thursday 13: week 15 i'm weeks and a day late edition

update edition

1) i traded in the wrangler: after 11 vaguely inconvenient and exciting years i got a newish car. that's right ladies and mike, despite having bought a 2007 subaru impreza outback sport i am still mostly not a lesbian. mostly. kids' reactions included: oh my gosh! mama, it has windows made of glass! i think the trunk is the most important part of a car...and now we have one! when can we listen to MY iPod through the stereo!?

2) i am on day six of the fancy panty experiment (aka: the no more granny panty manifesto). don't bother googling it; i made it up. after a sideways glance from danny prompted me to joke, "wha? you lookin' at mah granny panties?" i realized that erm, i've pretty much been wearing boring cotton FULL coverage undies for a while now. i'm not slipping down that slope again. ;) so far so good.

3) Parker turned SEVEN. and lost one of her top front teeth. and we took her to the snow with riley-kate. and OHMYGOD she turned SEVEN.

4) also on the parker front i've decided to take her off of wheat which has basically become off of gluten. i was allergic to wheat, eggs, and corn as a child and i've started to suspect that parker has allergies too. after three weeks gluten free her behavior has improved SO much. and since her best friend has celiac disease she's oddly excited about her new diet!

5) omg, we're going to belize in 49 days! danny, the kids, heather, judi, my dad and i will be lazing around in the sun for ten days! i haven't been on vacation since we went to sicily when parker was under two! omg! omg!

6) i went back to no-poo about two weeks ago. my hair is happier.

7) omg, go see black swan.

8)

9) jen quit. and she's being awful about it. i guess we aren't friends any more. she unfriended me on facebook. which honestly in this day and age is the most hurtful thing you can do to a person.

10) bone scan, EKG, ECHO, mri mammogram in the next two weeks. yay for new Rx of xanax. results to follow.

11) did someone say it's almost my biiiirrrrthday? why YES. it's my favorite holiday of the year. unfortunately it falls on superbowl sunday. AGAIN.

12) i signed up for the new safeway savings program "just for u." basically you can "clip" coupons online and they go on your club card. these are above and beyond the club card savings you find in store. today i spent $91.29 and saved $51.16 with my club card and an additional $14.01 with jfu. plus they gave me free eggs for signing up. not too shabby.

13) sadly, i did not do THIS well
