Our night was quite adventurous, so much fun, filling and of course, hilarious. I took some pictures of our night out.

Date Night
Mr. S and I had another date night last week. We had to delay it a few times because D-nut had his first fever (and we were just as you would expect first-time parents with a 7-month old with a fever would be -- confused and worried), but everything was fine after a day or two.

"It only has to happen once."
In
Motherhood
I have this thing now, where I don't take chances on certain things. If it's something that you can't say "I'll do ___ next time instead", it goes in the "It only has to happen once" category. It would almost always apply to things that are dangerous, risky, stupid... Basically it only has to happen once for you to learn your lesson, and by then, it's too late, or it shouldn't have had to happen for you to learn it.
Fashion Victim?
In
Do
Every season when there are new looks springing here and there, I find myself wondering if they're a Do or Don't for me. I'm short and on a budget, not that if I was tall and had money that I'd just go out and splurge on anything and everything of the latest craze. In order to help me save money, save sanity and save me from looking like an idiot, I usually gauge if I think the latest trends are silly, if they're okay but not for me, if they're okay for now, or if they're okay long-term. If they're okay for now and I like them, I'll look for a thrifty version, that way, they last me as long as they should, and by the time they're worn out, it's okay because they'll be out of fashion too! If they're good for long-term, I'm okay with spending a little bit more, as long as it's reasonable. There are times though when I change my mind about a Don't after a little bit of exposure.

Do you think Paul Reubens ever gets tired of being Pee Wee Herman? I mean, he's closing in on 60 and has been playing this character for almost 30 years.

If you're looking for a partner who's a keeper, and you're thinking long-term, as in "I'm-gonna-marry-him/her-and-have-his/her-children" long-term, here's something I realized would be very important, if you're someone like me.
Make sure your partner is not only okay with getting their hands dirty, but getting them dirty with your child/children's poo.
He/she must be able to quickly jump out of bed with you at 7AM on a Saturday morning, subjecting him/herself to high blood pressure to match yours, when your baby has taken a massive dump and it is slowly seeping out of the diaper, threatening to ruin your child's PJs and your sheets, first thing in the morning.
He/she has to be willing to either help you wash your baby's bottom, get the bath ready or attempt to undo the stains that your baby's clothes are being subjected to with detergent and hot hot water.
And through all this, he/she must be able to laugh with you about it, share your disgust and disbelief simultaneously at this crazy bowel movement, all the while staying focussed on the task at hand.
VERY important.
Tis the season...

...for lots of scary movies to come out, with lots of commercials on TV that make me hide behind pillows, sing really loudly AT D-nut and close my eyes forcing me to my happy place.
I'm not good at scary movies anymore.
The Goddaughter
It's very easy to love my Goddaughter.
She's one of those people who remind you of the person you wish you were when you were her age. She's good-natured, confident and comfortable with who she is. You can tell this just by talking to her. She's so easy to talk to too. She doesn't do that awkward "this is how I talk to adults" thing that I used to do.
When she was a baby, she was very easy-going and fun to play with, like most babies. But she continues to be the same way today. She has a fun sense of humour and so you can joke around with her like she's still a kid or like she's an adult. She's growing up so quickly, it's scary. But, I find myself enjoying watching her get older, and taller and taller than me.
She's such a good person, and she's still so young. She's like a breath of fresh air. I think she's growing up to be one of those people that people will look at and say, "There should be more like her..." One of the things I admire about her is that she's not afraid to say when something is wrong. She knows what's right and what's good. And so, she's very respectful. But, she's not afraid of you.
She's also a beautiful dancer. I missed her recital this year, but I'm sure she's gotten even better since I last saw her dance. Oh, the last time I saw her dance (not including that time I watched her perform "Beat It"). It was such a pleasure to watch her leap in the air with such grace, and even act a bit. So cute. Speaking of cute, she has this dimple at the top of her cheek. I think whenever she smiles, it'll always make me remember her smile when she was a teeny, practically bald baby.
I'm so happy about the person she's becoming. My sister and brother-in-law are doing such a great job raising her. She's such a mature young woman, and I'm so proud to call her my Goddaughter.
People I Love
So I mentioned before that I was thinking of doing a People I Love series. I decided I'd go ahead with it, but instead of it being a series, I'd just post every so often and use a People I Love tag. I know me, and I know that I'm not capable of writing about people I love consecutively and then stop My thoughts are all over the place and I'm bound to write about something else between People I Love posts.
Also, I decided to keep with my blog rules and use no names.
So, I begin...
