Grandpa Heins

This summer Aaron, the kids, and I had the opportunity to spend three days in Minnesota with Grandpa and Grandma Heins. It's not often that we have the opportunity to spend time with them. Every Thanksgiving most of Aaron's family flies out that way for a big celebration. Having three small children, we usually don't have the financial means to make the trip.

However, for Grandpa and Grandma Heins 60th wedding anniversary we made sure to be there. I'm glad we did. Amelia fell in love with her grandpa. The two of them were inseparable.  Wherever Great Grandpa Heins was Amelia could be found. 

At least once a week she will ask when she will get the chance to see him again. Sadly, he passed away tonight.

He was an amazing man, the kind of person that made you smile just to be around because he was so full of light.  I adored him.  He will be missed.

Being a parent is akin to daily attending a stand-up comedy show. My kid's crack me up every single day.   For instance, last night while Amelia was going number two, she decided that it was perfect moment to belt out the pledge of allegiance.  Clearly there is no truer statement for loving one’s country then taking a deuce. 

I love her!

Work!

I have been hired on by a local web company to do the content writing for a pretty amazing new website.  I am having my first ever client meeting on Tuesday. Hopfeully I don't screw it up! 

Also, I have been contacted by a local newspaper over the prospect o freelancing for them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I land the job. 

Finally I am gainfully employeed! 

note: my employment has nothing to do with Peggy Olson but I am fond of the dress she is wearing.    I wish everyone dressed like it was 1958 again. 

For the Love of Meg Ryan's Face

Every single day people across the country Google things like: Meg Ryan plastic surgery, why not to get plastic surgery, and Meg Ryan's scary face. They are directed to my little ole' blog. So hello there Meg Ryan enthusiast’s, the plastic surgery curious, and those who are opposed to the Meg's new face.


For you, I gift the following:

“I think when Hollywood is done with me, I will probably be done with it. I’m not interested in playing those stock characters any more and I don’t feel sad that I don’t get those kind of offers.”

While the kids are having fun at our neighbor's house, I should be taking advantage of this moment by being productive.  I should be putting the finishing touches on my english report on the decline of the United States school system, scrubbing my floor, reading the hand-out my histroy teacher gave me on the Salem Witch Trials.  But no, that's far too level headed. Instead, I am staring at photos from Fashion week.  There is something wrong with me! 

Here are my favorite Marc Jacobs runway looks:
