We had a truly awesome day. We did a lot of shopping, but not too much. Just enough to provide us with an adequate supply of cool stuff to start the new year, but not enough to spend every penny we had. LilZ bought some Chuck Taylor’s and I bought an Edgar Allen Poe collection. What more do you need to complete the cliche alternative family portrait? All we need now is a token vegan in the family and we’ll be golden.
I have so many things I want to discuss: My resolutions, my new bookshelves, the return of NikkiZ to her old daycare and my sudden taste for milk (I’m not going to be the token vegan). All of these things will make fantabulous blog entries (especially the one about milk…it’s a page-turner) but right now? I’m so damn tired my eyes hurt. LilZ is still modeling all of his new clothes so I’m trying to stay awake long enough to see the rest of that (how many long sleeve thermals does a boy really need?) - but then? I’m out for the night.
I had a fantastic day with a kid that is so far beyond awesome that I often wonder how in the hell I got so lucky. If I believed in God I’d thank him every day for blessing me with a son who continues to be one of my best friends. But since I don’t, I’ll just go to bed with a smile on my face, and I’ll be sincerely grateful to have him in my life.
Sounds like you guys had a great day! But, what I am really writing to tell you is…they moved Friday Night Lights to Wednesday starting this week. Just an FYI.
E really is a very cool kid
Thanks for sharing bits and pieces of him via blog.
(Hi E!)
Sounds like a great (and tiresome) day!
Um… how is FRIDAY night lights on WEDNESDAY? Weird.
Sounds like you two had a great time. What a wonderful tradition! Makes me want to start one like that with my boys.
You probably have explained this but what does E/K stand for? I read it as Eeeeek day, like not a good thing, but it really must be. Then I thought it might be Little Z initial and your initial, I think your name is Kim. Is that right?
I love your stories about LilZ. Not to sound corny or stalkerish, but it makes me want kids, like NOW.
Damn those token vegans.
What a great photo of you two. I’m glad you two have your special day to spend together.
