Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement in response to yesterday’s post. I TOTALLY LOVE YOU SO MUCH! MMMWAH!!!
Since I wrote a total TOME yesterday, I’m spent. But, I still — as usual — have tons to say. Check it.
1. I love my new shampoo…
I’ve NEVER used a 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner before. And, I’ve never used Pantene before. But, I’m LOVING this. My hair is totally “smooth & sleek” — just like it says on the bottle. And, it takes half the time for me to wash it! Niiice.
2. Oh, I can’t live without this:
Try it. It’ll change your life — even if you’re a guy. As my aesthetician says, our face is like the Earth’s soil. It MUST BE WATERED REGULARLY, or it will dry up and crack! (Yikes, my poor plant totally needs water asap….)
3. Why does this GUY insist on trying to swap spit with me at 5am every morning?
MINDEN!!! It has to stop.
4. I’m kind of on a macrobiotic kick. It’s helping with the pre-partum depression. At least for dinner. Rice and chickpeas with tamari sauce. I know, sounds ew. But, I can’t get enough of it. Must be an iron thing or something. Try it, you’ll love it.
5. The monkey has started swearing. She now says “Oh sh-t” — often. Why? Because her daddy said it twice in a row the other day, and she repeated it. Now, she says it morning (first thing…in her crib), noon, and night. Thanks a lot, JOSH!
6. REVENGE: I’m teaching the monkey to say a complete new sentence:
“MY. DADDY. IS. A. NUT. BALL.”
She doesn’t quite have “nutball” yet, but we’re working on it.
7. I want to hear someone else bitch and moan about pregnancy symptoms, so I went out and bought this book:
Bring it on, Rebecca Eckler haters, BRING IT OHN! I’m gonna LOVE THIS BOOK.

Hi Haley!
I happened upon your celebrity gossip blog tonight (a girl after my own heart!) which led me here. Then I realized you’re the hotty mommy blogger that I’ve been neck-and-neck with in the Bloggers Choice Award! *waving hello*
LOVE both your blogs and will be a regular reader now!
As for the ignoramous who left you that nasty comment….there’s always someone in the bunch that has nothing better to do than whine. Always. Everywhere.
For the record, I had TONS of problems conceiving my second child and I never would’ve considered someone ungrateful for complaining about morning sickness or depression. Geez!
Also, I just had surgery for endometriosis that has made me sterile. Even though my husband didn’t want anymore children, it’s broken my heart to know that it’s not possible anymore and that chapter of my life is over.
And yet, once again, I would NEVER think you were ungrateful for venting about pregnancy symptoms. I don’t think any normal human being would.
I’m so happy for you that you’re so blessed to have a little one growing under your heart, and I’m adding you to my prayers that your symptoms will ease and that things will improve for you!
And good luck in the awards!

Yeah, every so often my munchkin still says “J*sus” (and it’s sounding less and less like cheeses, making it hard to avoid the death eye from my wife)
Multi-tasking Mommy said, April 20th, 2007 at 7:16 am
Hey, how does that Evian spray work? When do you use it? Does it not cause makeup to run?
And yes, SciFi Dad is right! Death look, all the way!!!!

as we all know, I LOVE LOVE LOVED Knocked Up! It made me laugh all the way through. I hope you like it. So funny (did you want me to just the link to this over to all those “meanies”??? it would save them the bother of, you know, actually seeking you out! I’m kidding I won’t).

clinique makes a spray that’s even better than the evian one. i highly recommend. it’s amazing if you put make-up on in the morning and are going out at night…you just spray and your make-up completely comes back to life.
the clinique fashion show lady told me all about it. i bought it and i’m obsessed with it!
ali said, April 20th, 2007 at 8:34 am
oh…and when you’ve finished knocked up (you know you are, like, 4 years late on that one) i have a copy of Wiped! if you want to borrow it.
drea said, April 20th, 2007 at 10:12 am
im in need of new shampoo. ill try that one!
lauraldawn said, April 20th, 2007 at 10:41 am
PS Not to totally steal your thunder about the shampoo, but my hairstylist told me that 2 in 1′s can damage your hair after awhile – so maybe don’t use it forever. (though I’m a big pantene fan).

I’ve been using Dove 2-in-1 forEVER, & love it! The Monkey – TOO cute! The want to be like the adults…I still think it’s funny when the grandson lets slip a swear word – one of the perks of being grandma instead of mom.
Teena said, April 20th, 2007 at 3:56 pm
I love Pantene shampoos … but I need the more conditioning that the two-in-one have to offer.
One of my kitties wakes me up by licking my hair. Sounds cute but it’s freakin’ annoying!!! Lemme sleep and stop trying to groom me, Morgan!
I read “Knocked Up” and enjoyed it. Maybe this will be a book we finally both like
My nine assignments are finished for my class tomorrow. Yay! I’m baaaaaaack!! Did you miss me??!!!
Take care, Girl!

Yeah that shampoo is totally fantastic.
I am guessing that and the evian spray (also fab) is why Minden is all over you hot mamma.
brown rice? I’ll have to get some of that sauce. I love rice and chickpeas.

Swear words um yeah been there done that. Driving on the highway one day Papoosie Girl pipes up, “what the f8$k is that smell?” Silence from the front…uh pardon honey. Repeats. Um, (talking fast) do you mean that “stinky” smell, well it is the truck ahead of us, yada, yada, yada. She never said it again, but we sure haven’t forgotten it either.
Rosebud says, “Oh Jesus” as well. Guilty. Since I stay home I can’t believe she doesn’t say worse things!
Glad the diet is helping a bit. Take care!

Found your blog today, and I thought I’d mention how much I like your template! Did you create it yourself?
Jill said, April 21st, 2007 at 7:26 pm
And what does that Evian thing does that is so special??? Washing your face won’t do the same thing??
What are you gonna do with Josh?? And yup, kids do tend to catch those things really fast!!
Rebecca said, April 22nd, 2007 at 8:14 am
I’ll try out that shampoo, too – my current one is NOT doing its job.
My cats have never thought to lick my face. Perhaps they do not love me.
Tricia said, April 22nd, 2007 at 9:23 pm
We do have too much in common! lol! I love Pantene two in one shampoos and I never like 2 in 1s. Funny!
I’ve got Knocked Up! Funny, but totally self indulgent. Tho it made me feel better whenever I fell off the healthy eating bandwagon when I was preggers. You’ll see what I mean when you’ve finished it. Hope all is well there!

First time I used that shampoo , I LOVED it..So I bought more and more and kept using it. I did think it made my hair feel so much softer than before with other shampoos.
But it got greasier and greasier and I had to wash it more often all the time. Up to the point that I had just freshly washed my hair and dried it and my dad came by and asked me “geez when are you going to wash your hair? It’s so greasy!”.
I actually got treatment from a dermatologist to get it back to normal.
Afterwards I also heard , as has been stated in the comments before, that 2-in-1 shampoo’s can damage your hair. It’s excellent if you are in a rush or on vacation with not much bottles to take along. But it is not good to use for a long period. Shampoo is the only thing that can get the extra layer of conditionner off your hair, clean it. And afterwards you can re-apply conditionner.
But in a 2-in-1 you are trying to take it off, clean while already adding new conditionner on top of it. So you are doing a good job in neither of that.
Anyway, it maybe depends on the type of hair, whether you can use it for a long time or not but I will definately never use a 2-in-1 again . Regardless the fantastic feeling of this shampoo at first!!
