Monday, August 25 - Recovering from the weekend!
My boyfriend's sister Rebecca got married on the beach this weekend... we had a BLAST - the weather was perfect, friends and family were all there, it was great... Kyla made a few new friends - there were three 4 year old little girls there... and it was just a really great weekend... the only thing that sucks is NOW I AM SICK!!!  I was already feeling kind of blah anyway, but the lack of
Wednesday, August 13 - Random pics of art, pets, the porch, and my kid!
Here are some pictures I took the other day for no apparent reason... I just figure I haven't taken any pictures lately so here are a few...



A piece of Kyla's artwork from summer camp!  I'm going to make a collage of the best ones to hang up somewhere in the house... it's on the list of crafty things to do this winter when I'm bored!



Our back deck, which I'm pretty psyched
Thursday, August 7 - My boyfriend the storm chaser - pics!
CRAZY weather around here this afternoon and tonight!!





My boyfriend is on his way to Philadelphia tonight... I did not want him to leave because of all the severe weather warnings, the tornado warning, the hail, the wind, etc. but of course Mr. Don't Worry About It I'll Be Fine is on his way down 84... He took some pretty cool pictures of the storm - he's driving right along side it
Tuesday, August 5 - My poor hibiscus...
Before I type this I should probably do a quick Google search which I've been meaning to do for a while... but regardless of what the results of it are, I am still annoyed and discouraged about my poor hibiscus tree!!!

I bought this tree a few months ago, before we moved, because I'd seen them a few times and the flowers are just SO PRETTY... they are HUGE and BRIGHT and UNIQUE... but the
Monday, August 4 - Brooke Knows Best is THE WORST!!!
I think Brooke Knows Best is the absolute WORST show on TV right now!!!!!!!  IT is SO phony and stupid... I can't believe they actually went through with putting it on the air... and the saddest thing to consider is that they filmed her pretty much non-stop for months and the BEST stuff they could come up with is the stupidity that is the show.  She was on the beach and she TOTALLY
Friday, August 1 - Base touching and email shooting...
Seriously, I have had enough of the phrases "let's touch base" and "shoot me an email" - they are grating on my nerves.  They're corporate America-isms and since I've really started going cajones to the wall with my website I've been doing a lot of "business woman" type stuff during the day and I keep hearing these phrases or seeing them in emails... then my ex
Thursday, July 31 - It's August already???
Something isn't right.  It's just about August (in 3 more hours) and I do not have a tan yet!!!  It's just been too busy of a summer to spend any time laying out I guess... or it's been too hot to even bother laying in the sun... Now we have a huge deck and a big yard but I've been working on my website during the day - or sleeping which is what I did today - so no tan for me!

I'm on
Tuesday, July 29 - Roo Roo Root Canal!
I got a root canal over the weekend... super fun stuff right????????  Friday you probably heard me whining about my toothache... well by the time I got home it was so bad I had to take a painkiller that my boyfriend had from his massive hand injury (which is healing quite nicely by the way)... So Saturday morning first thing I went to Columbia Dental and they checked me out... and just as I
Thursday, July 24 - Kid Rock's Waffle House Brawl - Video!
Here it is in all it's glory... The Kid Rock Waffle House Brawl caught on video... Look at him in his pristine white pants and shirt jumping on the booth to put the smack down on this dude... crazy!!  It turned into quite a melee... Someone definitely needs the anger management.  I have always liked Kid Rock's music, but he so needs to wash his hair!!

Anyway, what else is going
Monday, July 21 - CABBAGE PATCH MANIA 25 YEARS LATER?!?!
OH IT IS ON!!!!

So here is the deal... anyone who has followed my blogs for a while or who knows me knows I have a large collection of Cabbage Patch Kids... and that I just love them.  So how exciting is THIS... it's been 25 years since CPK mania started... and now Play Along is releasing kids that look just like the originals!!!  I have been pretty disappointed with the last several
Saturday, July 19 - Happy birthday to my sister!!
Today is my sister's 28th birthday, and that makes me feel extremely old.  I mean, I'm 30, so I feel old enough as it is, but the fact that my younger sister will be 30 soon and I'll be 33 and then it'll basically be like we might as well be the same age... ugh.  And my little bro is 25 now... it's just ridiculous how time flies...

We've been moving all week... All things
WARNING: Pictures of my boyfriend's BLOODY CUT are in this post!!!
Yesterday should be called Thursday Bloody Thursday!!

We went to the aquarium.  It was fun.

Then I got a "I don't want you to panic but..." phone call from my boyfriend!  He sliced his hand open climbing a fence... runnin' from the law... no actually, he has a boat stored at his friend's boat yard, and he went over to take a look at it and see what condition it's in
Wednesday, July 9 - Guitar Hero Aerosmith a big let down!!
OMG I AM SO UPSET!!!

You know I have been dying to get the Aerosmith Guitar Hero... It came out last month, we haven't had much time to play lately anyway so I wasn't running out to buy it... but today we were in Wal Mart and we picked it up... We rushed to get home so we could play for a bit before picking Kyla up at camp... I was all psyched to rock out to all kinds of good Aerosmith
Tuesday, July 8 - Overgrowth at the drive-thru
Yeah so today we went to the drive-thru, I won't say which one because you never know who would pitch a fit and think they were being picked on, but here's the story...

We go to the drive thru, and there are these HUGE flowers... tonsof them.... HUGE... beautiful orange and yellow flowers... and they're so freaking tall we couldn't see half the menu!!!  Seriously, we could see combos 1-4
Monday, July 7 - I still need a tan.
The summer is in full swing and I still don't have much of a tan!  I have a little color on my face and the top of my body, but my scrawny legs are still pasty white!  I haven't had a chance to lay out... We're moving in a week, so once weare all set up at our new house I'll be laying out on the back deck... we'll have a nice big yard and a nice big deck!

I'm really excited about
Wednesday, July 2 - I ate cookie dough today
It's so wrong and so juvenile, but who doesn't love a good spoonful of cookie dough once in a while?  I sure do.

I'm so tired... about 15 minutes before I had to leave for work I had a bout of narcolepsy while sitting on the couch!  I just put the computer aside and dozed off.  Kyla was playing on the other laptop and watching Bindi the Jungle Girl and I fell asleep for a few
Monday, June 30 - HOT HOT HOT WEEKEND!
Wow it was HOT this weekend... We went to a wedding in Newport, it was beautiful and so much fun... but it was HOT as hell!!!  The wedding was outside, our friend has a beautiful house with a huge yard, so they had a nice white tent with all the tables and a dance floor set up... waitresses and catered food, and a bartender...  Kyla looked adorable in her pink and black dress, I thought
Thursday, June 26 - Mom can I have 80 bucks?
Seriously my little home skillet 4 year old asked me if she could get a toy between 10 and 80 bucks at Target!!  When the babysitter got to our house tonight she said she had to go to do some errands at Target, so Kyla comes up to me and asks if she can spend 80 dollars on a toy.  EIGHTY BUCKS!!!  SHE IS FOUR!!!  I said no, you get nothing... She honestly hasn't been all that
Tuesday, June 24 - My bed.
All I can think about right now is my bed.  I was trying to take a nap earlier today but I really couldn't get to sleep, and now I just feel like I want that darn nap!!  Our water bed is so comfortable... I love it.  I was a little scared of getting a water bed because of the motion issue, but ours is AWESOME.  2 more hours...

I need to get my roots done SO BAD.  I am
Monday, June 23 - My baby is growing up!!!
Look at this picture of my little baby...



Doesn't she look SO OLD!!!!  She's pretty proud of the fact that she is 4 now.  She is constantly telling everyone she meets "I'm 4"... We went to Bed Bath & Beyond the other day to get a gift for my friend's bridal shower and she told the lady at the check out "I'm 4!"  When I dropped her off at her first day
Thursday, June 19 - Chuck E Cheese where a kid can be a kid!
My friend and I took our kids to Chuck Cheese today... they had a blast.  It wasn't very busy so I could just kick back and chow down on pizza while she ran around playing... she kept doing the portrait thing, but she thought it was funny to move away from the circle where you're supposed to put your face so that when it took the picture it got the wall... I don't know, the strangest things
Monday, June 16 - What a Wiggly Hot Weekend!!
We had a GREAT weekend... it was SO HOT at The Wiggles meet & greet/show on Saturday but the kids loved it... We had a good group and I took TONS of pictures... Craig's nephew Willie was so excited, he is obsessed with The Wiggles.  They were nice... We went to the meet & greet early in the morning and then walked around the park for a while, did some rides, and then went to The
Friday the 13th!!!
Yeah it's Friday the 13th, and it kind of felt like one.  I had a ridiculously HORRIBLE nightmare last night... I don't even want to get into what it was about, but it was one of those nightmares that haunts you all day even though it was JUST A NIGHTMARE!! 

RENTERS BEWARE.  If you are renting an apartment or house from an individual (or even a company), you should check with
Tuesday, June 10 - Uhhhhhh...
I'm at a loss for a subject.  Any time I sit here with my hands over the keys trying to think of a subject, I just go duh...  If I can't think of a subject, usually it means I don't have anything to talk about.  That's pretty much thecase tonight.

I cleaned the bathroom today.  I've washed my hands with nice smelly soap 3 or 4 times since, but my hands still smell
Monday, June 9 - The bus broke down...
Oh I've got a good story for you!

Saturday I went to NYC with Craig's sister Becca and his mom... We did a girl's trip to see Legally Blonde: The Musical.  It was awesome... We had a great day.  We took a bus through his mom's work... The ride down was pretty cool, we just talked and chilled out... When we got there we did some shopping (in the gross humid heat) on Canal Street and
Thursday, June 5 - Bleeding love...
Kyla likes to sing Bleeding love in the back of the car.  Cracks me up.

I have another busy weekend coming up... Tomorrow we have a playdate, although the weather is supposed to SUCK again so who knows what we'll end up doing... I'm psyched for Saturday, I'm going to see Legally Blonde on Broadway with my boyfriend's mom and sister... GIRLS ONLY TRIP!!!  Then Sunday I'm taking Kyla
Monday, June 2 - Park hopping is the new club hopping!
So my friend and I have decided that "park hopping is the new club hopping" - she has 2 kids, 2 and a newborn, and I have Kyla of course, and we're going to start having playdates at different parks all over the place... We already went tothe park near her house in Rocky Hill, we have to go to our park in Newington, Norton Park in Plainville where I was this weekend for a birthday
Thursday, May 29 - HEADACHE!!
Really that's all I can tell you right now is I've had a headache all day... I hate when I get headaches.  They are "tension" headaches but I am not tense about anything!!  Life is good, the weather is getting nice, my daughter is with me, the bills are paid, the house is clean, my boyfriend is the best, we have lots of summer plans, but for some reason my body thinks I'm
Tuesday, May 27 - WHAT A HOT DAY!
I can't believe how hot it was today!!  I mean, we had a nice weekend, but when I stepped outside today I couldn't believe how humid and steamy it was!!  I think we're in for a hot summer... so happy our place has good AC!  

We had a great weekend... We went out for dinner and some drinks Saturday night, went to Newport on Sunday, and yesterday I worked and went to a
Thursday, May 22 - David Cook won, see his chopper!!
Click here to see the pictures of the custom American Idol bike given to David Cook... All the Idol winners and the judges, and Ryan, are on it... It's so blue and cheesy!!!

I was PSYCHED to see David Cook win last night.  There was so much hype over Archuleta that I just wasn't sure... Clearly David Cook is hotter and has more of a pop/rock appeal... Archuleta will do well I'm sure, but
Wednesday, May 21 - Idol Finale and THE PARK!!
The AI finale is tonight.  Can't wait.  I think David Cook got a bum deal last night, really.  It's so obvious they favor David Archuleta, and at this stage of the game I just don't agree with how they praised "Archie" all night and kind of swept Cook aside... I do have to say though, David Cook has a great voice but the way he pronounces a lot of things when he sings is
Monday, May 19 - Bowling, golfing, over-watering...
Yes this weekend I took Kyla bowling for the first time with some friends!  She LOVED it... Pictures coming tomorrow... I just didn't have time to get to them today.  I also taught her how to play Wii bowling.  She doesn't quite have it down yet, she doesn't understand how to hold the button down and when to release it, but she got a few good balls in and she had a blast trying...
Thursday, May 15 - How was your day?
My kid is so cute.  When Lindsay showed up to babysit tonight Kyla says, "hey Lindsay, how was your day?"  Isn't that so sweet???  She's the greatest.  We colored today and she ate a pear, strawberries, and blueberries.  She was all about the "healthy treats" today.  

I'm exhausted for some reason.  It doesn't seem to matter how
Tuesday, May 13 - Happy b-day Bea Arthur & I hate Play-Doh!
Seriously, I freaking HATE play-doh.  It is one of the messiest substances on the earth and we give it to children to "play" with... My daughter happens to love it, but it's only on rare occasions that I take it down off the high shelf and let her do her thing because it is such a huge pain in the keyster to clean up!!!  Of course today I let her play with it - basically
Monday, May 5 - I guess I should say Cinco De Mayo!
I'm not celebrating though... Well, maybe I'll make myself a margarita when I get home.  Then again, I don't have any tequila... I think I have some malibu and pineapple though... I'll have one of those, it'll do, right?

I started doing the OnDemand workouts this weekend... and by started doing them, I mean I did one.  And I'm going to do another one when I get home.  I was so
Thursday, May 1 - A day in the life...


This is a little video of what I do all day... Not a bad gig :)

I'm having vloggers block.. I don't know what to put in my video blogs. I'll figure it out. I had a little encounter with a spider earlier and turned the camera on, but I LOST... That little bugger is still somewhere in the studio, I am just trying not to think about it.

So I have an appearance tomorrow - Sovereign Bank
Wednesday, April 30 - A Vlog about booties and Neil Diamond...


Here's my first "on camera" vlog... What do you think?  I am so self-conscious about this.  I've never really tried to be someone I am not, I just can't do that, so this is me... I'm a dork, but this is what you get.  

You have to admit those freaking VS booties are cute.  I wear them around the house ALL the time.  We have hardwoods so I don't slip
Tuesday, April 29 - Top of the mornin'
Yeah it's 8am.  I can't sleep late anymore.  I should sleep later, but I can't.  I wake up and that's it, I get up for the day... I will most likely make myself go back to sleep for a little while since I was up until 4am working on something, but for now I am awake... In my most comfortable water bed!

Seriously, this thing is awesome.  I sleep so well on it and it is so
Friday, April 25 - Just happy it's Friday.
That's all, I'm just glad Friday is finally here.  This has been a long week.  It isn't that I'm so overworked or anything all that stressful went down, I just didn't get much sleep this week at all and I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow.  We're going out tomorrow night for our friend's birthday... although after the phone call I just got I'm not so sure he'll be recovered and ready
Thursday, April 24 - Two nights in a row!?!?!
Yeah what is wrong with me???  The last two nights in a row I have gone home, watched Idol, and then proceeded to stay up until 4 o'clock in the morning tooling around with my new website.  I really am a night owl.  I think better at night, I feel more creative at night, and I just get this burst of energy when I get out of work!!  It's not good though, because I don't sleep
Tuesday, April 22 - I love my water bed.
My cutie boyfriend and I got a new waterbed... I have slept so well in it.  The first night was a little weird, but now that I am used to it I never want to sleep anywhere else... It is so comfortable.  And warm.  And soft.  We have those modal sheets from Bed Bath & Beyond... seriously the best sheets you can buy.  And they're not very expensive at all.  The bed
Monday, April 21 - I am a guitar hero!!
I ROCKED out to Guitar Hero ALLLLL day today.  We borrowed it from my boyfriend's nephew for our get together yesterday and now I can barely type because my fingers are so f'd up from playing!!  If you play it for a while, it starts to look like the walls behind the TV are moving... and then when you look away from the screen the room starts bouncing... It's insane.  They're coming
Saturday, April 19 - Woo hoo for the weekend!!
I'm so happy the weekend is here!!  I'm at work right now, I'm on 10-3 today, which is a pretty cool shift - except for the fact that it's 79 degrees and sunny out and I want to be outside!!  The last few days have been gorgeous but I haven't been able to enjoy them because I've been plugging away on the website... It's getting there.  I figured out how to do the podcasts, so
Wednesday, April 16 - Watching AI!
I'm watching American Idol right now.  And you know me, I watch the clock all night so I can go home and watch, but last night... I didn't end up watching it!

I came home and my boyfriend had made a bubble bath for me, with candles lit, he even had DELILAH on for me so I could listen to relaxing music!  It was awesome!!  I just slid back on the bath pillow and played with the
Tuesday, Aprile 15 - Clean, shop, eat, work.
That was my day.  We went to look at a new place today... it wasn't that nice.  Of course they show the beautiful kitchen in the picture and then the rest of the house is gross... The rugs were stained, the decor was atrocious (dark green walls with floral trim YUCK!!!)  I love the place we live in now, but for reasons beyond our control we think it's better if we move... The
Monday, April 14 - A great surprise, a great weekend, a new orchid!
I had a GREAT weekend... I have a ton of video to put together but I wanted to share this one right away... We surprised Kyla at the National Zoo in DC... here's the footage of her coming up the hill on her dad's shoulders and her reaction when she saw me.  She is so cute.  We had a blast at the zoo, and according to her dad she is still talking about it!  



I have a lot
Thursday, April 10 - HOT MESS!!!!
Ever since my cousin and I went to see Chelsea Handler we have been calling each other "hot mess" and she actually sent me a link to the definitions of a hot mess in the Urban Dictionary.  There are a ton of definitions, she says "clearly we are #14" - check it out...

Click here!

I have another good word for you that my cousin got me into but I'll save that for
Wednesday, April 9 - SURPRISE! And my first VLOG!
Well, I've posted videos before but this is my first official VLOG.  I've actually been thinking about doing this for a while but I haven't had the time or the motivation with everything else going on... but for some reason I was moved to do ityesterday.  So my boyfriend saw this and was a little p'd at me because he thinks I make it sound like we're a couple of serious slobs - we're
Tuesday, April 8 - My super clean house!
Hooray!  The cleaning company is upstairs working their magic... It's not like we are slobs or anything, but this place gets so dusty and we are so busy that I never really get to do a deep cleaning... it's getting done today!  TAG Cleaners in West Hartford - call Patty, she's awesome and affordable.  Jeannine told me about her a few weeks ago while we were shooting the breeze
Thursday, April 3 - SHE DID IT AGAIN????
Just as I was about to sit here and write my daily ramblings about American Idol and Moment of Truth, among other important things, my ex IM'd me to inform me that OUR DAUGHTER STUCK SOMETHING UP HER NOSE AGAIN LAST NIGHT!!!

WHAT?????!!!!!

Yes, if you recall, back in January my now 4 year old daughter Kyla had to go to the ER because we discovered - after months of concern - that she had
Wednesday, April 2 - You've only begun to Shine.
Apparently Anna Nalick's new song "Shine" is for anyone who has made mistakes in a public way... On her official website Anna wrote about the song and why she wrote it, who the inspirations for the song are, and it seems like she wrote it for people like Britney, Paris, Lindsay, Amy, and all the other girls in Hollywood who are stereotyped and judged, etc... Check out www.annanalick.com
Tuesday, April 1 - APRIL FOOL'S DAY!
Don't be a fool today.  If anyone tries to tell you they are leaving the country, having a baby, quitting their job, getting a sex change, or anything else that doesn't seem possible - it's probably an April Fool's Day joke.  I have a feeling my boyfriend is going to try to pull something on me... he already got me good last night.  He sent me a text message telling me the joke he
Monday, March 31 - A sweet 4th birthday party!!
I would have to say that Kyla had a super sweet 4th birthday party this weekend!  We had so much fun... and I took over 160 pictures!!  We played pin the decal on the Pony, my sister made an AWESOME pony cake, everyone wore their little pony hats, even the boys, the adults had fun playing Guitar Hero (we don't own it someone brought it over but I have a feeling we might own it soon!),
Friday, March 28 - TFGIF!!!!
You know what the extra F means, I'm sure!

Really, I'm so happy it's Friday.  I don't have to work this weekend.  And tomorrow is Kyla's birthday party and I'm PSYCHED!!  My boyfriend went this morning to get her big present, I can't wait to see it!!  She is going to be so happy!!

We still have to go grocery shopping for the party... Tonight we're going to dinner with my
Thursday, March 27 - A million things to do...
And a million more on my mind!

OK, maybe not a million, but it sure feels like it!  

I made my first ever "vlog" last night... that's the new thing, video blogging... rather than typing, you just videotape yourself saying or doing whatever and then you post it.  So as I was cleaning my mess of a house I decided to pick up my camera and start talking to it... only I
Wednesday, March 26 - On Ah-MER-ican Idol!
Ugh, Ryan Seacrest is SO annoying.  He's apparently said he wants to be the next Dick Clark... whatever pretty boy.

Anyway, what did you think of Idol last night?  

I was SO disappointed in Carly Smithson, what was she doing with that Total Eclipse of the Heart song?  I don't know... obviously I love that song - who doesn't - but it just didn't fit her, and the way she
Tuesday, March 25 - I knew I would end up SICK!!!!
I am so pissed, I am sick!!!!

I felt it coming on yesterday, my boyfriend has been sick for over a week, and I told him to stay away from me but of course Mr. Needy couldn't go without cuddling and giving me kisses (I know I am a jerkfor complaining about that) so here I am with my Emergen-C, DayQuil, 2 kinds of cough drops, can of chicken soup, OJ, water, and nasal spray.  I told my
Easter pictures!
Here they are... super cuteness, I know.










Totally adorable, I know.  I gotta run and get some work done before I go pick her up!

Peace!

Me
Monday, March 24 - 6 days til my baby turns 4!!
It's been decided, 100%, we will be having a My Little Pony party to celebrate Kyla's 4th birthday.  Should be super fun.

I really am a dork, because I think I am more excited about this party theme than she is.  I loved MLPwhen I was a kid.  What didn't I love?  Cabbage Patch, Strawberry Shortcake, My Child (those are worth serious loot these days), Barbies, My Friend
Good Friday, March 21 - Pretty flowers!!
OK I am SUCH A DORK, Jeannine made fun of me this morning - until she saw the pictures... I have mentioned I am into flowers and plants (well the plants I killed) and yesterday as I was wondering aimlessly around the house I decided to take some pictures of my flowers... I got some really nice ones the other day and they are just opening up.  I was shocked to see how great these pictures
The $17,000 Pacifier...


From www.personalizedpacifiers.com - They actually have some really cute personalized stuff, that isn't TOO expensive, so check it out if you are looking for some cute and unique baby gifts!

How insane is that thing??
Thursday, March 20 - A great cup of coffee, happy spring!
What a lovely first day of Spring!  Not.

At least the girl at DD made my coffee right today, it's excellent.  

I just bought a ton of fresh flowers for my house last night... I tried some new kinds, and Igot some white roses, I am really trying to learn about flowers... I'm such a dork.  I gave plants a shot and ended up killing them, at least flowers are supposed to
March 19 - Why I feel like an idiot, a Kyla video, and American Idol
1. Why I feel like an idiot:  Yesterday there were a bunch of sites claiming Halle Berry named her baby Clara Stella Berry Aubrey... I thought that sounded weird and just didnt' fit, and I didn't really believe it, but since it was on a number of websites I figured it must be correct... so I posted it to mine, made a poll about it on this site, talked about it on the air, reported it in my
Tuesday, March 18 - Wow two in one day!!
Multiple posts today... sweet, huh?

Actually, I just loaded the pictures from the weekend (some of them anyway) and since I don't know how to "edit" a previous post I'm making a new one.  I thought I had more pictures than I did, but here are a few of the kids at the Diego show...  



Kyla, Willie, and Skylin before the show... How cute is Willie in his Diego
Tuesday, March 18 - Ugh Mariah on Idol...
Well at least Paula Abdul won't be the most annoying person on American Idol tonight... Mariah Carey is "guest judging"... I like her new song "Touch My Body" but then I start to think about Mariah getting it on with someone and I get grossed out... she's just nasty to me.  It's the major over the top diva attitude and the fact that she's getting close to 40 years old and
Monday, March 17 - Happy Green Day!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  I actually didn't do anything to celebrate the Irish Day this year... Nothing at all.  My boyfriend went to the parade in Newport, but I had my daughter this weekend so we did all kinds of fun stuff... We went toMA to visit my grandmother, sister, brother, and friend and her daughter on Saturday, and yesterday we went to Go Diego Go at the Chevrolet
Thursday, March 13 - My Coach bag and Build a Bear...
The adventure of the day - West Farms Mall!  My boyfriend had given me a Coach bag for Christmas but it was so similar to the one I already have I decided to wait until the spring purses came out and exchange it... so that was the first order of business at the mall today... I got this one:



Kyla asked me, "what's Coach mama?" and I told her it was a special place where only
Wednesday, March 12 - My baby is here!!!
We picked Kyla up at the airport this morning... she is so cute.  She RAN to me as soon as she saw me in the terminal, it was so cute... and she goes "MOMMY!!!!!" and all these people were looking at us... she just kept hugging me... such a nice feeling... In the car she was whispering to me that she has a boyfriend in her class... and she was trying to make me guess his name but I
Tuesday, March 11 - Me on skis, and Kyla's coming tomorrow!!!


We'll see if that works :)

There's the video of me on skis for the first time... well, actually, I'd already gone up the "magic carpet" and down the hill a few times at this point... I was getting passedby 4 year olds, but whatever!

So my almost four year old will be here tomorrow.  We have so much to do tomorrow... I pick her up, then I have to get birthday gifts
Monday, March 10 - I tried it and I liked it!!!
I went skiing!!  My boyfriend and I went to Killington this weekend and he finally got me on skiis after 2 and a half years of being together... He's told me many times he loves to ski, he used to be an instructor, and that he can never go because I won't try new things, etc... So I finally said FINE we will go for your birthday... his friend has a house up there so we stayed with
Friday, March 7 - My achin' head...
I have a headache.  I've actually had a headache all day.  I had to go to the mall to get my boyfriend a present... so I stopped at Love Pink to return a sweater that ripped on me... I wanted to just exchange it but they didn't have any left, so I got some super comfy PJ pants.  Then I returned a shirt to Express and got some pants on sale... Then I went home and napped until 6:30
Thursday, March 6 - What not to rent...
Don't bother renting the Darjeeling Limited if you had any intention of doing so.  I wanted to see it because Owen Wilson is cute and it was compared to The Royal Tennenbaums, but it was awful.  I actually managed to not fall asleep while watching it this afternoon, but it wasn't good.  There were a few odd moments that could be considered funny, but it really just didn't do
Wednesday, March 5 - I want spring, I want spring!!
I just can't wait for spring!  At least it wasn't too cold today, but the dreariness is wearing on me!!  I did nothing all day today, again.  I just have nothing to do... I don't want to go out, because going out, even just to lunch or an early dinner, means spending money, and I just don't want to do that... I'm saving for my new car, which I hope to get before my daughter comes
Monday, March 3 - U2-3D Rocks!!!
We had a great weekend!  My boyfriend and I went to see the U2-3D movie on Saturday night.  It was SO GOOD.  One of the coolest things I've seen!  It's an hour and twenty minute concert, they do tons of their hits, and it's in 3D.  It's just ridiculously cool.  Definitely worth the $13.50 a ticket - which is a little more than a regular movie but that includes the
Friday, February 29 - The extra day...
February 29th is so bizarre to me... an extra day... It's just weird.  I feel bad for anyone born today, they'll only get a real birthday every 4 years!  

Today was another lazy day... we had a busy day yesterday, but today we did nothing.  Nothing at all.  He made me breakfast (around lunch time) and we watched the Michael Clayton movie - the one George Clooney was
Wednesday, February 27 - Sleepy sleepy sleepy...
I don't know if it's because I had such a crazy weekend, or because I'm taking a different medication (yes I'm on cuckoo pills everybody!!!), or if it's because of the winter blues and crappy weather lately, or if it's too much laziness, but I am sotired!!  I can not get enough sleep the last few days... I sleep all night, wake up, have breakfast, work on my website, and by noon I am ready
Tuesday, February 26 - It's a rainy day, it's a rainy day...
Yeah what a crappy day!  But at least it isn't snowing!!  At least it wasn't snowing when I came into work, hopefully it hasn't gotten cold.

Today was pretty chill.  My boyfriend and I went to Papa Gino's for lunch thento see his grandmother in the hospital - she is doing much better!  My grandmother is recovering from her surgery too... I was so worried about them but
Monday, February 25 - So tired, so very tired!
I am still recovering from the weekend!  We had quite a crazy one... Saturday night was the Stand show at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC... and the after party til 6am... I didn't drink an ounce of alcohol, but I rallied and made it through the night and had a blast... This band is so talented and they sound so good, we are still hoping something happens for them because they deserve to be
Friday, February 22 - MB20 & Alanis ROCKED!!
I went to see Alanis Morisette and Matchbox Twenty last night in Albany with my friend Sandy... we were in the 2nd row right smack in the mid
