Fairy Princess

One of Gwen's favorite games to play lately is fairy princess. Although she just thinks she a princess. The reason why is because today's princesses seem to all have a magic wand with them. How did that happen? Anyway Gwen will wave her wand and magically change things into something else. One of the times I was trying to get her into the car and she didn't want to go. She struggled, screamed and then waved her wand at me and said "Poof!" I'm not sure what she changed me into but I must say I was slightly insulted on top of my amusement. I'll have to remember never to get Gwen a real magic wand because I would be in trouble. Of course she also changes me into different things when she's just playing too. Today I was changed into a princess, back into a mom, then into a horse, and luckily back into a mom again.

Forwards

Recently I received a forward that I've gotten a couple times before. It about getting free money from Bill Gates. Sounds exciting huh? Well to me it sounds a little creepy. All you have to do is forward the message on and then in a couple of weeks they send you some money. First of all it sounds too good to be true and second how do they manage to get my mailing address just from forwarding an email. I hope nobody can actually do that because otherwise who knows how many people could stalk you.
Needless to say all three times I have deleted this message. The first couple of times my anxiety was up and I was hoping that is was really a scam and I didn't just miss my chance at free money. But this time it was really easy to say goodbye to it. Does anyone else find these types of email annoying? Or am I just being touchy.

Birthday/Christmas

I hadn't really thought about how close Gwen's birthday is to Christmas before. She was always too young that we didn't really have a celebration for her. But this year she is going to get some fun things both for her birthday and Christmas. I feel like they are practically the same thing. I know she is still little enough not to notice but I sure will. She will barely have time to play with her new toys when she's bombarded with more toys. I really should come up with a different solution for it like celebrating her birthday in the middle of summer instead. In which case do I start doing that in six months from now. Pretty crazy. But I guess that's what happens with Christmas babies.
