Digging Out

We quite literally spent all day yesterday digging out. I had imagined a snow day more like this: get up late, drink hot cocoa, knit, watch MARTHA, have lunch, sew, read, nap, watch a movie, etc.

Instead it went like this:

get up late, shovel, take a break, shovel, take another break, shovel, take a 10 minute cat nap, shovel, etc. Thank god Steve got the snowblower working last week or it would've went on longer than it did!

Last night was nice though - we hung out with our neighbors - a champagne toast to my last day of work, fabulous conversation (capitalism doesn't work, Dustin!) and a rousing game of Taboo.

This morning I'm off to Minneapolis (if I can get picked up, we're not plowed out yet) to hold auditions for the first 4 Track Film. There is also an IFP party that we're planning on attending tonight. Should be fun.

The sun is out this morning and the sky is a brilliant blue. The white unspoiled snow is just amazing.

Happy Weekened, everyone!

Oh my goodness, look at all that snow! It looks beautiful, but I'm still very happy to be in the non-snowy part of California. In fact I still think that it's too cold up here in northern CA. That's probably because I was spoiled by growing up in sunny LA. Stay warm and bundled up! :-)

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!
