Featured Blog: The Extraordinary Ordinary

Heather of the EO writes a wonderful post about the lessons and joys of GIVING. This blog could learn a thing or two from her.

Did you watch the new 90210 last night on the CW? It was fricktastic. (Right now my husband is cringing and checking the contractual obligations on his wedding vows. Yep you are stuck w/ me). I love all the carry overs from other shows! We have Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development playing Lucille Bluth from BH. Aunt Becky from Full House, the real Brenda, Kelly and even Nat. Did you see Andrea Zuckerman's nerdy daughter at the news desk? And my favorite character is Silver (David Silver's sister) because she has her own blog and just like mine it gets over 500K hits a day. Oh and the adoption themes! Not only is Dixon adopted but Harry has a son that was placed with a family, too. It's like I have a new reason to live.

The Palbicki Beak

You know how some families pass along athleticism, brains or even money? We have the nose. I wish I had a better picture of my dad's because his beak reigns surpreme although my grandma's is right up there. Study these exhbisits for now and I will try to get some better shots.

Back to school jitters? A cold? Mexican rice?

I'm talking about Norelle. Last night she was up five times, a new record. Gold medal please! She never even did that when she was a newborn. Maybe she was thinking about how mom would be extra busy at work this week so she wanted to see how I was feeling about it? Or did she know that dad was almost caught up on sleep and that's just not him? She has also entered a new phase called "I scream when I want something out of reach"/ "I know you are just outside the door". Ah, the milestones. Really we are just spoiled because she has been such a excellent baby that we get our panties in a bunch if she isn't perfection for a day or two. Poor kid, she probably isn't feeling well but just can't say so. We love and adore her beyond belief! She is such a joy and a blessing to our every day.

But this reminds me, joys and blessings asides, it is only 4 more days until Home Alone Saturday! H.A.S. is the first time Jake & I will have a whole 24 hours at home to kick it old school while Nori stays with Papa & Nana overnight. What are we going to do? First off, nothing. Then what? Probably go for a bike ride, indulge in yummy food, relax watching some movies and sleep-in.
