This could be one of the saddest days ever

So I used to have 6 nalgene bottles. 6, no joke, at one time. (I won't go into the long saga of each of them) I am down to one that has no lid. What happened. Lately I've been really frustrated because I can't find a single water bottle. I am an advocate for saving the environment I never use the disposable water bottles. Why would I do that when I can fill up my own. We have a Costco pack of water bottles for emergencies, well this week I broke down and had to open it. Last week I was down to 1.5 nalgene bottles and my $2000 dollar hospital water bottle which I love that had a nice straw. Now I am down to the topless nalgene. I don't know where my black nalgene (Matrix) went and today my heart broke.
So I got this $2000 dollar water bottle when I gave birth to Makenzie, it was my hospital water bottle the great big fat ones with the straw, it has been like a second child to me. I have used it everyday since Makenzie was born, and recently Makenzie took a liking to it because it has that great straw. Well a few days ago we took it to the pool and left it there. So naturally I went back today and asked the life guard if he had seen my water bottle. He looked a little confused when I was asking for it so I started to describe it, green, cool straw etc. He gave me an evil stare and said in his russian accent "I trashed it!" I was like "no, I don't think you understand, it wasn't a little plastic bottle that you throw away." "I trashed it." I felt like Rocky in Rocky 4 when Drago says in his Russian accent (coincidence I think not) "I crush you!" My heart shattered into a million pieces and I almost ran off the other way crying. Instead I held it together and tried to figure out why he didn't just put it in the little pool room and wait for someone to come get it. I mean who throws away a real water bottle?
So like I said I am down to 1 completely useless nalgene and for that reason had to break into my emergency stash. When you see me drinking out of my Kirkland signatures this week, don't judge me, I promise to recycle them, at least until Matrix finds his way home.

Consider this an invite to our summer

So Lee and I decided that we needed to make a list of things to do this summer so instead of the usual "what do you want to do?" "I don't know, what do you want to do?" We will be taking part in some very fun things. Consider yourselves invited to come, just let me know and I'll tell you when we actually do it. If anyone has good info on any of the following let me know, ie. where to do some of this stuff.

1. Saturday the Fairfax Fair is going down.

3. Baby loves Disco (Baltimore)
4. Fishing Burke Lake

Lets hear some of your ideas for the summer.

I'm really doing it

It was a mentally rough 3 days. Do I do it, do I not do it. I decided. I am doing it. I am participating in the Ragner Relay Race 182 miles of relaying with 11 other people. We run 3 times, 3-9 miles for 2 days. Actually a day a night and a day. I could be running at 2am for all I know. I decided I needed something to look forward to, something to push me. I have my workout schedule all arranged and on my calendar. I started today and will be training for the next 4 months. Keep asking me how the training is going. So far I'm 100%.

The World's hardest baby to bathe cont.

So I've posted before on how hard it is to bathe Makenzie. Well it is at it's worst. It is no longer possible to bathe her without actually getting in with her. So now every time she needs a bath, Lee or I puts our bathing suit on and gets in with her and attempts to get her clean. Even in the tub it is extremely hard. She is always trying to get out and she can almost fling her leg all the way over the side of the tub. It is ridiculous. I think Makenzie just likes that her parents are in the tub with her. If you can't tell from the picture, she looks extremely happy, I look extremely annoyed. That about sums it up.

When does the whole Princess thing start?

So a little while ago Alisha asked me "when does the whole Princess thing start?" We then went into a discussion on theory's of how the whole Disney Princess things comes about in young girls. We were both a little perplexed on how tiny girls even understand the concept of "I am a princess" when it really has never been introduced. Here is an example. I got this McDonald's crown like 3 years ago, kept it around in my dress up box. It has since become a toy to Makenzie, but the thing is she loves it. She puts it on her head and walks around and smiles and gets a little twinkle in her eye. I wouldn't be surprised if she went into her room and came out in a fancy dress, the thing practically transforms her. The other day I even found her looking at herself in the mirror with it on. A 14 month old considers herself a princess. I guess evolution of the 21st century says that most young girls will go through a princess stage. I guess we are starting ours.

Elvis has Left the Building

Kenzie has been quite our little copy cat lately. I mean she copies everything, gestures, words, you name it. It is actually kind of fun. Any way she also likes to copy what I wear, nice robe I know. So Lee put it on her and I loved the way it looked when she walked away.

So I married a computer nerd!

So I haven't posted in a while, and I won't be posting pictures anytime soon because I married Lee the computer nerd. He reformatted our whole hard drive, so nothing is the same, I'm talking nothing, different system, the works. He is very protective of our computer, personal info and everything on it. Which is a good thing. When we started receiving mail that had to do with what we were searching on the internet he got a little paranoid, figured out we had spy ware and wiped out the whole system. So now I have to relearn how to use the computer, and until then, no pictures will be coming this way. Too bad. So tip for the day (Lee tells me this all the time): you should reset your passwords, make them tricky cause you never know who is spying on you. Scary!
