Three-thirty am is not morning
November 2, 2008
That was the time I had to get up yesterday morning in order to catch a flight to Chicago. I wasn’t entirely sure if I should actually go to bed Friday night or just stay awake.
In the end I went to bed and slept for probably an hour before bolting upright at 2:30am panicked that I had overslept. I had not.
Susan and I needed to be in Chicago for work with utterball-Bay on Monday and so we decided to force Melissa to come along and make a weekend out of it. It was also Danielle’s birthday yesterday and we went to her house to celebrate.
Her children are even more adorable in person. And I was tempted to steal Max and bring him home in my suitcase. Until I realized I already have a three year old at home and a second one might kill me. There is only so much that cuteness can make up for.
Taking photos in the mirror is not easy. No, it really isn’t. Not that it stops us.
By the time we got back to our hotel and fell into bed I had been up almost 24 hours and was exhausted. FYI, drinking copious amounts of wine does not help one stay awake either.
Up next, a recap of our visit to the boob lady at Nordstrom’s. Where I asked her if she wanted to look at my boobs and she said no. AWKWARD.

November 2nd, 2008 at 3:22 pmOh my, the bit about Nordstrom’s was so funny, I almost started a coughing fit!!!
November 2nd, 2008 at 5:33 pmI’m so happy to see you having so much fun with your friends. And maybe a LITTLE bit jealous because I work from my bedroom and have no friends.
ha.

She said NO!?! Whatever! If you were willing to show ‘em off, the least she could do was pretend to be delighted to see ‘em…is that not what they pay her good money for??
November 2nd, 2008 at 9:24 pmThe next time you’re in Chicago you should sweep Jeannie off her feet and come to my house for copious amounts of wine and food that will be entirely blog-worthy.
November 2nd, 2008 at 10:43 pmthe picture of the three of you in the kitchen looks like a magazine shot for an ad. it makes me want to drink wine or buy new kitchen cabinets, i haven’t decided which.
November 2nd, 2008 at 11:21 pmHmmmm…boob lady, eh? Sounds interesting.
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:19 amYou are totally hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.
November 3rd, 2008 at 2:10 amwow look at her kitchen!
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:53 amI believe I have been in that very house.
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:40 amHA HA HAHA HAAAAA! The problem is that you didn’t ask a boob GUY!!
November 3rd, 2008 at 4:15 pmDid you tell her you’ve had seven kids? That may have swayed her decision…curiosity, you know. Looking forward to the retelling!
Also, I need to see more photos of that kitchen in the photo. I want to change our table-height peninsula to a counter height one and I’m fascinated that her doors and drawers on the peninsula cabinets are on the ‘outside’ of the kitchen.
November 4th, 2008 at 12:28 amAh, can’t wait for the boob story (only you, Chris)!
My hubby gets up at 3:15 for work every day. Which means we go night-nights about 2 minutes after our daughter does, no grown-up time alone!
