I read this article which mentions Lady Gaga's first CD purchased with her own money. I was horrible. I totally refused to make the conversion to CDs. I loved my little tape player. However, eventually, I just had to bite the bullet. My first CD was The Cranberries Everybody Else Is Doing It. Oh, the irony. Hm, I think that's irony. Stupid Alanis Morisette has ruined the concept forever. I am not sure I still have the CD. It's actually doubtful, but if I do, it's purely for sentimental reasons.

Weekend Update - Wedding Bells
Last weekend, Little Miss and I were in a wedding. So, Thursday, Little Miss and I drove to the airport to pick up a fellow bridesmaid. Then, we dropped Little Miss at school. We ate a quick breakfast and then three bridesmaids and the bride went to get our nails done. We also had a nice lunch and went shoe shopping - quite a lovely day. On Friday, we traveled to Pennsylvania for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. It was a nice evening. Little Miss was very good. She was very confortable with everybody.
On Saturday, Little Miss joined the ladies and got her hair and make up done. Then, she got to ride in her first limo. The women toasted with flutes of champagne and Little Miss had a juice box. Here is a picture from the limo:

After the wedding, we had pictures taken on the golf course. Little Miss wanted to come because it was her chance to ride in a golf cart. So, the groomsman was very patient dealing with me in a long dress and a toddler. Plus, he kindly made sure the seat was dry for us which I appreciated. While we took pictures, Little Miss decided it was her chance to run as far as she could while all of the bridal party was occupied. She took off in the middle of the course so I had to hike up the skirt and try not to destroy the course with my 4" heels. I'm thoroughly thrilled that Father-in-Law captured this moment on video, too. I can still hear Little Miss's giggles. She knows I hate to run.
It was a fun reception. Little Miss ate like a champ and then, before the music started, fell fast asleep. She spent the evening with the In-Laws while Husband and I got to party and sleep late. Then, we all went to brunch the next morning and wished the bride and groom well. Good time had by all!

Husband's Favorite Story
While the Husband's hockey team was still in the Playoffs for the Stanley Cup, I was talking with him. So, I was going on and on about something wildly important and Husband's eyes were starting to glaze over while he wondered how long he had to pretend to listen before he could give the 1% of attention given to me back to the game. So, Little Miss turned to me and said "Mommy, stop talking!" Husband then laughed as if she took the words right out of his mouth.

Weekend Update - Mother's Day
On Friday night, we cleaned like crazy people. On Saturday morning, I drove Little Miss to my parents' house so she could spend the weekend with them while we held our Fourth Annual Kentucky Derby Party. We played drinking games, watched the Derby, ate a lot and watched the Pacquiao/Mosley fight. A good time seemed to be had by all.
On Sunday, we went to pick up Little Miss from my parents' house. As a thank you, my sister and I took my parents out to dinner. Dinner was great and the kids were good - though restless towards the end. It was a good Mother's Day.

Miss Moon
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but Little Miss always calls the moon "Miss Moon". It's always exciting to her to see the moon. It's especially exciting for her to see Miss Moon during the day. The other week, it was a big full moon so we rushed her out to the balcony to see. She gasped and looked up and said "She's so beautiful!"

Plays Well with Others - NOT
Little Miss rarely talks about school. We try to prompt her often. The other week, she was saying how two girls in her class are mean to her. I thought this was unusual so I asked why she thought they didn't like her. It's been so long that I'm only sorry I don't remember the exact details, but it finally came out that the little girls said "no" to her because she stole their toys. Awesome. So, I have the big, fat, demanding bully in school.

Weekend Update - Bowling
Two weekends ago, it was supposed to be a quiet weekend, but we ended up doing quite a bit. I'll see if I can jog my memory and remember what we did. On Friday, I met a friend after work for a drink and a movie.
On Saturday, Little Miss and I went to my parents' house, I believe. If I recall correctly, the kids played very well together. It was a quick visit. After, we went grocery shopping and head home.
