Pretty In Pink

So, I am using the new Blogger interface - we will see how we like it! My phone decided that it wanted to die today. Can't say that I am sad. I tried to use the camera this morning and it didn't want to take any pictures. I thought - I definitely need a new phone. I have been looking for a long time but couldn't make up my mind. Then, this afternoon, I dropped it one too many times and the screen went white and that was it. Ok. Time for a new phone. Off to Walmart I went and ten minutes later, I had a new droid for $1.05. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself!

Avery went to Gigi and Pops this morning, but since my camera phone didn't work, I have no pictures of them together. Boo. But I did take pictures of her today - she really looked like a big girl! I found a pink headband that is so cute and I've never seen it before - it must have been Soph's at one point but it was so cute, I am sad she hasn't been wearing it this whole time! She is wearing her little jeans and Keds. I got a pair as a hand me down from a girl at work and I have been waiting for her to fit in them! She is so cute. I can't believe tomorrow, she will be 10 months old!




These are such terrible pictures - but I am putting them on anyway! (This new phone takes great pictures, by the way!)


Have a great Friday! I am tired and going to B-E-D!

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...
