flowers and trees

The weather in England was so lovely… it didn’t rain even once. Needless to say it made it that much harder to come home to 3 days of rain and gale force wind in California. (maybe I’m exaggerating… but not by much) But today is finally looking very spring like and then I found this video and had to post it. I loved Silly Symphonies when I was a kid and this was one of my favorites. Did you watch these too?

Happy Spring!

ho hum

I don’t know what made me think I could fly in late last night on an international flight and be at work at 7 AM the next morning. Bad, bad idea. I just want to be at home unpacking, scanning and uploading photos, giving Harlow a bath (she looks like a homeless dog!), seeing my cousin who is visiting and reading through the 657 items I have on Google Reader and you know, pretending like I’m still in England.

I had SUCH a fantastic time.

Last night I was sitting at LAX last night wondering how traffic and smog can be so comforting when I fly into London and so obnoxious when I’m in Los Angeles. Honestly though, when I got into Heathrow and smelled the exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke and the sooty air it was sort of nice.

Photos to come soon!

a wobbly heart

I’m sorry, I know you are probably all sick of hearing about my trip, my countdowns, my paper chain and all that jazz. It will all be over soon I promise. I’m leaving tonight!

When I was a nanny the first time around I took care of a little boy named Ayo… a really fun kid with a really sensitive heart. When ever he would feel something strongly (excitement, happiness, etc) he would put his hand on his heart and say, “Vanessa, my heart feels a little bit wobbly.” It was the cutest thing.

I can’t wait to get off the plane in London, drive “home” to Denham Green and be hugged and kissed to death by three of my favorite children.

Right now my heart feels a little bit wobbly too.

i didn’t forget Megan

I like birthday posts, especially when the birthday belongs to someone awesome like Megan!

Ohhh Megan….  my long lost IM buddy.
She is a funny lass who changes hair color more than almost anyone I know.  Not only does she change her hair color a lot she looks amazing each time.  Some people have it all I guess!  The only way I got through weeks upon months of a more-than-a-little-nutty coworker was being able to IM Megan to death.  She’s so patient!  Patient and funny.  Probably the best combination of qualities.  She also took pity on me many days after my car was totaled by going to lunch with me and taking me to Target… you know, the important things in life.  There are so many great things about her I’m sure I’m forgetting some.  She’s got really good taste in everything, she’s crafty, she plays rugby, she’s a great listener and an even greater friend!  I miss my Megan!
And did I mention she’s funny?
HAPPY BiRTHDAY MEGAN!
