Its been one week . . .

Funny, I heard that song on the radio this morning. After seeing that I hadn't blogged since last week, I thought I should put a little something out here, or at least ramble for a minute or two.
Alaina was off to daycare in her first pair of hard-soled shoes today. She's having a little trouble getting around because the shoes grab the carpet mroe than her robeez, which is why we stayed with robeez for so long, but we like to go walk the mall and she keeps sliding on the smooth tile and landing on her bottom, so it was time to upgrade. We tried them on last night with only a little bribery, "If you come and try your new shoes on, I'll turn on bear (The jungle book) for a while." THis worked out well because while she watched bear, I clipped her nails with minimal fuss, a rare thing in our world.
She is learning words so quickly, each new one is starting to lose a little magic. The wonder is still there, but I have to clap really hard to make it shine as bright as the first words she said. It makes me a little sad, but the joy has just moved to another area, linking words together for phrases. She likes to wave bye bye to dada and the other day she said "Bye-bye Dada" out loud, It was so precious.
Anyway, my digestion is still a little touch and go, I went in for the ultrasound of my gallbladder, and everything seemed to look normal. So Fatkins here I come, I've started to watch a bit more of what I eat, yogurt with granoal for breakfast, unleaded coffee instead of leaded and salads from the cafeteria, I've eaten at the cafeteria more this last week that I have since I started working here. Yep that's right, I've eaten at my office cafeteria less than 5 times in two years, excluding donuts. When you live a block from work, its nice to go home and sit in the quiet for a while.
And just a little snippet of humor, a few months ago Jeff and I pulled up to an ATM and he was going to get cash. When he entered the mail manu, he was prompted to withdraw a quick $60. I was a bit confused because when I login, I am only prompted to get a quick $40. I got to thinking, well how sexist of the bank to prompt my husband for a larger amount! is it because the account was originally in his name? Does he spend more with his card than I do mine? Really, how could they assume such a foolish thing as to what cash we need! I told Jeff I thought that was silly and he looked at me like I was nuts. Turns out if you pay attention when you login to our online banking, you can set the Quick draw amount that is displayed on you ATM intro screen. Hmmm. And here I thought machines were becoming sexist!
