This and that, not entirely baby related for a change

Yesterday I went back to Bikram Yoga for the first time in about 9 months. I nearly DIED. Seriously. It was pretty traumatic. It’s NEVER been that hard for me. Even when I first started, I was starting out in good shape. Apparently lactating doesn’t count for exercise as much as I thought. Well, to be fair, there were more people than I’ve ever seen there, so it was crazy hot. One person even left in an ambulance. No shit.

…..

Last weekend, my friend Loll was visiting, and I decided to use her presence as bait to get another friend to come over. It didn’t work, but there was a pretty funny ‘who’s on first’-esque text message exchange as a result:

Me: You busy tonight? Wanna come over? Few beers? Few laughs? Loll is here…

Me: Oops! Wrong Person!

(At this point, I’d suddenly noticed that even though I thought I’d chosen my friend Peter from my contacts, it now said Cindy P. on top of the message, who happens to be Loll’s MOM.)

Cindy P: HA HA HA HA HA

Me: HE HE

Cindy P: You’re hilarious. Much love to the three of you (oh and Loll too)

Me: Thanks! We’re cracking up, too!

So I try again…

Me: You busy tonight? Wanna come over? Few beers? Few laughs? Loll is here…

Then I noticed that even though I was extra careful this time, it STILL said Cindy P. on top of my message!

Me: Oh Damn!

Me: HA!

Me: I’m trying to text Peter but I keep getting you! New phone. Sorry!

Cindy P: Are you pulling my leg? Or have you gone ’round the bend?

Cindy P: This is Peter. Now I’m confused.

At this point, I called him and we sorted it all out. Apparently, when I was transferring numbers from my old phone to my new one, I put Peter’s number in for Loll’s mom, too. Isn’t it a good thing we figured out what was going on? Wouldn’t I have looked like a huge asshole otherwise? I also realized that he texted me after Clark was born and we had a small conversation that I thought I was having with Loll’s mom the whole time. I may have even said something like, “Look at you texting!” HA.

…..

Okay, I said it wasn’t ENTIRELY baby related, giving the impression it was perhaps PARTIALLY baby related.

He smiles! And this one’s sort of half mast! I haven’t been able to get a real, full, gummy one on film yet. I can’t even begin to explain how much more satisfying this whole gig is when you’re periodically rewarded with a smile.
