Five on Friday - Thoughts for the Weekend

Ok, here are some random Friday thoughts for you about my upcoming weekend!
 
1) I am very much not looking forward to having to get up at 7 am on a Saturday to trot two kids all over creation for their soccer games, both of which are at 9 am, on two different sides of Lewisville. I thought this whole "soccer mom" thing would be cool, but alas, it's not my scene. I don't see myself making shirts of my kids' teams, or purchasing uber expensive coordinating folding chairs to match my kids' team colors. And I spend most of the time chasing after or entertaining a two year old, so I very rarely get to see a shot they make, if any.
 
 
Do any of you like being soccer moms?
 
2) This weekend (actually last weekend) marks the beginning of a long line of busy weekends for our family. The next time we will have a plan-free, kid-free weekend is in five weeks, hopefully we can do something fun for our anniversary! 3 years, baby!
 
 
Do any of you feel like you spend all of your time being busy?
 
3) I switched our Netflix subscription back to streaming only, instead of streaming+dvd, because I realized I have had the same movie for the last five months, not even kidding. And, I forgot to send it back in time, so we now proudly own The Ides of March. Maybe this weekend we will actually watch it and get our $15 worth we got charged for it for not returning it in time. Is it good? I mean, is it $15 good? Anyone interesting in checking it out from the Whitehead DVD library?
 
 
4) Hopefully, it will work out that my sister Brooke and I will get some adult, girl alone time this evening and go out to dinner. I need it, man! Kids are driving me bonkers. And I would like to go somewhere COOL, not just somewhere close and easy. Don't you ever feel like even when you go out places, it still is only places that are convenient? I feel like I need to inconvenience myself once in a while and go somewhere I've never been. Maybe in 16 years, when Avery moves out.
 
 
5) I was introduced to someone at our company today, the VP actually, as the "adobe expert." 15 years ago, if I thought I would ever know enough about Adobe to be introduced as an "expert," I think I would have jumped off a cliff. Especially since it sounds so boring, next to my 18 year old dream of being "married to someone rich so I didn't have to work." Yeah. Well, it's nice to be an expert at something!!

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!...

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...
