Labor of Love

I don’t mean to brag, but I capped off July 2009 with QUITE a productive week.  I finally dragged my butt to the nail salon to get a much-needed mani-pedi.  Scrubbed off the tomato sauce that had exploded in our microwave.  And what else…?  Oh yeah, that’s right!  I had a baby.

Deep Thoughts by a New Mom and Baby

Jul 30, 2009 | Filed Under: Candy's Column | Tags: ,

DELIRIOUS NEW MOM:  Cute kid.  Wonder who it belongs to?

DISAPPOINTED NEW BABY:  I traveled all the way down the freakin’ birth canal and all I got was this stupid hat.
