Dear Bambino,
For the past couple of weeks I've wanted to do nothing but call you during my lunch breaks. Even today while I was walking to the car on my lunch break I thought of you and wanted to call you. I wanted to hear your cute little manchild voice, about how your day was going, what kind of food you were eating and to just tell you that I love you.
You are always in my thoughts and while I remain patient, I cannot wait until the day that you and I can converse.
If I had been able to call you today I would've talked to you about how excited I am that your Tutu is coming to visit us soon. I'm pretty convinced that she will "kidnap" you for the week that she is here and try to show the Hawai'i that she knew. I know that she cannot wait to see you and hold you and try to talk stories with you. Tutu just loves you and loves being your grandma - she's been waiting for you since I was 22 and didn't even have a boyfriend anymore but hey, that's just how she rolls. ;o) She's always wanted to a mama and has been very excited about being a granny. I'm excited to see her and watch you two interact. I'm also convinced that you'll become best friends and will run away with your Tutu when she returns to Seattle. Please don't do that. I would miss you too much.
I would have also told you that you cried a lot last night which led you to be quite whiny and me to be quite grouchy. Then I would've apologized for snapping at you this morning and that I will try to be more patient with you. I mean the BOTH of us were up all night last night and really who doesn't want to be snuggled in the morning after a long night of interrupted slumber. Then I would tell you that I loved snuggling with you for the 10 minutes that we had left before we had to leave for you Aunty Rose's house. You're the perfect snuggle bug. In fact you are just perfect. Full Stop.
After that bit of conversing I would say that I need to get back to work but don't want to and that I can't wait to pick you up and give you hugs & kisses and snuggle time.
You are missed during the time that I am at work but I'm very thankful that I am able to look forward to coming home to you.
I love you little Bambino.
Love,
Mama

Face
The Bambino's cute little, big face.
Poor fella's allergies are heightened because of the vog (volcanic smoke + smog = vog), hence the runny nose and watery eyes. BUT....He can still run around like the energetic toddler he is.Enjoy the cuteness!xoxo

More stuff to text my toddler
Please stop throwing your food on the carpet - we don't have a dog to lick it up and sometimes mama is too tired to get out the vacuum.
Maybe that's why there's ants in the house?

A winner and a loser....
Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So things have been a bit busy 'round these parts.
Also, I am a loser because I only went FOUR days without watching the television. I got sick (still am but getting better) and when I get sick, I watch the boob tube. So that experiment was an epic failure.
Though, I won't be setting bets this time I will start again on the less television thing. I did well this past weekend in taking the Bambino out for a playdate and just giving him 100% of my attention on Saturday. Then on Sunday we went to the aquarium and had a great time. Though I have major guilt issues because I let the kid eat some McDonalds fries. Gross. My baby now knows what grease tastes like.
So anyway about the TV wager - NotaSoccerMom won!!!!!!!
NOTASOCCERMOM -Please e-mail me your information and I'll be sending you a Hawaiian Christmas ornament and some yummy Hawaiian treats - you're not allergic to Macadamia nuts are you?
Okay, so the no watching tv was a failure this time around but I've done a great job this week. We've hung out with our neighbors and friends this week and played a couple rounds of "Scene It." I totally lost. But it's cool. And have just been having fun, fun, fun!
Something I would text my toddler
Please stop taking off your diaper and proceeding to whizz all over the carpet. At least go outside and do that.

Things I would text to the Bambino if he could text back or talk back and had a cell phone...not like he's getting one until he can drive....
Dear Bambino,
If I could call or text you right now I would tell you that I am so bored at my job and would rather be hanging out with you at the park or having a battle of wills about me wanting you to walk on your own and you wanting me to carry you.
You usually win by the way.
Mama doesn't like to be away from you all day at work but right now this is what she needs to do - until George Clooney opens his eyes and realizes that he wants to marry me and be your daddy. But........that won't happen for a while. *wink*
So, I'm stuck here at work during my lunch break wanting to tickle you, hug you, and just look at your handsome face. I miss you so much during the work day.
I'll see you soon.
Love,
Mama

Men With Sleeve Tattoos Are H-O-TTTTTTTTTT!!!!
I used to have a men in Buddy Holly style glasses fetish (still do) but I've developed another. Men with sleeve tattoos.
Seriously. I like me a man with tattoos but make it a sleeve and drrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooool.
Now I ususally cannot stand David Beckham but ever since I learned about his sleeve tattoos, I've been having nauthy thoughts. Substitute that mouse voice of his with Clive Owen's voice and I'm sold! Watchout Posh Spice (after I get my SLAMMIN' MILF body that is)! I mean soccer, tattoos and British?
YUM!

Message to the universe
While driving to pick up the Bambino from daycare I notice a man-jogger. A shirtless man-jogger. A hot and sweaty shirtless man-jogger with sexy six-pack abs! And that's when I pull a fender-bender from checking out said man-jogger.
Not really, but almost.
So back in October I thought perhaps I was ready to date because the Bambino had turned one-year-old the previous month and I had devoted a whole year to just him and no other man. But really I wasn't. His father was still on my mind, as in I was still a bit angry with him and well Mr. Perfect was still in my heart.
Not anymore.
This holiday season I sent the Bambino's father a holiday card with a photo of the little manchild and a kind note. I don't expect to hear from him. Ever. It was my own bit of closure.
As for Mr. Perfect? Well, he's still perfect - my ideal man but not reality. I've finally come to terms that while we both have some of the same ideals and views on life, society, the world - we both definitely want different things in life. He is a stable man, while I am a restless woman with incredible wanderlust. He is firm in his beliefs, while I can't help but keep changing my mind. He is there and I am here. And the list goes on. He is someone who will be a perfect godparent for the Bambino should anything ever happen to me. It is because he is the ideal man that he will be the only man, besides my dad that I would entrust the Bambino with if I were no longer here on this Earth to be with my little lovebug. Mr. Perfect will always hold a special place in my heart but my heart is finally ready (almost 7 years later) to fully open up to a different man.
I'm finally ready for Mr. Here-right-now. Mr. Makes-me-laugh-a-lot! Mr. Accept-me-for-who-I-am. Mr. Loves-me-and-the-Bambino. Mr. Real.
I thought I would wait until I lost some weight, ya know, got the slammin' MILF body. But I don't want to date a man who only wants to be with me because I have a nice body and look pretty. I don't want end up with a fella who is going to make me feel like turd piles because of cellulite. I also don't want to date a guy who is going to not understand that the Bambino comes first.
Right now, I'm happy with where I am in life. I've got a beautiful little manchild who still loves to give me hugs and kisses - who still runs after me if I try to go to the bathroom without him. We have a roof over our heads. We've got some great family surrounding us. We've got beautiful friends. I'm meeting fantastic new people everyday. I can provide for my little manchild. Life is good and I'm really happy with where I am right now. Even with my body - while I still work to lose weight and get healthy I can't help but feel good in my new Michael Kors jeans. These jeans make my ass look great! and they make me feel great too. Anyway...my heart is open.
I'm ready universe!
Consider my message sent (and sealed with a kiss).

Let's just call these my resolutions......
Remember my 27 things to do before I turn 27-years-old post?
Well here are the things I've accomplished so far:
Well here are the things I've accomplished so far:
- Found peace with my present - finally! It feels so good!
- Made more friends - I have a playdate with another mama this Thursday and I keep making more friends!
So just TWO so far but I'm searching for a good photo contest to enter, plan on piercing my nose, cooking a meal for loved ones (my mom's visiting), and sew & knit, in March. I'm also on the hunt for a journal to write in, so if you have any advice or places that would have a good, thick, and elegant journal let me know. Though, I'll probably just buy a composition book and go from there.
I'm still working on my AWESOME project so it'll be another while until I post it.
Until then....
Oh and can I get a "Whoo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!" for the Restless Tutu visiting in March. Should be good times, people, good times!
