I miss my man....

So I've got lots of glorious stuff to discuss!
The beloved almost 2 year-old is slowly moving up my favorite person chain to above Michael and right below Beyaki (Like I don't even go that way but I even had to say DAMN when I saw that picture... And what kind of weave/lace front is that Indian remi, Asian supreme , or just plain fabulously fake! What ever it is she is doing IT)

Anyway, I'm just playing about the favorite person placements I love Beyonce way more than Michael! hee hee!

Anyway could the kid be any cooler.... Yea, she could be totally potty trained but I digress...

She is grade A Fantabulous!! I love her, love her, love her!!!

Currently she is totally in love with Alicia Keys' No One.

Do you know the power of a little baby sitting in a grocery cart singing:
"ooooo onnnnee nnoooo unnnnneeee uh nana way o whut I feeeellllliinnn"
That stuff could get this whole Iraq thing under control.... I mean folks would be like you know with cute kids like this is the world what is there to fight over!

I mean there were big construction working dudes in the line with us cracking up! And she could careless... She's like, "Whatever, Mommy, this is my jam!"

It was hilarious and really cute... Totally YouTube-able... but alas her mother is a lazy slub ole ME and I do not run around with a video camera or digital camera constantly strapped to my neck so you missed it... Bummer.

But if she continues on this track you can just call Michael and I, Matthew and Tina Knowles and she can be our own little "Destiny's Child!" You can say " NO, NO, NO" if you want to but Mommy got "Bills, Bills, Bills" and she could put in on that!

I'm just saying...

Moving right along....So, Michael left me y'all!

Not for real for real , But for like a week.... but he is in DC at some fabulous hotel having the time of his life at his union building workshops and the like... Its like totally a big deal that he got picked, huge honor, something like only 20 people in the nation get chosen every two years, it will allow him to be the best union builder he can be, help save jobs, help hundreds of families, blah, blah, blah....
All that is well and good but.....

Who the F**k is going to take the garbage out?

Soooooo, I acted like an ass about it initially.....

I'm allowed( but just a little teeny bit)

Thankfully, I have gotten myself together enough to be happy about the fact that he got this big opportunity and that he gets sometime to himself ,to learn, relax, and chill! Lord knows, that 60 hour work week working man deserves it!

But I miss my man! I love him... He's funny and he makes me laugh and smile, and is particularly helpful in keeping my ridonkulos anxiety in check and he has a cute booty on top of all that! Not to mention his garbage taking abilities.

This is the longest we've been apart since we've been together... I was having all kids of panic attacks about it but then I just decided to do what Michael is always telling me to do:

"Chill the F**k Out!"

I have stopped worrying about the 8 million things that could go wrong! And I am now solely focused on the 8 billion things that will go right! It has made this whole thing a lot more pleasant...

I stopped freaking out about how bored the kid and I would be in the house and came up with all kind of fun activities for us to do... Last night, We had a fabulous tickle fight, the legend of which will be told for years to come.

There are some serious benefits to a week away from the hubby...

Michael is allergic to seafood...
The kid and I have been having a full blown "SHIRMPAGANZA!"
We just had shrimp fried rice, sweet and crispy shrimp, shrimp egg rolls, catfish fillets, shrimp toast and jam, and shrimp juice.

OK maybe not all that but we have been getting to know seafood intimately!

Michael is a blanket and bed space hogger...
Yesterday, slept in a total L shape right in the middle of the bed! And I used every single pillow on the bed!!!(insert evil laugh here and me screeching,"I am the PILLLLLOOOOWWW PRINNCCESSS!!!)

Michael is totally disgusted with my secret love of all things reality TV.
Its been a reality TV buffet all up and through this beeeootchh! Yesterday I watched the Biggest Loser, Real(llyFAKE) Housewives of the OC, Project Runway, Celebrity Apprentice, and American Gladiators, and the MTV gauntlet thing!! I am not ashamed.

Obviously, I'm over here trying to make lemonade out of lemons.

But it has been a fun flirting with him over the phone and IM. And I cannot wait to see him on Friday!!! Its like we had a long distance romance for a week! Its is such a nice little excitement to be like only 5 more days, only 2 more days.... I'm going to smother him in loving when he comes home!!

Stay fierce, fabulous, and smothered in lovin,

Senam
