After yesterday’s crazy long and whiny post, I believe I owe you some brevity and cheer. So, in no particular order, here it is, short and sweet.
***
Last summer I watched The Starter Wife (the miniseries) after the regular TV season was over. This summer, I’m choosing more wisely and going with Arrested Development. I’ve watched the first three episodes, and I’m happy to say I’m hooked.

Annalyn has had a fever, off and on, for the past three days. I ended up staying home with her yesterday afternoon, and aside from the crying jags and burning forehead, she was perfectly adorable. She’s starting to speak in two-word sentences, and they’re just so sweet: “Bye-bye, Daddy.” “Thank you, Mommy.”

Staying home with Annalyn reminded me of the dilemma that is daytime television, in particular, the 3:00 hour. How can one possibly choose between Ellen and What I Like About You?

I went to the grocery store to buy some chicken. My whole purpose for going out, to the store, was to get a bag of chicken. I came home with pudding, refried beans, bananas and bagels, making this the second week in a row that I won’t be able to participate in Jessie’s Friday Family Recipes carnival. Because I need chicken for my recipe. And I want to take pictures.
This blogging life is so complicated.

I forgot to include in yesterday’s post (the one I should have named, “The weekend was long. This post is longer.”) that we went to the park on Sunday afternoon and had a great time. Of course, you know by “had a great time,” I mean that I got some great pictures. So now, because you’ve been so kind to read this random rambling mess, I present to you pictures from last weekend:

her hair is getting so long!
Ha! I’m not the only one who sucked in to “what I like about you”.
Hee hee! How cute! I’m glad Annalyn is feeling better!
I started watching Arrested Development when we still had internet in our apartment. I really loved it! It’s very funny!! I think I only got to the 8th episode, though. But definitely worth it!
i’d go with ellen. simply because i’ve never watched what i like about you!
cute park pictures! hey… i just remembered in your last post that you were gonna go to the zoo. we did on monday. that would’ve been funny to run into you there!
anyway, back to the pictures. she’s so cute! looks like she had fun at the park!
too cute!
Arrested Development is HILARIOUS!!! Love that show — wish I had more time to catch up on past episodes/seasons.
The park pictures are adorable. Better get scrapbookin’!
Chelley – yep! Some mornings when she wakes up, I think it got longer overnight!
Nichole – no, you’re not alone. :) But why is it that when I get to watch reruns, it’s always the same few episodes??
HM – thanks!
James – It makes our family look a little better, doesn’t it?
Erin – I would have laughed if we’d run into each other. But we should have discussed it – we could’ve gone together!
Kim and Kim – thanks! (And Kim H, I can’t wait to scrap her pics from the last few months when I go on a retreat with my cousin in July!!)
all the pictures are cute, but i love her eyes in that last one.
I know someone else that loves Arrested Development and I still have never seen it. I’ll get on board this summer.
I have a rule with myself to not turn the TV on in the afternoon. Just doesn’t feel right when I could be doing something constructive. I’d rather sit and veg at night.
Your mention of Fri. Family Recipes carnival reminded me of Metamorphosis Mondays meme which I’d like to participate in someday. I recently painted an old birdhouse and was going to show that until I took a look at what other ladies blogged about. Transforming whole rooms or some other completely fabulous project. It made me really embarrassed to show my stupid little birdhouse. I’m sure I’d be the laughing stock of that meme. *sniff*
Love Annalyn’s pink Crocs!
