i'm not sure i'm going to keep this blog much longer. i may do it for personal things from time to time, but honestly, i'm just so indecisive about it right now. i liked having a place to store memories and fun times, yet how much information that i share on here is too much? also, i've really been noticing that a few people i know (nobody linked from my blog, so no worries, friends!!) blog

guess who's back.back again.ah yes, my cyst is back. i suppose, tell a friend!! sorry, i guess i have eminem stuck in my head. :)my wonderful and lovely cyst has made a 5th visit during my pregnancy which was quite a bit more than i was hoping for!! the odd part is that it's not a pregnancy related thing, but usually happens to men around the 18-24 age. i suppose that once you have it, since

happy note!!i walked over to our local starbucks this afternoon to grab my pregnancy delight, aka a decaf nonfat iced latte. mmmmmm, heaven in a little cup!! as i walked in, there was an older lady in all white who gave me a huge smile. i smiled back and went to the counter to order my drink. after i was done, she gave me the "come over here" hand signal, so i walked over to her table.she

feeling better!!after the 4th return of a cyst to my lower back, i finally had it partially removed a week ago. my pregnancy has been incredibly wonderful so far, minus the painful cyst which is not pregnancy related. the location is just horrible, barring me from sitting or exercising at all. i think it's just overall frustrating to be on your side and not moving around when all i want to do

2009-06-07T09:00:00.000-07:00

i've been lagging lately in my posts here. i'm sometimes not sure i always want to blog about everything i do. should i do important things? fun things? i swear, indecision is a symptom of pregnancy that nobody talks about.at any rate, i'll start with my birthday celebration!! james and i decided to head to disneyland since it's free on your birthday and since my special day fell on a sunday

totally. spoiled. rotten.i met up with my mommy yesterday to get a bit of early birthday celebrating in, and man we know how to have fun!! please keep in mind that fun while pregnant means something a bit different to all!!we started off by seeing monsters vs. aliens. my mommy picked it out and i went along thinking it would be another cute kid movie. also, it was in 3-d which didn't excite

my grandma's obituaryi'm not sure why, but the local newspaper took out the line about her being the happiest person in the world. i'ma go down there and smack em!! anyway, here's what the fam put together about my granny. and yes, the .5 great grandchild is my baby boy. :)Jeanne Eva Wilson (85), formerly of San Lorenzo passed away on Wednesday, April 8, 2008. Jeanne's big heart got too tired

2009-04-08T22:16:00.000-07:00

it is with a very heavy heart that i blog about my grandmother's death.as i blogged below, she had made this total 180 degree turn after being admitted to the hospital on sunday when she was told she only had a few hours to live. yesterday, my mom came over to mountain view to hang out with me for the day. we knew my granny's friends and some more family members were visiting along with a few

2009-04-06T12:11:00.001-07:00

feeling very thankful...i received a call from my dad very early on sunday morning, telling me that my grandma had been rushed to the hospital. he also told me that the doctors said she wouldn't make it through the day. james was such a dear sweetheart and drove us quickly to castro valley to visit with my granny before it was too late.from my understanding, she had pressed her life alert

2009-03-06T15:48:00.000-08:00

it's quite odd to feel like i'm already starting to show!! my tummy isn't able to be sucked in anymore, and i just look really fat. i totally want a shirt that says, "i'm not fat, i'm pregnant!!" it's silly to have just a slight belly at the moment. i want all or nothing, silly baby!!it also feels like my tummy is expanding and stretching from time to time. it feels kinda hard when i touch

2009-02-19T13:51:00.000-08:00

time for a little update!!i've been having a hard time figuring out what i've wanted to say on my blog after i found out i was pregnant!! james looked at me on the evening of january 1st and said, "you're pregnant. go take a test." i took 3, not believing that he could tell so early on that i was preggers!! and yes, all 3 were positive. :)only being a day late, i was kinda in shock that i

i've built such a cute and cuddly nest!!i made such a fun and cheap find last week that i have to share it with you all!! i bet it's something that everyone already knows, but since i was in the dark, i will assume that there may be someone else out there who is as well. i was browsing target's site last week and found the most adorable sheets - cream colored with red snowflakes. random.but

juuuust whistle while i look for work!!in this fabulous economy and time of low low low unemployment rates, it's been oh so fun looking for a job!! james is happy with me being at home ("now you could be a stay at home mum!"), i'm getting kinda cramped and ready to get back out in the working world after my really fun honeymoon and taking care of my little cousin all last week.if you're aware of

honeymoon update: week 2!!sunday - we decided that this would be our day off!! we stayed in and watched football all day. woohoo!!monday - james and i went snorkeling back at kapalua beach. unfortunately, the water was choppy, and we saw the crazy stalker fish again! i felt sick, it started to rain, we went back early and i tried to feel better and we watched the sunset.tuesday - james got me

this weekend was a ton of fun, and flew by a bit faster than i expected! on saturday james, erik, and i went to the cal game. i felt so badly because i was really craving a pretzel, so i asked james to get up when the game felt like it was dragging on and on. of course that's when cal decides to get all fancy and bust out a flea-flicker. james missed it live, but i guess saw it on the tv as

2008-10-08T14:41:00.000-07:00

something that i'll actually watch on tv is sports. of course i'm a huge football/baseball/hockey fan, and i love going to games in person, but something has been different this past year or so. i haven't been excited to watch the a's or giants in person, let alone more than a few innings. the same goes for hockey. i only went to one game last season, as opposed to my usual 10-15.i still

sprinkles cupcakes is finally open in palo alto!!i got 2 dozen and it only took 30 minutes in line!! i was expecting a bit more of a wait with the line we were in, but the staff was super fast with everyone's order. i won't be eating all of them (darn!!), but i'm sooo excited that a great cupcake shop is so close to me!! but so embarrassed with my excitement, as i ducked every time the camera

2008-09-16T13:03:00.001-07:00

i am totally spoiled at work. i honestly hope that the novelty never wears off that i get to eat the most delicious food!! i tried a new cafe today, and had grilled korean beef, a yummy salad of iceberg lettuce with chipotle ranch dressing, tortilla strips, cheddar, scallions and tomatoes. i also enjoyed a small slice of margherita pizza, some seared ahi, and two california rolls smothered in

*grumble grumble*i was hoping that my recent surge in jogging was actually getting rid of all pain in my poor little ankles. they haven't been too bad after longer runs, but this cooler weather is totally killing them!! i just want to soak them in a hot tub all day long or ice them (ouch!) to get rid of the aches. on a happier note, all of my halloween plans are coming together. i was going

I don't feel the sun's comin' out todayIt's staying in, it's gonna find another way.As I sit here in this misery,I don't think I'll ever, no lord, see the sun from here.And oh as I fade away,They'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,"Hey look at him, I'll never live that way."But that's okay, they're just afraid to change.

i've been blogging quite a bit about food lately!! you know what keeps this girl happy!! after a great workout at the gym yesterday (including lots of jumping rope!!), it was off to aldo for dinner. james and i really like this restaurant, and it had been far too long since we had been. i love aldo, because the fare here is incredibly light and fresh, and lunch/dinner never seem to "sit" with

i have a confession to make. i went to fentons late last night with james and his friend wanted something sweet after our amazing sushi. yes, people...we drove from mountain view to oakland for ice cream!!since i was so stuffed and not expecting to fit my normal black and tan in my belly, i thought it would be appropriate to try something small...something i'd never had before!! dun dun

i cannot get over betsey johnson's fun and funky style!! it's amazing how she has so many interesting pieces, that you can't help but fall in love with some. i love her jewelry, shoes, dresses, damn, even her socks and leggings are adorable!! so many fun details, like bows on leggings and bright pink shoe boxes. i really want her to be my long lost crazy aunt, so i don't have to buy any more

my new favorite treat:per 15 ounces, the vanilla flavor has 146 mg of caffeine. to compare, a can of coke has 40 mg and redbull has 80. this stuff tastes amayzing, and i can't believe how few grams of sugar it contains for how sweet it tastes. it also has vitamins which means i'll never have to eat food again.you've got to read the most hilarious review about it here.

it's funny how things seem to work out in the end. during the time when you're going through a stressful situation, you ponder and hope for one specific outcome. just knowing in your head that YOU seem to know the answer and YOU know how it should all play out.i remember being incredibly frustrated when i interviewed at my current employer with how long the process was taking, and the amount of

i read dreams from my father by barack obama in the summer of 2005, and really fell in love with him. i think it's my sociologist background that got me excited about where he came from, and what he had done with his life. in the last few years, he's been in the news more and more (obviously running for prez now) and i've really tried to take a few steps back to think about voting for him. i

i'm baaack!!james and i went to the coast yesterday, and had a very relaxing day!! we started out in batemans bay and walked around for a bit. it's sad that it's cold and overcast here, or else it would have been TOTALLY beautiful where we were. the bay was incredibly blue and very clear. as james and i were walking along, i stuck my fingers in the pacific!! now i've gone in on both sides...

happy day to all!!it's so fun to wake up here!! there are magpies, cockatoos, currawongs, king parrots, kookaburras, rainbow lorikeets, and galahs to greet you. and by greeting, i mean screaming. i remember when we used to be bothered by blue jays at burney falls in the wee small hours of the morning. that is nothing like all of these birds making crazy sounds. it's not too bad because i've

hi everyone!!yesterday was a pretty fun day, with some much needed rain for the dry little canberra city. james, cathy, elizabeth, and i started off by going to the canberra zoo to check out the aminals!! this didn't last very long as it started to rain and stop. then rain and stop. then rain and stop. we decided that mother nature had won that round, and we'd have to find something else to

i strongly dislike barry bonds. i had planned on going to a giants game with some dudes from work who had never seen baseball before, and i was pumped. we actually were supposed to go on tuesday, but it didn't work out for everyone. good thing, cause i prolly would have puked if i had.i am not a fan of cheaters, and athletes who have no time for fans, so i think it goes without saying that i

i believe that today was the most perfect day, ever!! i started my day by sleeping in, which was so fabulous!! it was the first day in a while that i had that much sleep!! i felt incredibly relaxed, and even my blood pressure agreed with me. i think it was 111/74. my crazy hummingbird heart was a bit higher, at 77. oh well, some things never change. :)james and i went to the 7-11 in

i can't believe all of the fun things to do at work!! earlier this week, i went to a talk by ben cohen (you know, ben from ben & jerry) who gave a great talk about changing the world. basically, he spoke about how it's not enough to donate money, you need to be sure you're helping to make changes. it's sounds obvious, but it was a great talk. after, the co-founders of my company were handing
