Addictions and other vices...

OK, as I sit here at almoxt midnight I am thinking to myself, you should seriously be asleep by now and not still on the internet, namely on facebook and reading the blogs that I follow.

Perhaps this is why I haven't read a book for my book club in over 8 months?? I say I have no time, but I do get some free time, even with a 5 month old(I am not saying it is a lot, but still), and yet I still manage to never finish a book on time for book club.

This couldn't have anything to do with the SEVENTEEN magazine subscriptions I currently have or for the close to TWENTY programs I have to TiVo weekly. And it most certainly has nothing to do with the approximately 20-30 hours per week I spend online just fooling around either.

Right, I will just keep telling myself this to make myself feel better.

I am not going to even get started on my addiction to Gymboree or even clothes for a certain 5 month old knockout altogether.

Last night I went and had my hair colored, highlighted and cut, like i do every 6 weeks, and I get a whole 3 HOURS to myself to read said magazines mentioned above. After I went in to Gymboree because they are starting their "circle of friends" discount today. That's 30% off everything for those of you that don't know these things. I needed to be in there like I need a hole in the head. Of course i found about 10 more outfits that I just HAVE to have for G. The only thing I feel good about when it comes to this addiction is that I can either give it to friends or family or sell it on ebay after.

And let's not even get into what I bought at Along Came A Spider, a very chic child's boutique here in Vegas.

I know one thing is true, people always told me when you have a baby you tend to do everything for them, including buy things when you go out shopping. I don't really buy clothes for me anymore, except for the 3 full shopping bags I took home a few weeks ago. If you can't tell my sarcasm, that was it...

OK, now I really must get off the computer and get to bed before I am trying to make G watch Sesame Street while in his jumparoo in the a.m. so I can doze while he watches, because I can already tell he hates it when I do that!!

Oh, and did I mention my IPod addiction?? I'll save that for another day...

I'm really enjoying reading your blog. I can't believe how big Gerhig is getting. I hope I get to meet him in person some day.
Take care!
