The Face of Thirty

I am stepping outside of my comfort zone today.

Last night I went to my sister's (in-law) Christmas party. She works at our church and they took everyone to The New Theater Restaurant for the party. My mother (in-law) could not go because she had a prior engagement that she could not get out of. So I got to be her date for the night.

The food was great and the play was cute. It was nice to be out with adults and NO KIDS. Besides, I love to spend time with my sister (in-law) and it has been a long time since we have gotten an opportunity like that.

I dressed up all nice and got all dolled up. My bravery comes today from actually posting the picture I had Emmaline take of me before we left last night. I am not very photogenic. I lack that gene.

Without any further ado, I give you, The Face of Thirty.

Abby, you are too freaking cute! 30's not so bad, huh? Reassure me.

We'll be back in MO soon. But more pressed for time than we thought. Maybe we can still catch a beer though?

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...
