Green and Blue Today

Well, today's post is going to be in my high school colors. It was 10 years ago today that I graduated. Whoa! Our actual "class reunion" isn't until August. I still talk to my childhood best friend but she is the only person from my class that I actually keep up with. Samantha is a pal from high school but she graduated the year before me.

Well, since it's early yet I don't have a ton to talk about...our power went out this morning while I was updating Easton's album...I was on the last of 11 pictures. Bummer...all my clever captions--GONE. Oh well. They really weren't that clever.

I went for a head-to-toe mole inspection at the dermatologist today. He shaved off 2 of them but thought they looked benign enough. I'm supposed to go in yearly given the amount of moles I have plus my family history. The ones he took off were not ones we wanted to just watch for the rest of my life. No biggie. I stopped for some Starbucks on the way home for both J and I. I had a headache ever since I woke up and thought the caffiene might help. It did. I probably had a "hangover" from my whole 2 drinks last night. Wimp.

Eastie is currently down for his nap and after he wakes we'll be heading to the zoo. I'm looking forward to it. We're planning a picnic for aferwards. Yippee! I love family days!

OPERATION: SELF-WEAN (aka "DON'T OFFER, DON'T REFUSE") Day 2:
Oh, and Easton was up at 6 again this morning so I offered to nurse and he did go back to sleep. I really don't think he's getting much from me but it the routine of it or something was enough to help him go back to sleep for a couple more hours. Before his nap we were rocking with his head on my chest and twice he lifted up his little head and signed "milk" but I pretended I didn't see and he didn't push it and put his head back down. It made me kind of sad to ignore his simple request, if he had insisted by lifting my shirt or something I would have totally agreed. But he let it go when I didn't respond and went to sleep shortly after I put him in his crib. So, technically I guess I did "refuse" but I see it more as "distracting". It makes me feel better to think of it that way so I will. So there. :)

I'm sure I'll have plenty of zoo pics tomorrow so stay tuned!
