Living in Boxes
Ok so we’ve lived here for almost 6 months now, and we were all settled in nicely, it was great. Then about 2 weeks ago Brandon and I were thinking a bigger bed would be nice (we had a queen) so upgrading to a king, we’d have more room (Brandon kicks in his sleep). So… we decided to get one, but we wanted to sell or make sure our queen bed would sell. So I posted it on craigslist.com (for those of you who live in urban areas CHECK IT OUT!!!!) and what do you know, I sold it pretty quick. Well in the meantime I have ordered our new frame and mattress, but too bad for us it won’t be arriving for a few more days, so we are sleeping on an air mattress on the floor. I shouldn’t complain it is quite comfy. Here is where the story gets even better, I bought these really cool contemporary pieces of furniture a few years ago, they were great, a lingerie chest and a bench that went at the end of our bed. and with a king sized bed these aren’t going to fit that well, and lets face it Brandon and I have too much stuff anyway, so I decided to post those as well, thinking they would take several days/weeks to sell just like the bed did. Well I got a call about 20 min after I posted them and she wanted to come by in a half an hour. Ok so I have 7 drawers worth of stuff, with no place to go. Our livingroom is full of boxes and storage and such that came from underneath our bed (we had a platform bed, and we are getting a new platform bed, they are great for storage). So it feels like we have just moved in all over again. Wanna know something funny? This will be our forth bed since we have gotten married, we haven’t even been married that long, I certainly hope this bed is going to be here to stay!!!! I can’t handle it anymore, we should have just bought a king right away, neither one of us likes to be touched in our sleep. I remember when I used to be able to sleep in a twin bed with another person, I must have been out of my mind!!!

It’s great to have four days off a week, today Aiden and I went to visit Brandon at work and meet him for lunch. It’s nice because he can’t ever come to see me for lunch because of my days at work, who knows when or if I get a chance to sit down for lunch. But Brandon’s schedule isn’t quite as demanding, so Aiden and I try to come down once a week, or maybe once every 2 weeks to see him. Aiden loves it, it’s so cute to ask him, “Aiden, you wanna go see daddy?” and he just lights up. Aiden is definitely a mamma’s boy, but he loves his daddy a lot too. As Aiden gets older I can see more and more of the things that he likes, infact I have a list of the top ten things on Aiden’s favorites. The best part? They are all pretty much the same as Brandon’s. The Apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree.
10. Nap time
9. Eating, meals, in between meals, or back to another meal
8. Watching TV
7. Playing with the nearest laptop or cellphone
6. Flirting with Pretty ladies
5. Car Rides
4. Shopping trips
3. Opening drawers and not closing them
2. Hanging out with mommy and daddy
And top of the list…..
Drumroll please….
1. BOOBIES!!!!!
So now you all know that the men in my life like the best, I can’t guarantee that Brandon loves them all in the same order as Aiden, but it’s probably not too far off.
Today Aiden and I went to this great farmers market in Culver City, it’s only open on tuesday afternoons, but it is very nice, and there were lots of people, and lots of vendors. Aiden loves watching people, especially if they look different or are dressed different than what he usually sees. I used to worry when he would intently stare at Indians (from India) and Black people, but I got over it.. I think he just finds them facinating because they are different. He also enjoys staring at the raggedy hairy hippie people on Venice beach. I always wonder what he is thinking when he sees people like that. Who knows I guess? Well…. Until we meet again.

I haven’t posted in nearly 2 weeks, I have been busy. It’s a Saturday afternoon and I just got Aiden down for a nap, Brandon is in the other room playing video games, and I am watching Maria Full of Grace, so far it’s pretty good, it’s all in Spanish with subtitles. It’s about a girl who loses her job and decides to carry drugs across the border for cash, it’s a little creepy. I posted a bunch of new photos of Aiden in the last couple of days they are soooo cute!!! Candice is the girl who takes care of Aiden, and she had her maternity photo’s done and she took Aiden with her and the photographer took some amazing shots of Aiden too.
I discovered that Aiden has this extreme facination with the bathroom. He loves taking baths and showers, but now it he likes to follow whomever goes in there. I hope that this facination lasts and that he will be easy to potty train.
On Wednesday Brandon, Aiden and I went down to Venice beach to take a walk and see the sights, it was fun. I never realzed how many psychics, hippies & peddlers there were down there. Did you know you can buy a bong in a store? I had no idea, apparently they are for tobacco too, so that makes them legal. Next weekend we want to take a trip down there again and rent bikes, and ride around, it should be fun. I just need to remember the sunscreen.
