She & Him




Miss Marie and I went to the last Twilight Concert at Pioneer Park. She & Him were playing. I like their music. I like the adorable Zooey Deschanel. I liked that she played some cool ukelele like instrument. I liked that the whole band jumped up and down as they sang. I liked that Zooey played the tambourine. I think I want to get one now, along with some bangs and a cool vintagey dress.

However, I did not like all the smells at Pioneer Park....beer, smoke (of different varieties), body odor, body function fluids etc. I did not like that I had to pull out my powers of feistiness and tell the tall boys to move because they were standing in my way...okay, I liked telling them, just a little bit.

But, overall it was most delightful. I had fun with Miss Marie and I enjoyed a very delightful concert. I would certainly go see them again. Check out the vid...

Ok, I think I am going to go watch 500 days of Summer.

I love this kid.....

This is one of my favorite things when I have a kiddo in my car!( I love the little hand sticking out!)



I love this kid even when he bites me, pinches me, pulls down my shirt for the whole world to see what the good Lord gave me. I still love him. His laugh makes me happy. The way he dances makes me giggle and his little kisses, too!

The Day the Falls Stood Still

Have you ever read a book that is just so beautiful and yet, haunting? This book was both and I loved it. I just could not put it down. It's so great to have books that draw a reader in and take them along on the adventure. I almost didn't want it to end.

A-ha!! aka meow meow Morten Harket!

















A-ha , a fantastic 80's band and my first concert ever, decided to hang up their hats and bid fond farewell. They decided to play a few cities in the U.S, so my sister and I decided to be crazy groupies and go to New York to see them for one last time. It was so great! We even tried to get tickets for their Saturday show. I think the ticket lady got sick of telling us that they were sold out. We tried about 3 times. I even mangaged to still fit in my old concert shirt from when I first saw them!

Finally!!


A barbershop in Harlem.

The Dakota....apartment building where John Lennon lived and was killed. Guards stand there at all times.

The Manhattan Temple


9/11 memorial

If you watch "Project Runway" then you know this building.

I was trying to get a picture of the skyline, but just got my big head instead :)

A cute French guy on the ferry to see Miss Lady Liberty.



This is probably my favorite picture from the trip. I didn't want to pay the price for the pictures they take for you, but I thought this was funny, so I took a picture of it when I thought no one was looking. Someone was looking and I got in trouble, but I still got the picture.

My new friend, Salami. Yep, like the meat!
Rockerfeller Plaza



(for some reason, it's letting me add more. We did lots and had lots of fun!)

The following is a text that I got from my sister. It's a conversation she had with her daughter.


Boo: How come you know so much about my life?

Mom: Because I am your mom

Boo: No, you aren't my mom. You are my mother.

Mom: What's the difference?

Boo: A mom is someone that is in their 20's. A mother is someone that is 30 and older.
