"Hey M, come here quick...look!!...

..I made a really big poop!!"
"That's great Lauren. Ok let's flush."
"Ok but look! It's really big and long and straight."
"Shhh..Ok..."
"And it has little yellow dots in it!"
"Ok Lauren...I don't think these other people want to hear about it..."
"I think I must eat too much!"
"I think maybe you*re right"

This was my afternoon conversation at the public pool.

Sorry it*s been so long since updates again!
To get you up to date, Dj and I attended a Paula and Dan's wedding this past weekend...lots of fun...it went so well...i just kept saying to myself...how is this already here! i had been looking forward to it for so long...and it was happening..and then it was over! Why does that always happen!? Luckily, we have a bunch more to look forward to in the near future. I also got to visit with my b-day girl best friend Taryn while I was home...Dj picked me up from her house and told me he had been at Pixi's where a bunch of his friends had shown up in hearing that he had made a quick pit stop there...SOO...i ended up sucking it up and going with him back there for about a half hour. If you know me, you know I don*t really feel comfortable at bars in general...i feel like everyone's looking at me funny...like i don't belong, or they don't want me there...(it basically brings out my social anxiety that may forever lurk inside of me)...that night I was wearing a black cocktail dress to make things even better and to stick me out even more...BUT...i didn*t feel too bad! It was actually nice..and i was happy to do something DJ wanted to do...bc he NEVER asks to do anything for him and i'm always asking!

We got to see ZOE walk around for the first time...and of course it brought me to tears. How is it even possible for Zoe to be growing up so fast? And how is it possible that we are missing this rapidly changing evolution?! Are all of us growing at that rate even still? As fast as children do? Or do we reach a point and then think we know everything so we stop?

Anyway...thanks to OOVOO, hopefully we will start up a weekly virtual get together between the entire family!! THAT would be HEAVEN SENT!! That way..next time we go to NY and she recites Shakespeare...we wont fall over dead.

There is an end in sight for my Nannying finally...I believe Labor day will mark the end...the girls will all be going to spend a few weeks with their grandparents and then start school so we figured that would be a good time...she told me today she passed on my name to her friend who would be able to offer me a full time position...Oyy!

I am absolutely SO IN LOVE with Eat, Pray, Love...other than the fact that it is just perfect for how i am feeling and addresses all the feelings i am feeling at this time in my life...i swear it is written by my soul sister back in Connecticut, Bridget. They both speak in this free for all, hysterical, holds nothing back sort of way. This book is like getting to be back on Bridget's floral bed in comfy PJ's petting her little mongrels and giggling and sharing every thought that came to our minds without a thought of holding back.

Back to work...i have a lot of applying to do. And i feel it will be best to go in person to these next places...i will keep you updated...


DJ JUST GOT HOME...AND SHOWED ME SOMETHING VERY FUN!!!!!!! I just took a pic of it and would upload it...but i will now force him to do a quick update!!
