7 Year Anniversary!!


It's hard to believe that we've been married seven years already. As Tiger's mom tells people, "They're still on their honeymoon." And it's true. This is what seven years, a lot of hard work, a lot of joy, and one baby latter looks like. Bliss.

My parents sent a check for the occasion, so we celebrated by going out to our favorite sushi place. We hadn't been there since before Lily was born, so it was quite a treat. Plus, she was perfect the whole time. Bonus.

Media Fast

Hi, all. I am going to be going on a "media fast" this week. That means no Internet, DVDs, radio, CDs, magazines--everything except books--for seven days. Since I am a nursing mom, a food fast is out of the question, and I have been submerged in the constant bombardment of media (too much O.C and Angel, and pretty much an IV of NPR), distracting myself from everything. I am hoping to re-connect with God, my creative self, and people, during this time. Instead of listening to music, I hope to be creating it. Instead of surfing the net, writing. Instead of the radio, prayer. This is going to be REALLY hard, but I think it will be worth it. Hopefully I will be able to share some of my epiphanies with y'all next Monday.

Have a great week!

p.s. I'll still have my cell phone on ;-)

It's That Time of the Year Again


When things start getting a bit nippy, my knitting needles begin calling out to me. This is my first of millions of design projects for Lily, and I am quite pleased with the result. I am planning on making myself a hat out of the same yarn, I just need to decide on a style as this one might be a bit juvenile. Not that there's anything wrong with that :-p
