Last Christmas...

Last weekend we visited my sister and family in KC and had our final Christmas, or maybe you would call it the first Christmas of 2012. Either way, a good time was had by all. We haven't seen them since before Thanksgiving, and so it was nice to catch up and see the kids. Harper also had fun playing with her cool cousins, their dog, and their two cats. Her biggest phrase of the weekend was to Brady, their golden retriever...Go Away! Poor dog just wanted to lick her face.  Abbey stayed at the kennel, which was a good thing because I don't think we'd have had room for one more item in the car. We stopped in St Jo on the way down to get some dinner...and wouldn't you know it, there was a Chicfila, Chipotle, and Panda Express all at the same intersection of the mall. We of course chose Chicfila, but man, if we lived in St Jo...we'd be poor, fat and in heaven lol.

On the book news, I am still working on A Lion Among Men; this last weekend really set me behind, and I am hoping to sit down and finish it today on my afternoon off. I get the feeling I'll be distracted by one thing or another, but right now it seems like a good plan.

Have a tentative girls night plan tomorrow, hope it still happens.  We'll be doing dinner, then off to Paint Yourself Silly for some artistic expression, then end the night chatting at Ivanna Cone until they kick us out.  And maybe a stop into Indigo Books for some perusing of their awesome inventory.  Yay for girls' nights!

Here are some pics from the weekend in KC.  Please note, my sister and I exchange Hanukkah gifts, although we are now Jewish. We just enjoy celebrating other holidays, so there's that disclaimer to explain some of the pictures you see. Happy Thursday!




My shirt says, Lets put the Han back in Hanukkah, it's a pic of Han Solo. Love it!

Good Bye First Trimester!

I can't believe that I will be 12 weeks prego next week, it has gone by so fast. It's hellped that I haven't have any sickness, which I am very grateful for. I've kind of have the opposite; I am hungry but nothing sounds appetizing, so as a result I've lost weight. I got a nice little lecture from my dr last week, so I've been trying to eat more, and I think after this weekend, I have to have put on at least 10 pounds! Friday night we had Applebees where we polished off mozzarella sticks, I had a steak and potatoes and veggies, all so tasty! Then today we had Hu Hot for lunch, and just had McDonalds for dinner. I didn't say it was healthy, but it was definitely fattening! I seem to be getting my energy back, there for a while all I wanted to do was sleep. I could still sleep all day, but today I noticed I wanted to do some chores, so I guess that's an improvement. I've also had some lower back pain, which seems to be worse when I sit, which ...

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

What the heck's a woombie?

So, today's post is dedicated to the freaky baby items I've found online (we are not expecting, but are expecting to be expecting sometime this year, so I wanted to check out the market on baby stuff). I'm not saying this stuff isn't useful, it may very well be the best item there is, but I think they're weird. And so, in no particular order... * Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: it's a doctor invented and doctor recommended snot sucker. An electric snot sucker. With built in filters. My question is, who is changing said filters? Not me, thank you. Then again, with the manual ones I bet you have to empty them somehow. Eww. Also, this doesn't actually go into their nose, it sucks it all out from the base of the nostril--that sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention the suction is coming from your mouth? * Zaky --the tag line? It's like leaving a part of you with your baby. Yeah, if you have big creepy muppet hands maybe. I think the picture says enough about t...
