Tonight, Fanny and I drove to Santa Monica to visit Julie in the hospital. When I saw Amelia, my heart completely melted. She is adorable and so, so small! She looks a lot like Daniel. She kept clenching her fists and making kitten sounds. Honestly, I completely fell in love with her. I can't wait to spoil her and take her to Disneyland when she ( Read more... )

 About an hour ago, Julie had her daughter and I was the very first person that they called! Mother and baby are doing great and they still need to pick a name. It's between Amelia and Samantha. I hope they pick Amelia! I didn't expect to be, but I am beyond excited about this. I have had my cell phone on for days, in anticipation. I had no idea ( Read more... )

I was just posting on Book Crossing and I noticed that I have been gifted with Antlers! This was so nice and it has made my day! I have no idea who the anonymous BC's might be, but it was such a sweet surprise.

This morning Marc and I stimulated the economy. We basically used our entire stimulus check (and then some) on new glasses. We each got ( Read more... )

We get email and audix updates on changes the company is making to become more green. One of these changes, caught my eye today. It was about junk mail and a company called Green Dimes.

I have been desperately trying to reduce ( Read more... )

Something happy for Mother's Day...My best friend is currently in labor! Julie's baby has decided to come a few weeks early for Mother's Day!  I have been on the phone with her all day, as she is still at home, not quite ready to go to the hospital. Apparently the doctor gave her the option, but she decided to stay home until the contractions got ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to the Stagecoach music festival. It was a ton of fun and I will definitely be back in 2009. A few thoughts...

1. Excellent people watching. Seriously, probably the best people watching that I have ever encountered. Country music fans are crazy, especially the people who did the onsite camping.

2. Dierks Bently is hot! I have a new ( Read more... )

I received a nudge from Amy and it made me realize that I had not posted in a very long time! Hi Amy!

A ton of things have happened...let me try to hit the highlights...

Kristi and Kevin are visiting this week from Washington. I had dinner with them and they kept me laughing the entire time. They were both exactly what I needed. I wish they lived closer!!!

This evening I went over to my mom's house to check the progress of the remodel. Most of the house has it's first coat of paint and the colors that we picked look better than I had imagined. Here is what we picked, all Behr paint ( Read more... )

I just got off the phone with my father-in-law. His wife, Susan, passed away this morning. She had been battling cancer for as long as I have known Marc. Even though I only met her twice, I am really sad by this news. I knew it was coming, but it doesn't make it easier, especially so close to my mom.
