Kids are off in canada. Send off was easier this year. Lina went for a 10 month weight check, she was 17lb, 7oz, which puts her up a pound and some change since ehr 9 month visit. Her Pa came down from new york to meet her. She charmed him the entire short visit, and now she's panting at the doggie. |

I had my three remaining wisdom teeth out on thursday. I spent the next few days in a percocet stupor. It seems it also makes me a weepy mess. ugh ugh ugh. Today I am at work, but not for long, the pain is starting to get to me. |

Why did my dog attack two of my potted plants today? First he dug out my pineapple that was finally rooting. Then the palm behind it that was finally recovering from when Cookie came to visit and ate it. He killed all the new starts on it and the top that had rooted after being chewed off. He's never done anything like this before. |

Woot. Nic is playing the first trumpet part in the new song. (I can't remember the name but he told me.) Not quite the same as making first chair, but still shows a huge improvement in his playing in the past year. (boy, do I need new kid icons, Lina doesn't even have one, and the ones for Nic and Mae are 3-4 years old.) |

Last night I went online and ordered a new phone. I wanted something purple with gps. Chuck said get the blackberry, I was not thrilled with the idea, but figured I'd try it out anyway, insure of how the rant or lotus would hold up(one being a slider phone and the other being a flip phone.) After mail-in rebate the new phone would be 79.99. This morning I was telling my friend, and he said it was listed on sprint's webpage at 49.99 after rebate. It did, but it said my order had shipped. I called them and was told I could not have the new price. That if I did not want the phone I could refuse the delivery, but I would be charged a $35 restocking fee. Also I would not be eligible for the low price because I had already upgraded. I got home and got the shipping notification which said they had shipped me a BLACK phone, but that there was only a restocking fee on activated phones. Chuck calls them, because now it says it is the wrong phone(They only offer red and amethyst on the webpage, why was it saying they shipped a black one?) The woman on the phone said that they call it black because it is almost black, but that since it is not the red one it must be the amethyst. They told him the same thing about the fee, and then when he pointed out the email said "for activated phones" she took back her statement. Then he asked if the item had shipped yet, and she said it was still in the warehouse, but that they could not cancel the shipment. She also stated that she could not do anything to help him, and could not transfer him to a supervisor. Eventually she transferred him to somebody in billing. She was not anymore helpful. So, once UPS has the phone I can call them and tell them we want to refuse the shipment and see if they can just send it back before they get here. Our UPS guy puts the box down, rings the bell and gets back in his truck before we can ever get to the door. If he leaves it here we can call Sprint and they will send us a tag to ship it back. Once UPS shows it as having been delivered back to sprint we can then call them and get them to reset the upgrade option. Then I can order the phone again. Both deals come with free overnight shipping for the new phone. So they're going to pay to overnight me the same phone twice because they can not refund the $30 to my card or credit it to our account. |

| Anyone need/want a toaster oven? Works fine, we put it in the pantry a year ago and haven't taken it out since. It has a grate inside, somewhere I have a tray and broiler tray for it, I should be able to find them. | ||

Lina was 8 months on mother's day. Pictures were taken, Dominic even came over with his fancy camera and took some pro shots, not to get them printed for framing. She's still not rolling from her belly to her back, but will consistently roll onto her tummy from her back. She can pull herself up to a stand, on a human OR an object. She DANCES! She can sign potty and milk. She laughs the most when Nic comes home from school, but fusses if Mae doesn't drop everything to play with her. She can cruise from one piece of furniture to the next. She's back to wanting to sit on her potty, and the last load of diapers had NO POOPY DIAPERS! She's still waking at night a few times to nurse, and about 3am likes to get up and play with Daddy. She's started to figure out how to crawl, though usually ends up scooting backwards still. She can drop down to the floor from sitting into a crawling/rolling position, and can do sit ups with fingers but hasn't figured out how to get herself back into the sitting position she still loves so much. She's started to show food preferences, watermelon being one thing she will nibble but not devour, though I know there are others she isn't fond of too. She growled at the cat this afternoon for being in her crib. She plays peek-a-boo, and gives hi and low fives. I'm still convinced she doesn't know she's a baby. She loves to throw herself from one person to another too, she's quite the daredevil. Still loves her baths, especially when the water runs down her face when her hair is being washed. She has 4 teeth now, and loves to bite. She also likes to blow raspberries, make farting sounds with her mouth, and brush her hand across her mouth to make silly noises. She's said "oof oof" to the dogs, mama, hi(and we're pretty sure even "hi mae" and "hi kitty" before. She lieks to say blah a lot, and sometimes sounds like she's calling people "idiot" it's amazing how many sounds she's learned to make. |

I am tired and cranky. I have a new book to read, and a long day ahead of me tomorrow. Muffins with mom followed by WORK, and there is quite a bit of work to be done. Soccer season is over, and holy smokes was it nice not to have to deal with dinner prep and soccer practice overlapping. Though us having leftovers for dinner was nice too, and probably something I should try to remember more for next soccer season, not having to try to schedule volunteers will help too. Since Lina rarely actually does sleep in her crib, and my mom is up off and on all night anyway, I think we're going to move Lina into "her" room even though mom is still in town. Need to finish the valance for her window, and the belly cast/night light. My mom is going to re-ribbon the blanket Grandma Lina made me when I was a toddler. The valance is actually one of the antique linen sheets Lina made. It had torn, and we sewed it, but Chuck doesn't want to use it since it might rip again, so I'm going over the cutwork lace with colored embroidery floss, and using the lace portion for the valance, and then going to make myself a skirt with the excess fabric. I really thrilled with this project. |

For dinner tonight Lina ate: 1 small peach(Minus one slice Papa ate) 3 strawberries 2 multigrain veggie crackers 1 slice buffalo mozarella 1 coconut macaroon I was sure it was going to come up, because I can't figure out how somebody so tiny could eat SO MUCH. Yesterday she went to the doctor to get shots, and while there we weighed her. She was 16lbs 12oz! |

I'm selling a set of shelves. There are 6 shelves, one is missing in the picture so we could fit the tv, but we have it. Some of the pegs are missing, we have 16 of 24. Asking $50, OBO. --- Also, FREE, one green leather recliner. It does not recline anymore, but might be fixable. I love love LOVE this chair. I got it from my dear friend Herman Nelson and hate to part with it, but we have too much furniture, and I don't have the time to try to figure out why it is not reclining. Ugly but comfy! --- Papasan $25. Light colored bamboo, flowered cushion. For $5 I'll throw in a navy blue twin duvet that fits over the cushion to hide the flowers. --- 13" color hitachi tv, works no remote, FREE --- RCA VCR, works no remote, FREE --- Canon N670U scanner, $30 OBO Works great, just don't need it anymore. |

I went out this evening with some friends. Well, first Lina stayed home with Daddy while I ran the other two out/home with band/soccer stuff. Then I came home and grabbed my suit, and went for tea with friends and then hot tubbing. As I was heading home I sent Chuck and SMS saying "went to madrid." Just to see how he'd respond. He didn't and as I got out of the car I heard Lina crying. I rushed inside feeling terribly guilty to find out she had JUST woken up and was getting her diaper changed, and then I noticed she was saying "ma ma ma ma ma." I asked Chuck if he was actually saying it or just making noise, and he said that when she heard me she laughed and then started the ma ma chanting. *swoon* |

I had a short strand of blue christmas lights on a white cord. It died and I could not get the bulbs out to swap them and see which ones were dead, so I finally just threw them out after much cursing, prying and bulb breaking. Now my mask sits unlit. I looked around at christmas time and could not find another set. Anyone know where I can pick one up? |

After months of rewriting the same email, sending it and having it bounce due to typos or server troubles, I have finally sent my thoughts out. Perhaps tonight I will have time to sit and write out Lina's birth story without all the angst. |
