Move over Oedipus - There's a new childhood neurosis in town

and there's a party to celebrate it!
While the Electra Complex may not be entirely new, the idea of pledging your virginity to your father is. There's just something about the idea of my father owning my sexual purity that gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Don't get me wrong - I give kudos to those who save themselves for marraige. I think its pretty cool, actually. Mad props to the waiters.
Saving your first kiss for your wedding day, though? What?? Your first KISS??? I'm curious to see if these women actually find mates that go along with this or if the end up part of the majority.

Dance Dance Revolution

One of the funniest animal videos ever...
My favorite? The bird in the very beginning.


Thanks to the Ginster for sharing this one with me.

Say Cheese!

Sydney's first professional portraits came in.
LOVE teh squishiness.

Picture #1 - Shorty Magee (please not the Michelin Man folds on her wee ankles!)


Picture #2 - Squishers (she looks like an angel, but I know better)


Picture #3 - The "Anne Geddes" (I love this one because it shows just how small she really is.)



I know I said I'd never do the bow/headband combination but how could you NOT adorn that little punkin head with a purty pink bow?

Where can I get one?

Signs my "Wildcat" days are over...

I have a Similac stain on my Porn Star t-shirt.

Getting back to "normal"

The past two weeks have been insane. Take normal holiday insane & multiply it by 8984372975634.


This past week alone has been crazy. Sydney came home on Thursday 12/28 and was greeted by her Grandpa Dave, Grandma Sharon & Aunt Allison.


Saturday it was off to the pediatrician - where she weighed in at 5 lbs!! Then up to Uncle Doug's to meet the rest of my family. It was great to have all three of my brothers & their families under one roof. Everyone got to love & hold Sydney & my mom made some awesome food.


Sunday, my world fell apart. I'm not going to go over the gory details on my blog, but I ended up in the ER twice - and then spent New Year's day in the hospital. I'm better now & happy to be back home with my little girl.


Sydney went back to the doctor yesterday & weighed in this time at 5 lbs 6 oz!! w00t! Then she got to visit Corey's office and meet all her Daddy's co-workers.


Thats about all I have for now. I'll leave you with some pictures:
