No changing tables? I’m callin’ you out!!!

pinkiefae — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:37:30 +0000

Okay, I’ll admit it. This would never have entered my realm of thought a year ago. And if I would have heard some other chick complaining about this, I would have rolled my eyes, said “whatever lady”.

But that was the old me, the 15 lbs lighter me, the me without any formula or baby food stains on my clothes, the me that got good night’s sleep. I barely remember that me. I start to miss her sometimes but then I look at Bean and well, you know…

Today’s rant is restaurants that do not put changing tables in the women’s bathroom. I’m not even worrying about the men’s bathroom right now. Heck, if an establishment can’t see the logic in slapping one on a wall in the ladies’ room, I know they aren’t progressive enough to even think of the guys’ room. I just don’t understand the thinking of building a nice new restaurant and overlooking such a common item.

Sure you have brand new flat-screen televisions hanging on the walls, sure you have the cutest “flair” on your waiters…but what about a table secured to a wall in a freakin’ bathroom so that little tiny human beings don’t have to be put on the floor or the sink countertop or balanced like a circus midget (little person) while they are being “refreshed”???

Two of the most recent encounters with changing tabled-challenged restrooms are H.J. Wings N Things in Palmetto, GA and Blue-Eyed Daisy Cafe in Serenbe in/around Palmetto.

First – H.J. Wings N Things. Brand new restaurant. Just opened on Sept. 2nd. The changing table must still be on order. Restroom is very nice and CLEAN – or it was on our Monday evening visit. Okay, so maybe this is a little bit bordering on the movie Sweet Home Alabama with Reese Witherspoon where she’s in a bar and sees an old girlfriend and she delivers the line about the girl having her baby in a bar. Maybe the owners think of their restaurant as a bar and well mannered people would never take their babies into bars. Okay, if it’s a bar…why are there kids’ menus, highchairs and boosters, and coloring sheets and crayons???? Hmmm…wacky.

Second – Blue-Eyed Daisy “Bakeshop” Cafe in Serenbe in Palmetto. Serenbe is supposed to be this new eco-friendly, self sustaining community. Well, you might can get a BLT with all organic veggies there, but you have to put your kid on the floor in the one-toilet sparse bathroom with a drain in the floor to take care of her “organic” offerings.

Restauaranteurs, women frequent your establishments. Women have babies. Women take those same babies with them when they venture out in public. How’s about making their lives a little bit easier while you’re taking their money.

What’s that supposed to mean???

Funny story. Maybe.

This weekend, hubby and I decided to venture out of the house to get something to eat. Mind you, this was Sunday afternoon, I hadn’t had a shower all day, I had been taking care of an 8 month old with diarrehia, doing laundry and tried to clean up our kitchen all while he had been sleeping soundly. We were just gonna go through a drive-through so I figured, what the hey, I’ll just go in the bathroom and brush my hair and put it back up in the old faithful ponytail.

Well, here he comes in, carrying Bean and as I am brushing my hair and he says to Bean, “I think it’s time for Mommy to have a makeover”. I just turned and looked at him and said “What’s that supposed to mean?”.

I’m still waiting on that answer…

Great Hannah Montana deal

pinkiefae — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:42:35 +0000

My neices LOVE Hannah Montana. I mean LOVE. They show this girl so much love that we had to sit through 3 sittings of her 3D concert when it aired on TV. So I just found this deal on the new 3D movie and a Camp Rock movie package through Barnes and Noble. If you buy both together, you get a $10 credit on your purchase!

Have you seen the new Apple iPod nano?

pinkiefae — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:22:33 +0000

Note to hubby – here’s something I’d like for Christmas!!!! (yeah, right)

I was just checking out the Apple site and found the brand new iPod nano. They have introduced brand new colors that are so nice. And the nano is now curved which I think is really cool. I am still using my iPod mini but I wouldn’t mind upgrading to one of these new hot pink nanos!

Don’t let balloons just float away!

pinkiefae — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:02:09 +0000

Have you ever thought about what happens ot helium balloons when we release them or let them float away? I mean really thought about it? I never had.

I never considered the effect that those balloons had on animals once they float back down to the earth. Read this and it will open your eyes and hopefully make you think the next time you consider letting a balloon float away.
