I love Sesame Street. I can’t help it. I look forward to it everyday! Anyway, here’s the highlight of my day.

February 2007
This is Lydia one year ago today. Looking at this picture, I can feel what it was like that day. I can remember what it felt like to hold her when she was that small, I can feel her shirt and her hair and how it felt to lay on that blanket with her, I can feel our whole house and that time of my life. I tried to take a picture of Lydia every day of her first year. Pulling out those pics opens up the past in a peculiar way. I can’t describe it.
It’s so weird how time is…it seems unbelievable that she could have EVER just laid on a blanket for hours at a time. But at the same time, wasn’t it just last week that she wore that outfit and I sat on the floor taking pictures of her? This is the bittersweet part of being a parent. I’m so amazingly excited with each new milestone in her life. But I’m sad I’ll never hold two month old Lydia again.
So, here’s my happy girl today. She is laying on the floor because she likes to tip her tent over and roll out of it. Seriously, did she ever just lay on the floor?
(oh yeah, my buddy Kate gave me this idea!)

Today I went to the mall and bought some clothes. Whoo-ee! This has only happened about 4 times since Lydia was born. OK, so they are still comfy pants & cotton shirts, but at least they’re new!
But as I’m walking around the mall, what am I really thinking of? Jack Bauer. Buchanan. Chloe. Miles. Milo. Hiro. Sylar. Claire. Scofield. Linc. Horatio. Callie. I’m thinking of my TIVO! What would I do without my tivo?! To borrow a very overused and lame phrase, “IT IS THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!” I wouldn’t know, never having bread un-sliced. I’m think a better phrase would be “it’s the best thing since the can opener!” Did you know the can opener wasn’t invented until 50 years after canned food?!
Back to the point: Monday is the best night on tv. My dh and I watch How I Met Your Mother (I mean, really, Doogie Howser is on it!), The Class (the red headed guy is hi-lar-ious!), Prisonbreak (they are skating on thin ice with me…if they get away one more time…), CSI: Miami (I can’t help it, I like Horatio, head tilt and all!), Hereos (my new fave) and the master of all shows, 24 (if you don’t watch 24, you don’t know Jack).
So, there it is. I just let everyone know how big of losers we actually are. Yes, 5 hours of tv a night. But as every good tivo user/lover knows, 5 hours of tv is only 3.33 hours of tivo. I haven’t watched a commercial in 3 years. Praise the Lord.
