not dead yet!
Oh, Internet, I owe you an apology — you’re so nice to me, and how do I repay you? By vanishing for weeks on end. Okay days on end. Whatever.
I’m out of here until after the new year — I have kids to play with and house guests to clean up after and iPhones to buy and learn to use.
Happy New Year, Internet. I love each and every one of you. Come back next week for stories of Christmas joy, like how Henry ate turkey and Charlie has stopped wearing underwear.
I’m sure you can hardly wait.

Laundry list, because the ACTUAL laundry is taking over my house and must be dealt with ASAP.
1. I am going to hire my father to come edit for me at my five million various blogs, because ONLY HE caught the ginormous typo in my last post. I have left it there for your reading pleasure (and also to test you because COME ON PEOPLE!). Good luck!
2. HeatherB is gone, after two days of living the Suburban Mommy life, which consisted of brunch out, a manicure and pedicure, a trip to SuperTarget, watching Backyardigans with the kids, Christmas shopping at a local antiques store, a playdate with my fabulous next door neighbor, and dinner and drinks with Shana and Whoorl. Feel free to imagine that EVERY SINGLE DAY of my life is JUST LIKE THAT.
3. We’re celebrating the Winter Solstice with a high of 67. Chris, that’s for you.
4. I got my hair cut this week. Somehow my stylist heard “leave the length but do lots of texture” as “MULLETMULLETMULLET.” It’s fine right now but in a couple of weeks I will look like an extra from Talladega Nights. If you live in the Oklahoma City Metro and have a stylist you really REALLY love, shoot me an email because I’m looking. Again. Dammit.
5. I ran into my friend Laura at the grocery last weekend; she said, “I have a new favorite mascara, thanks to you!” And that reminded me that I have something to TELL you about the L’Oreal Lash Out mascara! And then I forgot again! And now I am remembering! I’m still loving the Lash Out, BUT — the first tube I had dried out awfully fast (maybe because I didn’t QUITE get the cap on all the way one day, but still) and it was smudging a little, probably because I’ve been mixing a teeny bit of eye cream with my concealer. So I’ve switched to the waterproof formula, which I’m very very happy with, and I’m screwing the cap on Extra Tight every day.
And I think that’s everything! Or nothing, depending on your perspective. Either way, I’m all done now because that laundry’s not doing itself, apparently.
