I am really far behind on visiting everyone's blog and updating my own (obviously). So, bear with me and I hope to catch up in the next few days!.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
My weekend
My weekend was really awesome. I got plenty of relaxation and got a few things done! Little Man was in the Diaper Derby for the Peach Festival and that was fun. We didn't win, in fact we didn't even come close. He was disqualified for leaving the mat. Oh, well, we had fun watching anyway. I wanted to go to the Southern Living Idea Home, but we didn't go because we were hot and tired after the Peach Festival.

LittleMan's new girlfriend
Little Man has a new girlfriend that he met at the local Chinese restaraunt (since I am totally addicted!). She's a waitress and they both get really excited when they see each other. It's really kinda sweet. She comes over inbetween customers and visits with him and brings him food. I'm waiting for a discount because he's just so cute, but so far, nothing.

Site of the day
Go visit Linda and tell her hi!

Three things
Name three things you are glad you did this weekend
1. Read two books I got from the library
2. Went to the Peach Fest
3. Cleaned off my kitchen countertops (Sounds easier than it was)

Books I read this weekend
I read some great books this weekend. I finished off the Shopaholic series with Shopaholic and Sister. I can't wait for a new Shopaholic book. I think a book focusing on Becky's pregnancy will be great! If anyone has scoop on whether or not this is a reality, let me know! Secondly, I read Nightime is My Time by Mary Higgins Clark. It was good. My only criticism is that there were too many characters which were underdeveloped making for a confusing read trying to figure out who was who. But maybe that's just me. Either way, it was good, but I've always liked Mary Higgins Clark books anyway.

Changes to my blog
As you may have noticed, I started referring to my child as Little Man. I am going to go through my posts and change them to reflect this and also the name of my husband (haven't decided on what yet). This is because I have been asked to join a blog as a regular contributing blogger, and since this site has received national attention, I've decided to change their names in case anyone I know stumbles across this.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
