Walking Pro

I finally got a video of Sophie waddling about the house. I know its bad lighting, for some reason this house sucks with lighting. But hey, she's still cute. :P

CashCrate

So who doesn't love to make a little extra money? When I have down time (normally when Sophie sleeps) I get on the computer and do nothing. I signed up for one of those websites that pays you to do surveys. I didn't really know what to do at first, but once I was told how to get going, I started making the money! :) In the past 2 weeks or so I have made $30 from just spending 30 minutes every few days doing this. Its easy. So I figured I would pass this on to anyone else who would be interested. Plus I get referral bonus. Tee hee. If you feel like giving it a try (and you should) just sign up by clicking on this link:

Too Cute

So today went fairly well. Sophie and I went to the craft store so I could go spending-happy. I love the craft store. :) Near the end she started getting crabby so I decided it was time to head home for a nap. Once we got home she absolutely REFUSED to nap. For nearly an hour I battled her, then gave a sigh of defeat and let her wear herself out. I was sitting in our rocking chair working on a cross-stitch. I saw her rubbing her eyes and new at any moment her sleepiness would take over and she would just hit the floor. She grabber her blanket and waddled over to me. She laid her head down on my lap and closed her eyes. My heart melted. :) Who could be frustrated with such a cute little girl? So I picked her up and we went to lay on the bed. The moment her head hit the mattress she grabbed hold of 2 of my fingers and fell right to sleep. It's moments like that, that keep me going on those rough days.

Christmas AND a Birthday?

Most of you know that Sophie has a cousin named Katie, who is 10 days older. These poor girls were cursed with birthdays within a week of Christmas. Lord knows they are going to get screwed over when it comes to gifts. Luckily, they won't figure it out for a few years. :P Tasha (Katie's mom) asked me what I plan to do for Sophie's birthday. Honestly... not sure. I know I want to do it in January, but when? I'm thinking the 3rd, since its the Saturday right after her real birthday. (for those of you who don't know its new years eve... and shame on you for not knowing) I suppose it won't really matter this year, since she won't even remember. I sure do need to come up with a plan though. So mark off the 3rd of January for Sophie's party. And you best be showing up with a gift. *points finger* You cheap asses know who you are.

Christmas Lists

As you all know, I am sneaky sneaky. :) Okay so not really, but I try to be. Denny is the WORST person when it comes to gifts. He doesn't see the reason in getting something, wrapping it (without a shitload of tape), and keeping it a surprise. This is the same man that will call someone up and ask them what they want for their birthday, because he is in the store and doens't want to try to find something they would like - when he could just ask them. Drives me nuts. He ruins EVERY gift. This Christmas... I SHALL PREVAIL! I am determined to get him gifts without him figuring out what they are before Christmas. This means I will have to use cash, becausd paper. Denny also ie he looks at the bank stuff everyday. I will have to hide them somewhere in the house, because he is a nosy little man. Do you see what I have to deal with? For some crazy reason I love this frustrating man to pieces. :) Sophie on the other hand will be easy to shop for. I already found a bunch of cute toys for her... even though she will probably be more interested in the boxes ansn't allowed to wrap Sophie's presents. You think I'm kidding? He puts gifts in either paper, or the bag he got from WalMart, then wraps that with about 500 layers of tape. Imagine a poor 1 year old trying to open that?
