Another reason to be grateful...

that Kaylin is not in day care. Recently a baby only a few miles from us died because his parent taped his pacifier to his mouth. And now someone was caught doing it at a day care. I know it can be annoying to keep putting it back in the baby's mouth, but seriously. I am so glad that I am the one taking care of Kaylin. I may not be the best mom, but at least I know better than to tape a pacifier in her mouth.

Tomorrow night, Sexy is Back!

4 years ago today...

Eric and I got engaged. In some ways it feels like we've been married for-ev-er (in a good way) and in other ways it feels like we just got married. Kinda weird how that works. And if I knew 4 years ago what I know now, I'd still say YES :-).

The heat is on... the heat is o-on...

Remember that song?? Anyway... for the first time in a long time, I turned the heat on today. Shhhh... don't tell Eric. And Eric, if you happen to be reading this, I didn't really turn it on. But it was 67 degrees in our house this morning, and I need it to be about 70. Is it wrong to turn the heat on when it is still technically summer? Sorry for any of you who might still be experiencing a heat wave--yet another reason to come and visit me. I'm much more comfortable now that my house is 70 degrees. It's been raining for the past 2 days. Today is dry, but Sunday and Monday it rained pretty much all day. It was your stereotypical day in western Washington. For those of you who have read Twilight it actually made me feel like I was in Forks and that I should go and play baseball or something.

I finished New Moon last night. I'd like to start on Eclipse, but I have a few things I need to get done first. I guess Bella and Edward might have to wait another day.

Next book please...

I finished Twilight on Friday, only about 29 hours after starting it. I read just over half of it Thursday night and the rest of it on Friday night while Eric was on a scout camp out and Kaylin was sleeping. It was good. I definitely liked it, although I'm not "in love" with Edward as much as some other people that I know. The funny thing is (don't worry, I'm not going to spoil anything if you haven't read it, this information can be found on the back of the book) I was more bothered by the fact that Bella was sooooooooooooo in love with Edward and only a junior in high school than the fact that Edward is a vampire. I totally went for all the vampire stuff no problem, it was Bella's age that threw me. Funny. I think I would have rather had her be a young college student instead, but then the rest of the story wouldn't really work. Now I'm over half way through New Moon. While I still have a small problem with Bella's age, she is a year older, and I guess that helps make it seem more believable. Ha! "Believable"! She's in love with a vampire. And I definitely believe that she's in love with him, he is pretty amazing.

One nursing blanket down... Now I can read

I finished the nursing blanket for my friend who's due in 3 weeks. Proof:

I'm going to read Twilight

For those of you who have been patiently waiting for me to read Twilight, that time has come. One of my laurels is graciously letting me borrow the whole series. I just took myself off the library's hold list where I was number 215, I started last week at 224. So now Twilight, Eclipse, and New Moon are all sitting on my coffee table begging to be read. This is unfortunate news for Eric and Kaylin because I'm sure once I start reading, I will have a hard time stopping. As long as they are both fed they will be fine. That's all either one of them really cares about anyway. But I'm also supposed to be sewing two nursing blankets. I started them today and one needs to be finished soon, the recipient is due in about three weeks. I might have to hold off on starting the book until the first blanket is finished. The other one can wait, the recipient of that one isn't due until December.

The end to life as I now know it

I knew the day would come. Kaylin is crawling. It isn't all that pretty, but she's doing it. You can see the video here. And more explanation of the video can be found on Kaylin's site.
