Too, its a trend

I think that the saying goes: one its a fluke, two its a trend, three its an epidemic.

Well, its something like that.He's Minnesotan, donchaknow.

Homage to Peanut

Peanut Peanut!
This one reminds me of me. Aparently, I too was a pots and pans drum diva as a little tike.
Snow, snow, snow! The perfect age to enjoy it!
My dear Peanut and Angela (and Doug)...we miss you all dearly! We promise to make it to DC soon! She is growing soooooo fast!

Minnesota Nephew

This is what babies wear in Minnesota in the dead of winter. Here he is with Nana P.
And Too!
Who looks more at ease?

PS: major congrats to Baby Hemberger and Mom and Dad Hemberger! Way to go!!! Another good looking lad from Hutch!

Believe it or not...

2008 is going to be more, yes MORE, busy than 2007. I wouldn't have bought it either - until ISSB and I sat down to chart out our calendar and all I can say is buy stock in Dramamine.

I just got back from Philly and New York. (Stay tuned for posts on the art show...)

I am home for a few days -- enough to go to a local media conference and SXSW. Then I hit the road again for NYC, back to Austin for ISSB and I to celebrate 4 years together and 1 year in the new house. And, back to friendly skies as I am off to New Orleans.

And, that's all before the last week of March.

There is a lot more exciting travel after that: Sam & Tony's wedding, Lake Geneva, Chicago, Cape Cod, NYC, San Francisco, and many more....and I do mean more. Let's just say there is some QT on and RV in my near future.

Clean house: art shots and working kitchen!

Both my mom and dad, for entirely different reasons, have been bugging me to see photos of the house.

Mom, because she hasn’t see it with all the art up, and Dad because he hasn’t see photos after we settled in to the new kitchen.

So here are some clean house photos from right before my b-day party.

This is the "shelf" I am pondering, what to put here, maybe nothing.

Me, reaching for the stars.

Super Birthday Bowl XLII

The fourth Annual Super Birthday Bowl was a hit! If only the Pats had taken home history. I will say, the former Minnesota super stars lit up the night (Mulroney and Moss).

We had cake, apparently Ian (el Gringo) and the senoritas at the Mexican Bakery have some communication issues. This is (and I say is because clearly there IS a lot left) the biggest cake I have ever seen!!!!

Here are Jax and Nina, two of the spunkiest guests of the evening. The house and the patio were full – thankfully it reached 80 degrees yesterday. Perfect patio weather – on my birthday, suck it June Boy ‘bout time I have a pool party!

Sarge was, of course, in heaven! He and Yvette became fast friends, we just had to explain to her that he like kids better than adults because they were the same size and age! She thought he was great…who doesn’t?

Here I am wishing for Obama to come out on top not only tomorrow but in November.

And last, here is what happens when we let 30 people loose on my pollo verde! If you haven’t seen it, I did a post a while back with the step by steps. I don’t deserve all the credit, it is my mom’s recipe, but as I told Francisco, not bad for the “white girl from Minnesota.”
