This is why I love Europe...I'm going to Madrid in two weeks. FOR THE WEEKEND. Jackpot.

LJ tells me it's been 16 weeks since my last post. Wow. Again, I blame the baby blog. I feel like I have to update my friends and family on what's new in Hayden's life, because he's way more exciting than we are these days!

In green news, I just got my new organic face wash and moisturizer, and Hayden's birth announcements are printed on 100%  ( Read more... )

Wow, two months. Sorry, LJ. I haven't even been updating my baby blog as much, because life is just busy. We've finally gotten back to a normal work schedule for Jay, and the house is clean, so I can relax somewhat. I've been reading like a fiend, first fiction for about a month solid and now I'm back to the baby books. AND, my Gorgeously Green ( Read more... )

Super slacker, I know. Most of the stuff I have to write about lately is baby-related, so it goes on the baby blog. But my life is nonetheless exciting.

I finished Marley and Me the other day, and it left me bawling. It's a must-read for dog lovers. Makes me appreciate my little devil, Oscar.

I just booked our tickets to Rome. Jay has 25 days of ( Read more... )

After a 14 months and 9 days, Jay is coming home!! He should be in Germany this afternoon, and at the gym for me to pick him up by 9pm.

I can't wait!!

Hilarious. If you haven't seen "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", you're missing out.

What a day! Oscar woke me up at 8 to go out. I cleaned and did some laundry and bummed around while we tried to stay cool. It was 79 degrees at 11am, and please remember Germany has no central air! Dandy came over this afternoon to help me write notes and put bags in my ( Read more... )

To my DC friends, try to check out the marathon on Oct. 26th!

I remember as a kid I never paid much attention to the holidays we got out of school first, except Christmas. Memorial Day was a Monday off.  As a child, how can you understand sacrifice of that nature ( Read more... )

 I started thinking yesterday about all the places I've been and fun things I've done, and I wanted to put it in a different perspective ( Read more... )

Today is a perfect day! The weather is BEAUTIFUL. I layed out in the sun for an hour and read, with Oscar at my feet sunning himself. I have all my windows open to clean. Best of all, my neighbor is mowing the yard, which means I don't have to do it and sulk! Awesome. I'm still barely unpacked from my trip home, and leave tomorrow for a 5-day ( Read more... )
