Restfull sleep.
So go ahead and judge me, but I got Emfamil Restfull for Jayden today. It's a newer formula that is supposed to help babies sleep better at night. Apparently it thickens in their belly so it digests slower, so they feel full longer and don't wake up as often. Sue me that I want a full nights sleep, for me AND him. We'll see how it works. Tonight is the first night. I'll keep you updated. =]

Wrinkles be gone!
So I got NuBrilliance last week.. I have some wrinkles I don't like, sue me. I figure that it's better to attack these while I'm young. Anyhoo. NuBrilliance is an at home microdermabrasion system. I was skeptical at first, obviously, it was on an infomercial... but I looked up reviews online and couldn't find ONE bad one. There was something like 6300 reviews on Sephora for it and it STILL had 5 stars. So I caved.
Against my esthetician's (Lindsey) advice, I did it this morning (she said I should wait until before bed because my skin might get a little red). Well... Let me just say, I've only used it once but can already tell the difference! It's amazing. Some of my forehead wrinkles got VISIBLY smoother, all of my skin is suppppperrrr soft. I love it!!! My skin is a little pink, but I'm expecting it to fade in an hour or so, plenty of time before we go do anything today.
So, as you can tell, I HIGHLY recommend it. The 30-day trial is $14.95, and after that it's $70/month for three months, which I can deal with. Lindsey was saying that one microderm in the salon is close to $200.

So much to do, so little time
I feel like there's SO much going on right now.
I'm in the home stretch of this semester,thank goodness. I will be very excited to not have to deal with environmental science for a while. Unfortunately I'm going to be doing summer classes. We get paid for the GI bill for summer classes, and I figure it is my way of contributing to the income during that time... oh well, at least I should get better classes this time around.
San Diego is fast approaching. I'll be there in about a week and a half. It's funny because I was SOOO excited and anxious this last time I went to CA, but for some reason it's not really sinking in this time. I think I'm more worried about money this time. I know I'm going to be spending more down there (I won't be at my parents so we'll be eating out a lot, and I have to get my hair cut at Hair, Body, and Soul. Plus a night at Hennessey's, I'm sure a mani/pedi.... I dono. Just stressed. I'm sure it will be a BLAST but I just really don't want to come back broke. haha.
Easter is Sunday. I'm excited because it's Jayden's first Easter, and that is it. No plans. Probably just hanging out like usual. I'm trying to pull teeth to get AJ to take him to see the Easter Bunny. He says, "why?" I said, "Because in 6 years, when we don't have that picture, I'll be pissed." True. I didn't even really wanna go, but then I thought about it and realized that is sooo true. I'm already pissed that we didn't take "newborn" shots. =[
AJ hasn't been working much. Which is lame. They brought all the engineers to the ground, and a new class marked up, so he's had four days in row off so far, and he's pretty sure he's going to have tomorrow off too. You'd think it'd be cool, but he's on call, so at any point he can get called to work, so it's hard to do anything. =[ We've been trying to go back to Alliance for a while now, and you would think this would be the perfect opportunity, but seeing as it's 4 hours away, and he could get called at any time, not such a great idea. Oh well.
AJ's home from the dentist.... I'll come back later. =]

I am obessed with ETSY right now. I want to buy SO many newborn beanies and things for photo shoots, but I don't have a newborn to shoot. =[ So, alas, I will refrain from spending $$$ on any until I have a shoot booked. Sad.

Today:
-I found out I got a B+ on a midterm I was scared I was going to get a D on.
-It rained.
-I organized Jayden's closet.
-Updated 365.
-Sorted out which of Jayden's old clothes we're going to give away (and organized those).
-Did laundry.
-Got Jayden to nap, on the floor (NOT SWING!!!!)
For some reason I feel REALLY productive. haha. When I write it down it doesn't seem like as much. =[

I was blessed enough to have Lindsey have friend who had a boy about a year before I had Jayden, and she gave me two TOTES (yes, totes) full of clothes. And even though buying clothes for your new baby is one of the perks of being a new mommy, I now realize how much of a blessing having those clothes was, especially if they're in good condition. So I'm planning to pass them, and all of the other clothes we bought Jayden, on. I'm sad to see some of my favorite outfits of his go, but only so many outfits can go in his baby box, so I have to pick and choose. =]

Laundry List
Hmmm lots to talk about today, but I probably won't get to it all... I agreed to do school this summer, so I can make money and pay off my credit card.. hopefully raising my credit score to help get a loan for a house. YAY!
Jayden is growing like crazy, and as much as I miss how little he was, I love that he likes to play now, and just in time for summer.
I've decided that I really need to work a bunch this month (if possible) because I'm going to CA again in about two weeks (eek). I really want to get my hair cut at Hair, Body, and Soul by Sarah because it was AMAZING last time.
My momma thinks she's going to be able to come out in June when she had originally taken time off for my brothers wedding (which no one knows what's happening with). So I'm excited to show my momma how pretty Colorado is when it's sunny and green.
AJ and I are awesome. We've really opened up about certain things that have been weighing on me emotionally, so that's good. I think that sometime this summer we're going to just go "away" for the weekend. Maybe even just to downtown denver and stay in a hotel, just escape. =]
I REALLY want to get motivated to go to the gym, I just can't seem to, at least with Jayden. I miss the days when I would go to work at the Marriott, go straight to the gym, go tanning, go home, eat lunch, shower, (MAYBE nap), and then go to Chili's. As much as working SO much sucked... it was probably my FAVORITE time of my life... that sounds weird, but I was SO motivated back then, and I was honestly happy with my life. I had GREAT friends, loved BOTH of my jobs, and lived up my days off. I'd really like to get back to those days. I think I might just look up 24 hr fitness memberships because they offer childcare. We'll see.
Hmm, what else?? Nothing now I don't think. I'm gonna head to bed early tonight cause I can. =]

Screw you MSCD
So MSCD professors are LAMEEEEE, at least online ones. I've written all THREE of my professors and not ONE of them has gotten back to me. Why say, "Email me if you have questions about the project" if you're not going to reply!? UGHHHH. So frustrating!
Def won't be going there again next semester.

CA v CO.
Friday: 80 degrees
Saturday: 85 degrees
Sunday: 30 degrees
Monday: 35 degrees
Tuesday: 70 degrees
Just part of why I am LOVING life in Colorado. Sure, I miss my friends and family in California. I miss the beach. I miss going to the city. But I am DAMN proud of what I have here in Colorado, and I am DETERMINED to make this year one to remember! Lake days, fourth of July celebrations, rockies games, maybe a broncos game, tailgating, hiking in the mountains, buying a new car, a new house, building a snowman, dressing up for halloween, the list goes on, and I am STOKED!
(ps. I wrote a nice long blog about my trip to CA, but it didn't save [GRR], so I'll try and rewrite it later.)
