not so good

Why am I having the longest pregnancy ever? Feels that way, especially with a horrific oxygen-depleting sinus cold and now lower back pain! Recently we had supper with our friend Yesika when we had a major lost in translation moment. I asked her how long the typical maternity leave is in Peru and she answered "nine months". Imagine how dumb she must have thought I was asking how long pregnancy is in Peru.

While gasping for breath, I have also been watching my new favorite show, My Fair Wedding. Turns out we have it On Demand so I can catch up on planning for my next wedding (I really couldn't do better than Jake but you already know that). Have you seen it? David Tutera makes me want to have a gay son. My mom is searching for the perfect dress for my brother's wedding in August (it's on Jaimie's farm). If you have any great ideas, let her know. Jake, Nori, and myself are IN the wedding so we are really excited! Honey will have to nurse off the cows while we are busy.

Off to try not to die...

33 years not normal

straight from Hol's vag to your computer

It's official, I am 33 today!! I shall celebrate by taking a yoga class then sconing at a coffee shop followed by a lazy day at home. Last night we went out for sushi and I already got the royal treatment (meat loaf) during my relaxing two days in Winona with my mom. What more could I want? (digital SLR camera).

33, 33 and 3!

a bit behind...

Before the hate mail starts pouring in (Mom), I just want to acknowledge that I know I am slacking off on my blog. Genius like this can't be forced. Also, I was afraid you might be getting cuteness fatigue from too many pictures of adorable 3-year-olds, so this post will be photoless. What can I say? In addition to growing a life, working full-time (.8 is full-time, just ask HR), raising a prodigy, living with a dog with some rare intestinal gas disease, and being married to a faux tennis phenom/ Jim Cramer, it's hard to find time for my online pastimes. Also, I am rather boring.

We have been keeping busy in a post-birthday party world seeing friends from Peru, making chocolate covered strawberries, visiting the Indoor Waterpark of America, putting on lotion, cleaning and cleaning the house, cuddling, drop-ins from Aunt Jill who brought a sprinkle donut and Papa Bill who brought an easel with a chalkboard and dry erase board, taking long naps, turning up the heat, Life Group, eating Golden Grahams for supper, cleaning dry erase marker off the walls, coffee with my friend Angela, tracing life-size outlines of ourselves to hang in the house, trying in vain to convert my Flip videos from 2010 into a format to save on DVD, and Baby Zoey's dedication...just to name a few.

Really, you didn't miss much.

p.s. Oh! I forgot to mention the leg cramps!!!

Happy Birthday Jaimie!
