a favorite
enjoying today ~
enjoying it like it's my birthday
because it is!!
no getting up early
no sitting in traffic to get over the bridge
no timelines to type up
no meetings to attend
no phone calls or emails to get out
just enjoying today like it's my birthday
the day my mama gave birth to me
celebrating today like it's my birthday
i think i will
i think i'll roll out of bed slowly
stay in the shower for a few minutes longer than usual
let the water trail down my front and just watch it
have tim and kadison make me breakfast (hint hint)
dress in something that makes me feel pretty
go get my hair done - that always makes me feel pretty
hang out in the city on my own
have a little lunch
maybe swagger into a used bookstore or better yet a bakery!
don't rush
don't think too much
just be
enjoying today
maybe head to the beach w/my love's
enjoy the saltly windy air
maybe go down the slide or swing on the swing
enjoy today
head out to dinner with my hubby
go see comedy and laugh our asses off
grab a glass of wine, enjoy our old neighborhood
walk and hold hands
be out late....like we used to do...
sounds like a good plan to me....
Happy long weekend to everyone...

~ having someone annonymously pay for our dinner
~ sitting around the kitchen table with a beer
~ having a heart to heart with Tim
~ having an impromptu call with Tina
~ the woman at whole foods helping us out to our car
~ seeing Andrea's "bump"
~ a friend telling me she "got it"
~ watching the SF Fire Dept. play a softball game at the park today
~ watching the baby birds with their moms;learning how to fly...
~ taking a long walk alone the other night and appreciating the silence
~ appreciating the moment where Kadison turns around and scoots backwards into my lap for a story before bed; it gets me every time
sometimes i wonder if i will ever be happy and then these moments happen and i realize it's all about the moments and if they happen more and more that means happiness is really within me. stop wondering so much and start appreciating the now....

dear kadison ~
today you turn 14 months old ~ you are running around back and forth down the hallway between the dining room and your room all the while yelling about the "ball" or the "dog" barking downstairs. Occassionaly you'll stop when I say something other times you'll just keep running, giggling and once in awhile stopping to look at a book or two. You are on the GO and it's always a treat to watch, experience and soak in the energy that you have. we're always cracking up when the music is on, you stop, and just start bending the knees, and feeling the beat. you love the music!!
your 5th and 6th tooth are coming in much to our surprise; we of course see the drool pouring from your mouth but we just finally caught a glimpse of the white little things poking through. you are looking more and more grown up.
being 14 months means that there are many changes occuring on a daily basis around here - we are trying to ween you off the "BOTTLE" and trying more and more to get you to drink out of a "CUP". the morning nap is increasinly being pushed out until the afternoon where you fight it so much we end up throwing you overhand into the crib! actually that is not true :) today actually you said "blanket" and walked over to your crib while I said "nap time with lulu?" and then laid you in your bed with your bed buddy "lulu the lamb", without too much crying! it felt good and i only wish i could be home more often during the day to keep this all going....but I need to learn I'm not the only one who can handle all this. i(t's taking me a while to realize this!)
you enjoy the park more and more and it's so fun to watch you exploring more and more - the swings, the sandbox (without eating the sand) and the slides. you love talking with the other moms and kids and are very curious about the goings on with everyone. you fit right in!
we're enjoying our summer and even though we slather you with sunscreen you already seem to have tan lines around your feet from your sandles and farm tans from your shirts and shorts!
we'll be on a plane again soon to go visit family and summer will bring more trips to the zoo, the park and maybe we'll start the occassional spontaneous road trips your dad and i love to take!
i love you sweeticheeks

hidden dancer ~ you should of seen her after she got up and heard the music on the radio!?!?! Away she went, bending her knees, feeling the beat ... she is a huge fan of the bass!
She was getting her groove on ~ FOR SURE!
