500 for Nuthin'



HAPPY 500TH POST TO ME! Yippe! There'll be cake later...let's say around 2pm at my desk. Marble. With whipped cream frosting. Yum.

Not much going on today - I was SUPER motivated and had list upon list of things that I was going to get done yesterday but then didn't. I ended up spending over an hour on the phone with the Apple support people as I have a wee bit of a problemo with Mac's battery. I get the evil "x" in the battery icon as opposed to the Super-Sweet-Lightening symbol. Anyway - after eating up almost all of our remaining cell phone minutes there was still no answer. I did a few more things that they told me to after we got off the phone and no avail. Mac still works when he's plugged in but the battery never gets fully charged, or at least doesn't let me know if it's fully charged. The red light never turns green. *sigh* So....the product specialist just called me back and a new battery is ON THE WAY! I love Apple. I really do. Very very nice people. Makes the sucky things a bit easier to swallow.

What else...I have the sewing bug BAD. I haven't done anything about it yet but I will. Tomorrow I'm going fabric shopping for Kelli's swap and I also have my eye on a quilted bag that I'd like to attempt. I also have a few other things that I'd like to create so we'll see how that goes. I figure...I'm not busy ENOUGH! Let's break out the sewing machine! hee hee. Oh how I love to be busy.

And okay, the resolutions. I actually gave you all a glimpse into my list-making neurosis. Yes, there are a lot of "resolutions" but they're more like "goals" and I do good if I can cross something off my list, ya know? It's a sense of accomplishment that I enjoy. So there you have it. I love lists! You should see my daily "to-do" list and my "big things I have to do list" (includes a lot of wedding stuff) and then there's my future-gifts list, my things-to-do-with-my-new-mentee list, my movie list, book list, wedding music list, grocery list (in order of store departments, naturally), my Target list...etc etc. that's just how my world works.

What kind of weird lists do you keep?

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
