Valentine's Day

A day to remember to that "life's too short, so love the one you got". **music reference anyone?**

I have two great Valentine's. They are some of the cutest boys ever. Then again, I'm pretty biased. Adam and I actually celebrated our Valentine's Day last night. Even though I was an uber grump most of the day and had to take a nap to be worth being around. And even still we ended up at odds with each other, but we were able to resolve them before going out to dinner. We went to Outback and it was mighty dead. I was a fan. I really hate going out to eat on the weekends because it's always so busy. I think Friday and Saturday make for a stupid date night. Perhaps this is because I work weekends as a waitress so I know that service isn't as top notch as it would be on Tuesday. Not that it's BAD but you're drink gets refilled faster and your food usually comes out faster and with less chances for it being messed up. I mean, I'm not necessarily at my best when I'm juggling a 6 top and 4 other tables. But that has a lot to do with how much each table needs and at what point they came in. I hate it when I get a new table when I have 3 tables wanting to get their checks and pay at the exact same time and one of those tables is paying cash and the other wants to split the bill.

Tangent over. I just like having days off during the week because I can get more done. I don't have to take a day off to run business errands like some. Though I'm sure my views will change once Vik is in school and weekends are our time together. So how about we end this with a picture of Vik on his first Valentine's Day? Sounds good to me!

My son is so mechanical and I love it. I'm not sure if this is common in most toddlers or boys or what but I love that he wants to "fix" things. He just got done using a screwdriver on something i had unscrewed to get the batteries out. He loves using remotes. He even reaches up to the toaster to press buttons on it.

We barely let this kid watch TV [I figure get away with it while I can] yet he'll turn on the TV grab the remote crawl up in the recliner and try to figure out how to watch it!! **He's currently doing this as I type**
I love him. As stressed as he makes me I couldn't imagine NOT spending my days with this crazy little guy.

Him and I are about to get even MORE time together too. My time at Gap is coming to an end. The store I work at is closing and after five years I think it's time we go our separate ways. So now I'm hunting for other jobs that are more career oriented for me. I am just tired of selling clothes. It's been a good run though. So here's to hoping for something better and it not taking me a year to get it! Also, here's to hoping to turning into Suzie Homemaker in the meantime ;)

Tis the Season for....

babies and engagements!! Majority of my news feed on the facebook has become filled with news on newly engaged couples and those planning weddings, as well as people who have just had children and those who are pregnant in varying stages of pregnancy. It's enough to give a girl wedding and baby fever!

I know, I know... tends to be a common topic for me. But what can I say? They are the two forces in my life that both pull on my strings to do and scare the crap out of me! I've reached a point that I want another child. Like, for real. Though I'm not at a point where I'm ready to try for one. I don't feel comfortable with another child out of wedlock since it'd be with the same guy, ya know? I also had to go on pregnancy medicaid for Viktor and feel it's not right of me to plan the pregnancy of a second child that I don't have health coverage for thus causing me to utilize pregnancy medicaid again. I know that that is what it's there for, for people like me who can't afford health coverage. But if I can't find a way to afford health coverage and do have free birth control where is it right of me to take some more? I'd feel better having to do it again in a situation where we accidentally got pregnant. Which is how Adam seems to think all people should get pregnant. If that's his mindset I'll have to "accidentally" go off my birth control so we can "accidentally" get pregnant. Hm. Yeah...

Onto everyone getting engaged/hitched. I think this will happen for me. Hopefully it happens before Vik goes off to kindergarten. It's really my only stipulation to Adam.... I want to share the last name of my son by the time he goes to school. It just makes things easier for everyone. I must be Vik's mom because we share the same complicated last name! Adam hates the idea of a wedding. Then again, Adam hates having his picture taken and being center attention like that. My ideal wedding would literally only involve those closest to us that we couldn't imagine NOT having at our wedding. So parents, siblings, grandparents, and best friends are a must. Once it's all tallied I'd be surprised if we surpass 20 guests. And the rings I tend to like float in the price range of $500. I do agree with Adam that it's just hard to justify the money on a party when we have a son to raise.
My ideal wedding? Outdoors, in fall, in the mountains. With the people we love the most. Then a simple and nice dinner/lunch/foodage of some sort. I'm flexible on all parts but fall. Fall is my fav. season!

Now to get other stuff done before my wild little man wakes up from his nap!
