In The Mind of A Thirtysomething Mom

In the Meantime....

This week is crazy busy with final rehearsals for Beauty & the Beast.  Thankfully, the performance is Sunday and things should slow down after then.

Rather than leave up my crazy calendar post for the rest of the month, I thought I'd give y'all a couple of links to posts on my other blogs.  I've got both a contest and a giveaway going, so enjoy!

To enter for a chance to win a 3 pack of Halloween OPI polishes, go here.

To score free samples and coupons of a great shampoo & conditioner that actually does what it says it will do, go here. 

I'll be back when life decides it's had enough of me for the time being.  :)

And you wonder why I don't blog as much anymore.

Maybe I Should Have Gone With Strawberry

I recently bought some new shampoo and body wash to try out a new scent.  I went with Lavender/Lilac for the shampoo and Lavender/Vanilla for the body wash.  Saturday was the first time I used these new products and I totally loved the scent.  

Mr. Smoochiefrog and I were hanging out that night and I was telling him about the new stuff.  When I mentioned the body wash he got real excited as he loves the smell of vanilla, then he got dejected when he discovered that the lavender overpowered the vanilla scent.  He asked why I didn't get the one that was just vanilla.  I told him I didn't want to walk around and have people thinking I was a cake or something.  :)

Cut to Monday.

I had just finished doing some chores and there was a strong vanilla scent in the air.  I went to Mr. Frog and asked him to smell me and tell me if it was me.  He did and said he just smelled lavender.  The rest of the conversation went like this:

Me:  "No. I smell vanilla."  Sniffs arm.  "Here, smell my arm right here." (the bicep area of my arm)

Mr. Frog:  Sniffs.  "Yeah, that's totally vanilla right there."

Me:  "See, told you I smelled vanilla!"

Mr. Frog:  Sniffs again.  "You smell like a pancake."

Me:  "And that right there is why I didn't buy the plain vanilla scented body wash."

Happy 4th Birthday K-Girl

Whether you're sleeping,

or playing;

acting silly,

or carrying on meaningful conversations with family;

you'll always be my precious baby girl.

Happy 4th Birthday K-Girl!  May you have a great day!

Friday Fragments 9/18/09

Friday Fragments are bits and pieces of your week that are usually brief; too short for a stand-alone post, but too good to discard. Collect humorous observations, "Heard" items, and other small gems and put them together in a Friday Fragments post.  Here we go....

• D informed me yesterday that he now has his driving permit.  Be afraid people, be very afraid.  There is a 17 year old hormone with feet and permission to operate a motorized vehicle loose in Southern Mississippi.

• K has been fascinated with nursing for awhile.  She asks me sometimes about how she used to drink mommo milk and if that's what made her such a big, strong girl.  I realized exactly how fascinated she was when she showed me yesterday that her stuffed baby doggie was drinking mommo milk from a stuffed mama cat.  Well I don't think that's exactly how it works, but I suppose it could happen.  Right?

• This little gem was seen on the way home from dance last night.  I swear this picture is not doctored in any way.  It's the real deal and well, I'll let the picture speak for itself:

I'm sure there's more, but I can't remember anything else right now.  Y'all have a great weekend!
