Random Tuesday Thoughts

• I wish I could be a rich, super-popular, super-hip stay at home mom and host playdates-slash-mommy cocktail hour while my husband was at work every day.
• Alex needs a super-cool nanny or au-pair, whichever's more 'in', and most fun!
• Jason and I are going to be vampires for Halloween and take Alex trick or treating (most likely as a monkey because he's slightly obsessed with monkeys and so far it's the only costume he got really excited about when we showed him).
• We're also going to get as much candy as we can for him, but it's really for us since he only has three teeth so far and it's really bad for babies, SCORE!!
• Alex is at a new babysitter's today and I'm kinda nervous, but she seems really nice and has two kids for him to play with that he really seemed to like, and she fed him baby wafers and cheerios yesterday so he likes her already, but I'm really going to miss him today knowing he's not right across the street like he used to be :(
• Craigs List is pretty awesome.  Aside from the fact that it's sometimes a royal pain in the arse to get the time and location and all coordinated with people, so far we've found furniture, our house, a car (that kinda sucks, but worked out temporarily), and a babysitter five minutes from our house (which sounds bad, I know, but she seems normal and nice, and he likes her), so score!!!
• New babysitter cloth diapers, it's way cheaper and way better for the environment, I'm totally going to do that next time around, between babycenter people, her, and Lauren I'm convinced. 
• Made beef stew for dinner last night, it didn't turn out as I had planned, it was pretty good, but less gravy-y and more water-y based, so I didn't like it, but Jason took leftovers to work today (which he's told me before is the true test of his like for the dinners I make him, because if he doesn't like it he won't eat the leftovers, so I guess it wasn't that bad), but it still bugs me when I make something new and it's not GreAT, but oh well, I'm still new at this, right??
• Yesterday I witnessed a 19 year old girl who had to ask her mom how to cook eggs and how to start a washing machine, and she did it FOR her, so at least I was never that bad, right?
• I almost feel the need to watch all of my Grey's Anatomy (seasons 1-4) dvds all over again before watching season 5 for the first time just so it lasts longer and because I'm just that obsessed, am I crazy??
• Is it also crazy that I looove the name Addison for a girl, which I never even heard until watching GA and I've really seriously contemplated naming a daughter (if our next child's a girl) that, but think that people will think I'm crazy having two children with the same names as characters from my favorite tv show, which really does sound kinda crazy, but seriously, I just like the names :)
• I'm teaching myself how to crochet.  It's like 70% easier than knitting (which sucked!) but it would be a lot easier having someone to teach me, BUT I'll feel really good when I master it and I taught myself, completely I guess.  So far I can make a really cool little bracelet, I should sell those on etsy, they take about ten minutes to make, but it's kinda fun.  I'm sure though that as soon as I got an order for more than about ten (if that ever happened) I'd remove my ad-page thingy because that's too much demand.  hmm..
• I got the cutest picture of Alex and Jason in their Eagles gear for the game Sunday, but I think I might save it for Fun/ny Photo Friday, muahaaahaa (evil laugh).
• Why is it SOOOO difficult to find a template I like, and then if I find one I'll settle for it's near impossible to get it to actually work!  Oy.
• I love coffee, mmmmmm.
• Is there one main inventor of 'reality tv shows', that makes bookoo big bucks for inventing the whole idea or was it just an individual thing?  Like, was the creator of Real World Season 1 the first person or was it someone before them?  What about the inventor of infomercials, would they count?  I need to think of some weird random contraption idea that can make me a millionaire just for coming up with the idea.  Add that to my to do list, since it looks like I'll never win the lottery, besides, you don't really get famous for winning the lottery, but inventing something, imagine how many times you'd be googled after that, that's making history!! 
• OK, I'm good for now, this is fun, I'll be back next week too!  Great idea The UnMom!!
