a few of my favorite things.....

I have to share a couple of things that I've been enjoying, loving, watching, reading.....First the movie. We rented My Sassy Girl--loved it. It's not at the Redbox, so you'll have to splurge and go to Blockbuster or Hollywood, but it's totally worth it. Second the book, I just finished reading A Guide to the Birds of East Africa by Nicholas Drayson. It was quirky and fun-a perfect match for the movie mentioned above. I laughed out loud several times during the book and even had to read parts to Cory because I was giggling so much. He even giggled with me. hahahehe. Third summer nights--take advantage of these gloriously warm evenings. It's the perfect temperature to stroll, sit in the grass, look at the stars, which brings me to summer mornings-the breeze coming in the window, cool sheets, walking, listening to the birds, sprinklers, smellings the trees and grass--ahhh then the infamous hot afternoons perfect for swimming, lazying around and sitting under the swamp cooler. All of you with central air are totally missing out. I LOVE SUMMER! I love to be hot and sweaty, sticky from juicy melons, blue tongued from licking popsicles--craving ice cream and watching it melt off the cone....ahhh summer--I wish it could last forever....I need to move to Hawaii and vacation somewhere to board and snowshoe.

I would totally have to agree with you. I think that I am partial to the warmer weather, but would love to vacation to cooler places to get in the winter activities.

Perhaps I will read that book - What is it about?

the book is about the birds in East Africa-kind of and about an older man and a bet. I know it sounds boring, but it's written so well and the story is great--plus you fall in love with the older man. It's a great book--you should read it. I'm even going to buy it.

Alas I speak

First of all it was easy to get that Widget of the Baby on, but I have no idea how to get if off. It's not that I don't want to remove it, I just don't know how. I'm not the smartest blogger on the block. I bet there is some button that says remove widget somewhere. So the big day finally arrived-if you want to know as little as possible I suggest that you read no further, but just scroll down and enjoy the pictures. I slept in on Thursday(last week)-it was glorious. I straightened my hair, shaved my legs and just slowly got ready for work. I then decided that it was essential that I pick up baby wipes from Costco. My body must have known that I would be needing them soon. I'm walking around Costco and all of the sudden I pee my pants. I was looking all around for a bathroom, but I couldn't see one anywhere. I thought well it was just a little leak and I know there is a bathroom at target and they are usually pretty clean. So I head over to target and I continue...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

Whaaaaat??????

I'm happily brushing my teeth in the bathroom. I'm looking around wondering what else I could be doing while I'm brushing my teeth and I started to think to myself, hmmmm , I wonder what's in toothpaste? I picked up the tube with my free hand and continued brushing. As I was reading the back I noticed a WaRnINg : Do not use for more than four weeks at a time. What? Do not use for more than four weeks? I anticipated reading if you swallow more than what you are brushing your teeth with call poison control. I try to start adding up how long I've been using this toothpaste. Cory didn't like it, so I've been using it solo and it has surely been more than four weeks. Now I don't know what to do with it--do I take a break and come back to it or do I just keep using it? I mean it's been about three months and I still have quite a bit left and nothing seems out of the ordinary yet...But seriously I think that the warning on the toothpaste should at least be...
