One Trip Around the Sun

My baby girl has completed one trip around the sun.

Currently, she can dance. And talk. And she will take a few steps at a time. She is a joy and a blessing. She is also a little bit of trouble.

I am in disbelief that an entire year has flown by. (And Emmaline was kind enough to point out that Xander is using the potty and Elodie is walking, we have no more babies. )

My dolly,

Mama has delighted in your presence. At times in the last year, you were the bright spot in dreary days. You have been a blessing not only to me, but to your siblings as well.

With your blond hairs and your baby blue eyes, you light up a room. Your personality shines through already and I can see how....shall we say.....determined you are going to be in life.

My little princess, you are indeed the baby. You wear the title well. I am thankful each day that you chose us as your family.

Thank you.

I will love you forever and you will always be my baby.

Your Mama

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 ...

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?
