10 on Tuesday

1. It's official....I am BLINK Makeup Artistry Ltd.!!! My sister, who is a lawyer in Saskatoon, helped me put through all of the paperwork I needed to have my very own company. I'm so excited, and now need to really promote myself so that it's worthwhile. It would be so great if I could do makeup for a living and still stay home with my kids. So, for any of you who know anyone who needs the services of a makeup artist....please think of me.....I have 4 weddings booked this Summer already!!

2. Olivia sustained her first non-brother related injury. At only 3 months old, she is already mobile. When she's on her back, she skooches herself backwards across the floor. The other day, she went so far off her play mat that she ran into the stereo stand....ouch! She had a lovely little mark on the back of her head, and although there were lots of tears, there was no permanent damage. The other funny thing about her sliding along the floor, she has a bald spot from her hair rubbing off!

3. Hayden is registered for pre-school in the Fall!! I'm not sure who is more excited, him or me!

4. The yard work continues.....and we have so much left to do. We're hoping we can get it all done so that we can still enjoy a little bit of Summer. The fence looks awesome, and the gate and sod come next. It will be so nice for Hayden to have somewhere to play!

5. Has anyone seen the infomercial for the "bump-it" hair do-dad or the miracle bra strap thingy? Is it sad that my first reaction was "those are pretty cool!" And for 2 easy payments of $19.95, I could own them both!!

6. My Epicure party is tomorrow night and I'm SO excited!! They have such great products and they have a lot of new stuff that I'm looking forward to sampling. If anyone needs any replenishment, let me know and I'll order it for you. And if you don't know Epicure, heaven forbid, you are missing out!!

7. I LOVE BBQ. Ralph's colleague had us over on Saturday night so our families could meet, and we had the most delicious dinner. I ate WAY too much. I even had a glass of wine. The overindulgence was well worth it.

8. The carpet is being replaced in my ENTIRE house on Thursday. It's all fine and dandy that we will have brand new carpet, but it is a huge inconvenience to a household with 2 kids and a routine. The only things we need to move are the electronics, computer, and any breakables.....that's an awful lot of work. But, better that than have faulty carpet, I guess. Oma offered to take Hayden for the day and I gratefully accepted!

9. Olivia had a horrible night last night. She was up at 2, 5, 5:45 and 7:30. Grrrrrrr. Is this a lesson in things getting worse before they get better? She has slept through the night 3 times now....what happened?@#! A would love to have some more of the 11pm to 6am please. I'm scared to do the "cry it out" scenerio 'cause it SUCKS. I don't think I'm there yet....I hope last night was just a tiny hiccup in our night routine.

10. Watch BT tomorrow morning.....the segment with Mike the gadget guy......the Deters' are on TV again!! We got to play with the Flip video camera for the afternoon and offer our feedback. It is certainly on my wish list! I made a joke that we should really get to keep it for helping CityTV out..... I'm not holding my breath.
