The happiest little pink line has spoken. My sister Shannon is PREGNANT!
I think I'm more excited about this than when I was pregnant.
Okay- now on to planning a baby shower...
Oh Shanny...we are so happy for you and Steve.

Birthday
Day 49
My Grandma, Hazel Parr, turned 95 today. She is still a spry, active woman who loves to shop and have lunch with her friends in the "Red Hat Society." She watches basketball every night and talks with a luxurious southern drawl and wears designer perfume. She is an elegant lady. Today I learned that I don't need to know it all now. I am convinced that the reason my Grandma is still so together is because she found that perfect balance between enthusiastic learning and just being. Today I decided that from now on I'm going to pace myself a little. No more being frustrated if I don't know this or that. Who cares if I don't know what I want to do when I grow up? In 69 years, when I'm 95, I'll know what I need to know-and that will do.
While we're on the subject of birthdays I would also like to honor my mom whose birthday was yesterday. Happy Birthday to you, my ever patient, loving, timeless mom. I love you.

Exciting!
Day 48
Okay-I know I promised that today's post would be better but unfortunately I can't share what I've learned today until it's been shared by mouth with some other people first. But it's awesome. So completely exciting. I am giddy right now.

Sleep
Day 47 (02/25/10)
I learned last night that if I close my eyes, even if I think it's just for a moment, I won't open them again until the light of day. And I won't get around to writing in my blog. Today's post will be better...I promise.

Sick Beds (as seen in the 11/09 issue of O)
Day 46
Today I learned that the World Health Organization just upgraded tanning beds to the top tier of most dangerous carcinogens. Do you know what else is in that tier? Mustard Gas and Arsenic. ARSENIC! So next time you take your pasty butt to the tanning salon keep in mind that your risk for developing melanoma (skin cancer) just went up 76% (O magazine, 11/2009, pg 106). And if you think skin cancer is just an ugly freckle that can be removed by a dermatologist- you're wrong. Check this out to find more on cancerous melanoma. Please get your facts from sources like this instead of listening to the employees at these salons- an 18 year old with the playboy bunny emblem tanned into her butt that gets payed to tell you that tanning beds are safe. I am the first to think a tan is beautiful. Every time I watch Giada de Laurentis on Everyday Italian, I just want to throw something at her out of jealousy. But I have to remind myself that she is Italian and comes by it naturally, and I am as far from the olive-skinned beauty as one could be. I am ashamed to say that I have visited a tanning bed in the past, and proud to say that I will NEVER do it again. Okay-so I'm as milky as white chocolate. At least I don't have cancer breathing down my neck.
This is me tonight...basking in my pasty, healthy skin.
I had a dream last night that my Dad died from a heart attack. Before he took his last breath he told me that he didn't get to do what he had always planned to do if he had just one more day to live. I never did figure out what that was but it got me thinking-what would I do if I just had one more day to live? I know you've thought about it, and maybe even answered it. But I'm curious and not asking rhetorically- what would you do?

Taco Tuesdays
Day 45
I learned today that you can't order the 75-cent tacos that they offer on Tuesdays at Jose Muldoons for take-out. I also learned that a little bat of the eyes and you can get 75 cent tacos for take-out.
Thanks

Day 44 (2/22)
As much as I enjoyed his company, I learned that it's a good thing that Trenton GOES to work. He worked remotely from our home and let's just say that this zoo doesn't need another monkey during the days!
This was funny though- Emma said to Trenton in a very urgent tone, "Daddy-your water broke!"
Ha!
