vampires, mid-drifts, and other such things.

Because Justin and Jasper both go to bed early, I've recently taken to watching old shows while I do things for work. The latest installment I'm slightly ashamed to admit, is Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how far fashion has come since the 90's? Remember the mini backpacks? And what about spaghetti strap mid-drifts, tattoo chokers and overalls? And the best, those black elastic sandals? You know the ones I'm talking about.

Aside from the amazing fashion, there also is the cheesy violence and did they really need to make the vampires so grotesque. Twilight has given me such unrealistic expectations about how sexy vampires should be. Because before Twilight, all my vampire expectations were so realistic.

Perhaps I should try reading at night instead.

Justin and I have really been trying to figure out this whole, baby, school working thing balance. It isn't easy, and I often find myself racked with guilt or trying to figure out what we can change or do differently. We've found the first thing to are the extraneous tasks, you know like blogging, haircuts, homework, eating, sleeping or cleaning. So basically we are a bunch of half starved cave dwellers over here.

I've gained a new admiration for families everywhere, and a special appreciation for my wonderful husband, who works so hard to help me in any way he can. And of course the glorious little guy, who can give me one little squinty eyed smile, and I forget about all the trouble he causes.
