kendyl

needless to say, i am spending as much time as humanly possible with my niece, and taking entirely too many photos and too much video. i can't help it if she's adorable.

new glasses

i am one of the lucky ones in that i have very good vision. that being said, i suffer sever migraines when looking at a computer or a book for too long, and glasses help to combat them. so, it was time for a new pair. i had gotten another pair which malfunctioned two weeks in, and the dolce frames were discontinued. so i had to go with prada (thank you, flexible spending account).

what d'ya think?



p.s. i'm using my quik pod to take my self-portrait. hee hee hee

a nice little ego trip

earlier today one of our facilities guys, who i've known for years now, dropped by my office to say hello. with him was the 'new guy', who i've seen around for the past couple of weeks but hadn't officially met. our discussion was innocuous--nothing out of the ordinary.

a few minutes ago i went down to receiving to pick up a package, and one of the other guys i know pretty well in facilities, mentioned that someone had been asking about me and my relationship status. when i pushed him, he told me it was the new guy.

honestly, the guy is cute (with the exception of his being two inches shorter than i am), but cute. what makes it interesting however, is the fact that he is 21.

every once in awhile, it's nice to be reminded that you still got it...especially when you've spent the last three weeks in the gym and haven't lost a friggin pound.

a gift for you, netflix user

for those of you using netflix, if you haven't heard, they will be offering video streaming as a part of membership. they are rolling it out slowly, but i found an article with the cheat for jumping ahead in line.

the only downside is that it requires windows xp or vista, and ie, so, mac and safari/firefox users are out in the cold for now. fortunately, i use a pc for work. unfortunately, this is going to decrease my productivity by 80%.

a procrastinated post

all week there has been a heavy weight on my heart. i have attempted to blog it several times, yet doing so seemed to make it more real. but the reality has set in nonetheless--so much so that i have woken twice this week in tears, and so i blog.

recently, kate took kendyl to nashville to visit a friend and determine the feasability of a move there. upon their return, she let us know that she was going to pick up and go. so at the end of march, the two of them will be moving, and my heart is breaking.

perhaps this may seem an overdramatic reaction for an aunt, but my experience as such has been anything but typical.

i was there to witness kendyl's arrival into the world and her first breaths. since then, we have shared the same house, and i have been blessed to be a part of all of the wonderful firsts a child has. first words, first steps, solid food... i have spent the nearly three years of her life in close quarters with her, and now she is going to be living in another state.

it looks as though i may be in utah during move time, and i am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. all i know right now is that i am a wreck, and every moment spent with her now is bittersweet.
