Ok California jeans-and-flip-flop wearing girls.... This morning Minime was getting dressed. She was wearing a fun colorful shirt with rhinestones, and her jeans. She didn't have socks on, so I asked: Me: Are you going to wear flip flops today? MM: WHY WOULD I DO THAT?! See? Hahahahaha. | | Saturday, April 3rd, 2010 | | 10:01 pm |
A letter to my daughter.
Ten years ago tonight, your dad and I went to bed early. The next morning, on April 4, 2000, we got up early and checked into the hospital around 5:30am. I was prepped for surgery, and wheeled into the operating room around 7am. At 7:30am my c-section began, and 24 minutes later, there you were. They held you above the curtain so I could see you, and when you looked at me, I thought my heart would explode. I could barely catch my breath, in such disbelief of this perfect little person that was staring back at me. No crying from you though, just a locked gaze between you and me. In that instant I fell in love with a person I had just met. That was truly love at first sight. I can't believe you will be 10 years old tomorrow. The years have flown. I remember being 10, and thinking I was "so grown up." I was so boy-crazy, such a "Look at me!!" type of kid. You, thank goodness, aren't. You don't need boys to pay attention to you. You would rather have them laugh at your joke than ask to be your boyfriend. You have your bike, your animals, your cousins and your friends, and boys aren't that important (yet). After all, you ARE only 10. I'm so glad you're being a little girl for as long as you can. You do love your share of attention, being an only child and the oldest grandchild on both sides of the family. You have commanded all of our attention many times, in your frilly princess dresses, at the piano bench, and riding your bike ("Watch me! Watch me!"). But in your group of friends at school, you are the observer. You have always been careful to watch the other kids first before deciding if you want to join. You got that quiet observance from your dad. You stand up for your friends, and also for kids who are being bullied or that have had a bad day. I love that about you. You are so funny, and so sweet. I love it when your friends see you and come running for a hug. I would've loved to have had you as a friend at 10 years old! So many people have told us how polite you are, and how kind you are. They think you're a great kid. So do we! You have your dad's feet, and your mom's hands. Your "distaste" for schoolwork is from your dad, your piano playing and love of music is from your mom. We're not sure where you got your love of black olives though. Even at 10, you still believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. That's fine with us, we want you to be a kid as long as you can. Enjoy every second of it. Childhood is a gift, but I really think that your dad and I have been given the biggest gift of all. Your dad wrote that in your birthday card tonight, that your birthday was the best thing to ever happen to both of us, and it's true. We have had such an amazing decade with you. So many firsts, yet so many more to come. And for every one, we will always be here for you. Even when we're not with you, you can look in the mirror and see us staring back at you. You are so loved. Happy Birthday, to my baby girl. | | Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 | | 6:57 pm |

Welcome home Raven. Welcome home.
We rescued Raven from the humane society yesterday. She is already a perfect fit for our family and gets along with Bandit like best buds. She's so good and we love her!  | | Thursday, August 27th, 2009 | | 9:21 pm |

Nothing of substance here.
Yes I'm alive. I'm addicted to Facebook so that's where I am most of the time. Since I can access it quickly with my Blackberry, I hardly step into this room anymore to get on the computer. Anyway, am I the last one to see this? I nearly peed my freaking pants. | | Friday, May 1st, 2009 | | 6:37 pm |
Whew glad this week is over!
#1 Bandit is back! He returned sometime yesterday afternoon. He has a few scrapes on an arm, and we're babying him to death. Of course he is loving life since he gets to come in the house (until he pees and we kick has ass back outside) and eat hot dogs. #2 We are proud owners of 4 new kittens. Yikes. #3 I'm out the door for girls night. Talk to you guys soon. | | Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 | | 9:34 pm |
This is when I hate being a parent.
I took this picture Saturday. This afternoon when we all got home from school and work, he was missing. We have driven up and down the gravel roads with her yelling, "Come on Bandit, come on Bubba!" out the window. She cried herself to sleep.  | | Saturday, April 25th, 2009 | | 6:48 pm |
Auntie Em!
Look EH, red radar!!  And we have a funnel cloud coming down....  It's about 50 miles southwest of here. Hopefully it'll pass south of us. I like my house and reaaallly want to keep it. | | Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 | | 6:41 pm |
IT'S NOT A TUMOR!!!!
3 women and 1 man felt me up today, and I didn't catch any of their names. That was weird. I had my first mammogram today. Not sure what all of the fuss is about, because it wasn't that bad. Then again I've had a reduction, and woke up from that surgery with stitches and staples EVERYWHERE. Apparently nothing boob-related scares me at this point. Also had an ultrasound just to be double-sure THAT I'M FINE!! I have a keloid, and some calcification, but other than that, everything is peachy. They said to just be aware and feel my boobies (so feel yours!!) and come back in a year. I'm a little bummed about starting yearly mammograms already (I'm only 32!) but it's better than not knowing. You know? I'm babbling. Happy. WHOOOOOOOOOO! Anyway, carry on about your day. Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts and well wishes. Now everyone go do your self exams tonight. | | Sunday, April 12th, 2009 | | 8:59 am |
Happy Easter.
First Easter without Granny. It's funny because none of us were ever super-close, huggy/touchy/feely or anything, but since she's been gone I have missed her so much. I have especially noticed how beautiful the sunrises have been since she's been gone, I always tell Minime that Granny has a hand in the pinks and purples of the sunrise, since those are Minime's favorite colors. This morning was an especially pretty sunrise. I hope to feel her singing hymns with us today at church. Miss you, Granny.   | | Saturday, April 4th, 2009 | | 7:01 am |
Wow.
9 years ago, at this exact time, I was being wheeled into an operating room. Less than an hour later, we would meet the love of our lives. At that time she weighed 8 pounds and her foot was as long as my middle finger. Now she has a size 6 foot and is only about 8 inches shorter than me. She is still the love of our lives, and we're so glad God gave her to us. | | Sunday, February 8th, 2009 | | 12:41 am |
What ever happened to predictability......
I was just totally 15 feet from Dave Coulier. Of course a large window and a locked door separated us but he did wave! I soooo wanted to do the motions for, "CUT! IT! OUT!!" but I refrained. Got a good shot of the back of his head, too! Off to bed we go. It's Hubby's birthday. :) | | Friday, January 9th, 2009 | | 6:06 pm |

Oooh. Owwww.
I am so scaly and dry-skinnish lately that I decided I needed a Buf Puf. Remember those? I didn't even know they MADE them anymore, and lo and behold I found one in the Price Chopper earlier this evening. I didn't remember quite how rough a "regular" is though. I guess I need to get an "extra gentle" or whatever they're called, because WOW I feel like my skin is raw, and I didn't even buff that hard!!! So yeah, dead ugly scaly skin, BE GONE!!! You are no match for my Buf Puf!! Using the Buf Puf has really taken me back in time. I feel like I should be drinking Cherry 7-Up (isn't it cool in pink?) while listening to The Bangles and ratting my hair. | | Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 | | 1:12 pm |
