I’ve started planning Maxine’s first birthday party. QUE EL QUE?!?!

Every parent says it and I’m no different. Holy stuff that passed quickly! I’m running out of time to reflect back on “this time last year” and think how pregnant I was. Technically, I suppose there are no degrees of pregnant. It’s a yes / no kind of thing. But when I think back on November last year, I was really YES. And soon “this time last year” will be newborn baby memories.

Sometime last year between being yes and YES, early fall-ish, I signed up for Amazon Mom. It was super. Free. Fast. All the good F’s. It was a 3-month trial. 

Would you believe I order so much stuff from Amazon my trial was extended like 3 times? I have ordered a vacuum cleaner. Toilet paper. A treadmill. 

A! TREAD! MILL!!

As my newborn now rounds on a year, my free trial finally expired. I couldn’t possibly face greater than 2-day shipping. That’s just barbaric. And I was hooked. So, I finally made good with an Amazon Prime membership

It’s glorious. I now enjoy free content. I’d love to tell you how I’m making super use of the Kindle lending library, but nope. I am making super use of the instant video.

The aforementioned treadmill was purchased to assist my post-baby body from  where it was this time last year to where it was that time 1 year and 8 months ago. It ain’t easy folks. Honest living and breastfeeding only get you so far. I’ve been hit or miss since we got it (two days after I ordered it). Though in all fairness it was a hard fought win just getting to where I could jog for more than a few minutes without dying (or peeing myself) (or falling asleep).

However, instant video is helping me double down on my running commitment.  Instant video’s offering of the entire Dawson’s Creek ouvre will get me in marathon shape.

Don’t judge me. 

I’ve made it far enough that Dawson is into Jen.  Joey wears terrible jeans. And Mrs. Leary is cheating on Mr. Leary. I’m up to jogging 30-minutes with a few 1-minute walk breaks sprinkled in.

We all get there at our own Pacey.
