Every morning, while I get dressed and put on makeup, the monkey does this:

Ahhh….A love of reading at such an early age! Despite the mess, I love it when she hangs out in her “book nook” every morning. She’s safe there, self-educating, and I can do my thang…for a good, like, 20 minutes!

In other news…. Today, I took the plunge and bought my first pair of jeans since the monkey was born. They’re GAP, of course….I figured I’d start basic.

You thiiiiiink I’m telling you my size. As if! Let’s just say I’m no longer the size 0 I once was. But I’m [#] sizes happier than I was then, and I’m feeling très healthy from the detox, which, by the way, I have now successfully completed! Can I get a woo woo!?!

So, I used the word “sycophant” at Cheaty’s Celebrity Gossip. Check it!

[Please disregard the exposed outlets in the photos. I'm definitely aware of them. The monkey hasn't noticed them, and she's never left unwatched for more than, like, a few seconds....In any case, we've since put outlet covers on them because she's a cheaty little thing....]
