Deep breath… ahhhhh.
Relaxing day. We had a great day off work. Went to a winery and had a picnic overlooking the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Luci had a magnificent time. Check out the updated photos posted on the "Luci Goodness" page. Long weekends are da bomb!
Fred, You and the Little Mermaid Can Both go “BLEEP” Yourselves…
My all-time favorite thing to do on the weekends is brunch. Since I kinda have a propensity to eat, that shouldn't surprise any of you. 2nd favorite thing to do on the weekends? After brunch? Sit down with a nice cafe latte with the radio tuned in to a lil' Chicago Public Radio and a little "This American Life" Hilarious. Moving. Inspiring. →
YAY!
Lil' Luci crawled for the first time! AND, Daddy actually got it on video- which amazes me!!! She's been so close for so long now- she was crawling backwards and sideways, just not forwards! It finally happened! At the beginning of the video, you see her new favorite pose (sitting on her knees)- she learned how →
Two Tickets to Paradise!
Hellz yeah! We finally booked our vacation! We're headed to the Bahamas! The countdown is ON. Nothing relaxes me like a beach vacation. I guess you could say I'm a pretty high-strung individual (no snarky comments) so I look forward to a beach vacation every year to completely decompress, recharge and completely relax. Sort of cliche, I know, but I →
No, I Will Determine Who I am!
Now that I have my Luci, I'm constantly thinking of what I want to leave her with; what I want her to learn from me, from life. I always go back to the whole self-confidence issue. I've struggled in this area my entire life and just when I think I'm making headway, I allow something or someone to knock that →
How Do You Know When It’s Love???
Well, I'll tell you, Mr. Sammy Hagar, 2nd best frontman of the raddest band ever to have existed.... It's not JUST something that lasts forever.... and that you both feel together..... Nope. There's much more to it.... It's when your man totally offers to move outta the master bedroom closet into the guest bedroom closet, just to give you more room to →
Big Man Japan
Ummmm.... so, I just heard that they are re-releasing Big Man Japan in theaters across the nation. This shit is good. It's so insanely bizarre and just crazy-weird and just, crazy-wonderful. Austinites were lucky enough to have the world premiere of this movie last year- at Alamo Drafthouse South. And, I was lucky enough to attend. Yeah, me, alone and pregnant →
Gotta Learn to Get Happy Along the Way
Mother's Day. For what seems like forever, it's been a day I've dreaded. I hated walking through stores seeing the signs and cards and constant reminders of one of the hardest days of the entire year for me. Ever since I lost my Mom, my best friend, Mother's Day has just plain sucked. That was compounded with years and years of infertility. →
Oh, date night….
Date night! Why, o, why do you come into my life and leave me so fast? It was fun while it lasted. See you next time, my sweet, sweet date night. This time, I promise it won't be a 3 mo-long wait. I've missed you. Take care, oh date night of mine, take care...... and, I will see you again →
I would like to thank the academy….
Seriously, thank you to all those who nominated me. Your vote of confidence means the world to me. Watch My Award Story Here ....Also, damn.... I can't believe they finally caught on to the whole ponytail thing. Crap.
Juss like Chrisssmesss
The weekends are hard. Actually, I hate the weekends. WHY? You ask. Well, because they make Monday's so darn hard.... that's why! Ok, you're right. I don't hate the weekends. I LIVE for my weekends, in all actuality. My Luci time on the weekends defines my life right now- it's the most cherished part of my life. Weekends and evenings after work. I →
Produit de la Semaine #2
The American Academy of Dermatology has designated May 4th as Melanoma Monday to raise awareness of this serious issue (actually kicks off Melanoma Month). The deadliest form of skin cancer, 115,000 cases of melanoma were diagnosed in the U.S. just last year. One American dies from this disease almost every hour and the rate is steadily increasing, especially among those →
I Wanna Sleep for Weeks… Like a Dog at Her Feet………
C'est Magnifique! I can't wipe the smile off my face. Man Man has go to be one of my favorite bands of late. Thanks to my dear friend Benjie who introduced me to them, what was it, 4 years ago... 5 or so? Times flies!? During SxSw here in Austin. I've loved them ever since. I've seen them what... maybe →
Can’t we all just get along??
Ok, I couldn't resist. This is one awesome commercial, if you haven't seen it already....
No Mo’ Nutz o’ Grapes!
So, I haven't been this sick in a while. I think I'm on the mend, though. Thanks to my sweetie-pie taking the best care of me. Craig is playing Mr. Mom while I get better. I love that he knows just the right soup to get me (chicken tortilla from Central Market); just the right juice (freshly squeezed grapefruit); and →
