Flying High.

So here's the thing...

I've driven past many a destination. Hell, I've even gone past the exit for work (more times than I actually care to admit) because I've been daydreaming, singing, or just plain not paying attention.

But for the love of all things cheesy, HOW DO YOU OVERSHOOT YOUR DESTINATION IN AN AIRPLANE BY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILES?!?

I'm never flying again.

Well, except to CT. Because I flat out refuse to drive that again. And let's be honest, if they overshoot that one, the worst I can do is land in Florida. And that's not really that bad.

Right?

Monday ALREADY?!

The weekend was delish.

We literally did nothing.

As in, I didn't even shower until about 3 p.m. yesterday.

This weekend begins the ramp-up for holiday/wedding madness, so we relished in it as long as we could.

Happy Monday!

The Best Is Yet To Come...

Greetings, readers. Happy Saturday morning to you.

The fine people from the CSN group of stores contacted me last week about doing a product review for their baby division, http://www.csnbaby.com/. Apparently they got the memo that ABM3 was the most kickass blog on the block, and they wanted in.

Or, they just knew I was a sucker for free stuff. Either way, I'm not arguing.

I've spent some time researching their product offering (which includes baby furniture, nursery decor and baby gear) to make sure they were worthy of a prestigious ABM3 review. So far, I'm very pleased with their range of products and the prices seem to be competitive.

My mailbox is dancing in anticipation. And like my Momma always told me, "Honesty is the best policy." So, CSN, it better be good!

Check 1, 2, 3.

Alex had his 6 month checkup on Monday. He's still as awesome as ever and growing like a weed.

6 Month Checkup - Weight: 17 lbs. 5.5 oz (50th %ile); Length: 27 in. (75th %ile); Head: 44 cm. (50th %ile)
4 Month Checkup - Weight: 14 lbs. 10 oz. (50th %ile); Length: 25 in. (50th %ile); Head: 42.1 cm. (25/50th %ile)

My little porker is officially in all his 6-9 month clothes and some of the 6-12 ones from Old Navy are just starting to fit. Most of his pants make him look like he's waiting for the Great Flood of 2009 because his legs are so long.

This weekend's "to do" list includes boxing up all his 3-6 mo. clothes. But since summer was so mild, he probably has ~20 uber cute short-sleeved outfits with the tags still on. I feel so wasteful...but I'll keep them around in case we decide to produce more spawn, otherwise I plan to make a killing at a future Mom2Mom sale.

He has 2 Halloween costumes (you remember the peapod one?). The other is a surprise...but I pinky promise I'll be posting pics. And before you even ask, hells yes he is going trick or treating! I can pour some Pixy Stix in his bottle and Joe and I can fight over the rest.

Drumroll Please...

Thanks to all for your entries! I'm still absolutely befuddled that this blog gets hundreds of unique hits every day, but the giveaway generated only 59 entries from 27 people (1 of which was MY OWN HUSBAND). I mean, really...do you others not understand that it's FREE STUFF?! As in, you type some words, hit enter and click a mouse for a totally legit chance to win stuff...no strings attached? Perhaps I'm in the minority with my addiction to free. Ah, well. Better odds for those that entered, I guess. :)

Without further adieu, the winners** of ABM3's first anniversary giveaway are:

GRAND PRIZE: Miss Pretty from Pretty Woman (and classy too!)

FIRST PRIZE: Jamie from Living Life. One Blonde Moment at a Time.

SECOND PRIZE: Kristen from WalderWeb

Ladies, please send me an email at kveedub{at}gmail{dot}com by Friday to claim your prize!

**If I was any good at legal copy, I would rattle on here with some big 5-syllable words about how I assigned every entry a unique number and used a random number generator to fairly determine the results. And, had Joe's number actually come up, I assure you he would have been disqualified.

Thursday Just Got Better.

Anyone got 15 bucks? Want a Wii?

Perhaps it's the English nerd in me, but my eyes are basically a spellcheck and grammar machine. My personal fave? When stores advertise things for 0.99¢. Do they realize that as written, they're offering product for LESS THAN 1 penny? I actually handed a guy a penny once and and asked for change for a 0.99¢ Snickers Bar. He didn't get it.

Anyway, I was just perusing Wally World's website and came across this gem:



Do you think they have to honor that price? I mean, really. Who hired their web editors?

Thursday ≠ Friday.

Until this very moment, I was certain that today was Friday. Eff. It's only Thursday.

As I continue to go about my day, attempting to pick up the pieces of disappointment scattered all over my life, amuse yourselves by entering Clemsongirl's giveaway. Cute stuff!

And speaking of giveaways, the winners of mine will be announced this afternoon. Good luck!
