binge blogging?

rachelle called me a binge blogger. and perhaps i am. but really, i've just been incredibly busy lately and overwhelmed to say the least. i'm disgusted that someone took my kids tricycle. i'm annoyed that my 32% of my neighborhood is not paying into our association dues. i'm irritated that the bridge on my street is out and i have to make a five-minute detour to go anywhere. i'm furious that the scheduled completion date is november 1st. i'm grossed out that our guests will probably be able to smell the landfill from the heat on sunday. my children are being monkeys. i've over-committed myself lately and i'm trying to cut back. i'm trying to get ready for ky's party and i can't even start shopping for that until thursday, which is not like me at all. i just don't have time. needless to say, blogging has fallen to the wayside.

what i am happy about: breast feeding allows me to eat at least one box of poptarts, a chocolate bar, a bag of chips, several glasses of wine, at least 15 decent meals EVERY WEEK and still weigh less than i did in high school. good job, pump. you can stick around a little longer. i'm enjoying this whole strapless-top lifestyle.

"mom! come see my hippopotamus!"

Reason #1 why I would not be able to handle living in a subdivision with association dues! :)
Hope your week gets better!
Tell Ky that is exactly how I would make a hippo too!

we aren't in a sub, it's still an old school neighborhood where "association dues" are still referred to as "taxes" and I'm ok with that.

first, we have taxes, too, and most likely more than all of you combined. yes, it's costly to live in the ghetto.
second, i did almost all of the shopping today, so i feel much better.
third, i ate an entire perugina chocolate bar for lunch. yes. all 270 FAT calories. if i complain about cellulite next summer, please remind me of that mistake.

dude you're breastfeeding you can have like 2 of those bars.

Meagan Vanover, CWP said...

no, no, no. fat calories and regular calories are two very different things. breastfeeding or not, i've still had enough fat calories to last me all week.

the huge pot of spaghetti on the other hand...

fat calories food calories... bah. i say eat the darn chocolate.

course this is what i say now. try me next year when im crying cuz i can't shake the breastfeeding diet and my regular metabolism has returned.

I'm with Rachelle on eating whatever you want. Of course, of the three of us, I'm the only one who never made it back to pre-pregnancy-size clothes before getting pregnant again, so maybe I'm not the best one to ask...

Nicol said...

okay, so meagan, remind me again why we are looking at houses in your sub? :) just kidding.

Meagan Vanover, CWP said...

because i am here, and believe it or not, i do like it here. i like to hang out with my neighbors. i like having people in our same stage of life. i like city water. our taxes are rolled in with the mortgage, so i never notice them. it's actually not that bad. i just like to say that because i think i am funny.

you should move here.

did i mention the streets are paved with gold?

we are starting the 60-day selling process this weekend. So hopefully with any luck we will be moving in the begining of September.

So to any one out there... we are selling our condo for 15K less than what we owe for the next 60 days, get it while its hot!
