had my

beautiful baby niece over for a play date today. she is just the most perfect baby girl ever. quiet, happy, cute as can be. Stays away from all office equipment and scanner software since she can't crawl yet.

I couldn't ask for more.

just a teensy

tiny bit of time for quiet before the husband and the baby get home while the girl and the boy are screaming around downstairs.

This is a very happy moment.

My word these kids are loud.

we had such great

service at the dental office today that I ended up having flowers delivered to their office to thank them. What a huge differece in experiences from our othe place that we went to. When we pulled up to the office today, Bec said, "Yay, I like this dentist. It's the quiet one."

Finally tried

the much advertised fruit with oatmeal from our neighborhood coffee shop. And, it was gross! But I'm happy that I finally tried it and got it out of my system! Every night for the past few weeks, I see their reader board and think, "I've got to try that"! And now, one more thing off of my mental list.

sparkling dishes

Well, maybe not sparkling, but I wasn't using the dishwasher this weekend and I set the newly cleaned and rinsed dishes on the counter in the shining window sunlight. It made me happy. Kind of like hanging out laundry to dry, but inside.

It's all me baby!

I haven't resorted to using diet pills
yet, but I did get some good measurements from my gym weigh in this week!
I lost 3/4 inch in my chest, 1.5 inches in my waist and 2.5 inches in my abs, .5 inch in my hips. I gained an inch in my thighs, calves and arms which is fine by me!
