today was the first time went far away from home all alone with nick. i was sitting around bored and decided i wanted to go to costco which is about 90 mins each way from 29. it wasn't the brightest idea but i got to walk, shop, drive, listen to music, listen to nick babble to himself and we both got to relax a bit. he was so good on this ride he didn't cry at all! the past week i've been slacking and haven't been walking as i should be, so to do make it up kris is taking us to big bear to hike :) i can't wait to see hannah hike and enjoy herself. it'll be a nice change from walking the pavement everyday. this 96 is half gone and i've made a giant batch of pho ga. then maybe next wk i'll make bun rieu. i just want an excuse to make some egg rolls lol i've lost inches and 2 pant sizes! so i've gotta get with the diet and walk walk walk! nick melts my heart and he smiles and giggles whenever you talk to him or smile at him. and he knows his sleepy time routine so i hope that he'll sleep through his teething. he's become quite the drool monster lately. i also managed to get kris hooked on jager bombs so i got a case of red bull from costco today too. just gonna let it be late enough to do some damage hehe..
