RIP Old Computer

If you've been wondering where I am, just know that I'm alive and well. However, my computer can't say the same thing. Let's just say this: the blue screen of death came and I was lucky to put the old guy on life support long enough to rescue the last year's worth of my pictures of Selah. I don't know what I'd do if I had lost those...

I'm trying to get used to using our desktop for my computing needs such as blogging (fb, twitter and Pinterest are safe since I do those on my phone anyways), but it's hard to sit down in front of it while Selah wrangling. I'll try to update using this Blogger App to keep you guys up to speed while I work on my latest project: a movie/video done on my iPhone. :)

I can do it. I know I can!

Be Happy Challenge: Something I'm Proud Of

Already wrapped around our fingers before she even left the hospital

Despite the odds, despite my history, I have a beautiful HEALTHY baby girl. That's something to be pretty damn proud about.

Be Happy Challenge: Note to Someone

Hey not-quite-a-baby Baby Girl.

You, my dear one, amaze me every day. Where has the time gone? Almost 16 months have passed since we held you in our arms for the first time and almost TWO YEARS since we learned you were joining our family. 

You somehow possess most of your daddy's good traits and a couple of mine, as well as a few not so good traits (Stubbornness. Hello?). You've taken over our house with your smiles, your laughter, your chaos, your kisses and your toys, and I wouldn't have it any other way! You are saying more understandable words and phrases every day. You walk as slow as a turtle, unless I'm trying to grab you and then, boy, can you run!

Strange little one, you don't seem to like most convenience foods to the misfortune of your mother who cannot cook. I've recently discovered you like spaghetti-O's (Annies brand) though. You also like fish, both the kind that swims in the ocean and the kind made out of cheese. One day, you were given a choice between mac and cheese and jambalaya and you chose the spicy jambalaya. Perhaps you take after me more than I realize!

I could go on and on about your fabulousness because, girlfriend, you are. You are wonderful. You are fabulous. You are smart. You are beautiful.

And I am so lucky you call ME(!) 'Maa-maaa'.

I love you, bunny. I sure do.

Mama

Be Happy Challenge: Three Things I Love about Summertime

1. I love love LOVE the heat.

2. I love not having to wear sleeves and pants and jackets and socks and shoes. They make me feel claustrophobic.

3. I love taking the little outside to discover new things and new places. :)

Be Happy Challenge: My best feature, shown off in a photo

Honestly, I don't know what my best feature is. I also don't think all features can be shown off in a photo.

Still, I'll give it a shot.













Notice a trend*?

*I also noticed that several of my friends and family members do this as well. Strange. ;)
