what's going on.

In case you were wondering, Jillian Michael's eating and workout plan definitely WORKS. I have lost 4.5 pounds in two weeks. Holla!

Thanks for the help in determining which photo is more "landscape-y." Photo A it is! I have one more portrait to take and then I'll send off my project and BE DONE with my coursework. Hallelujah! I can't wait for this stuff to be done!

I finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo last week. What a book! I really liked it until the end. The last 200 pages were grueling to get through. I doubt I'll continue the trilogy as I wasn't enamored with the first book. I am thinking about reading Bush's Decision Points next. Or the Hunger Games. I don't know.

We took Vivian to get her two-month shots yesterday. What an ordeal...for me. She was a champion. Husband said she reminded him of Lucy in the Chronicles of Narnia when Aslan tells her: "My dear, if you were any braver, you would be a lioness." (And of course that made me cry). We were so proud of our girl! She cried for a few seconds and then immediately fell asleep in my arms. She stayed asleep for about 5 hours, woke up to eat, then slept for 12 hours! Then another four. My poor baby! She seems to be herself again today, though. Smiles and coos galore :)

We have completely upgraded the entertainment tech in our living room. We donated all our old stuff (we were still living with college furniture and a college TV) and got a 55" 3D LED TV. Oh my, is it pretty! We also got some surround sound speakers and a Blu-Ray player. It was about time! I am proud of ourselves for living with our college stuff for so long, though. People would make fun of us when they came over because for some reason, a 27" Panasonic monster of a television was no longer "cool." ;) It feels good to pay for all this new, fancy stuff with cash. We can enjoy it more that way, you know? We tested out the 3D glasses and I was grinning like a little school girl. I can't wait to watch football on this television! We are blessed, indeed.

I am probably going to go back to freelancing here pretty soon, as well as saying I'm available for photo shoots again. I need to do something productive other than washing bottles everyday! I doubt getting a full-time job is in the cards for me just yet. I can't bear the idea of taking this little baby to day care. At least not yet. She's got to get a little bigger and more independent first. I know. I'm one of "those moms." It's ridiculous.

Ok, time to make my meal plan for the week.
