My Interests

Reading, Traveling, Photography, Digital Scrapbooking, Video Games

I'd like to meet:

On my space: old friends I've lost touch with. In real life: pretty much anyone famous. I've never met anyone even remotely famous, and it just seems like it would be so cool to have a great story to tell at parties about running into a celebrity at the airport or at a restaurant. I'd also love to meet about a hundred different authors (living and dead) so I could talk to them about the books they wrote.

Music:

I listen to a little bit of everything...my latest iPod download is Monster Ballads, but I've got everything from Foo Fighters to Phish to the Dixie Chicks on there too. The most recent concerts I went to were the 311 and Papa Roach concert and the Black Crowes at the Big Spring Jam. Yes I know that was over a year ago...babies and concerts just don't mix.

Movies:

Anything Kevin Smith: my two favorites are Chasing Amy and Dogma (I could watch that one a thousand times and still laugh!) Other all-time favorites: Clueless, 10 Things I Hate About You, American History X, Butterfly Effect, Harry Potter Movies, The Lion King

Television:

I am a total Grey's Anatomy addict! I also love Heros and Smallville. Gameshows rock! Deal or No Deal, Family Fued, Who Wants to Be a Milionaire, and Wheel of Fortune are my favorites. If I catch it I like House, ER, Law & Order, and CSI.

Books:

The Poisonwood Bible, In the Time of Butterflies, Isle of Man, The Handmaid's Tale, The DaVinci Code, Stupid White Men, Harry Potter books, romance/suspense novels

Heroes:

My mom for more reasons than I could list. My husband for doing so much to support his family. My dad for working so hard to give his girls a better life than he had.

Happy 7 months

Well, Kaylee is now 7 months and 6 days old, and she is doing fantastic! We went to the pediatrician today for a weight check, and she has gained 2 pounds and 2 ounces since her 6 month appointment!!!...

Happy Half-Birthday Kaylee

Wow...my baby girl is already a half-year old. It really does fly by. So far it hasn't been a very happy half-birthday, though. We went for her 6 month check-up and the doctor dianosed her as "failure...

5 months or Is it really November??

I'm a little late on Kaylee's 5 month update, but in my defense we haven't *technically* had an internet connection for the past week...We may or may not have "borrowed" a neighbor's unsecured wireles...

Can't break tradition

Since I seem to have unwittingly started a tradition of postly one blog a month, I figure it's about that time again... So this month instead of complaining about things like the fact that Kaylee stil...

Things I've learned during my first 3 months of motherhood

1) Diapers only absorb so much...once they exceed their maximum absorbancy the contents spill out onto mom's lap 2) You can do more with one hand (or even with your feet) than most people realize. Thi...

another month (almost)

Well just the decrease in my blogging (is that a word??) is enough to make it clear that at two months old Kaylee still has a monopoly on my time. But things have gotten a little easier in the past mo...

A month already?

Wow... it's been a month  since Kaylee was born. In so many ways the time has flown by, even though those 12 days she was in the NICU still seem like the longest 12 days of my life. When you thin...

Great Day...Bad Night

So yesterday (our anniversary) was an awesome day!! We really didn't do much of anything, but that was part of what made it so awesome. It was so nice to just lounge around the house and spend time to...

Ready to have this baby...

As of today I have officially been pregnant for longer than my mom and my grandmother were with any of their pregnancies...So much for early labor running in the family! Of course, they both used...
