my list of things to do today.

the weekend is fast approaching, which for me brings a fun get together with friends, a visit from the in-laws, a rockin new outfit to wear, & plenty more.  all of this requires a day of preparation... well most of this anyway. there's not much to prepare for the in-laws, short of cleaning the bathrooms (which would be done regardless) & washing the sheets that tucker lays on all the time.  I guess the outfit is already ready, but I do need to get a jacket for it, since mother nature decided to laugh in our faces & take away the 80 degree sun & replace it with 55 degrees, just for Saturday's party. rock on mother nature.

so anyway, here's my list:

target- pick up a cute jacket (if it's meant to be mine, they'll have my size), leggings & a few odds & ends (that yo-baby yogurt is so much cheaper at target!)

trader joe's- fruit, fruit & more fruit.  guess what i'm taking tomorrow? that's right... fruit! i'm making a fruit tray, cause you can't just order organic fruit trays.

whole foods? - maybe tomorrow morning though. need meat. in our house.

wrapping gifts for tomorrow's party

another meeting with a university admissions counselor. i'll learn from my last visit & not post the link, as they knew all about my blog when i showed up. i was definitely taken aback by that, so i'd like to not do that again.

wash diapers.

vacuum, laundry, dust, dishes... you know, the same as every day. along with walking the dog, feeding the babe, changing diapers, etc., etc., etc.

chat with a great friend.

hug & kiss my husband & my son. those are always on the list.

...seems like enough, right? i'm sure i'll add plenty more in there, but for now, i'm off to make breakfast & get ahead on those hugs & kisses.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Just a few thoughts for today (in NO particular order):

I love...

1.  Whole Foods 2 Bite Chocolate Chip Cookies... and 2 Bite Brownies. Yum! So much deliciousness crammed into these tiny little morsels... Oh so good! Now, if only I could stop at 2 bites.

2.  Twitter. I love it. I love twittering with all the other mommy twitterers!  I love learning all sorts of random things from fellow Twitterers. For example, today I learned that Dairy Queen has a new blizzard- oreos & cookie dough! Fabulous!

(...and no, I don't only love things that relate to food...)

3. My iPhone. (see- no food!) The iPhone has this great map feature which picks up on transit time and tells you exactly which bus stop to be at, what time to be there- the whole 9 yards. Fantastic.  Of course, it also has many other fabulous applications (you know, like the commercial- "it has an app for that"), but the map is super in the city.

4. People Magazine.  I consider all celebrity gossip to be 'alleged' until People confirms it. I love Thursday mail- my weekly issue arrives at my house and all is wonderful. 

5.  Uggs.  Call me circa 2002 if you want, but I love me some Uggs.  Barefoot in my furry boots tramping through the snow- nothing beats that! I love them so much I am very seriously considering buying B Man a pair for winter. 

6.  Cookie Lee jewelry (yes, this is a teeny tiny plug for my home business). Each piece is between $14-48.  There's something for every single person and every single occasion.  I LOVE it! Looking down right now- I'm in love with the Cobblestone bracelet on my right arm and the Diamond Cut Nugget bracelets on my left.  I no longer feel completely dressed without some CL bling on! (Feel free to check it out right here! )

7. Bags. All bags, all shapes, all sizes.  Handbags, tote bags, everything! I am addicted. I always want to buy a new one...

8.  Cloth diapers. Another addiction... fluffy, cute softness for Baby B's bum.  I just recently bought some Blueberry pockets and they are SO soft. Who knew that diapers could cause so much joy!

9.  Fall weather... It's been in the 60s all last week and now in the 70s. I love the crispy cool football on Friday nights kind of Fall weather.  I am so thrilled to be (hopefully, crossing our fingers) moving into a new house, where we can open the windows up and enjoy the fabulous weather!

.... 9 seems like a good number to quit on. Of course, this list is void of my family members... I adore my family, but this list is meant to be somewhat more frivolous than my family.

Now, leave me alone so I can go eat some brownies, the 2 bite kind!
