Why god, why??? He was fabulous!!

A couple years ago when Maor and I moved here I got super lucky and found a fantastic hair dresser in a super cheap chain place.
They dont take reservations so I just memorized his schedule and would show up when I knew he was working.

He quit and they wont tell me where he went. Its probably a conflict of interest to tell me.

I may be a little crazy but I did try and find him on Facebook, that didnt work, I dont know his last name. I even put an add on craigslist. No hits.

Im just going to have to grow my hair down to my ass now.

....or trust someone new to cut my hair....

That will happen after my hair is down to my ass.

Little fishy!

We went to the gym to start our little free trial thing yesterday. They gave us a tour and a run down of all the included stuff which is EVERYTHING....except tennis... tennis you have to pay extra for.
They have a pool with 50 different classes and free swim. They have all the equipment you could ever need for anything up to and (if only you could get away with it) including sex. They have yoga classes, spin classes,   stretching classes, weight lifting classes, personal trainers to kiss your ass, and a basket ball court!
The bathrooms/locker rooms have hot tubs, a sauna, hair dyers, complimentary soaps, and mouthwash.
And they have child care...really the most important part.
It absolutely insane and swank.

After the tour they gave us the run down on how much it would cost a month. I was right, its $120 a month. Insurance may cover $40 of it (I need to call them tomorrow and ask) but thats a bit out of our budget. The catch was they would wave all the start up fees if we signed up right then BUT we have until the middle of Feb to decide if we really want to go with it or not. If we do we just keep going, if we dont we get a full refund. So we splurged a little and went with it.
I dont think I realized just how badly we both need to get back into shape until we met with a trainer. He ran us through a few quick exercises and showed us some things to do that would eventually help with Maors back. I dont know if I have mentioned this before but Maor is unable to stand up straight and has MAJOR lower back pain. We had a neighbor who was a chiropractor who would come over and crack him but she constantly stressed that the best thing is for him to do Yoga and work on his back because his muscles just arent holding the disks in place.
So while I was huffing and puffing like I just ran 10 miles after doing a few wobbly lunges Maor was just flat out unable to keep himself straight and solid. It was bad and we both agreed that we needed to do something about this.

After working out we picked up Lea from the daycare and took her to the pool. She looked a little scared at first and clung to our necks as hard as she could but she didnt cry. We took turns walking her up and down the pool and playing with her while the other did some laps. After about a half hour she got a little braver and would let go and splash and kick.

Today we did the same thing. Worked out for a bit then grabbed Lea and hit the pool.

We would really like to go 3 times a week. Maybe a little more if we alternate who goes at night and stays with Lea (daycare is only open till 8). Sundays we have pretty much decided will always be a workout then take Lea to the pool day. Im really determined to stick with it.

Leather

Tomorrow is our 3rd wedding anniversary.

The leather anniversary. I dont know who thought that up. Seems like something you would hit around your 14th anniversary when your really scrapping the barrel for ideas. 

We still dont have a baby sitter. We will just have to wait until Lea is asleep to celebrate. She goes to bed early so its ok. We will probably make a steak dinner, light some candles, watch a movie, have some sex, and go to bed. 

The past 3 years have been very interesting. I wonder what the next one is going to bring. 

We have already decided that Saturday morning we are going to lifetime fitness to start a free trial for their gym. We want to start working out so we can have abs. You cant get gym rates online BUT you can get week long free trials, so if we can stick with this gym idea we will probably spend the next month testing out gyms then hopefully find one we can afford. We need a gym with a daycare so that narrows our options down quite a bit. 

So thats our future. Here is the past 3 years.

 We lived in Las Vegas for a little while.

We visited Maors family in Israel.

And we had a sweet little baby girl.

LOVE IT!

Maor didnt know what a Hitachi was so when it came in the mail he looked at me like I was a little crazy for being so excited. 
I explained to him that I have had this on my wish list for seven years and am probably the last cam girl to get one. He still didnt get it until after we did the show.

Im glad this show worked. 
Personally I thought it was FANTASTIC!
But that might have been because I had some great sex. Really, really, great sex.
If we could have done two shows in a row we would have. So we just had sex again without the cam.

Thanks for watching!

Dirty Pictures

Well I dont know when the last time I did a picture set was but its been a long time!

I got the idea a couple days ago to do a dirty picture set...of myself doing chores. Get it? Dirty?
...yeah Im a dork.

For $30 you get 10 topless photos of my doing the dishes, the laundry, and making the bed.
For $40 you get the 3 bonus full nude photos.

Use the chip in to get them. Please allow up to 24 hours to get the photos because I am a working mom so while it wont actually take me 24 hours to get back to you I dont want to make any promises I cant keep.

New Years Resolution

I am going to do a new drawing and/or painting every week for the rest of the year.

I tired to do this 2 years ago where I posted a new drawing every day for a year but I only made it three months before I got caught up in life and lost it on http://sporksandcrayons.blogspot.com/

This year Im going to be a little more realistic and push for something new once a week.

Time to pull the graphics tablet back out!

Cabin Fever!

Once again its that time of the winter where I have been hit with cabin fever!
Not working retail this year made it come on a lot quicker. Usually I dont start going stir crazy till around February. 

I havent really left the house for anything but grocery shopping and work for two months. I did have that 4 day weekend in Wisconsin with my parents but I mostly hid in their house. 
Its too cold to go outside, we're too broke to hit up a museum, and its freezing out. I didnt want to mall walk over the past two months because who the hell wants to go to the mall if they dont have to over the Christmas season? 

So after Lea gets up from her nap and has lunch we are going to the Mall of America to walk around. Im not a fan of malls but I need to see something besides the inside of this house or my office. 

Welcome home

I havent written about it but Maor is finally home!!

Having him back is taking some getting use to. Things move to where I didnt put them, my snacks disappear at an alarming rate, there are constantly muddy foot prints I have to clean up in the kitchen, and I have to sleep on my side of the bed again.

I am having a much easier time relaxing after Lea goes to bed though. While Maor was gone I thought about what I would do if someone broke into the house every night. I havent sense he got home. My brain automatically assigned it as his problem... it does the same thing with tire pressure and oil changes.

Lea is very happy daddy is home but hasnt actually gotten use to him being around yet. She wants his attention all the time, she refuses relax before bed if hes around, and for some reason shes very unsure about him feeding her spoon food. She has a look on her face that says "You dont normally do this. Whats going on?".

Maor is getting use to being nagged again, the freezing cold, and hes got to start being quicker about putting up a spit up cloth when Lea starts blowing raspberries with a mouth full of pears.

Its taking some adjusting again.

Looking for a new daycare

Ive had it in my head to change Leas daycare for a few months now.

Ive seen some practices that give me pause for concern, no one seems to know state safety policies, and over the month of December when they put all the kids names up on cute shapes associated with the month they put Leas name on a Christmas tree and a stocking even though we told them we are Jewish (she may be the only Jewish baby in the daycare but she isnt the only Jewish baby in the world, its not that hard to find a dradle stencil.)

Today I walked in unnoticed and went straight to the infant room. There was no one in there and at first I thought Maor had picked up Lea and forgot to tell me until I noticed her car seat. I was about to walk back out into the pre K room when I saw Lea sleeping in a take along swing that was sitting in a pack n play in the way back of the room.

I really wish I had taken a picture. I didnt even think of it till I got home. 

It just didnt seem safe at all in my mind. 

....not to mention that I was standing in the room for a good 3 minutes packing up her stuff and putting her in her car seat until someone walked in and said "Oh, how did you sneak past?"

So Ive left voice messages at every daycare from my house to work asking if they have openings.

I am really kinda pissed. I would say 80% of my paycheck...or probably more... goes to daycare because I put my foot down and told Maor we are going with facilities instead of at home because they are regulated but now Im feeling like that was a lot of wasted money.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a safe and fun New Years eve!

Maor and I stayed home, watched movies, and played backgammon. Cause we are rock stars like that.
