Once upon a time, I was but a high school girl watching The Count of Monte Cristo with my friends, expecting to fall madly in love with Jim Caviezel. (You know the story--innocent man betrayed by his best friend, sent to jail in Marseilles for several years until an inmate helps him escape and find loads of hidden wealth, then goes back to seek ( Read more... )

1. ...my nephew Jaime was born! January 1, 2010. Can't believe the little guy is turning ONE tomorrow. I've watched him transform to a teeny-but-really-long baby to a little chubster who can point out babies in books when we yell "WHERE'S THE BABY?", who bites us with his five teeth, and runs around too fast for us. He's adorable and I've loved ( Read more... )
