year old doesn't leave you a lot of, "thinking and writing", time. The tiny toddler mouth is on constant blab mode, and I love it! Although, some time to gather my adult thoughts would be nice.
As I sat here writing the previous paragraph, my little toddler butt came to me holding an ornament that she had just so quietly taken off the tree, saying "Momma me poop butt".

We decorated our tree last night, and started a new tradition (MARUSCHAN!) of decorating our tree on Evelyn's birthday. We had such a great time! I will post pictures at some point but I have to wait until Vince wakes up and gives me his USB cord for his camera, because our camera is now broken and doesn't work, yippee.
It was amazing to me how I didn't have to explain to Evelyn how this Christmas thing works. We went and bought some new decorations, 50% off at Lowes, woo hoo! We then got our Christmas tree. Eve was very excited throughout this process, and the minute we got home, before I could even begin to open our things and before August could get our other Christmas decorations from the garage; Evelyn had already ripped open all of our new decorations and started setting them up on our console table/record player. I didn't even know she knew how to open plastic wrapped things! I also didn't know that she understood what the point of Christmas decorations was all about, but she did.... of course! She always figures stuff out before I can even explain them to her....the teenage years will be fun!

I thought one of the cutest moments of the night was when August was putting Evelyn's Christmas jam-jams on and he asked her, "What do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas this year?" What does Evelyn say?..."Presents!" I didn't know she understood that either! But she does!
All in all, we had such a fantastic time last night! Evelyn was so interested in EVERYTHING, and very excited, and our house looks mighty Christmasy! Now all I need to do is remember the innocence in my daughters excitement over Christmas and that will keep my humbuggedness out :)

Oh what to blog...

Somedays, I just can't find any words that make sense in this head of mine. So instead...a song will do...

Ghost Of Corporate Future

A man walks out of his apartment,
It is raining, he's got no umbrella
He starts running beneath the awnings,
Trying to save his suit,
Trying to save his suit.
Trying to dry, and to dry, and to dry but no good

When he gets to the crowded subway platform,
He takes off both of his shoes
He steps right into somebody's fat loogie
And everyone who sees him says, "Ew."
Everyone who sees him says, "Ew."

But he doesn't care,
'Cause last night he got a visit from the
Ghost of Corporate Future
The ghost said, "Take off both your shoes
Whatever chances you get
Especially when they're wet."

He also said,
"Imagine you go away
On a business trip one day
And when you come back home,
Your children have grown
And you never made your wife moan,
Your children have grown
And you never made your wife moan."

"And people make you nervous
You'd think the world is ending,
And everybody's features have somehow started blending
And everything is plastic,
And everyone's sarcastic,
And all your food is frozen,
It needs to be defrosted."

"You'd think the world was ending,
You'd think the world was ending,
You'd think the world was ending right now.
You'd think the world was ending,
You'd think the world was ending,
You'd think the world was ending right now."

"Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee,
And never ever watch the ten o'clock news,
Maybe you should kiss someone nice,
Or lick a rock,
Or both."

"Maybe you should cut your own hair
'Cause that can be so funny
It doesn't cost any money
And it always grows back
Hair grows even after you're dead"

"And people are just people,
They shouldn't make you nervous.
The world is everlasting,
It's coming and it's going.
If you don't toss your plastic,
The streets won't be so plastic.
And if you kiss somebody,
Then both of you'll get practice."

"The world is everlasting
Put dirtballs in your pocket,
Put dirtballs in your pocket,
And take off both your shoes.
'Cause people are just people,
People are just people,
People are just people like you.
People are just people,
People are just people,
People are just people like you."

The world is everlasting
It's coming and it's going
The world is everlasting
It's coming and it's going
It's coming and it's going

My Baby

Little Miss Evelyn Rose.
The reason I am alive.
She challenges me every day.
I never thought that one day someone
would actually control me; the rebel.
But I don't think I could have asked for a better boss.
I love that she has somewhat control.
I know that she is secure in who she is,
and that she trusts me enough
to express to me her inner most feelings.
Even if they're only thoughts of Dora.
We have a great time together, the two of us.
Now that her imagination is starting to grow,
I can welcome her into my fairytale land inside my head!
I've never felt comfortable enough
to let someone into my dream land,
But now I couldn't imagine not letting her in.
I never understood the deep rooted love that comes with a child.
It's liberating, yet restricting.
Balance.
I can't wait to help her develop
her sense of pride, her quirks, and her flaws.
I can't wait to teach her that her flaws are beautiful.
I can't wait to teach her how beautiful
and empowering it is to be a woman.
I can't wait to share with her
my innermost feelings and thoughts.
She is an amazing, beautiful, dramatic, intelligent baby girl
that I love more than I ever thought I could love.

Dead Disco

I figured since it was so popular to write a blog, I better jump in before I'm not cool enough! Also, I figured it would be a really good way for you guys to get to know me better, and more personally!
So to begin, I will start with the Lyrics of the song that I chose to name my Blog after...
Dead Disco--by Metric!

Skip town. slow down
Push it to the east coast
Step down turn around
Push it to the west
Need less, use less
We're asking for too much I guess
Cause all we get is...

Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La la la la la la la la la la

Tits out, pants down
Overnight to London
Touch down, look around
Everyone's the same
World wide, air tight
No one's got a face left to blame
And all we get is...

Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La la la la la la la la la la

Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La la la la la la la la la la

I know, I know you tried to change things
I know you tried to change
I know
