Walrusgeen

"Mama we go to Walrusgeen? For milk? And medicine? And cheese chips?"

This is what I heard 512 times yesterday on our way to Walgreens for milk, my prescription (medicine), and some cheese puffs (cheese chips).



Every day when I pick her up from school, Lovie always asks to go somewhere: Mama, we go to da park? Mama, we go to Target? We go to da soccer game, Mama? (This one was a fun request to fill- girlfriend didn't even know what a soccer game was but insisted we go to one so as I drove home, I looked everywhere and prayed to see some kids playing soccer. Finally, near home, I saw some kids playing in a huge park. I went around the block to get back to the field...and they were playing softball. Argh. When we got home, she was pissed. I had to promise to show her a soccer game on the computer to hopefully appease her. Thank GOD for the internet!) We go buy lallow banas, Mama?

The girl loves her shopping, what can I say.

Yesterday I needed to stop for some milk and a prescription so when I confirmed that we'd be going to the store and she started yammering on about all this stuff (milk and lallow banas and carrots and yogurt...oh I want Dora yogurt, Mama!) we were allegedly going to go buy, I had to put the kibosh on her thinking and let her know we were only going to Walgreens. For milk, medicine, and maybe some cheese puffs.

"Oh," she hummed. "We go to wall-es, Mama?"

"Yeah, baby, we're going to Walgreens."

Back and forth over and over and over again for 45 minutes until we finally arrived.



At Walrusgeen.

Christmastime is here!

I've been reading to Lovie before she was even born and when I saw this neat thing on The Pinterest about wrapping books and having your child open one to read every night during the Christmas season, I was like NEATO! But then it quickly dawned on me: I don't have 24 Christmas-related books, nor do I have the funds to go out and get a ton of Christmas-related books.  But, I have picked up a few and started to introduce them to Lovie after Thanksgiving.

First up was My Little Polar Bear because it wasn't really Christmas-related and we weren't even into December yet. It's a cute (and short) story, but I think I like it more than Lovie does.

Next up was what this post is all about- Christmastime is Here! A Fisher Price Little People lift the flap book.
This books is AWESOME. Lovie, 24 days shy of age 2, cannot get enough of this book. Every night before bed we read to her and last night we each had to read this one twice. She just loves looking at what's under all the flaps- and half the time it cracks her up!

So if you're looking for a Christmas-y book for your toddler, you really must seek this one out (I got it from TJ Maxx for like $7 or something). It's not religious or anything; it's just fun and cute.

And since this is about toddlers and Christmas, check out what I just picked up at the grocery store during my lunch break:



Don't you wish you could be 2 again?!?


I wasn't compensated in any way, shape, or form for my opinions stated within this post. Neither of these companies know that I even exist.

is this what it's like not to work full time?!?

The building I work in lost power very early yesterday. Some areas still had working computers and phones, but, for the most part, the building was out of power. Including the air conditioning. My work station was one of the ones with power, thankfully. Still, they released us at noon. Woo-hoo! I wanted to rush to Lovie's school and scoop her up and play with her but I knew that it was nap time there, so I opted to do some running around instead.

One of the first stops included a resale thrift shop that donates all money from donated sales to a women's shelter. I picked up the perfect little "book shelf" to go in Lovie's playroom.


It's actually an old record holder. It's not in mint condition or anything but it's really rather perfect. Especially for a playroom. It's got those slats in it that would hold old records and holds up her books perfectly. Plus she can park her non-pink school bus or whatever else she wants underneath and use the top of it as a table top.

It was marked at $20 but they were offering 40% off all furniture bought and removed yesterday so I ended up walking out with it, a little Kai-Lan purse (see below), and three books for Lovie for a whopping $16 and some change.

world's largest bean bag chair (to me, at least). it's sooo comfy, too.

looking into playroom from living room. the chandelier makes the room, no?

After the resale shop, I had to pee. Badly. So I stopped at Starbucks for a pee break and a Frappuccino break. Mmmm icey goodness. With my frap in hand I headed over to Marshalls for shits and giggles and ended up coming home with these (for Lovie, of course):
actually a much darker plum like in below pic


that's brown detail- comes with brown leggings


this is cuter in person- the pockets make this dress


Why on earth do I not shop at Marshall's more often? How can you beat those prices?!? Oh I remember why I don't shop there too much: I work full time, I hate people and dealing with crowds, and I'm infatuated with online shopping, that's why.
this is that purse Kai-Lan purse i got from the resale shop. blogger hates me so i couldn't put it up at the top. blogger also ate a cute pic i had of Lovie reading one of the books (WIGGLES!) i got from the resale shop. she made me read that book to her (A Wiggles CHRISTMAS for crying out loud) about 10 times.


I'm at work right now as I type this up. And the power is still out. Mofo's didn't leave a message in time to let us know not to come in. Argh. I think I've lost 5 pounds since I got here it's so dang hard-to-breathe hot in here.


What can you do? I'm here so I'll blog and get some work done and take off when Lovie's eating lunch at school so that I can get there before she naps. That way she can nap at home and we can do our own thing for the afternoon.

Hell, maybe I'll make a real meal tonight or something?!  Man, a girl could get used to this part time schedule...

a plus to being a "Working Mom"

...at least where I work, that is: SHOPPING during lunch breaks.

Fortunately, I work very nearby an IKEA. So not only can I go there and walk around and shop, I can also go there for some downright cheap eats. What's not to love about that?!?

Today, I picked up a little table and 2 chairs for ... you guessed it... Lovie!


It's sized perfectly for the littles and comes in a set for a whopping $19.99. Yes, TWENTY DOLLARS. And because I used my debit card, I got a whopping 1% off that. ;) And that's their every day price! How can you go wrong?! Of course it's not the best quality of table and chairs and if we were even thinking about having another child, I would've gotten something of a more sturdy quality, but for just my Lovie to sit at and color at or whatever??!? PERFECTION!

I can't wait to get it home, put together, and set up for her.

Then, on my way out, I picked up two hot dogs (all beef), a bag of chips, and a diet pepsi for $2. TWO DOLLARS. As well as a 6 pack of big ass cinnamon buns (for the weekend, eh, i'm not that much of a pig) for $4. All that food for $6. SIX DOLLARS!

Oh IKEA how I love thee!!

Then, cuz I made some great time and lucked out with a close enough parking spot, I zoomed down the street, found another good parking spot, and made my way into Nordstrom Rack and scored these (also for Lovie):



Are the not fucking adorable? I mean, they're not adorable, they are fucking adorable. Say it with me: FUCKING adorable!

And for $11.90.

It's funny because I was in the same NR about seven months ago looking for shoes to go along with Lovie's 1st Birthday Party dress and saw these exact boots. And while they don't look like a size 5.5 (they're kinda narrow and my girl has had chubby feet), I decided not to get them because she was only in a size 3- barely- and I had no clue how big her feet would get in a year.

And even though we're still a good 4 or 5 months out from needing footwear for colder weather, I snagged 'em up this time cuz she's just now busting out of her 4's.

She WILL be wearing these boots. Soon. And often.

Cuz my kid? She's cool like that, yo!

BRING IT!

Are those not the cutest shorts you've seen? OMG even the little bows (which I normally hate) are green and white!

Could they be any cuter?? Why yes, yes they could- and they will... when Lovie wears them!

I just placed an order, moments ago, with one of my favorite places to get Lovie's clothes: Crazy8.

I ordered 3 tanks, 2 pair of shorts, 1 swimsuit, and 2 pair of jeans for... are you ready for this number?? ... $55 which includes tax and S&H. Now I'm no math geek or anything but that's 8 pieces of clothing for like ... well, a really good deal!

For real, yo.

We are Lovie is totally ready for summer now without a doubt. So to yesterday's 90 degree temps (disgusting!!), I say BRING IT! Just do so when these shorts come in, eh? :)

Seriously though, I don't even remember how I found Crazy8 since there are no stores nearby me whatsoever, but man am I glad I did. Their stuff is cute and they have fanfriggintastic deals! I got Lovie two pair of bootcut jeans (bootcut jeans. for babies!!!) last summer for this past fall and winter and I can't even tell you how many compliments I got on them and how many "Where'd you get those?"  So you best believe I snatched up two more pair just now for this fall and winter.

I love me a bargain and I love me some Crazy8!


and no, I'm not being paid or compensated in any way, shape, or form by Crazy8; I just really dig their stuff and their sales

fun, fun, fun!!

Check out what I ordered yesterday from Zulily:




Each of them were like $9!
I cannot wait for them to come in... I'm thinking that last one will be worn on Easter.

Then today at Target, I picked up these sandals ($10) for the doll:


Along with this swimsuit set ($10):



My girl's gonna be stylin' this spring and summer! Probably the only reason I'm looking forward to warmer temps... that, and I can't wait to get her onto a swing and into a playground!

Love Bug

A couple weeks ago I was in Target on the lookout for a cute shirt or outfit for Lovie to wear for Valentine's day... but I wanted something different, something she could wear before and/or after the day as well. I found the cutest outfit just before checking out... Perfect for my little Lovie who I also refer to oftentimes (on a blog written to her) as my little Love Bug.

She wore the outfit yesterday and I nearly fainted at the cuteness... but I'm a little pissed because I bought a size 2T shirt thinking she could wear it till next fall. Um, I know my baby girl is big for her age (13 months on Saturday and 22 pounds a month ago) but check out how she's nearly busting out of this 2T shirt!

(sorry for the crappy pictures but we leave in the dark and get home in the dark and she's hard to get pictures of these days)

I just adore the little button and hole at the neckline- such a cute little touch!

I had to get the leggings... especially when I saw the thick yellow cuff! So cute!

I also bought a bright yellow skort to wear with this (or not), too!
My love bug is getting to be such a big girl!

Lunchtime scores

I ran over to Target during my lunch break. It's the first time I've been in several weeks. I needed some John Frieda Frizz Ease Hair Gel. Desperately. And I forgot freaking Walmart doesn't carry it for some reason. So I went to Target.

Like I said.

By the time I got to the hair gel, I was in a great spirits and then things got even sweeter: if I buy three John Frieda Frizz Ease products, I would get a $5 gift card. Sweet chicken sign me up! So I scooped up three of the hair gels at $5 and some change a piece. And now I'm the proud owner of a $5 gift card burning a hole in my wallet!

So why was I in great spirits before the hair gel?!?

Cuz I scored these



for Lovie for a whopping $3.24!  Holla, Holla!!

I also scored 4 fabric storage bins like these



at $2.50 a piece (over by the dollar stuff) which will be great for Lovie's toys and books, and an I (heart) Daddy and I (heart) Mommy picture frames for $1 a piece.

Then. After the hair gel??? I made my way into the clearance clothes (for Lovie) and found... a $1.84 sweatshirt that has a heart on it and Sweet Heart inside the heart. A sweatshirt for less than $2. Woot! (It's also the first all pink purchase I've ever made for Lovie- but, in my pink-hater defense, I also bought a pair of black women's knee highs that have white hearts on them that I'll be cutting off the feet to pair with the pink sweatshirt to hopefully offset the screaming pink of the shirt.) Then I spotted this little rocker LOVE shirt/dress thing. It's black and LOVE is in different colors and it's frilly on the bottom and comes with a pair of black leggings with colored hearts. How fucking cute does that sound? Perfect for Valentine's Day, right? Ack, I cannot wait!

Then. Oh then. I'm about to get into a checkout lane when I see this adorable gray shirt that says Love Bug on it. And my Lovie? Well she's my Love Bug. And it was $5. And it had a little yellow in it and some other colors but it was a gray shirt. Under that I saw these ADORABLE gray and white striped leggings for $5 too that looked like they would go perfectly with the shirt- and when I unfolded them, I noticed they had a yellow stripe on the bottom. How fucking cute?! And then I noticed a skort in bright yellow. For $5. Ack!!! So I got this ADORABLE gray and white and yellow outfit that can be worn together or apart or whatever for $15.

I love Target some days. And pay days.

What the ... ?!??!?!

courtesy of http://www.webooshoes.com/

What the hell is that? And why on earth is there a company that provides such scary things? And who is wearing them? WHO? Or maybe the proper question is WHY?!

I don't care how much she might beg and plead some day, Lovie will never be wearing something like that on her feet. I'm sincerely disturbed.

Secret Thursday

Last week I shared a secret on Thursday. This week, I think I'll do the same. Wouldn't it be groovy if I could do it again next week, too? And then you do it on your blog and it will be a blogging revolution that we share secrets on Thursday. Or not.

So today's juice isn't really baby related, shockingly enough. Well not all of it, at least. Ready?

Secret #1:
I think I found my old grammar school crush. I'm about 99% sure it's him, in fact. On Facebook of course. Good old Facebook.

It's funny because I've "looked" for him and others (because there were just so many others, uh huh) in the past but it's hard to know if you've found the right person if it's been TWENTY-FIVE YEARS! Fortunately this one has a more unique name and is the only one on Facebook. Not sure what possessed me to even look for him, but I did and I found him and it just brought back so many memories...

his long black hair flowing in the wind
his teeth covered in metal that sparkled when he smiled
his tight jeans and heavy metal t-shirts
his walk (like a stick was up his ass- must've been the tight jeans)
the way he'd shake my chair in class (he sat behind me, would shake chair with feet)
the way he'd tap his pencil on the desk until I'd turn around and tell him to stop
the way I tried not thinking about him but it didn't work

Ah to be 13 and in 8th grade again.

NO FUCKING THANKS!! I hated my teen years. HATED. Wouldn't go back for anything.

Anyway a part of me wonders if he would remember me. I mean, we only went to 8th grade together (I transferred in) and that was that. Like I said, it's been 25 years. A part of me would love to "friend" him and ask but I won't do it... I just don't think it's fair to my husband even though nothing ever happened between us. Plus it would be weird. I mean, it's already weird considering I'm BLOGGING ABOUT IT!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Secret #2:
Meijer, the grocery store, sells baby shoes!! They sell a lot of shit but they sell baby clothes, too. And SHOES. Baby shoes! At the Meijer (cheap!) price!

If you know anything about me, you know I'm cheap (I should put that in my About Me, huh?). And it pains me to spend lots of money on Lovie's clothes and shoes. I have no qualms with buying used- especially when it comes to baby clothes/shoes. Why not? I mean, how often do wee ones wear their clothes before outgrowing??

My biggest problem is shoes, though. It's so hard to find Lovie shoes because a) I'm cheap and b) her feet are TINY. Ugh. But I saw these cute mocs on this adorable baby in another blog and have been searching (because I was too timid to ask) for them to no avail. Well said blogger posted today about them! And I just bought two pair! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I can't wait till they come!

But. That's not at all my secret. My secret is that I found a pair of furry boots (not mocs but still furry and fucking cute!) at MEIJER of all places for ... $7.99.  Did I buy them?  Well, no - but only because I just spent $50 on two pair of mocs earlier.  We'll see what happens when they come- if I don't like, I'll return and get the cheapass boot things from Meijer for $8!!

Why didn't I know that MEIJER had baby shoes and shit? Well, now I do. And now you do, too!

So do YOU have secrets to share with the class this week??

August 24, 2010

now that she's crawling and standing and getting into everything at all times everywhere we turn...

I really think it might be a good idea to get her into some shoes.

Well, the order came in from last week and wouldn't you know it? Both pair are too big! Argh. And not just a little... though I guess they may work for a Halloween costume- if she were a clown! Boo. I'm so ticked off. I hate spending money and having to wait to use whatever it is I spent money on.

But whatever. They'll fit at some point. Better to be too big than small, right?

Well... I was looking around the interwebz and came across THESE.

How stinkin' cute. The color, the material, the everything!

I want a pair.

For me.

Ok and for Lovie. Espeically for my Lovie.

August 19, 2010

Intervention

I need help.

I can't seem to say No to a good bargain when it comes to getting something I need to get.  I try not to buy frivolously or without purpose as we just don't have the kind of funds to allow for that kind of shopping; generally I shop with a mission, a purpose, a specific item(s) in mind.

But this week... this week, I've really pushed it.

On MONDAY I bought Lovie this piano from Leap Frog:



I couldn't NOT buy it. It was on clearance through Leap Frog, and I had a 25% off coupon on top of that! My reasoning for buying without a purpose: I've been noticing the past couple weeks how Lovie seems to really gravitate and enjoy playing with toys she can manipulate into making noise so when I saw this deal, I couldn't resist.

Then on TUESDAY, I bought this toaster from Crate and Barrel:



But it's not for our household. It's for the daughter of a friend (how the fuck old am I that I can say that... that I was invited to the wedding of a friend's daughter?!? DEAR GOD!) whose wedding we can't attend next weekend because we'll be in the midst of moving.  This, too, was on sale (and on their registry) so Yay.

Yesterday/WEDENSDAY I finally made a purchase I've been wanting to do for some time now, but just couldn't justify it- until now. I got these for Lovie from shoes.com:



And I can't wait to get them and slap them onto her itty bitty feet!  They were on sale, plus I had a coupon for 30% off, plus free S&H. How could I resist?!? I also ordered a pair of orange CROC-like shoes for next summer for a whopping $5.

And today/THURSDAY... today I've spent more than I have all week when I purchased a ton of clothes from OldNavy.com:



But again, I couldn't pass up the deal... and to help justify the purchase, I only bought Lovie items that were already on sale (the stuff for myself wasn't on sale- boo!).

I need help. If I continue to buy like this, I'm going to be in DEEP trouble.

But hey, at least Lovie'll look cute as ever! ; )

Half Birthdays

So Lovie. The love of my life. She was born smack dab between Christmas Day and New Years Day on December 29th.  This was good for me at the time because it allowed me to have a couple extra days off paid because of the holiday, allowing me to extend my maternity leave.  But now that all that's said and done, I've been wondering how her birthday might very well get overlooked - or sandwiched together with Christmas and New Years.

I know that we, her parents, will always make a big deal on December 29th no matter what.  Period, end of discussion.  But what about family and friends?

I have a cousin who was born on December 26th and I never remember doing anything special for his birthday and am even guilty of giving him both a Christmas and Birthday present combined.  And that's gotta suck!! Particularly when you're a kid! (I'm sorry cousin!!)

That all left me thinking about "half birthdays."  I honestly never even heard of such a thing until I saw an episode (oh boy is this confession going to be embarrassing - particularly when you take my age into account) of the new 90210 where one of the characters celebrated her Half Birthday every year because her mom, who was a drunken narcissist, always blew off her real birthday.

And now that I have Lovie and take pictures every time she's a month older, I began to wonder if I should throw some sort of Half-year birthday party for her.  I asked some friends and while they thought it would be a good idea, they also felt that she should definitely have a 1 year Birthday Party, too.  Makes sense. Definitely cannot skip the big 1 year Party, regardless of who might or might not show up. 

I don't know. Time will tell as to how this will all work out, I suppose, but for now, I think we'll just stick with doing a 1 year birthday party.

All that said and done - and really pretty much unrelated to the point of this post - I found this on Etsy through littleoneboutique:


Not the baby!! The onsie with 1/2 on it!  How stinkin' cute is that?! Even if we don't do a party, I still want to get it because, well, she'll only be a 1/2 year old once and it's damn cute in my opinion!

So now here's what I need your help with: Should I order the 1/2 image in RED with white dots or ORANGE with white dots. I love the yellow, but I think the red or orange will pop even more in photos.  So I'll let you all decide for me, if you will. 

You can either reply with a comment or simply click the poll to the left.

Thanks!! : )

oh and by the way

... in my last post from moments ago, I mentioned looking at Old Navy and the Gap's sale section. Well I came across this and I'm sorry, but under NO circumstance would my BABY be caught wearing a friggin cleavage cut dress (yeah I'm not a fashionista and I'm sure there's a term for the low cut neckline - oh is that the term?!).  I'm really kind of stunned that something like this even exists. I mean, it's a pretty dress and all - if you're 30!!

Hmm, but maybe I'm just showing my age and prude-ness (that's not even a word, is it?). Whatever.

Do I or don't I?

So I'm a cheapass. And I'm the first to admit it. I generally don't buy much of anything unless it's on sale. And when it comes to Lovie, that especially holds true.

Take her kick ass swing for example. It normally goes for like $150 (and worth every penny in my opinion) and I got it on sale for $86 from Kohl's one day - with free S&H (and holy hell I just checked the link and Amazon's got it at $99! Nice! But, of course, not as nice as $86!).

Most of her clothes that I've had to purchase, were done so through Once Upon a Child or with a significant coupon or clearance through your normal Babies R Us, Kohl's, Carters, Old Navy locations. And while, for the most part, she has plenty of clothes, she has no shoes.

And I love shoes.

But have you seen the cost for some baby shoes? For something that doesn't even matter and something that may be worn a handful of times, if that? Insanity, I say!

Well I was looking at Old Navy's site today and then the Gap and came across these:
How friggin cute are those?! And I can get them in 12 months size which would be perfect for the fall and winter months. And the best news is that they're on sale for like $15.

But I'm a cheapass, remember? And $15, to me, is still a lot of money when it comes to something she, again, won't wear too much.

But they're cute. And she'd make them even cuter once they adorn her cute little feet. And she doesn't have any boots yet and they're NOT pink, nor are they covered in Winnie the Pooh crap (ha, nice pun!)!

So... do I or don't I get them?!? 

It's times like this when I hate being so damn cheap!

April 21, 2010

SCORE! - or not.

Apparently, there are a couple - dare I say Benefits - to being a working mom. And most of them involve the internet.

Actually it all involves the internet.

I don't think that cherishing the time I do have with Lovie is a benefit to being a working mom because I'm here to scream it to the world if I need to: I love my daughter with everything I have, everything I am and even when I was home with her I cherished every friggin moment - from the screaming to the pooping to the cuddles to the smiles. EVERYTHING. I wasn't, nor will I ever be, one of those moms that wishes time would go by faster. I know you know who I'm talking about: The ones who are "bored" because they have a newborn who "sleeps all the time." You know, the ones who also bitch up a storm because those same "boring" newborns who were sleeping all the time, suddenly start waking every two hours at night... The ones who aren't really satisfied until their child has completely conformed to their life.

And if you happen to be one of those moms, I apologize if something I said or say might offend, but frankly, why did you have a child? I just will never understand the complaining (I mean, yes, even I've cried about being tired, for example, but not every day... and, of course, I'm not talking about postpartum depression either). What do people think happens when they have a child? I mean, REALLY. Or is that the problem? That a lot of people don't think about it - other than they want this little mini version of themselves to dress up and take places to show off like a trophy?!

Gross.

Oh my did I digress. My apologies.

Anyway. Back to the Benefits of being a working mom... at least one who has a desk job of sorts. The time I'm able to spend online while at work as opposed to when I'm home is incredible:
  • The other week I figured out how to make the banner at the top of my page. All while at work. It's not perfect, but it'll do for me. And yes, that's mine and Lovie's hand. :)
  • Today I ordered a cute (at least it better be once I get it) butterfly mobile I plan to put above Lovie's changing table... and I got it for almost half off. I also ordered, from a different website, 6 more pair of baby leggings since A) they're fucking cute (and poo on you if you don't think so), B) they're awesomely convenient for diaper changes, C) they were more than 1/2 off each (2 pair were actually 75% off!!).
SCORE!

But! While I'm proud of my purchases and enjoy being online, I'd trade it all in a heartbeat to be with Lovie right now. In.a.heartbeat.

Gah.

Never mind what I said about there being benefits to be a working mom. Nothing compares to holding my baby girl, to watching her discover new things, to comforting her when she's unhappy, to changing her stinky diapers, to feeding her empty tummy. NOTHING compares to the time one can spend with their child.

And now I'm in tears.

Three hours my little love bug... God give me the strength.

Lunchping

So at lunch, I went shopping. Hence the title. Clever, I know.

Lovie's been teething, we think, and she's just not happy with her pacifiers and gets super frustrated at not being able to manipulate teething toys and stuff (like this ridiculously expensive teether I bought a month ago because it came so highly recommended- argh! still waiting for Lovie to even notice this damn thing!) so I did some research and went out and got her a teething binky of sorts. The raZberry teether.Doesn't it look ... scrumptious? I mean, I kinda wanna stick it in my own mouth and Nom Nom it!

I'm hoping it gives her some relief. Must go home and boil it before giving it to her (yes I'll wait till it's cooled off!) but I'm excited and optomistic that this $4.00 thing works instantly as opposed to that $15 one mentioned above!

I also picked up some more Boogie Wipes- which we LOVE and would even use for our own noses if they weren't $4.00 a pack. Poor Lovie's had a stuffy nose since, I kid you not, two days after starting daycare well over a month ago and her itty bitty cute as a button nose just can't handle anything but these wipes so THANK YOU to the creators of them!

I also got another sleep sack since we de-swaddled several weeks ago.

My Lovie. God I miss her so much... and it doesn't help that 4 people today have asked how she's doing.

One hour and fifteen minutes, my doll...
