Susie's Leaning Tower of Chocolate for 2007 August 1

(1) Wed Aug 01 2007 09:01 Target Rant: I love Target but I am so annoyed at their return policy right now. Yesterday I tried to return something that I had a receipt for, had paid for on my credit card, and was listed as a received item on Maggie's registry and they wouldn't take it back because it had been more than 90 days.

Then they tried to get me to return it on my ID and I said no. They don't even tell you that you can only return two things on your ID per year, and do you really want one of those to be this little thing? Boo.

Wed Aug 01 2007 09:11 Rice Cereal Surprise: Yesterday Maggie had a doctor's appointment. The doctor said we can start her on solids anytime. I bought a box of rice cereal at Target (for 50 cents). I think we will wait awhile though. I am thinking of waiting until after our trip to Utah.

I don't really get what the big deal is about feeding her cereal. Both our book and the doctor talked about taking pictures and video taping! Video taping her not eating?

I am realizing the truth of my family never been this easy to feed again. Also, not looking forward to stinkier diapers. Having a baby is complicated enough and she is already growing up too fast. I think we'll wait a bit.

Maggie weighed in at 14 lbs 6 oz, two ounces shy of doubling her birth weight. She'll make it there by 5 months.

(2) Wed Aug 01 2007 09:28 In Honor of Our 4th Anniversary: Let's talk about how great my husband is.

1. The very most wonderful thing about him (right now) is that he gets up with Maggie in the morning so that I can sleep in. She woke up so early today that she fell asleep again at 8:45.
2. He works super hard at his often frustrating and unappreciative job.
3. He is the world's most awesomest daddy.
4. He plans lots of fun outings for us.
5. He's put up with me for 4 years.
6. He's really cute!

We went to the fair last night with free tickets someone gave us (fairground neighbors get 20 free tickets for the noise, traffic and general bother.) We still had to pay to park, and we also bought corndogs and a funnel cake. We were there less than two hours. Maggie enjoyed the nice walk around and people watching and we enjoyed looking at the fine art. We are going out later this week for our anniversary sans Maggie as well.
