So today, kiddo and I braved the rain to get his new big boy car seat. He has finally stepped up from his portable Graco Snugride because he’s too damn long!!!(Long & Skinny like his daddy!!!) The in-laws were VERY generous and bought us the carseat as our early present for X-mas since it was quite the expense. We were planning on getting it taken care of aka buying it ourselves before the end of the month but we got it early! I’ve had it picked out for ages though! We got it at the same store our crib was bought at, our first infant car seat was bought, our high chair was bought and numerous other wonderful purchases for kiddo. They have the Kelty backpack carrier we want too (instead of getting at REI and they had much better service in answering our questions and letting us try them out with kiddo in them!) What I love about the store is the service there is awesome and they do certified car seat installation so you don’t have to take it to the fire dept. or police dept. to get inspected to make sure you installed it correctly. They show you how to use everything! Did I mention they have about a million diaper bags i’d love to have - if I could figure out why i’d spend $100+ on a diaper bag LOL. I think i’ll stick to my Skip Hop bag instead. Although, I am going to have my mom order me a bigger day trip diaper bag for a x mas present I think.

Butttt First I had to brave the rain to go to Macy’s to buy some slacks that fit me since I have a test tomorrow for one of the jobs and the interview for the other job on Wednesday. I’m excited for both opportunities and hope that I can at least get an offer from one of the two, both offers would be nice too!! I have managed to go in reverse on my weight big time and i’m thrilled. Now if I can keep it off with all the rain and us not walking in the evenings as much. I need Patrick to get our Elliptical upstairs into the extra storage room. (we have a guest room and well a temporary storage - someday another kids room upstairs that is going to currently be the workout room or well storage of misc. things room LOL). I have gone down to a size 7/8 again and it’s amazing to me…I look back and I wasn’t in all that great of shape when I got pregnant imo. All my nice suits and professional work clothes don’t fit me atm so I managed to find a nice black skirt and black slacks for the interview process. If I get the job i’ll be hitting up the outlet mall for more things. Since doing a little shopping at Macy’s (thanks to the gift card), i’ve fallen in love with Tommy Hilfiger, Liz Claiborne and Ralph Lauren clothing. My taste just got expensive *sighs* I love the way those 3 clothing designers fit me. The outlet stores near us have outlets for them, plus an Eddie Bauer outlet so I foresee a shopping trip in the future, when I land a job!

Well, going to crack out (THANKS DORANA!!!!!)

First - Let me show you the pic of guppyman’s new big boy seat. COWMOOFLAGE!!!! (name of the fabric style)
Britax Marathon (supposedly one of the safest seats on the market and I love love how easy they are to use!)

Oh oh and you have got to see kiddo’s new shoes!!! DWAGGUN Robeez!! How I love Robeez shoes!!! I wish I could buy up oodles of them!
