Every instance of heartbreak can teach us powerful lessons about creating the kind of love we really want.
Martha Beck, O Magazine, February 2003
today was another fun filled day with the baby! i woke up early for some odd reason, i truly was intending to get sleep. i went downstaires and peeked in on the baby. she was in her little playpen and i swear her eyes were closed but she smiled up at me. everytime she does that i get so happy. i picked her up and grandma gave her her very first taste of fruit loops. she only likes the purple ones.
katie got up and we all went in the living room. aunt maryann and uncle bruno came over with gifts of stuffed animals. uncle btuno even played with the baby. lol.
later on in the day i took katie and the baby pumpkin picking. i was very dissapointed. the place no longer had a petting zoo and it wasnt a pumpkin patch it was just you pick a pumpkin from the crates. but i got some cute pics. one of persephone on a really huge pumpkin. very cute. on the way home ozzy came on the radio and i told persephone how ozzy was the greatest ever! she laughed and katie said she was dancing to the song. yay!!!!
after that we tried party city to see about a costume for the baby. no such luck. they only had a select few for infants. she could be a cow, flower, or a pea in a pod. i put the kibosh on teh pea in a pod real quick.
we went home and then got some chicken teryaki. i told katie that i wanted to be the godmother of persephone. she said i dont know april do u think you could take care of her? i was like what??? hello??? i only work at a bloody day care. katie was like no i know you can take care of her but i mean can you quit the smoking and partying and stuff like that. i laughed. katie is under teh impression that i still go out drinking on a nightly basis. this is not the case. every now and again sure. i told her i would give up that to raise persephone. of course i would! i would rather that then the baby go to joeys mother. i would rather rip out my brainstem drag it to a four way intersection and skip rope with it then to see my niece with joeys mom. i think katie believes i would make a good keeper of persephone if god forbid anything happened to them.
i wasnt planning on going out tonite but deb called and i met her, josh, andy, leo, and some girl at outback. me and josh got on the topic of dragonlance and how they are changing the characters and all that. i was so happy to have someone to talk with me about it. no one else i know but khan reads the books. we had a long discussion about raistlin and caramon and how i felt about the new generation. it rocked.
now leo is the kid i thought was cute from debs party. yeah well did you know hes fuckin 18? no i didnt either. i am so going to jail some day. i keep picking them young. lol.
we were talking about mardi gras and andy said he was going to find me on a girls gone wild video. i know i turned 3 shades of red when leo said i would buy that video. lol. oh my!!!! it was a nice night out. i realized i havent really gone anywhere since thursday so i was really hyper. we had alot of laughs though. poor andy we were talking about persephone and andy was like wait you had a baby? i said omg what do i look pregnant do you think i am fat? he looked mortified. i was like thats it i am throwing you off the island. i kept jabbing at him with that all night. it rocked. lol.
after dinner i talked to margarita on the phone and then D. now its time to read my book and go to sleep. night night!
