Walk for miles, my feet are hurtin

U2 and The Black Eyed Peas played down the street from our house (in Norman, Ok) last night. We bundled up Baby and walked around the stadium while a wheat cracker and people watching kept him happy. This is the Husband and the Baby. Both super cute.

This ring has been my favorite since i spotted it in a Tacori ad in a magazine.  I want it.

until i have the tiniest amount of time,

Baby Gap Baby

The Baby went on a little fall/winter clothing shopping spree yesterday in search of a new baby coat. On our way in to The Gap, I saw a poster for a GapKids casting call online. I entered these photos. I checked out his baby competition and i'm not trying to be mean but he's got this one in the bag. He can't help it if he's exceptionally cuter than all of the other babies. I know, it's not fair to them, but- hey babies! That's life. When I get the link to his pic for voting, i'll be posting it on here so you can vote for your favorite rock'n'roll baby.

He walked away with a new baby motorcycle jacket, which i'm sure you'll be seeing soon, and several shirts and a pair of jeans courtesy of his grandparents. Everything he's wearing in the photo is from The Gap- except his socks (Gymboree) and his diaper (Huggies size 4.) He also scored some stuff from Old Navy and Babies'R'Us. What a lucky little boy he is.

This week is halloween costume week. Have to go to the fabric store and bust out the sewing machine for Baby's costume. I'll let you know how that's going later.

Got a flu shot yesterday and now have a pounding headache so i'll leave you here. I need to drink some wine before we (Bulletproof Tiger) start recording session number 2 tonight.

When it rains...

This week has been a blur. Seems too long, seems so short. Not sure which. Tuesday night The Husband and i met up with his best friend (my bandmate) and their friend, Drew. Drew happened to be in town to play a show at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City. Big venue. Biggest one here. He's in One Republic. Really nice guy, cool stories, 11 year vegetarian, down to earth. We talked about guitars and Colorado. Bandmate and Drew came back to hang out at our house. By the time they arrived, Husband had fallen asleep- after building a raging fire in the chimenea on the back porch. It's getting very cold here in Oklahoma. So i ended up hanging out on the back porch, which made the next day very sleepy. Not uncommon- our back porch has the ability to turn a quick cigarette and small talk into a long night of playing songs and telling stories and before you know it, it's 4am and you're counting the hours you have left to catch some sleep.

The next day, The Baby wasn't his usual playful self. He seemed tired and just wanted to lay on me and cuddle. He woke up from a nap and he was burning up. Babies should not radiant that amount of heat. I was worried. Took his temperature, it was 101. Took it again 5 minutes later, it was 102. I was very worried. Loaded him up in the car, called his pediatrician and got an answering service. Called a local nurse hotline, they said DO NOT take him to the ER because he was sure to get the flu. Turned the car around and went home. Got his fever down and a doc appointment later that day. I have never been that scared in my life. Turns out he picked up a virus, probably from chewing on everything. Glad to say, he is much better now, no fever, very playful. Today was dreary and looking out the window this morning, i assumed it was freezing outside. Silly me. It was 80something, cloudy, and humid as hell. ugh. The town started flooding late this afternoon. Still pouring.

This is my sick baby, trying to muster the energy to play. Poor Baby.
All is well again. Or getting there at least.
I have much more to write but The Baby had a long night last night and i'm tired. And tired of all of the things i have to write about.
