Virginia Rewind

Last weekend, I took a very short trip to Virginia. Scott was in Ohio at a convention and I thought it would be spectacular to visit a few friends.

Friday night, I had dinner with Maria and Chris at a lovely French restaurant in Reston. Saturday morning, I drove to Charlottesville to see my friend SixofClubs, her husband, the house (Mount Crumpit) and her baby Elizabeth (The Bean). It was fantastic but was far too short. I was flying out at 6 in the morning and needed to drive through some serious storms to get back to Tyson's Corner and they had house stuff to do.

Cutest baby evah!

Webcam-O-Rama

My boss at Disney wanted me to get a webcam and be able to conduct meetings "live" with the crew in North Hollywood. It really hadn't crossed my mind until today when my friend Six of Clubs asked me to help her test AIM video functionality. She was going to send video of the baby to her in-laws - makes sense. From a work perspective, it's a little disconcerting that I'll have to look decent for all calls with the team going forward.

The webcam I have is a few years old and certainly not that sophisticated. Scott had it lying around for me to try out. It works decently so I ordered a new one courtesy of Disney. It's the most super-duper cam I could find and dammit, it better make me look good even when it's the end of the day, I'm frazzled and don't feel good. (Although, [info]meredith  always looks fantastic in hers - why is that??)

Missing in Action

I've really been remiss in posting here. It's hard to keep up with Facebook and this space. I have a lot of old friends I've found on Facebook so as much as I hate that medium, I like keeping up with my friends who seem to have become Facebook-o-philes. I'm going to try to keep up with this more regularly, even though things in my life aren't very exciting (to me, anyway). I still work 2 full-time jobs (Disney and at the hospital), I still travel a bit (no where very exciting) and I dream of going all over the world.

For now, I'll live vicariouly through [info]vilasy who has been some remarkable places and who's blog has really taken off since I began reading her a few years ago.

Although it's not very exciting, a photo I took in NYC last weekend when I traveled down to help my friend Laura with a show.

I Want to Go Back

It's cold, it's raining and it's dreary/miserable in New England right now. I want to go back on vacation, back to St. Martin.

My vacation was incredible, the weather gorgeous, it was relaxing and fun. Spent time with some of my favorite people.

::sigh:: I want to go back.

Heart Weekend

I really dislike Valentine's Day. It's commercial, it's a gimmick and why would you not tell someone you love them all the time (through actions) all year long? Still, I'm very appreciative of the spectacular things I was given. Scott wanted to show me how much he appreciated everything I've done for him lately - he's had surgery and a lot of follow-up.

To celebrate the event, I got absolutely gorgeous flowers at the office Friday:



I got a decadent gift card to Coach where I was able to find something I wanted in about a nano-second:

                                                        
And to top it off, my new 9" mini computer arrived today. It will be ideal when I head to St. Martin the first week of March. I'll be able to get on the internet, read mail, play games but not get sucked into real work - not that Laura is going to allow me to do that anyway.

Now back to reality - back to work.

My friend Laura always manages to find the most interesting things on the "net."  She's also the one I go to if I can't find something I'm desperately looking for - and she finds it. Keep in mind, I'm not a slouch when it comes to surfing and finding things but she really takes it to a new level.

She sent this to me a few days ago, knowing how much I like Nikon's. Granted, I would rather have the real thing but this is incredibly clever. Slashfood




More Snow in New England

I'll admit, I do like the snow. It comes from having been deprived for the first 3.5 decades of my life while living in Louisiana. When it's fluffy and not accompanied by ice, it's beautiful and I find myself wanting to take pictures. After a while, they all look similar but here we go again. My January 18, 2009 photo of it snowing outside my kitchen window.

Annoying as Hell

I've never wanted to physically hurt anyone before. However, had I been within arm's length of this idiot, I would have had to harm her.

OMG, I just wanted snow.

She Listened

Elizabeth Nicole apparently heard me last night. She arrived at 2:50AM today and was only 7lbs 2oz.  A perfect size for a little baby girl. (What do those ultrasounds know?) Yay!

Hurry Up, Elizabeth!

My friend Francis is having a baby right now (or may have already). Elizabeth Nicole was due yesterday and being stubborn, wasn't close to coming to the world. Last week, she was 8 1/2 lbs and her head is in the 90+ percentile. This week, I'm sure she's larger so the doctor felt it was time to induce labor.

This is the first baby for her husband and her and I know she's scared to death and excited. Hurry up, Elizabeth. Mommy is probably tired by now.
