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!

i should be packing…

… or cleaning, or looking for my UK mobile phone to take with me, or doing laundry, or something productive.

But I’m too excited to leave and so I do nothing. There are only 2 little links left on my paper chain. Yippee! Oh… a side note about the paper chain (which is just silly but fun)… I put it up at work and there have been a couple days where I’ve taken off more than one chain but I just figured I’d forgotten a day (highly unlikely!) but I was just excited to take off more. Well it turns out I’ve been sabotaged! A few of my coworkers (yes, more than one) have been sneaking in and ADDING LINKS! haha They were a little disappointed I didn’t notice! What little sneaks I work with.

Now I can’t remember what I was originally going to post.

Oh well… Happy Friday!


vanilla cone with flake… yum

oh my gosh… so cute!

The world’s only pink Bottlenose dolphin which was discovered in an inland lake in Louisiana, USA, has become such an attraction that conservationists have warned tourists to leave it alone.


Charter boat captain Erik Rue, 42, photographed the animal, which is actually an albino, when he began studying it after the mammal first surfaced in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern USA.
Capt Rue originally saw the dolphin, which also has reddish eyes, swimming with a pod of four other dolphins, with one appearing to be its mother which never left its side.
He said: “I just happened to see a little pod of dolphins, and I noticed one that was a little lighter.
“It was absolutely stunningly pink. I had never seen anything like it. It’s the same color throughout the whole body and it looks like it just came out of a paint booth. The dolphin appears to be healthy and normal other than its coloration, which is quite beautiful and stunningly pink. The mammal is entirely pink from tip to tail and has reddish eyes indicating it’s albinism. The skin appears smooth, glossy pink and without flaws.
