i’ve done something i never thought i’d do. something so embarrassing and shameful it’s hard for me to even admit.
i’ve gotten addicted to a soap opera. ::GASP::
i didn’t mean to. i would always use the one o’clock hour of the afternoon to do the dishes or some laundry. but day by day i found myself watching a little bit more of days of our lives (it’s on after the news at noon, so i leave the tv there while i do other stuff), and i started getting intrigued by the storylines. today i actually PAUSED it when i had to go switch the laundry over. it was then i knew i had a problem.
maybe it’s because the stories are so ridiculous that it’s funny. i mean that’s the joke, right? soap operas are dramatic to the point of hilarity. twins with different fathers? really? although there are plenty of times i get pretty lost (i’m fairly certain this shows been on since i was born, so i have a bit of catching up to do), but have watched enough to get the gist (jist? gyst? jyst? meh.) of it. i mean, i’m not going to watch any others, and i’m certainly not buying my subscription to soap opera digest anytime soon, but i’m not going to lie – i like days of our lives. so shoot me.
pass me the bon bons and buy me a housecoat for my birthday. i’m in this for the longhaul.

so yes, you’re in the right place (probably pretty obvious considering there are pictures of harper everywhere – not many kids named harper, unless of course you’re a name stealing mermaid). i just got an itch to change things up again. speaking of itch (and on a completely unrelated note), scot likes to make fun of me (in the most loving way possible) for interchangably using “itch” and “scratch”. i say “i have a scratch” if something itches, and that “i itched it” if i scratch the itch. wow. my head hurts. i think it’s time for bed. loooopy!
(don’t even get him started on the fact that i call scents “flavors”.)
not much to report today. harper is still sleeping through the night, so i think it’s safe at this point to say “she sleeps through the night”. i by no means live on a cloud where i think she will sleep through the night every day for the rest of her existance, but for now, she is doing great. i’m sure once teeth are part of the equation, or heaven forbid a sickness of somekind (get your swine flu away from my kid), she may revert back. we will just enjoy this time.
on my quest to further my babyweight loss, i’m starting to walk daily with harper. today was beautiful and she was talking to the birds and smiling the entire time. it was nice to get some fresh air and a ton of vitamin d for the both of us.
