I'm so excited! I snagged me a stroller! I belong to a great mom's group, and I asked on our msg board if anyone had a jogging stroller they'd sell, and someone replied that they've GIVE one to me. YIPPPPEEEE! It's not new, but I don't care. Money is tight and I'm thrilled to have it at all! I'm picking it up on Thursday. I'm trying to think of a small token of appreciation. Flowers maybe? She's also in the process of moving, so maybe a housewarming gift of some sort? It's just so nice of her. She's made me so very happy! It's hard pushing my Graco when I walk on trails.
I had a dentist appt this morning, and I can still taste blood in my mouth. I have never had someone clean my teeth with such aggression. She said they weren't even that bad, she just was rough. My whole mouth hurts and my gums are so swollen and red! :-(
This afternoon, I ventured out to our new Super Walmart. I seldom go to Walmart because the old one here always smelled funny and was so crowded, but this one is brand new and I was surprisingly impressed. They had lots of organic produce for making baby food, and I also bought some other things we needed. The prices are great! After I got back, I caught up on episodes of Grey's. I asked this a few days back, but no one answered . . . does anyone else think that McSteamy (Mark Sloan) looks like Leo DiCaprio? He sure is hot!
P.S. Thanks for your comments about my friend. I didn't mean to imply that woman with fertility/miscarriage issues are resentful of those with kids, I just wouldn't want seeing my baby to cause her pain over hers. Does that make sense? Please pray for her. I tried to get her today and couldn't. I'm worried and I hope she's ok.
I like McSteamy purely because he used to be on Charmed, and I LOVED that show. It reminds me of being pregnant because I watched every.single.episod while on bed rest! ahhh. YAY for the jogging stroller!
Posted by: girl from florida at February 20, 2007 10:50 PMYAY on getting your stroller~I'm sure that'll make a huge difference w/walking :) Sorry about your dental fiasco & hope your mouth feels better soon! I go to our Super WalMart to grocery/miscellaneous shop & LOVE it! The prices are fairly reasonable too! I don't watch Grey's~I know, *GASP*! I do think Leo DiCaprio is hot though ;)

Posted by: Ani at February 21, 2007 10:55 AMAwesome stroller deal.
McSteamy's hooooootttt!!! Leo's always looked too much like a little boy to me.
We have a new Wal-Mart close to us...it's so much nicer than the old one...and the baby food is way cheaper than Target.
Posted by: Jodie at February 21, 2007 11:47 AMOoops. I got these last 2 post mixed up. I commented on the last one about this one. :) Call me brain dead.
Ani had a *great* idea. You could make them a dinner (that they could freeze, perhaps, or enjoy that evening). Or ... maybe a gift card to Home Depot or something? Sorry about your mouth. I'm going to the dentist SOON ... ugh, I'm chicken. :(
Posted by: Lisanne at February 21, 2007 02:47 PMThat's great about the stroller. If she's moving you should think of maybe a gift card to somewhere that sells house stuff...maybe bed, bath, & beyond or linens & things....or of course, your new Super Walmart.
