I got the middle of Manitoba mosquito bite blues – Ben Waters


Tonight was our first night out since we went to B.B King… last May!!!
When Mom asked us to go to the Dream Café tonight I was freaked. It would be our first time leaving SydneyBean. Who could watch her and HoneyBear? Oddly enough the only person I trust is our 21 year old employee Norm. He is so great with our oldest and has watched her many times before. He is very hands on with his 6 month old nephew so I felt ok about going out for 4 hours.
Now that we settled that, on to the next most important question… what to wear?
I am in that terrible spot, maternity is too big but my regular clothes are too small. Funny enough I am at that stage in my hair too. I had a pixie that I am trying to grow out. I read that Michelle Williams said “The mid-stage is insufferable. It’s really hard on your self-esteem.” I agree! Even worse add 24 lbs of baby weight and see how you feel looking in the mirror! It totally blows!
So I have 2 pairs of yoga pants and a pair of sweats… yeah.
I do have a t-shirt dress that I bought in Korea while pregnant with HoneyBear. Yeah, I can wear that! It is comfy and kinda cute. I can wear my boots… ok now we are getting somewhere J But what about color…. So I went through Ninja’s closet. Hmmmm what doesn’t he wear anymore?
Ninja’s old sweater

I found a great sweater that I loved but he hadn’t worn in years, I think there maybe a small hole in it or something it’s a cool navy sweater with purple and green stripes from Mexx. I cut the sleeves and made boot cuffs! Now we have an outfit!

Don’t mind my nasty legs lol
So we went to the Café, a little restaurant that features touring musicians, tonight was Ben Waters, a boogie woogie piano player from England. He was awesome! We had wine and cake and listened to music and had a much needed relaxing night J

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought, and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. – Leo Buscaglia
