I Have Been Neglectful. Enjoy My Excuses!
Written by whoorl · Filed Under happy happy joy joy, lists, parentage, travel, whoorlito
Hi! I’m in Oklahoma!
Oklahoma is OK, thanks for asking. It’s hot. Very hot. Yesterday, I ran at 6:30 in the morning and died.
The end.
****************************
Currently, my brain will only assimilate sentences suitable for small children. And lists – I can deal with lists, so let’s go.
1. Remember our lovely beach bungalow up for sale for eleventy billion dollars? Remember the sadness at the thought of moving? Followed by the confident realization that NO ONE in their right mind would purchase such a bungalow for the unbelievably exorbitant price?
Well, I was right. No one would purchase our home for that much money.
But, they did purchase it for the unbelievably exorbitant price minus a large chunk of change.
In escrow. Inspections currently in process.
Hi! Did I mention we are in Oklahoma?
2. Let’s not dwell. Looks like the new owner might keep us in the property. Can everyone keep their fingers crossed?
3. It’s Wito’s 1st birthday! Big party this afternoon! With sugar and presents and a mini-Blogher conference. Shall we call it Blogher 0.5?
4. Many preparations are in order, so I must say goodbye for the time being. I’ll be back, post-sugar highs and wine headaches.
Happy Birthday, Wito!

Happy Birthday, Wito! Is there a party theme? Besides BlogHer?

August 4th, 2007 8:05 amHappy Birthday to Wito! One already, unbelievable. I hope the party is lots of fun.
And sort of good news on the house, I guess if someone is going to buy it, the best thing would be for you to be able to stay where you are. Let’s hope they are good landlords for you.

August 4th, 2007 8:44 amWhy was there no warning of the heat? And also THERE’S SONIC HERE! I might stay a little longer but only if ’sip and see’ includes the sipping of wine.
Happy Birthday, Wito.

August 4th, 2007 9:17 amHappy birthday, Wito! How are housing prices in Oklahoma?
Susan
August 4th, 2007 11:05 amHousing prices in Oklahoma are AWESOME. I know first-hand.
So Whoorl and Wito should totally stay here, don’t you all think?

August 5th, 2007 9:31 amI went to college in the midwest and ran track and cross country. I nearly died too. Especially in the spring/fall humidity and heat. That cracked me up.

August 6th, 2007 6:57 amI have this policy about not reading blogs over the weekend, and it looks like this time around it came back to bite me.
Wow, I’m sorry. But I’m NOT dwelling. I swear. Everything will work out.
Whee!

August 6th, 2007 7:22 amHappy BirthAnniversary to the darling Wito! And I’m sorry, but I think congrats are in order for the equally darling parents of Wito for not losing, maiming, or forgetting Wito in a public place ALL YEAR LONG (this is, I’m pretty sure, what I would do if I had a child at this point in my life, yay me!) so… woohoo to you two!
And ugh, I drove through the big OKC on the way back from CO last week…just driving through was enough for me. Hot, hot and more hot. My poor parents… had to leave them there b/c, well, they live there. Although we got back to Cleveland and it was like 4 gajillion degrees…4 GAJILLION, PEOPLE! le sigh.
Have so much fun today!!!

We just went through birthday weekend ourselves. Charlie may never be the same, he now expects cake with each meal.
Congratulations on surviving the first year!

August 6th, 2007 9:51 amOh shit. I thought I commented on this on Saturday, because good googly moogly, happy birthday, little Wito! Belated, that is, from his many cyberaunties.
kris
August 6th, 2007 10:44 amOh my goodness. I can’t believe he’s already one – seems like yesterday that icky men were looking at your pregnancy pics on Flickr. Ahhhh. Those were the days.
Happy first birthday, sweet boy. Want to go to prom with me in a few years? I’ll probably still be single.

August 6th, 2007 4:16 pmEverything’s crossed over here, so good luck. And happy birthday, little guy!

August 6th, 2007 5:10 pmUnbelievable…I can’t believe he is a year already. Happy Birthday Wito, make sure mom doesn’t jip you on the icing.

August 8th, 2007 3:35 pmHappy belated birthday! Happy anniversary of becoming a mom! And happy having a good time in OK. I’m headed there in November and, having always been a bit terrified of the midwest, am a bit nervous already…although it could be that I’ll be meeting my boyfriend’s entire family and his trajillion friends (thought I’d throw in another enormous number!).
