It’s a good thing I watched this episode of Conan where he is interviewing the author of “The Wave” right before bed, said the girl who has a recurring tsunami nightmare.
:( Please wish me anxiety free sleep.
Cannoli (spoken: guh-nol) episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay… I miss you Italian-American heritage deliciousness… you sexy pastry you.
(shame, shame iPhone for not knowing that cannoli is a word)
Dec 26 update
Having a tea party with my carpenter/doctor with Jack Johnson documentary on tv as our soundtrack. Fighting my rainy day blues with fists of fury.
I am super excited to play Santa with Kyle tomorrow night. Last year we were not at home so this is our first year to stuff the stockings and place the presents just perfectly under the tree for our little girl. Ho Ho Ho! So pumped!
booya! or should i say, hooyah?

Notes from tonight's meeting:
When you start a sentence with ”I don’t want to be a gossip…” you are being a gossip.
When you don’t want people to get in trouble for something don’t tell the Command Ombudsman. She’s not your friend, she has a responsibility.
When your husband doesn’t like the command don’t confide it in your Ombudsman and his Chief’s wife.

“I’m with me all day."
Last night after hanging out with Shea and Kenlee, I put Cece in her crib and went to go put the clean sheets on my bed.
I found myself reflecting on all the gabbing Shea and I had done while our little toddlers ran in circles, drank too much juice and asked for “mo crakahs” repeatedly. We hit some deep topics and confided things in each other and, more often than not, we got...

rethinking my Christmas present from Kyle
I think I might pass on the iPhone and go for a tattoo… True story: I bought Kyle his tattoo for Christmas 2006 when we were engaged. It is a Sailor Jerry hula girl on his forearm (that I force him to make dance and named Oohalani) in honor of one just like it that his grandfather Jerry (who was a sailor, too) had. People often are suprised that I bought it for him considering she is...

Having a toddler and a border collie means
having to two sets of teeth to check for blue wax when a cerulean crayola shows up soggy and chewed.
(for the record- it was the toddler)

Some Random 19 month old notes
I wrote these down the past few days in a notepad and thought I would compile them and throw them into a post :) Enjoy!
Cece’s new favorite activity: Sitting on the couch to watch tv while eating a banana. Once the banana is eaten she is done watching tv. This happened once when I was trying to get her to calm down and let her finish breakfast on the couch. (Our little monkey has at least 1...

baby shower gift wrap
I thought I would share (since I am proud of myself) that I have a signature way to wrap baby shower gifts. As long as the present isn’t too big, on top of what I am buying I also buy a 3 pack of swaddle blankets. I usually get the kind that are flannel and used on newborns. I used them myself for swaddling the first few weeks then as Cece grew they became the perfect extra large burp cloths...

I didn’t change, I just decided to grow the fuck up.
This is something I wish people could understand about me. I’ve become myself. And maybe, the person that you think changed was never who I was.

Sometimes I teach my daughter crazy things
I am a firm believer that until the age of 7 it is perfectly acceptable to smack your lips and say “ahhh” after a refreshing gulp of strawberry milk. The older you get the less cute it becomes and eventually its just gross. I just adore the fact that she is old enough now to do these “kid” things as she becomes less of a baby and more of a toddler every day. So I taught her...

Ice Cream Turd, FYI
Kyle: Ahhhh! (and other garbled noises coming from kitchen)
Me: Um, you okay?
Kyle: Yeah, I just stepped on an ice cream turd.
Me: ::Puzzled look::
Kyle: Well, I dropped a little chunk of ice cream on the ground and didn't notice until I stepped in it. It felt like a turd--
Me: --but cold..
Kyle: ..but cold.
