The Ex-List

This isn't what it sounds like because it has nothing to do with my own list of ex's.

I was hesitant to start watching the new CBS show because it looked kind of dumb. But, now that I have the DVR, it allows me to just record things and watch them whenever I'd like. So this weekend i watched the four hours worth of episodes I had recorded.

And the show was cancelled. Honestly! I spent four hours watching the show and then they cancelled it? If I had waited another day, I would have found out the cancelled the show and I could have just deleted the shows without ever becoming invested.

I guess the show is now on my ex-show list. Bummer.

a mother like no other......

one of my oldest and dearest friends had a baby in september. little griffin was born on 9.12 at 9.12am. he obviously decided to make a numerical entrance. bless his little heart. i was so excited for his birth. i must have spent countless hours shopping for an entire wardrobe for the little guy's first six months. he has to be the best dressed child in michigan.

last week vanessa called me and asked me if i'd be willing to be griffin's godmother. i was over the moon. from the looks of it, my brother and i won't be having children for many, many years (if ever.) the honor of being griffin's godmother is truly overwhelming and exhilarating. this means that i will be a part of his life forever. both of griffin's parents are only children, so i got the term honorary aunt before he was even born. now it is even better because i will be his "spiritual advisor." thank goodness i started going to church again this year. i feel like i can at least wing it when we are in church.

the godmother gig has thrown me into a crocheting frenzy. i started a little sweater for him today and i am half way done with a matching hat. i can't really imagine his nascar loving father appreciating the antique christening gown my grandma offered up. it is quite frilly and has been worn by three generations of my family. so instead my little godson will have a homemade cotton outfit crocheted by yours truly.

wow. this is fun. i haven't told vanessa yet, but i do promise to never buy him the noisy toys. that just isn't nice. i obviously really love the little guy because i am willing to travel to michigan in december for his big day. that takes a whole lotta love. i don't do winter anymore!

okay. i must get back to the project. i probably have at least a good half an hour left in me.....

20 days until paradise.......

In twenty short days, I will dip my feet into the ocean. How exciting is that? And during this week I am going to sit on the beach, gain some freckles, look at life under the sea and avoid all contact to the "mainland." Oh how I wish it could be today. Seven days of sun, sea and no phone or computer sounds so delightful. How am I going to make it through ten more days of work?

Did I mention I have already packed?
