this week

downs:
-overcooking Tyler's father's day ham until it looked like an unidentified grey gelatin blob. it's a gift, really, my ability to ruin food so completely.
-Ruby deciding that a swift slap to the face is a fantastic communication tool.
-almost being sideswiped by a pt cruiser on the freeway. minivans and pt cruisers... just sayin'.
-Ruby's latest sleep strike. she's sleeping like a newborn again and it's been rough.
-the rude people who refuse to say "hi" to my baby when she is waving and saying "hi" to them. the poor thing just sits there waving and staring after them expectantly. it makes me want to "accidentally" run in to their heels with my shopping cart or stroller.
-the day Roo fell down the stairs twice (there are 4 stairs dividing the kitchen and living room. she usually does very well on them, but she had gone without a nap which made her as coordinated as a drunk. plus, to be fair, the first fall was due to a little pushing incident during a play date... either way, she has a nasty bruise on her head. and i have a broken heart.)

ups:
-going to a farm and watching Ruby snort at the pigs. those guys stink like crazy, but it was worth it to see her get excited and recognize the animals (at least for a few minutes)
-lone star taqueria. those tacos blew my mind.
-the way Roo squeals and claps her hands as soon as she sees her friends for a play date.
-finding my tripod after being without it for years. like finding buried treasure.
-when the hubs finally agrees to let me buy him new clothes. it's been getting ridiculous. he still hasn't let me get him new shoes, but i'm wearing him down. baby steps...
-watching Roo being social. she waves and says "HIIIII!!!" to everyone she passes. it's adorable (even if they don't respond)
-ice cream sandwiches.
