Wanna see...

When I picked Bug up from school yesterday she was wearing a tank top and shorts... This was odd for two reasons. 1) When she went to school she was wearing a dress and 2) She will only wear dresses these days! Ok, so reason #1 is not too weird but there was nothing spilled on her dress and there were no panties that needed to be cleaned, that is what made it odd. When we got home I was cleaning out her bag and I tossed her dress into the laundry and I asked Bug...
"Did you spill something on your dress today?"
"No, I show my friends my big girl pants and my teacher put shirt and shorts on me"
Now, I don't know about you but my Bug likes to tell stories. Not that this was unbelievable, it was completely believable and that kinda worried me, and also I guess I never noticed this behavior before.
So, this morning when I took her to school I saw her teacher and asked about it. She confirmed Bug's story, my tiny flasher. The only other question I had was if it was just her panties she was showing and her teacher wasn't sure... I really have my hands full with this one!

New old friends...

So, this weekend I took Bug down to the local spring festival. It was a beautiful day once the clouds went away. We shared a gyro, got her face (actually hand) painted, looked at toys, balloons, books, and clothes. We listened to music and even watched ballerinas. Once she was getting antsy in the stroller (I laid down the rules before we got there) we were off to the kiddie area... there were rumors of inflatable gyms and a petting zoo!
We petted the goats and rabbits, listened to a donkey "Hee-Haw", and even rode on a pony... exciting times. Then, next stop... the inflatable playground to give her the final 1-2 knock out to seal the deal for nap time. Don't worry, this isn't about the inflatable playground (my mind drifts... imagine what an adult one would be like... insert devilish smirk then return to reality). Bug is running around like a crazy woman high on life and I am attempting to keep up with her. While she is on one of the bouncers I notice a woman and a man standing close by and they look really familliar. And this time I take a chance (read earlier post about the gym), "Excuse me? Are you Whitney?" "MB?" "OMG! How are you...." And you can figure out the rest. But I had run into a girlfriend of mine from high school and the last time I saw her it was post college years and pre marriage years... for both of us!
Well we chit chatted and come to find out we both have kids the same age and we are both seperated. She has six months under her belt to my year. Here is the funny thing... she is seeing the same guy from high school. Whats so funny about that, right? Well, I lost my virginity in his grandparents house the night of my boyfriend's Junior Prom. That is what was so funny! Talk about a trip down memory lane.
Anyway, I met up with her and some others that night and had a blast! We laughed about the old times and caught up some on the the time in between. She toasted to nNew Friends, I had to correct her... "Here's to New Old Friends!" Life is funny that way.

Making new friends...

So I went out with my cousin J last night... What fun! After discussing the evening's events on the way home (at 2am) we both came to the conclusion that this arrangement seems to be working well. Two single gals out on the town and we always seem to have some kind of adventure (luckily, they have only been the good ones so far). Anyway, we went downtown. Why not? She had to pick up a gift down there any so we may as well kill two birds with one stone.

First stop- The Greene Turtle for snacks. Interesting crowd and good crab dip but not a place to stay for most of the night.

Next stop- Max's on Broadway. Great place for beer! When we went in it wasn't too crowded, cozy not shoulder to shoulder. It was nice and we were hopeful to maybe even score a seat... No such luck. Instead we settled for a ledge off to the side with a great view of the bar, perfect for people watching. Moments later we had someone asking us to join he and his friend. What the heck? Why not! We could always leave.

Come to find out they were passing through town on their way back to DC from PA on business and decided to stop in Baltimore. We had a good time hanging out. I love making new friends.

Third (and last) stop- The Waterfront Hotel (aka- the bar they used when they filmed the "Homicide" TV series) Very crowded, good music, good atmosphere... the downer- hard to get to the , oh well, it was late already. Will Hill was playing, pretty good band, I was impressed!

All in all it was a fun night, no angry bachlorettes or obnoxious drunks so that was good! It even looks like J and I my venture to DC for and evening and meet up with our new friends. Another adventure!!
