Moms Night Out: Tucson Edition

You might remember me mentioning that Jeff was gone all last week on a business trip.

Normally he gets the better end of those deals because while he’s dining out on the company dollah and coming “home” at night to a whine free zone I’m stuck wiping poopy tushes, cleaning spilled milk and refereeing countless screaming matches.

Not quite a fair trade right?

But this trip was a little different seeing as how he was held up in rainy Baltimore working a gazillion OT hours.  Yeah, I was still on tushie duty but at least I had the weather on my side.

Not to mention National Mom’s Night Out to look forward to.

He made it home on Thursday and I turned promptly around and headed out the door to hang with my two favorite Tucson bloggers, Nicole and Stephanie.

Nicole {Apron Strings Aflutter} was a perfect hostess and served up the most fabulous munchies.  Her coconut cupcakes were SCRUMP-tious and can I just say that she was a little Martha-esque in that instead of putting out sugar packets for her iced tea she whipped up a fancy simple syrup and served it in the cutest mini pitcher EV-er.  If you’ve not stopped by Nicole’s blog you simply must.  I totally dig her.  She’s technically gifted for one thing so if you’re looking for a new design for your blog she’s the girl to call.  She’s honest and kind and responsive.  And what’s more is that she’s got a super cute (testosterone filled) family and a little Chihuahua named Nacho who wants me to adopt him.  But shhhh! I promised Nacho I wouldn’t tell.  He’s afraid Nicole will turn him into taco topping if she hears about it.

Miss Metropolitan Mama herself was there too.  Stephanie is one smart chickadee let. me. tell. you.  I’m not big on degrees and stuff so I can’t speak very intelligently about that sort of thing but Miss Metro is, like, brilliant or something.  And she is a great resource for learning all about the buisnessy side of blogging.  Seriously.  But all that stuff aside she is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.  For real.  I’ve never heard her say an ill word about anyone and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if her nose literally grew if she ever were to tell a lie.  She’s got two beautiful little girls to whom she is completely in tune with.  It’s the cutest thing ever.  Totally reminds me of how I was as a mother before I started letting the kids play in the freeway and stuff.  Oh c’mon.  You know I kid.  But really, Stephanie is a very inspiring blogger.  You should check her out if you haven’t already.  At the very least cruise over and look at her picture.  I discovered last night that she has the most flawless skin I’ve ever seen.  Honest.

Yeah, so that about sums up my night out.

It was well-deserved and much appreciated.

Maria Bailey (MomSelect) deserves a huge pat on the back for thinking up such a brilliant excuse reason to celebrate.  Heck.  Forget the pat on the back.  Someone buy that woman a martini.
