My Toddler!

Ara started walking last Sunday 7.16.06. She just stood up in the middle of the room and took 4 of the smallest little steps. We watching in silence, with our eyes welling up with tears. She is usually pretty cautious and fairly graceful considering she is so new. Her birthday party is all planned and I am so excited. I am even going to try to bake the cake lol! I already got 3 cake mixes, the extras are for an error margin!

P.S. Hugs to Chris and Audra. Chris you stay safe and come back.

Update on the craving

I just realized what I'm craving.. I haven't had one in a REALLY long time, like years. It's a grilled chicken sandwich from McDonalds, with a ton of that honey mustard you have to ask for. Oh and french fries. Ohhhh the starchy, crispy, carbo-licious goodness.

~I need something to read.

I just finished reading the entire Harry Potter series again. I read the Half Blood Prince last summer for the first time (while pregnant) and I missed a lot of the details. I think I read to fast the first time. Anyway, now I'm sort of at a loss for what to read. I was thinking of re-reading Under a Tuscan Sun, but I feel stuck in a rut re-reading books all the time. That is exactly what I read last summer. Of course, I read MANY books about parenting and child development but what I need is an "unwind" book. So I have been sitting here trying to think of my favorite authors.. which is very non-adventurous of me. I do LOVE Kinsolver and I never did read the Poisonwood Bible, but I don't feel drawn to it.

I am just rambling

in text

for people to read

and somehow that seems ironic to me.

I'm craving.. something. It's the kind of craving where you can almost smell what you want. Some sort of salty-crunchy maybe. Wish I could eat salty-crunchy...

Yesterday, Fun and I met our first online friends ever. Needless to say we were nervous! They drove down from Phoenix and we had a late lunch and then went.. roller skating! We had fun, they were normal and all was good! I just hope they thought WE were normal...
