I’m back! Since I last wrote, I have planned or attended about 5 parties. Okay, most of them were actually baby showers, which totally does not count as a party. But there was 1 party…brunch can be a party, right?
Here are some recent high points and low points to assess my current status:
1. The Scene: one of those fancy schmancy little grocery stores that has more flowers and overpriced produce than actual useful groceries. Classical music plays in the background.
Me: wearing Cool Baby in my brand new Ergo Baby Carrier that I got for my birthday, pretending I was going to buy something that cost more than a dollar.
Cool Baby: just chilling out.
I felt SO cool.
[+2 cool points]
2. The Scene: poolside with group of friends who have no babies or children.
Me: chatting, eating quiche, and swimming ALL afternoon.
Cool Baby: being strolled around by Cool Dad somewhere across town.
Glorious.
[+5 cool points already given]
3. The Scene: a lunch meeting for my part time job.
Me: talking to adults, using my brain, wearing a super cute dress and heels (guess I got a little excited).
Cool Baby: sleeping while Cool Dad drives him around town.
Me later: “wait, why did Ann Taylor put this tag inside the front neckline…(a few seconds pass)…Oh.”
Oops.
[-3 cool points]
4. The scene: Cool Baby’s bathtime in our (luckily) tiny bathroom.
Me: washing my hands a few feet away.
Cool Baby: stands up inside the inflatable baby tub and propels himself head-first out of the big tub. Praise God he was okay!
Cool Dad: “was it really necessary to wash your hands during bathtime?”
[-10 cool points]
Glad Baby is ok! I understand – you take any moment you can to wash up too!
So the dress was on backwards? Yikes. It’s funny. I’m sorry. But it is.
You all are definitely COOL!!!
I got stuck laughing about the Ann Taylor tag to keep reading! Still laughing!
Cool Baby sounds like my kinda kid. haha
+5 cool points for a witty post and a killer comeback. Mum’s the word, no longer! (Lame, I know.)
tam — yes, I had the dress on backwards. so I had been walking around and going to my meeting looking like I had a chest in the front and a chest in the back, if you know what I mean…I even went to target looking like this. wait a minute…even TRIED ON PANTS without removing the dress in the fitting room. in front of a mirror! oh my goodness, its worse than I thought.
courtney — good, we’re here to entertain! I think CD was sad that he missed such a sight.
rachel — thanks! haha =)
Very funny. Definitely a sophisticated adult. You’re cool for sharing.
