  • Summer has snuck up once again on me and my giant ass.


    Almost summer.... How does that even happen? The last time I looked at a calendar it was March. I guess that's what happens when you sit around all day and the only person you talk to is a baby...? Hmm. I should get out more. My daughter is 8 months old! It is so nuts... I cannot believe how huge she is. She has a little tooth she just finally cut, and she scoots around our living room floor and she is just a little shit, now more than ever. It's great. I'm so happy. Back to summer though, I'm pretty scared. I have to go bathing suit shopping and all that crap, it's really ridiculous. I just realized all my clothes are black and I don't own ANY shorts? What the hell happened..... Oh, right, I gave birth and my body turned into one fatty gigantic stretch mark. I'm serious, I have nightmares about miniskirts and short shorts. And me in them. Ha. And now I have to go get fitted for a dress this weekend because I am a bridesmaid in one of my good friends' wedding this summer. I hate that idea, because most dresses at this place are like 7 sizes bigger than what you actually wear and that just does not sound like its going to be a very confidence-boosting experience for me. Oh well.
    I think I'm exaggerating. Everyone in my family has been telling me I think I'm fat in my head and not really... Which, whether or not that's true... Well, whatever. I've actually been tanning and walking hours and hours and exercising and I actually feel pretty good. It's just funny, the title of this post is from an e-card that I sent my mom last week. I thought it was great. I laughed so hard. But you know, overall the experience of one summer being skinny, the next being super pregnant and then the next... well, like this, ha is just a little traumatic. Having a child is so nuts and the way your body and mind and everything changes is certainly enough of an excuse for me to joke around about having a fat ass. :D

    Anyway, Adrien is doing wonderful. She is so beautiful! And funny. I can't wait for her to start walking and talking, and that way at least I won't feel half as crazy while I'm sitting around making conversations all morning... But yeah. It is mind-blowing all the stuff they do, every day, that is new. Even the littlest thing, you freak out over. Like right now, this is something she just started doing a week or so ago, she'll wake up from her nap and just get up into a sitting position and play... She doesn't cry at all or anything, she wakes up and makes little noises like she's talking to the bears and hippo and bunny and everyone in her crib. It is so cute! And she points at stuff and babbles and also when she gets pissed she'll be flapping her arms around and all of a sudden she locks them in place, clenches her fists and shrieeeks. It is hilarious.

    Being a wife is still great too. Haha, I say that as if I was expecting it to get really terrible by now or something. My husband is amazinggg. He's funny and cute and well, my best friend. I feel bad though sometimes because he comes home from work and I'm all stir-crazy and on bad days I can just go off like a raging bitch, but he seems to balance me out pretty well. Most of all, we have fun. Last weekend we were playing drinking games with some friends and him and I played a side game of Quarters for oral sex, and he won. Then the next day when he was bringing it up I told him I was blacked out and had no idea what he was talking about(lie), and he said "Shut up Karina, don't be an indian-giver." Hahaha. I laughed so hard, when was the last time someone called you that? 3rd grade? It was pretty funny.

    Anyways, I should go. My daughter knows when her 20 minutes of playtime is over after naptime and she's making those really loud, long-winded talking noises that basically mean Hey-get-your-ass-in-here-and-change-my-diaper..... NOW. Ha. But, I won't wait months and months to post again though- don't worry! :]]

  • Everyone loves a fresh start.


    Ahh, the joys of moving. Having to pack up all every last damn thing you own in various-sized liquor store boxes and haul it fifteen minutes away to the next place you're going to live at for 6 months. That is my idea of a good time. Umm, not. Ha I can't stand moving. Don't get me wrong, I love change. I get bored with my surroundings too fast for anyone's good. But what I want to know is, why must I go through the horrifying depths of my closet for this? All that shit is obviously shoved way back in there because I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT. That was the case two years ago, and it's still the case now. Haha. Oh, moving. It's not all bad. You get a fresh start. Who doesn't love a fresh start? New address/zip code, new family of very large neighbors above you who seem to have 27 children running around screaming at all hours of the night, new floorplan with an extra 56 sq. ft... What's not to love? Yeah.
    Oh, guess what-- Last weekend we finally made it out to the ocean. I'll post a few pictures. Our romantic weekend had been postponed so that we could stay an extra night free of charge and boy I will tell you, it was amazing. The first night, Aaron got freaking tossed and then the second night I evened the score of ridiculous drunkenness. 1-1. It was fun. The beach was great and the sunset was absolutely gorgeous. We walked down to the beach and brought a nice bottle of chardonnay with us and two plastic cups and cheers'd to the sunset. It was so romantic it made me sick. Or maybe it was the almost two bottles I had to myself that night..... Haha JK. But yeah, it was sure nice to have a break from Peebs. We missed her so much though. For the first few hours after we got there, instead of having hot crazy sex all over the fancy leather couch in the living room, we just sat and stared at pictures of her on the digital camera and pouted ha. Losers, right? My goodness. But all in all, it was fantastic. We needed a little time to ourselves... And, for the record-because-I'm-sure-you're-wondering, we did get to the hot and heavy stuff at some point. We wrecked that place, haha.

    Moving out, and on!
    I am so glad to have cable again. I wanted to kiss the comcast guy I was so ecstatic, but I'm fairly sure he was homosexual, and I having such a great day I didn't want to wreck his by pissing off his boyfriend/cable partner. It is nuts how much we rely on the TV and internet. I went right away into the DVR and started to set recordings for all my embarrassingly addictive shows. Double Shot at Love, CSI (Vegas, Miami, and New York; I don't discriminate.), Top Chef: New York, Rock of Love Bus, and yes, even the Tool Academy. I can not help it, I have no shame when it comes to the most stupid, ridiculous reality shows... I have no power when it comes to VH1, Bravo and occasionally MTV. They've got me. Ahh! I was serious when I told you I was addicted. Help?
    Anyways, I got a route canal today. Thank God. Seriously, I thanked the Lord as soon as I was done. He did me a solid. I'm tired of being high as a fucking kite on Vicodin and Percocet because of this pain in my mouth. The procedure wasn't nearly as bad as I had thought. I told my dentist and the assistant that I was nervous because Aaron had told me it was horrible and would maybe be one of the worst pains I had ever felt in my life. By about half way through it we were all three relentlessly calling my husband a freaking baby and just seriously making fun of him because clearly I have bigger balls than he does if he thought that was so bad...? It was nothing! Hahaha. I love my husband though. He'll probably read this later tonight and get pissed as all hell at me. I LOVE YOU, BARON. It was all in fun!

    On that note, I should get going. I've got to wake up Adrien from her nap, her sleep schedule has gone to shit with the whole moving-thing and she just got her 4-month shots a day or two ago, so being recently vaccinated makes her all lethargic and weird. I am so glad to be back though! I really missed you, Xanga. Feels good to get my thoughts out again. Anyway, how have you been this last week? What's new?

    Talk to you soon :]]

  • Get your damn life back, Karina. Right... Now.


    Life & relationships
    . Oh, I almost forgot to finish that sentence... can be a bitch. My apologies. One thing you find out real fast once you get pregnant or married at a young(or any, for that matter) age, is that it's easy to lose your relationships with people. Friendships, family ties, acquaintances even; whatever relationships you're involved in. It's important to try to not let that happen, but more often than not you get swept up in it all and the next thing you know you're sitting on your butt watching DVR'd episodes of CSI and talking about your sex life(or lack thereof) with your dog. Or baby, or mother. Oh no, or mother-in-law(gasp). Goodness. I know this. I've done this. More than I'm going to admit right now, haha. I'll tell you, I am a fun girl. I loveee to get out of the house and go places. I'm spontaneous. I am a social butterfly. I make people laugh. I'm what you would call "a good time". I make friends fast. I am in high demand. Or, I was. Before I had the baby and got hitched. Now, I do a lot of hanging out at home. Thinking about what to do. Where should I go today... Hmm, I guess nowhere, I should probably just stay here. With the baby. And systematically destroy my mental well-being. What??? That's not a good call. So, I'm tired of it. I hate constantly having to fight the feeling that the fun, super happy and outgoing me is lost and I'm going to just be a fat, lazy ass housewife for the rest of my days. I don't even clean up or cook enough to be considered a good housewife. So I should stick to what I know. As of today, I am going to get out of the house every single day. I'm going to go tanning, go walking at the park, hit the gym, get Starbucks, visit friends and family I've been disconnected from for far too long, and quit being such a damn loser. Sound good to you? No more being a bum. I was never good at that. I'm a do-er. I think I'm going to put Peeby in my sister-in-law's husband's mom's daycare once or twice a week for a few hours, just so I can keep my sanity and have some Me-time. No one prepares you for losing your whole life. Well, they tell you about it, sure.... But you don't really pay attention to that part. At least I didn't. What an idiot, right? Not that I wish I hadn't. I love my daughter. Even you know that. It's just so weird that you become this completely different person, and to be faced with so many different avenues your life could go down now, and have to choose the one where you don't lose all of you, but you can still turn into the person you want to ultimately become. I guess that's pretty cool. I'm documenting one of the most important crossroads in my life and essentially mapping out who I was, who I am, and who I'm becoming....
    Sorry for such an introspective post; I just couldn't focus my mind without digging down a little bit and figuring out what's goin on in this nutzo little head of mine. I guess it's working itself out though.

    Hmmm. A lot to think about. Where are you, at this point in your life? Do you ever wonder what you're doing here or where you'll be in a few years? Or even better,
    did you ever think 5 years ago that you would be where you are now??

  • Yes, I am a... Mom, Wife. And those are relatively loose terms.



    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, I'm not exactly what you would call a "domestic treasure". I am a mess. I lose everything. I know it's already a saying, but seriously, I would lose my whole damn head if it weren't attached to the rest of me. I try to keep Peeby's room pretty organized, but more often than not, that's a huge fail. Haha. I have way too many clothes. Even with three gigantic clothing storage bins, a very large dresser, hanging clothes storage things in the closet and some other weird thing with 5000 spots for clothes hanging from the ceiling, everything is always all over the floor. The weird thing is, I love doing laundry. Yeah. I'm pro-laundry. But by looking at my bedroom, you would never know it. I can't help it! I don't even have anything to say for myself. But I do love my family. I would do anything for Adrien and Aaron. Especially Adrien.. She is so precious. Ha she is a fatty, too. 17 freaking pounds and she's not even 3 1/2 months! She has got rolls for days. I'm serious, my daughter even has a fat vagina. There's rolls all on and/or around that thing. It is funny, I'm not going to lie. She does some pretty crazy stuff, too. Like she likes to save her poops for right when you're least expecting it. She has pooped on me or Aaron or a blanket, pillow, hand etc. more than she ever has in her damn diaper. She'll wait until she's being changed, and right when you take off the first diaper before you can even think about having the next one on, she'll squeeze it out. Or, if you're lucky you'll get the projectile. And then, when you're trying to clean her ass and yourself and wherever ground zero happens to be off, she'll throw in a twofer and pee EVERYWHERE. Even if she just got done peeing, she'll muster up some more for you! It blows me away. I must admit, I'm almost impressed sometimes, she's so spot-on with her timing and direction and overall display. Haha. I love being a mom... Aaron and I anticipate her shits so much; we have this funny thing we do. Whenever we smell something questionable, the one of us that's holding her will bring her over to the other one and try to pass her off without the other one figuring it out. So say he's got her, he'll bring her to me and try and pass her off really quick by saying, "Karina-could-you-take-her-really-quick-I've-gotta-go-to-the-bathroom..." or I'll say something like "Baby-could-you-please-grab-Peebs-really-fast-I-think-I-have-something-in-my-contact....". We're both actually really good at this game now hahaha. We have so much fun together, my husband and I... It's like we're just old friends that hang out all the time and babysit together and occasionally have sex. HA. Oh, and I'm in love with him. That too. But my point, is that we're always laughing. We have this funny joke about divorce, also. (Ironically enough, with all the slack I get about being married at 20.) We have fun with it. He'll send me a text message when I'm out in the living room and he's in our bed saying, "Baby.. Will you please come in and turn off the fan, it's colds..." What a lazy SOB, right? So naturally, I say "Fuck you haha". And then he'll write back, "If you don't come in here and turn off the fan right now, I want a DIVORCE." It's hilarious. We do that with everything. If you don't shut your mouth haha, I want a divorce. If you don't change the baby's diaper, I want a divorce! If you don't get in bed and do me right now, I want a freaking divorce. I think it's the funniest thing in the whole world. Our absolute favorite.
    A NOTE: Please don't leave a comment about how unhealthy you think that is or how it is a terrible thing to say to your husband/wife, because I will not even give you the chance to chew me out and you can fucking bite me haha. I love this man more than life itself. It is a JOKE.

    Anywayssss! I should probably go, my helpless little H apparently can't put Peebygirl down to sleep without my help. I guess I must be some kind of treasure, right? Haha.


    Talk to you soon!

    --Karins



    P.s. I almost forgot! I wanted to share a little of the light of my life with you :]]
    Here she is:






    Technically you can't see her vagina, but trust me when I say, it is fat ha.




    Hahahahaha I left her alone in that swing for five minutes without strapping her in and she had flipped herself all upside down almost completely out of it! She's a damned Houdini!


    Awwwwww. I am a .s u c k e r. for this face.



    Ohhh my... Isn't she just adorable? Even when she's pissed, she's still precious. I really do love being her mommy.


    More soon!
