Good thing it was an induced labor, because baby Lexi came in to the world weighing
8 lbs. 8 oz., and 19 in. in length.
Congratulations to my sister by proxy, Jennifer, her hubsy Cassidy, and to the new big brother Boston!!

Thank you so much Jenn and Cass for having me be apart of this! It was one of the most amazing things I have ever beheld. I realize baby's come into the world everyday, but many people go a lifetime without ever witnessing such a special miraculous event. And thank you to Cass for getting a little too gun-shy to cut the umbilical cord.... I was more than happy to take over. I think the Doctor and nurses were a little creeped out by my enthusiasm and interest in everything going on down there. It just made me so much more excited about becoming a nurse. And while I have mostly had my eye on working in the E.R's and O.R's, This experience made me just as eager to work in Labor and Delivery. Hopefully I will get to dip my toes in all of units/wards during my clinicals so that I can really find my "nitch".

I wish terribly that I had more pictures to post but I used Jenn's camera for the majority of the time, and she has not been able to upload them yet.

PUUUUSH

Cass painted Jenn's toenails for her.


Now that is love.

Posture

I'm guilty of all of these.
So unattractive.

Wy-wy and Sparky

I was just surfing through some old videos and stumbled upon this. I miss my babes so much! I can't believe it's been nearly two years since I moved to Mexico to Nanny the two cutest little boys that ever lived!

Somewhere

Here is the trailor for Sofia Coppola's latest film.

Even if it ends up being totally over our heads, seemingly pointless, and incredibly boring, it will still be one of the greatest movies ever, because it's the work of Sofia Coppola. She could make a film about poop and it would be great.
And yes, that stunning little child star is Elle Fanning, sister to Dakota Fanning. Did you realize they both played little Daisy at different ages in Benjamin Button? I think they BOTH could be just as successful supermodels as they are actresses.

Can I just say? You, without fail and blowing away all competition, make my day. :)

Gosh! YOU just made mine.

Ask me anything

getting high.

Well, I've been painting my room. So far so good. Except for the perma-headache I am suffering from. Ibuprofen doesn't even touch it. I get headaches daily, but they are always easily cured with some good ol' ibuprofen. It is very rare that I get a headache that I have to endure and going through this experience right now, makes me realize just how much of a wimp I really am. Because I am just miserable.
Umm... Am I even making any sense right now? I need some air.
Later.

so guess whaah....

I love Lil Wayne. Yep.
I also adore Eminem. Uh-huh.
I realize this is just despicable to you. But this post isn't about me, or you. It's about your two mini-sweet-bro-basketball-obsessed-jocks that you are raising.
I just thought I would give you a heads up.
Sweet-bro-basketball-obsessed-jocks LOVE Rap/Hip Hop. I realize that I am stereotyping; and in general, I do not condone that. But, well, it is what it is.
Just yesterday Jake looked at me and said, that I was "piss-poor morally"... Don't worry, I explained to him that this phrase was very crude. With-in the same hour, Matt sang "put your arm on ice"... by the tune I knew he meant, "Patron' on ice"....
(Obviously they are on a T.I. kick right now).
But I'm telling you now, one day it's T.I., and the next it's that whack-job Eminem... Who, despite it all, I still love.
I think I will convert his bum to the LDS church, help him get over his issues with his Mum and ex-wife Kim, and teach Haley and Laney that they shouldn't talk the way Daddy talks.
The End.

Wait. One more thing.
I've been thinking, considering, the idea of NOT blogging OR facebooking
for two years (which is when I finish school)...
No but seriously...
Now I'm just thinking about it. I haven't made any decisions. The reason I am toying with this idea is because I feel like I have lost touch with reality because of this virtual world I live in-- combined with the fact that I LITERALLY don't live in the same world as many people I care about. It's like I'm there, but not really. I just linger in peoples lives with out any progression in any of my relationships; not just boys, but friends and family too.
Maybe it would be best if I take that break, and dedicate myself completely to my schooling, and to being physically and emotionally healthy; What if, in two years, I could start over; move away from blessed Monti to a modern civilization, start using hair product and wearing make up again, and get a healthy fresh start with both new and old relationships. Maybe, just maybe, I could really leave all my baggage behind, and forgive myself for all the mistakes I have made in my lifetime. Maybe I could take the good qualities that I could not have acquired with out my trial and error, and really succeed in life.
Maybe the people that hold grudges against me could forgive me, or even just forget about me... Maybe I'd be able to face them with out hating myself. Maybe I'd be able to face them and not give a damn.
I don't know.
I think I'll ask my therapist what she thinks.

(Hey look. The picture fits both subjects)

what is the scariest thing about boys?

I am intimidated by the fact that they don't play the same games girls play.... (not saying they don't play games, because they do) But finding the thin line between losing their interest and coming on too strong is a difficult task that seriously stresses me out. I don't know if that really answers this question though.... sorry. Let's try again... hm.. Okay! Always worrying about how my personality, figure, face, style, etc. compares to their dream girl, whether that be a super model or an ex-girlfriend. I've obviously got some esteem issues. haha.
