Routines and Silence

I am sitting here watching "Go, Diego, Go" (with Lily) waiting for her to want to go to sleep. Surprisingly, at quarter to 8 she isn't crying. She is just sweetly siting in her swing chewing on some teething thing. Just I wrote that, she rubbed her eyes and looked straight at me as if to say "Isn't it bedtime now?".

Today felt like every day for the rest of my life. At 7 AM, Lily woke up. I changed her, started her on some milk and Noggin and got to cleaning. As probably stated before, I can't relax unless the house is clean. So I do the kitchen, the living room, our bedroom, etc... Trevor sleeps in. I think he appreciated that. I even washed his work clothes in the load of laundry I started. Lily goes back to sleep around 9:30 AM. Trevor reads Harry Potter, I play Kingdom Hearts. Lily gets up around 11:30 AM. She plays for a while, then Trevor feeds her for me. It's great, I really don't like feeding her. What a mess. Sometimes she spits. Anyway, my mom came by since she's been out of town and we haven't seen her for almost a week. I love hanging out with my mom. She didn't stay for more than an hour, but I am sure she will be back this week now that she is back in town. Anyway, then Lily took another nap, and I decided I would also. Trevor left for work right as Lily was waking back up around 4:30 PM. She played again. I call her toy areas "The Circuit". Like a workout thing. First, she plays on the blanket scooting around and wishing she could crawl. Then, she gets in the swing until she's over that, then the exercauser. Then, bouncy seat with milk. Repeat... most of the time. This evening, it was one rotation and then dinner time. No Trevor to do the honors for me. She ate a lot... probably because it was fruit, which she loves, and sweet potatoes which is the one veggie (if you can call it that) that she really likes. Then she had a bath right after dinner as always. I think she likes baths now. Today she was kind of grumpy during it. But after she had a bottle, and when she was through with the bottle I stuck her in the swing and now she is talking to Diego like they are best friends.

She will go to bed soon, and then I will probably watch Entourage. Season 4 is OnDemand now, which I am truly excited about, because I haven't seen most of them. I am severely disappointed they took InTreatment off of OnDemand, I hadn't finished watching them, and I find them really interesting. I can't watch them one at a time, but sometimes, I just get in the mood and watch about 7 episodes. Now it's gone. The only weird thing is that my mom went to school and grew up with one of the main actors (Blair Underwood). She used to give him rides to school and stuff, they lived in the same neighborhood. Anyway, so instead of seeing his character now, I just think "Hey, that's my mom's friend".

I am also very excited because Trevor said we could go to Baltimore for Otakon. Well, actually, I was going to go anyway, but now he is going to go with me. Not to Otakon, but to Baltimore. It's not far from Richmond (just a couple of hours) and while him and mom gave me a bit of a hard time for liking (fluff)friends enough to go to a convention for it, I am excited and my mom thinks it's cool. Kind of like when we went to a scrapbooking convention last summer. If you really enjoy something, you should REALLY enjoy it, no matter how dorky it is. I am excited to meet the creator, some of the mods I've met on the forums, and OF COURSE, Mama... When I first started on the (fluff)friends forum, I ran across this thread called "Ask Mama". It was probably the funniest thing ever. This chick is just offering free advice like an advice columnist except her advice is HILARIOUS. I spent about two hours reading through the thread right off the bat. Then, of course, I asked her advice about something and I was hooked. Later, she created a new thread called "Mama's House" where all of us chatting in her advice thread could chat so she wouldn't miss important questions. Anyway, her real name is Jen, and she has been asked to work the booth there, so most of all I am excited to meet her. She just seems so damn cool, but also thoughtful, caring, and above all, smart. I like smart people.

Just for giggles... here is what I ate today also. This morning, I heated up some creamed chipped beef from Sunday brunch, some potatoes, a sausage link and I fried an egg. I love fried eggs. Then, Trevor made me beef and broccoli for lunch... he made himself some Teriyaki marinated steak and that was pretty tasty, surprisingly. Trevor has really stepped up his culinary game lately.

No shows that I like come on tonight. Lily is looking about ready for sleep and I am ready to watch some Entourage.... I have been playing Kingdom Hearts all day and I'm really not as good as I think I am. Oh, except I keep forgetting that I did it on Expert, so maybe that's why it's so damn hard. I am going to finish Kingdom Hearts 2 first probably. I remembered playing it while I was pregnant and getting very far, and then just.... stopped.

Day 2 (as a housewifey)... it was exciting, no?
