today

Today is the special day that I was hitched to this man:

four stinkin' years ago! Holy Smoley. I like him, he's pretty cool. He tells me he's awesome...

He has sexy short hair now, which I've been begging him to do forever, and I love it! He is also a very stupendous d.a.d. so I got lucky there.

He still makes me laugh and think "who is this kid?" is pure wonderment. This is him making me take a picture of him, and his nacho creations, because he was so proud of himself. In fact he made me take four pictures of said event.

He tries so hard to make everyday special for our family in his own little way.

He loves me, he's kind to me, he takes care of me in all ways. And even when we reach those valleys, each day is still amazing because he just keeps right on trying and loving. We know that we can do anything together. We are sealed together for all of time and eternity, and this is only the beginning. 

Now let's take this post old school, like third grade.

This is what I'm excited about right now: check it out !

A new book just for the ladies, I love it!

Can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

What's new with you?

Last summer I shaved my head, and this summer I fell in love with Robert Pattinson.

Disclaimer: This post is going to ramble, and go much, much too in depth on a subject that neither merits such discourse, nor really quantifies what I'm saying in any way.

It's rather embarrassing, I think it may be the pregnancy hormones. Let's try and sort this out, shall we?

Last Thursday I was going through some boxes of books that my niece had given me, and came across the Twilight series, I thought "what the hay?" and began my quest. So for those that don't know, I am a voracious reader; so of course I just went ahead and crammed all that sappy vampire crap into my head in four days. Excuse numero uno: I'm on Twilight overload. I hate reading books like that, but I can't help it, and then it leaves my all hopped up at the end. I've had too much Edward in my life in the last few days; and this is where it gets confusing. I didn't even really like the freakin books. And I fill in the characters in my head with the movie kids, which I've seen all the movies (as a mini form of torture, although they really are a very succinct cinematic example of melodrama, but that is a discussion for another day..) and so it's a Pattinson/Edward hybrid love triangle going on. Because let's be honest, if you've read the book, Pattinson's Edward is the least accurate thing from the book to movie translation. Which is funny because I don't think he does the worst acting job in the film, but regardless. I told you, this dithers....I did find the fourth book much more complex and interesting, and that may just be because I haven't seen it as a movie yet. I don't know, I think that one is going to be a little more difficult to adapt. We'll see. Regardless, I'm stuck in forever with Edward right now.

true love.

I am

BOLD. I am lively. I wear bold clothes, say bold things, think bold thoughts, and do the boldy bold. I like to take chances, and open myself up to people. I like to talk about things that are hard, and scintillating. Things that make me think, and things that make me want to take action.

A thought?

So I had a thought, that was related to this, which I thought was a great idea, which led me to a different thought...a reminder of a very special acting teacher I once had, Laurie Harrop-Purser. A talented, hilarious, spiritually intune, kind, giving in every sense of the word person. And she really hated when we would put ourselves down in class (I can't do this, I sucked at that, I blah blah blah) so if she caught us, we had to say 5 things we were good at/liked about ourselves. It's HARD, and nerve wracking to do in front of people. So I think that it sounds like a pretty brilliant idea to do on my blog, and to encourage each of you that reads it to either post something similar on your blog, tell someone face to face, or post on this blog. I know you're capable, I know you're talented, and I know that you should be proud of all of that bag a chips with a pickle on the side, but probably aren't. Let your light shine.


#1: I. am. funny. If you hadn't noticed. I like to make people laugh; I hope that I bring lightness into a room with me sometimes, because you know what? Sometimes the everyday everyday-ness is just a little too much, so I say have a good laugh and try to remember that each day really is so special. Each day is filled with little joys if not huge ones. You never know...

I'm so funny, that I have extra; and I'm so awesome, I was able to pass it through my uterus to this little one two punchline.

The Daddy Dude

V waking B on Father's Day

Dad's seem to make the world go round. I know that in our house we're walking the thin line between having a full blown daddy's girl, and I'd be perfectly content with that (gives me a freakin break). Those twinners deserve each other. I am very grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who's guiding me this fabulous life with B, so that I could see him reaching all new levels of potential as a father, husband, and rockin' dude! Love you and your babies!

In California

What'sa poor soul to do?

I have, as usual, been lazy about the bloggies. You see I went to California and haven't taken anytime to download pics to post, so no blog. Then I had an idea for a whole week of posts, but thought that I didn't want to start that till after the photos were up...so instead I sat here in my living room and ran in circles.

Actually, I ate almost a whole pesto-parmesan-tomato focaccia loaf to myself. It was delicious, and I can eat as many carbs as I want because I'm pregnant and going to get fat anyway. Maybe I will do some water ballet later to work it off.

No, I won't, I've never done water ballet. I wish I had though...

Anywho, this is a post to begin more posts. I am going to post a post of the posts that I will post next week. (Did you like that last sentence? It was a gift.)

I'll post for father's day!
Then I'm going to do a series on what I love about myself...bear with me, I'll explain on Monday...
And I will post Californ-I-A pictures.
