let me tell you about my awesome weekend. i babysat eliot on saturday, and it was loads of fun.
so if you are on my flickr, you've already seen the lilah/eliot pics, but if not, here is a vid i took:
so then after babysitting, i went to the local library's book club for "rebecca," one of my favorite books. (which consequently has sir laurence olivier, hottest ever) it was me and six 70 year olds, and i had the funnest/funniest time. i told chris about it and wish i had a better memory so i could commit to such some of the comments. (unrelated to the book) my favorite was:
"things changed a lot after twiggy"
also one of the ladies was talking about how the mayan calendar ends at 2012, and another lady was like "who knows if i'll make it to then!"
srsly can't wait to go to this surreal book club again. i'm not sure i'll love any of the other pics for the coming months (janet evanovich type stuff) but i can't imagine it not being a good time.

cd exchange was fun, and i kept with the "salacious behavior" theme. i even wore over-the-knee boots (note i didn't say "thigh high" -- they aren't, and these boots aren't even like that) and felt like old-timey erin. i'm sure chris thought i was a wee bit crazy dressing so "...", but i had such a shitty day and sometimes i like being a bit scan'lous and perhaps a bit inappropriate.
i had a zillion hair appts this weekend which kept me busy and then me and the lilah stayed over at my parents'. and monday, my car inspection. i can't take my car to the two places i like to go because they wouldn't pass it last time (it's not an old car, i am just shitty at upkeep) because of a crack in the windshield. it's a hairline crack and only on the passenger side, but whatever.
so i took it elsewhere and it needed so much shit done. normally i am cheap as shit and would balk and take my car elsewhere but god i had lilah with me and plans that night and was already past inspection trying to figure shit out. combine that with my dad telling me it was unsafe to drive it as it were? so $1300 later my car is fixed and inspected. being an adult stinks sometimes.

i support the writers' strike but MAN if pushing daisies is taken away from me i will be so beyond bummed. seriously, i have not been this invested in a show since joan of arcadia. (which i brooded about forever when it was canceled)
got wonderfalls from the library and stayed up till 2 last night watching it (and watched it during lilah's nap and now while they are at chris' parents). SO amazing.

i cut off all my hair and i can't say enough how amazing it feels. i feel like "me" again. chris even called me erin 1.0/old school erin (though not to be confused with erin 1.5 who was batshit)
here is me almost 10 years ago. so basically i look the same, just older. (for posterity, here is my hair about a month ago, taken before my high school reunion - note lilah pix in the background. ALSO i am wearing four inch heels yet we are still BFG).
things have been pretty good. not to sound totally suburban, but i found a playgroup near us and the other moms are really nice/laid back. i felt kind of "..." when a mom at a playground was telling me about it (because it is at a catholic church), but i am glad i checked my snobbery at the door. i didn't tell them that i am agnostic though, because i don't feel it's relevant. (and i don't think it's really going to come up in a conversation) i also met a new buddy and am glad she is less shy than i am and suggested hanging out.
tomorrow me and the lilah are going to the zoo with two good friends of mine from high school. i haven't been there since i was in 4th grade so i am excited.
in three more days it will be eight years that chris and i have been together. INTENSE!
