Whoa mama!

Check out this article about the 19.2 lb baby:

Jeez, could you imagine?!? She literally gave birth to a toddler. I don't think I could live through that. I don't want my babies to be more than 7 lbs, I'm thinking. I'm pretty tiny, and I'd like to avoid a C-section if possible.

That other baby's thinking "Don't eat me!"

Anniversary Pics - Sept 2009

Magic Kingdom night... dinner at Cinderella's castle.

Up in a hot air balloon.

Gotta have the Superman pic when there's a telephone booth!


After the luau at the Polynesian resort.


Vacationers! Erik, Marissa, Roman & me.

Anniversary the First: Presents!

So we exchanged our anniversary gifts last nite (we're pretty bad about waiting to open gifts). I must say, we know each other pretty darn well.

I had a comic book made for Roman, with me & him as the main characters (as Harley & Joker). In the story, we break into a museum to steal the 'Mirror of Memories'. When we look into the mirror, there's a 2 page spread of our 'memories': proposing, wedding, house buying, doggies, etc. Then we escape with the mirror and live happily ever after. Roman loved it.

My gift was a cool knife (I love weapons!). He had it custom made with ebony wood and etchings. It's called a kukri. It's like a small machete, with a curved blade. I want to hack something to try it out! lol

So tonite's going to be busy for me. Tanning, cleaning, laundry. Just getting ready for our trip tomorrow, YAY! I'm so excited.

When I'm bored, I talk about my sister

We're getting Chanel's senior pics done today. There's even going to be a lady giving her a 'makeover'. Lol, how cute. I can't believe how fast it's all going by. Makes me emotional when I experience these life hurdles with her, and kinda sad because our mom & dad aren't there with us (Mom lives in AZ. Dad is distracted with his new wife, to put it simply).

She had her Seussical (Dr Seuss musical) a few weeks ago, and it was the best performance so far that she's done. There was singing & dancing, and she was the best leading lady! I'm trying to get my hands on the video to distribute to family that missed it. (Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Joe/Karen. Let me know if I left anyone out.)

Sigh. I hope she does awesome things in her life, but even if she just flipped burgers forever I'd still be proud of her. We'll have to take a sister's vacation sometime... maybe to Europe. That'd be fun.

Work out update

Umm... yeah. Well I went to the gym for a week, and haven't been back since. Two more weeks till vacay, and I'm going back to the gym tonite. Promise!
