Note(s) to Self

Dear Self,

If you've trained your baby to go to sleep without being rocked or nursed, don't be surprised if she refuses to go to sleep on an airplane, even if it is 1am.

Dear Self,

It's only 8 pounds. And she'll only be a baby for a few more months. Hang in there and keep nursing! You'll lose it soon enough.

Dear Self,

No, you can not have any more dark chocolate today.

Dear Self,

It is time to mop the wood floor. NO MORE EXCUSES. Just do it. You have company coming, for goodness sake.

Dear Self,

When you write things down on the calendar, you remember to do them. And you don't double-book yourself. And life just runs more smoothly. So write things down. Your memory isn't what it used to be.

Dear Self,

Why do you keep forgetting to throw a couple of handfuls of spinach into your smoothies? Is it because you secretly think they will taste bad?

Dear Self,

Yes, you should get your hair highlighted. You cut everyone else's hair in the family (Kate's looks especially cute!) so you deserve a bonus.

Dear Self,

Please, please, please make an appointment to get the van's automatic door fixed. It's been almost three months and it's getting ridiculous. Not to mention harder and harder to open.

Dear Self,

Maybe just a tiny bit more dark chocolate. Because you did the ironing today and you were nice to the kids.

Dear Self,

You should blog more. Especially about your Vegas trip. And maybe something thoughtful about womanhood. Nah, maybe not that last one.

Dear Self,

Go to bed. Now. Well, right after you make lunches, feed the baby, and have a bit of chocolate.

Why were you on a plane at 1 a.m.?

You should definitely blog about your trip to Vegas and how much fun it was to see long lost friends. You should also post that really cute picture that we took--oh, wait. We didn't even take one picture. Drat! . . . It was great to see you guys.

Love you blog. It is so REAL. And yes you should blog about your Vegas trip! Thanks for your sweet words on my blog, I really appreciate it. And yes Glee is just as racy as ever, perhaps more so, I just can't help myself (but you might not want to watch it). Two boys just kissed last week.

Yep!! It was crazy to see you in Vegas on the big screen holding up your cute little baby. Sorry we never connected in person. Go Cougars!
