barrel of monkeys

i have all this fluff stuff to talk about and also 'deeper' shit too. so consider this a bit bi-polar (but not in the psychological sense, eh?)

1) d got me these cute crocs last night when we were out. and just now, when i looked them up online to find a picture, i discovered they're called 'celeste canvas' which is sort of sweet and meant to be. i guess if i was a shoe this would be me? top that asshats!



2) did i mention that tomorrow is my 27th birthday? i'm not one of those people who is scared of thirty, at all. i'm finally getting to be the age that i feel like i am. like, grownup-y. so, 'woo' that. my twenties have been eh, up and down. i'm banking on the fact that my 30's are gonna be where it's at, in a sort of beck where it's at way.

3) lorenzo is screaming like a crazed chimpanzee from the bathroom.

4) i enrolled miss p in kindergarten this afternoon. they didn't even bat an eye at her vaccine & tb test waivers. (yes, i'm one of those moms.) we'll hopefully know by april if we got into the charter school or if we'll be on the waiting list. i can't believe my little girl is starting big girl school. now it's time to boot 'renzo the terrible off to preschool.

5) so yeah, yesterday. *whew* after immense immense buildup our divorce papers have finally been signed BY BOTH OF US. wow, i know, right? what a flippin' anti-climax. either i just don't care anymore or it hasn't sunk in yet. we met yesterday at his lawyer's office, me with the kids in tow (no viable alternatives). and with 'renzo on bk's lap and parker on mine, we signed our papers with very little drama. his lawyer composed a quick letter to my lawyer, sealed everything up and handed it to me to deliver, which i did - immediately. the receptionist took it from me and said she'd mail me a copy when it was processed. and just like that, it's out of my/our hands. on it's way to being a done deal. no six month waiting period as he filed in april 2007. like i said, i'm feeling relatively little about it. i think i don't believe it yet.
