Shopping with Liam

Usually shopping with Liam consists of following behind him and putting back whatever he picks up, or taking things out of his hands. Sometimes, it is entertaining, as long as I don't plan on getting any shopping done.  Like a recent trip to get towels.
 


I take a quick look at Liam and there he is trying to figure out how to put on a yellow and black, polka-dot halter-top bikini.
Hmmm.. we're not in the main aisle, so noone can really see him.
I'll just let him play for a bit, so I can look around.
I look back.  Oh my, he's got the neck under one arm and one of the cups on his shoulder.  That's funny!

I look at the bottoms that go with the tunic top I've been looking at.  Oh good grief! Pull-on, elastic-waist pants?! I need to get a life!

We move on to towels after he gets tired playing around with the bikini top.

" You have to come down from there."
"Why?"
"Well this isn't a playground. These shelves aren't for climbing.  They can't take your weight."

 "Why?"
"Well honey, those shelves are not meant for you to climb on, they are meant for towels."

I look around (I do a lot of that), no assistant in sight.

"Ok, only to the second shelf."
"Ok, only to the next one and no more."
"Ok, that's the last one."

You get the picture.  Eventually I get him to leave his "ladder" because the towels are safe and do not need to be rescued by fire fighter Liam.

On our way out:


"Stop it honey, the clothes are supposed to stay on the model."
I hastily pull back up the panty on the underwear mannequin and look around.
Wheww, nobody nearby to think my little 2-year old is a pervert.
I mean, it's not his fault, the height is just what he can reach!

Well, I didn't actually get any towels on that trip, but all in all, he seemed to have a good time.

Best Groom's Response Ever!

20 Years ago "On behalf of my most beautiful wife, Sally and myself, I'd like to thank you all for being here today. Special thanks go to all those of you who have worked very hard to make and arrange this event and to those of you who have traveled very long and very far to be here today. You may have noticed, on the outside, Sally and I are very different and have different backgrounds; but on the inside, Sally and I are very alike. We can relate to how each other thinks and feels - which is why we are here today. So, on behalf of my wife Sally and myself, I would like to thank Allah for bringing two like souls together despite the outer appearances, and I would also like to thank both our families for accepting the new family member so kindly despite the outer differences." True then as it is now. The paper he is holding? My hubby's hand-written notes from 20 years ago: But you want wedding pictures right?  Outside the mosque, be...

Job Search2: Networking etiquette..

On which I have a few ideas.  As my husband keeps telling me, I won't get a job by spending hours in front of the computer submitting applications to online job postings.  The best use of any job-seeker's time is spent talking to friends and acquaintances and letting them know that you are looking for a job and what your skills and interests are. So here is what I found tricky about networking: How hard to push?  Working parents are busy, so if I asked a friend, who is a working parent, about a position I had seen at their company, do I ask a second time? How soon after? And what if there is another position - do I talk about that too?  If that friend is very enthusiastic about getting more information for me on a post then I hear nothing, what then?  Is it realistic to think they'll get back to me?  I find it difficult to broach the topic again.  I might ask a second time but for me there is no third time. What do I trade in return? In the net...

About those peeps

I've previously blogged about my state trying to find a group of girlfriends here in Austin , so I thought I'd provide an update on my quest to surround myself with peeps who are actually available to go to the neighbourhood coffee shop and sit down and chat.  Well, I had made friends with another mom whose son had just started at Lucas' new school.  We would try to have a chat, without children, once a week. Well, they decided to move to Utah after the first term.  Another mom I met through my mom's group who I would meet up separately with and actually have a conversation about what is going on in life, moved too. Not out of state, but far enough where I can't meet her for coffee either.  Hmmmmm. So, my plan has been to crash other peoples' socials.  I went to a playgroup I didn't belong to but was being hosted by a neighbour, that worked out just great!  A little social time, play time for Liam.  I invited another neighbour out to see a movie...on...
