I had a baby...it came out of my body. This is quite surreal. While the entire pregnancy was uneventful the birth was anything but and it deserves its own entry. As soon as I get this little guy off my teet I tell all about it.

my sister gave us her time share in kissimmee because they never use it. i did the title work and now it's ours. we already booked a few vacations. Ptown on the beach over labor day (for a week) and St. Croix for a week at the end of feb. i love time share (especially time share i didn't buy) because you can get a condo and go all over the world ( Read more... )

i'm leaving for wisconsin after work today. for some reason i thought my flight was around 7 but it's at 5:45. that's actually better because i don't have to sit in the airport that long. in fact i have just enough time to leave work and take the T to the airport. (on a side not the circus is in town and camped out on city hall plaza right outside ( Read more... )

we went to orlando for a week and it was fantastic. i'm not exactly a fan of disney and all its hype but it was fun none-the-less. the weather was perfect. not too hot. and my step-mom kept ely in her room for a couple nights so we could get a good night's sleep. he still wakes up at night and must be fed. my step-mom could only stay from saturday ( Read more... )

ely used to wake up every night at about 3am. then around 5 months he started to sleep through the night (7:30pm - 6am). then while we were away in spain in september he started to wake up in the night really hungry. we thought it was just the time change. when we got him it kept going on. he'd wake up 2 or 3 times a night to have a bottle. this ( Read more... )

i don't post nearly enough because i post snippets of my life on facebook and everyone here does the same thing. plus i seem to spend little time in front of a computer and i find it tedious to update my journal on my phone ( Read more... )

columbus day weekened we went to maryland to visit my folks and to attend the annapolis saliboat show. while we were down that way we thought we'd take my grandma's cat back to her. they are both dead. my grandma is burried in resurrection cemetary and the cat was cremated in a box i had been carrying around since last july when she died. my intent ( Read more... )

day 3 we went to the beach in marbella. the water was surprisingly cold. not as cold as new england but not as warm as the last time i vacationed on the med. (france). ely loves the sand and water. he played in the sand for awhile. we determined that a pacifier keeps him from eating sand. after a few hours on the beach we stopped at a cafe for ( Read more... )

i want to write about the rest of our trip to spain but first i have to complain about my car. we have two saabs. one of them i love and the other i hate. i love the older one (2002) i hate the newer one (2006). the new one is a lemon. if it didn't have a great 6 year warranty i'd get rid of it now. but we are upside down on the loan so that's not ( Read more... )
