The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful

My mother’s day weekend was OK. Not good, merely fine. We spent the weekend at the farm and even got to spend a good amount of time with my dad. My daughter was wonderful, although she had no idea what day it was. My husband didn’t forget about the day AND bought me a gift. I was able to have a nice dinner with Lu’s grandmother and some other family members. And I finally got to meet gorgeous baby Carson, which was so fun. I swear, seeing your big, bearded husband cuddling with a seven pound baby is enough to make your uterus explode!

Unfortunately there was a good amount of sadness as well. I won’t get into all the details here, but let’s just say the weekend ended with tears for several different reasons. If you check out my Twitter feed, you can see some of the more trivial reasons. The serious ones were a bit much to be Twittering about.

Thursday, before I set off on my weekend excursion, I drug my daughter and poor, innocent, hungover Mikayla all around KC to take some two-year-old photos of Lu. I really wanted to show the urban, lively part of the city, so even after we move to the horrid suburbs, Lu can look back and know she was once a city kid. Some of my favorites are embedded below, and there is a slideshow at the bottom of this post. You can view the entire set of photos here.

Lucy's Tounge
This one is my favorite. I LOVE the colors and the whole mood of the photo. Classic Lucy. Taken on Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri.

Lucy & The KC Skyline
This is another personal favorite, although I’m sure not everyone will like it. I really like the motion within the photo and the skyline of Kansas City in the background. Seems very urban, but sweet at the same time. Taken at the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri.

City Girl
This is the photo that will go to the grandparents. Sweet, a little grungy, but full of sugar. Taken on Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri.

Check out the entire set below. Seriously, do it. There are a ton of good shots and I think it shows what a beautiful city we live in. Oh, and the model was pretty cute as well.

I’m out of the Internet for the next few days. I have a business trip that will quickly turn to pleasure when I FINALLY get to meet baby Carson! I’m so excited to hear little squeaking baby noises and smell yummy baby scents. It will be a nice change from toddler screaming and the smell of a poopy diaper that has been removed and thrown about the house. I probably won’t blog much, as it’s been a tough few weeks and I need some alone time to reflect and relax. Don’t worry, I will probably return on Monday with something new to complain about.

I will, however, be Twittering the entire weekend. Because I’m getting a new phone and I think I am addicted to the Internet. Do they have a rehab for that? Whatever. I can quit any time! I swear!

You can find me on Twitter here or you can just check out my progress on this site underneath my favorite photos on the left hand side of the page.

Crazybananas, out!

Tuesday Linkfest Fun

Hi, I’m Megan. And my brain hurts. I blame my mother, my sister, the four kids I was “parent” to this weekend, that mean-ass ho-bag who betrayed my best friend and my husband’s finger for being way too trigger happy with the bleach. And also, both Cory Fedlman and Corey Haim.

So today I’m going to share with you readers reader a few links you need to visit. Ready, set, GO!

Rock, Paper…Dance Off! – I need someone to try this with me. It’s a variation on the classic game of rock, paper, scissors and looks way too fun. I want to drink lemonade and wear snap bracelets and do this. I obviously need more of a social life.

Thank A Stranger – This site made me smile today. It’s a place where you can anonymously thank someone who did something nice for you. Restored some (and I mean some) of my faith in humanity. Can you find my entry?

In Miley’s Defense – Are you extremely upset about the Vanity Fair photos of teen Disney star Miley Cyrus? Geez, get a life. And read this. An exerpt:

Frankly, when you consider her progenitors — Britney in her panties in Rolling Stone at seventeen, Hilary Duff posing for Maxim, and LiLo actually topless in Vanity Fair itself a few years ago — Miley hit this milestone with a minimum of titillation. A simple backless portrait taken in the presence of her parents or minders by a respected female photographer — without a single nip slip or sultry licked lip in sight — is practically a Puritanical achievement.

Mo Rocca 180 – Tim Gunn’s Guide to Polygamist Style – Yes, he’s making fun of a very sad situation. Feel better now? Good. Now laugh your ass off.

OK, people. Good afternoon, good evening and good night. Happy surfing!
