Happy Birthday to Me?

The kids decided to celebrate by getting up at 6 this morning. That's a new record for them. I really like Seattle, but I'm not digging the fourteen hours of daylight we're having. It's not even summer yet. Actually, I'm not even sure what time they really got up, since S-Boogie was already dressed and everything by the time she woke me up at six. All I know is that she'd better take a nap today or we're both going to go crazy.

Happy birthday, FoxyJ! I, too, hope S-Boogie and LD take naps for you. I look forward to those almost more than I look forward to nursery after sacrament meeting.

Happy Birthday! Kids always seem to know when it is your birthday or Mother's day. They always either wake up super early or manage to be sick all through the night. :)
Hope you have a great day.

Happy Birthday! We celebrated the daylight this week by aluminum foiling the windows. So tacky yet effective.

Happy, happy birthday. I can empathize on the kids being up...Ginta "Monster" is ALWAYS up at 6:00, and doesn't go back for a nap until 10:00, so life is fun, especially with Marko not sleeping until 3:00AM. GRRRR.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

As has been said many times, but still with more than four hours to go, at least in my time zone, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Jessie. I hope it was wonderful.

By the way, my word verification started with "fxj..." I think it knows who you are.

The magic hour of the beginning of FoxyJ--10 pounds!! The midwife weighed her three times.

The Truth Comes Out

I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that. This does come in handy considering our limited funds for things like clothing and shoes, but it also means that I tend to have a wardrobe of odd, non-matching, ill-fitting clothes. While it's true that I have found some great things at thrift stores and on clearance, I definitely have other clothes that are just plain lame. I will often choose to buy things because they are cheap, even sacrificing what I really want because it doesn't fit my predetermined price conventions. I am convincing myself to buy this jacket because it is comfortable, stylish, fits a wardrobe need (I don't have a blazer or jacket), and matches a skirt I already have. Oh and it comes in petite, so I can get a large that won't squeeze my tummy and not hav

Living with ideals

The first thing on my agenda in Davis was a lunch with some of the current graduate students. One of them asked me a question about my last name and my heritage, to which I replied that it was my husband's last name. That got me some fairly strange looks. Then there was the fact that I didn't order coffee after lunch with all of them. And then there was the awkwardness (more than once during the last few days) of trying to explain why I lived in Spain for over a year and didn't see any movies, go to any plays, or study at the university. Oh, and the fact that I don't drink wine and even though I'm not quite thirty I have been married for almost seven years and have two kids. Man, I am such a weirdo. I lived in Utah for so long that I became very comfortable in not having people think some of the things I do are strange. It was challenging this week to be back in an area where people questioned my choices and I had to explain "I'm a Mormon" (yeah, I kno
