  I was woken up by my daughter stomping on the wall that connects to my room! Talk about a rude awakening. Ah the fun of the "big girl bed". Lumpy... I'm not a closet OC watcher, I'm a FULL-ON out of the closet OC watcher! I love that show, and I fully know it's a guilty pleasure. Another few favs: Six Feet Under (actually, ANY HBO show, it's just that Six Feet Under is on right now), Big Brother, Amazing Race , and coming up.. the Olympics. That will be a great time-filler! In the fall there will be lots of good new stuff too. I'm a HUGE CSI fan, so the New York one is coming and that'll be great. I'm sure there will be more diversions. Mia's watching Pooh right now at 7:15 AM on a Sunday, and I'm in here wiping the sleep out of my eyes.
Yesterday I went to the Carlsbad outlet mall with "Uncle Stu" who Mia had a complete blast with. She really is much easier now that she's friendly with our friends and can stand to be away from me for a short while. However, I didn't bring her stroller so much of the day was spent repeating myself like some kind of idiot.... "Mia, come here. Mia, come here. Don't touch that. Don't touch that. Don't touch that! I said come HERE! " She usually listens.. there was too much freedom yesterday I think. And Stuart, thank you for being so incredibly patient and amazing with her. For a change, I not only got clothes for Mia, I actually got some pants for myself! Then we did the Jamba Juice thing, and they made Mia her own mini smoothie cup and she sat at the table with us, lifting her glass and saying "CHEERS!
" while we clinked cups, just like her father showed her last time we had Jamba Juice. That kid is developing one hell of a memory. Just remembered... I've also been watching Last Comic Standing for a while, and I had a dream last night that I had to do a routine on stage. I could probably do it, but in the dream I didn't have enough prep time so I chickened out. Strange. Well, the "boss" calls.. time to make a waffle and get myself ready for a Starbucks trip & the Sunday Times puzzle. I may see Wendi & Jake later, we'll see.
