Teatopia

pain, triple date, and My Space friends

I am in *SO* much pain! Pilates on Wednesday totally kicked my butt. My "core" is sore! She really worked my abs to the point of misery, but at least that means I actually am toning and tightening my flabby post-preggo tummy! I remember trying to do sit-ups and crunches 6 months ago and I could barely get off the floor! That's how out of shape I was. Now, I can manage an entire hour of pilates, and although my abs are still sore, I feel so good! Also, I've been going to stroller exercise on Friday mornings. Pushing a stroller while power walking for an hour or so is harder is actually a good workout. MF and I walk a lot in the afternoons, too. So, I figured after all this exercise, I deserved a reward, so I treated myself to a soft and chewey Reese's cup cookie at Barnes & Noble today. After seeing how loosely my pants were fitting today, it was all I could do not to eat 5 cookies, but I didn't. I remember trying on these pants after I had Olivia, and it was a no-go. They actually weren't fitting so well before I had her, so I either completely stretched them out with all the trying-on, or, I've lost weight. I choose to believe the latter. I don't do scales, so I can't verify, but I really think I've lost some inches! And my friends and family think so, too. Wahhhooooo for me! My size 8 jeans await me! (and I'll be thrilled to stay at an 8!)

This morning at stroller exercise, 2 of the moms were trying to convince me to leave Olivia with some moms from the group so I could go to a mom's night thing. I told them I wasn't comfortable, and they said, "that's just a new mom thing. She'd be fine. It's just you who feels uncomfortable." aka "it's all in your head. YOU'RE the one with the problem, not her." I could totally tell that's what they meant, and they totally disregarded the fact that Olivia has major stranger anxiety! Yes, I have that new-mom-who-can't-leave-her-baby problem, but I'm NOT going to leave her with someone I don't know! She has trouble making it for one hour in the church nursery! They actually brought up my "problem" a few times. I know I'm over-bearing and protective. I'm working on it, but leaving her with someone I don't even know? Not happening.

Ooooh! Oooooh! We're going on a date for Valentine's Day-- the three of us! Olivia's Christmas dress has red roses on it, which is PERFECT for V. day, so she's going to wear that along with the heart patterned tights I bought, and James is taking both his girls out. My mom offered to watch her the weekend before or after so we could go, but I'm fine with taking her. We can go out alone another night. Besides, she came with us last year, kind of. :-) I remember we were looking at the 4D ultrasound pics at dinner that we'd just had done a few days before.

Hey-- what's up with this number of friends thing on My Space? I swear, people I never talked to want to be my friend, and also people I didn't like! This girl who completely ruined my 14th birthday found me and wanted to be friends. WTF? Everyone knew that this guy was going to ask me out at my party, and she found out, interrupted my slow dance, and asked him out before he could ask me. Of course, as an 8th grade guy, he was flattered, said yes, and then forgot about me. They broke up before the weekend was over, but he never did ask me. I spent most of high school hating this girl (well, not hating, but the sight of her made me want to puke!) and she has the nerve to ask me to be friends? HA! I really think it's about numbers-- who has the most friends. Speaking of which, want to be my friend on My Space? *huge grin*

Seriously though, here's my page. I finally figured out how to change the colors and I'm so proud! My page is rockin'! Let's just say I'm not particularly computer savvy. Just don't mention my blog on my page. I so don't need ex boyfriends reading about my personal life, or the beeyotch who ruined my party!

Oh, and don't forget to check out my latest Olivia pics in my last entry. I'm off to wash Olivia's outfit for our dinner in Atlanta tomorrow night!
