Happy Leap Year!

I couldn't let today go by without making a post..just because it's a leap year. That's the only novelty in it: to see the date say "February 29." Oddly enough, when I scan the mouse over the time/date on my computer, nothing comes up. I wonder why that is? Perhaps it just means my computer is going to blow up, or it's the end of the world. Meh.

As history tells it, St. Patrick would only allow women to propose to men on this day. Every other day of every other year, the men had to do it. This is where the idea of "Sadie Hawkins" day came about. That's about it for the history lesson. If you want more you can Google it, I'm busy.
I put this little picture up just because I call Mason "Goofy"..long story, but it reminds me of him :)

Celebrate!

It's Mackey's Birthday!

Dear Mackey,

In ancient times when someone special had a birthday, it was customary to make a virgin sacrifice. I'd love to do that for you, but I'm really sorry that I can't. I've already sacrificed my virginity to one of the lesser Gods.

Happy Birthday anyway!

Love, Sass

I've been making a mental list of things I want to do (I guess once I write them out, they are no longer mental right?). Nothing major, but they are for me.

1. Lasik eye surgery. I wan to be done with glasses contacts!! Actually, very few people have seen me in my goggles, but I can't be without my contacts. Such a pain in the ass.

2. Get a proper bra fitting. This will have to be done once I'm done feeding my child... The girls must be lifted and separated or I fear I might accidentally sit on one of them one day.

3. Get my teeth whitened. I don't think they are that bad. I don't smoke or drink coffee, but I do drink tea. Besides, a whiter, brighter smile makes you look younger (can you tell I watch a lot of those makeover shows?).

4. Change my hair. It's long. It's thin-ish. It's curly. I need a change. I just don't know what yet. I still want some length and maybe I should colour these virgin locks. I'm sick of pulling it back while I'm at home. There is just too much of it to deal with.

So yeah..that's it. My list. 3 of the 4 are easily doable...just when I don't know.

Random Mason shots:

He discovered his hands a couple weeks ago. They fascinate him to no end. He stares at them for 15 minutes at a time.

Smile!

Only from Exile...

Uncle Exile came by to see Mason just before the new year. He came bearing a gift. Knowing Exile, I was a little worried as to what it may be...

Don't let the crying fool you...he means it. Brin' it!

Thanks Ex! We love it!! The perfect amount of sass for Baby Sass.

We've hit a new low around here

When we moved into this house we banished the dog to eat in the garage. He had started to drag his kibble around the house which was driving me to drink. So off into the garage he went where he could make a mess if he wanted and I could care less. The other night we let him into the garage at about 6:00 to eat his dinner. At 9:00 I heard him crunching away on something in the kitchen. To our shock and complete horror the damn dog had puked up his dinner (from 3 hours ago) and was re-eating it 'with the family.' Sick.

I did note a few things though:
1. He really doesn't chew his food.
2. Why was the food still crunchy after 3 hours in the stomach?
3. I knew where the left over carrots from dinner went.

I almost stopped him from eating it, but it occurred to me that I'd just have to clean it up...so he finished as I gagged watching him...then I cleaned the floor. I clean enough puke around here I don't need to add dog puke to the list.

Oh happy day...erm... night

He slept from 9pm until 6am.
Oh happy am I!
Now sweetie, let's do this every night okay?

This one's for G-man!

Just because awhile ago G-man had mentioned something about a Metallica onsie when I had posted a picture of Mason with a mohawk. This was actually a gift from Auntie Hella. He finally fits in it...he weighs a whopping 11.2 lbs now!
Check it out:


Here's another one...it cracks me up. He's too cute. This is from Binsk:


Please note that the gift from EXILE deserves it's own post and picture spot..so stay tuned. I also need some time to get it off the camera.....it's a doozy!

Update :)

First, thanks to everyone who kept checking back, sent me hugs, called or emailed me or even just thought of us.
Mason is doing great. We went to see the pediatric cardiologist on Thursday. He did a bunch of tests and ultrasounds. He has a physiological heart murmur. Bottom line is it's not serious at all. It's a result of a valve not closing completely in his transition from being in-utero to being in the 'real' world. I could go into all the medical mumble jumble to explain it, but what's the point? He should outgrow it. We have to go back in 2 years to be checked out again. It seems so far away, but I'm sure it will fly by.
Tomorrow he goes to the family doctor to check up on his weight. Which is fine. Thanks you Cori for the wonderful websites and support you offered. It really helped. I guess I was just a little overwhelmed with everything.

Oh happy day!
