I couldn't think of any title (Day 8)

You would think that life is perfect, but then something comes up and you are back at the beginning, wondering if there will ever be a day when everything's perfect.

I have always thought that... like in High school, I finally was cool enough, but then we graduated and went to college, and I was a no-one, albeit cool anyway cause by that point I didn't care anymore.

I wonder if it's just something that happens that eventually you don't care what people think of you, because some days I care, but lately more and more, I just don't give a damn. I don't care what people think of my clothes, my weight, my profession, my life.

I care what I think, and maybe my immediate family. I am usually an agreeable person, but lately I get the feeling that the world is a dog eat dog type of place. You gotta look out for #1.

Despite all best intentions, there are days that you don't give a damn. I don't today.

Favorite Shows (Day 7)

What's is going on in Grey's Anatomy? I just got to watch it last night as well as 7th Heaven. I hope that Eric will be okay on there, I can't imagine they would have him croak. I am so liking the DVR cause you can have all the shows you watch stored up, and when the kiddo is asleep going downstairs with a bowl o popcorn and catching up on your favorite shows. I hope my sister gets that soon, then she isn't so stressed if she misses one. I heard someone gets shot on Desperate Housewives.. i really haven't gotten into that show much, but I do love Felicity Huffman's work. She is a great actress.

Ok gotta go and nap. I am tired from MOPS today.

Holy Moly what a day! (Day 6)

So it's been a long day, teething almost 15 month old, clean house (which I stayed up late to help D with), and bath time was so not fun, I got drenched, and after I toweled the lil one dry she pees everywhere... ah, so these are the fun times they are talking about.

How does some little baby get 4 teeth coming in at the same time? I can't imagine the pain.
Poor lil one :(

I am going to clean up and go to sleep. It's been a long long day!

We are coming... (Day 5)

I found out what my Christmas present is.... A trip back to the homeland.. yes we are going to Texas!!!

(and no i don't vote republican!!!)

I am so excited I can barely sit down and concentrate to type this!

Lil S is going to go and meet all our friends and family. I am so so so so so so so excited, and hopefully one day we won't have to leave!

It's still on time (Day 4)

It is still 11:56pm on 11/4/2006... so I am still in under the time for posting for the 4th...

So we had a great day, and we got to see our good friends... it's going to be hard on us moving, since we know nobody there, but I am going to try to stay optimistic.

Not much else.. we are exhausted, and ready to sleep, sorry this post is so late in the evening, i know you were staying up to see what I posted.. but here it is in all of it's not so glory!!!

My computer has a different time than the blogger time listed below :)

Happy Birthday Dad! (Day 3)

My dear dad's birthday is today! Yeah!!! We called and wished him well (we sent a card earlier, and he gets to see the lil one almost every day (we web chat).

I wish we all lived closer, it's hard when we are thousands of miles away, and soon will be tens of thousands of miles away. I am sure my family will rack up the frequent flyer miles real quick. I can't imagine flying 20 hours but will soon find out.

Ok gotta go and help D with finishing up Lil S's bath!
Whew... and then go and work on my NaNoWriMo book... oh did YOU know that D is writing one too? and he said he may be able to do it in 2 weeks rather than the month it's going to take me.

We'll just see about that!!!

Happy People Read (Day 2)

So Nanoing is going well. I am feeling the creative powers somewhat. I don't know where I am taking my characters, but we will see.

In other news we are all still sniffly. And it's been so cold here that it take an hour for me to dall asleep. Why? Because that's how long it takes me to warm up with my sheets.

Wow.. this is what I am trying to write to update my site... no wonder no one ready my site.. HHAHAHA...

I will try to get some pictures updated here later. Keep the one person that reads the site happy!

Yippie Yay (Day 1)

Wow.. here I am... 1 hour into November, and I am feeling a bit creative. I hope this will continue.

Halloween was good, and we got most of our candy in the hand of kids, but we actually had some left and it will be great to have some to nibble on. The only thing that happened was some hooligans smashed a pumpkin on our driveway and the street, but hey that's part of the day...

Lil S went to a few houses near us and she got some candy, she was more excited about holding the candy than eating any of it. I am sure that's not going to last much longer. She does have a little sweet tooth.

Ok Auf Wiedehersehn for now, but I will be back, hopefully as creative as ever when the sun rises, either that or I will only be updating as a vampire if all my creativity leaves during the day.

Halloweening time

Here we are at Almost Halloweening time! We have a couple parties to attend with the lil one, and then the ghouls and goblins come to our house! We stocked up with lots of candy! It will be our last one in CO... kinda sad, but nonetheless exciting. I can't wait to see the lil one's face when people keep ringing the doorbell! We ran out of candy last year, hopefully 4o bucks worth of candy this year won't let that happen this year.

Also I am updating my posts all month long. So everyday unless I am abducted by space aliens I should have a new post/picture/anything up, and I am also trying to write a 50K novel. We will see if I can do both. That is what I am pushing for, along with taking care of an almost 15 month old, and a 27 year old that's about 3!! haha

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Me Writing a Novel? ????

Ok so I have officially done it, and bit the bullet. I am going to be a participant in the 2006 NaNoWriMo this year. I know it will be tough, and I will have to carve out time to do it as I have OTHER responsibilities. I am excited, and have NO clue whatsoever as to what I will write. I hope I will be able to finish. Wish me luck

long time

Oh wow.. it' s been over a month since I updated... whoops...

It's been crazy.. just things are happening, and things are changing.

We are all doing well. Lil S has 4 teeth now, it's exciting, and she is so full of energy!

D is working working working.

In other news, we will be moving next year. While I will be sad to leave all my friends out here and near Bumblebutt, I am excited about the next journey we will embark on.

Other than that, not too much news. Just getting things packed away slowly. You know how much procrastination I have in me... so had to get started now.

Another great picture

Spent the whole day with the munchkin, and couldn't resist taking some pictures! I can't believe I am so lucky to see this cuteness all the time!

Daddy's new hair cut

Ahh the gratuitous picture blog.. there's not too much going on in these parts.. we did end up going to Grand Junction last week... a very scenic and gorgeous landscape on the way there as well as in the city itself. The area near it called Palisade is know for their vineyards and we even bought a bottle of wine.. we have yet to try it though...

Here is a gorgeous shot of the hubs as well as Lil S....I love it. I think it is my best picture yet!
More pictures of the trip are up on Flickr. Enjoy!

She hit it right on the head!

I just got back in town this evening and was catching up on my blog reading, when what I read paralleled somewhat with my own life.

Sarcastic Journalist's (She's under what blogs I read), her August 26the entry I really understood, though the circumstances are different, I completely understood what she was saying.

More to come later... must go to sleep!

Alpaca

I am still alive here.. just hate updating her birthday post.. it's so cute, and I LOVE that song.

D cut all his hair off. It looks good, he says it feels weird, but I think it looks good on him, he has a good head.

Not too much going on here, just the usual, gearing up for the fall to start. I can't wait for the cooler weather, and sweaters. I like sweaters. I might have to look into alpaca. I heard it is even softer than cashmere. And warmer than wool. Sounds toasty and cozy.

Happy 1st Birthday

Chilled wine and Cheerios

D once told me after he read some entries in my blog (post having lil S) that I shouldn't be writing about the baby all the time that the readers (if I still have any...hehe) want to read something very witty and clever about my life. And that's the conundrum. My life is my family, and during most of my day involves taking care of our little girl. She's there every moment when she's awake, taking up my time where I could be out there taking over the world. She just takes over my world. Cheerios and milk have become staples instead of chilled wine and caviar (not that I would have ever tried caviar, I do have a weakness for wine though)

It's coming up on 1 year, and I can't imagine my world any different. It feels like I have conquered a tiny portion of the world. I might not be perfect (there are days that I feel like I am). I am still human and have my own weaknesses, but I have grown up a lot in the last year.

I just feel like I get it now. I am happy being a mom and a wife. I will get a professional life soon, but I know my kids and husband are my lifeline. I know that in my heart of hearts.

When I look back on life I want to make sure that my kids and husband know that they complete my picture of what family means to me. I know this entry is a bit mushy, but I never really understood the whole unconditional love thing that parents have for their kids. I just thought it was overrated, and never thought that I would be one of “those” parents. My parents must have been saints to put up with me from 13-18 years old, day in and day out.

I love you dear Lil S. I hope you know that even when we ground you when you’re a teenager for whatever rule you happen to break.

No matter what this child does I will love her. It’s been an amazing year, I can’t wait to see what her next stage is, and be there for all the ups and downs.

New additions!

Our good friends J and A had a baby boy today (this morning)!
We are so happy for them! I can't wait to meet the lil one!

4

happy anniversary.

Up, Up, and Away

So friends and family in the area: Aug 8 is when we will be celebrating the lil one's big day, so come over. The 9th is actually her birthday, but D is off on the 8th (and not the 9th)...

I can't wait! I know the 1st birthday is more for the parents than the kiddo, but it will be her 1st one, and I want her to enjoy it, and I want to capture it on my camera and preserve it forever.

There are tons of things happening. Our good friends J and A are about to have their baby any day now. Our other friends in Denver (B and G) had a baby girl at the end of May.

Our anniversary is coming up (it's the 4th one for anyone counting) and then D's b-day, then Shiv's b-day. Next year it will be 10 years since D and I have been together. (Yes yes relatives, I know, that would make me 18 years old, back then.) It really feels like we just met. He's the best guy a girl could have. I don't usually mush about stuff like that. But he's just perfect.

(If you're reading this, don't get a puffed up ego. I know we're crazy, but you're a good egg)

Happy Anniversary, Birthday, Lil S's Birthday, almost 10 years together!
