Yes, I just put an animated graphic on my blog. This is how insane I am about tonight.Did you watch the “pop-up” Lost last night? I missed it but will be watching it courtesy of my beloved TIVO tonight.

And guess what? I’m going to be doing some Lost reviews for The Disney Blog! Don’t worry, I’ll be gushing about it here, too. That’s TWO WHOLE POSTS about LOST per week! (woot!)

(LOST + ohamanda)2 = LOTS OF CAPS & EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!

See you soon, Losties!

Why band aids are of the devil

My daughter is the great sleeping baby. She was sleeping 8 hours at about six weeks. At two years old she sleeps at least 12 hours every night.

Until last night.

She got a paper cut on her hand yesterday. After a kiss, a prayer, some cream and a band-aid, she felt better. She was very proud of her wound and held her arm up like it had a cast on it. She went to bed around 7pm. At 9pm, I heard her screaming. I was terrified and ran into her room.

Me: What’s wrong, baby girl?

Lydia: Ban-ad off.

Me: (half laughing, half stern) Really? OK. Let’s put it back on. Now, lay back down. Night Night.

In the next three hours this happened FIVE more times. She would start screaming, be standing in her bed without a tear in her eye and simply say, “Ban-ad off” or “Daddy, fix it!”

After the 6th time, I got the clue and simply took the band-aid off.

I’m nothing if not quick.

My Mom, Grandmother, Grandfather, Maternal Grandparents & Great Uncle. 1958.

I love this picture. Isn’t it cozy? I think it’s interesting because if we were having lunch outside, what would we do? We certainly wouldn’t drag out a real table with a real tablecloth, real chairs and a high chair!

Moo & Snow

January 26, 2008 me

Today has been a day. *whew* We woke up to a house with NO heat. That is the worst feeling I can imagine. Unless of course, I had been put to bed soaking wet. Anyway, it was too cold to stay at home, so we took Lydia and our niece to a special event at [...]

The Stuff Random Dreams Are Made Of

January 25, 2008 me

I took a blogging break yesterday. I just couldn’t think of anything to post. And I was just tired. I didn’t even visit any blogs (well, maybe one or two). I just didn’t feel like blogging. *gasp* Anyway, I’ve been tagged about 475 times in the last week and because I’m still in a blogfog, [...]
