Happy happy Birthday Cara!!!

We can't wait to have you home.

One Week From Today...

We will be beginning McJanes Palooza 2009.

{I think we will all have made it to Winter Suites!}

Can't even begin to describe my excitement!

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes...

When I got an email telling me that Disney Princesses on Ice was coming... I texted my Aunt Elisa to ask if I could take Miss Miriam! We met after work on Friday at California Pizza Kitchen and then Miriam and I headed over to Energy Solutions!

Waiting for it to begin....
Prince Charming was really attractive.

I realized the following things:

• I have not watched a Disney princess movie in a very long time
• I still know the words to every Disney love ballad
• I have never seen Sleeping Beauty
• Disney Princesses are classic- the same stories I love my daughters will love!

My New Theme Song

I heard this song the other morning on my way to work... and fell in love.

Lunch With The Aunts...

Uncles and Cousins!

My Aunt Cristin was in town for a few days for the coolest thing ever {I am keeping my fingers crossed they do it next year, because I want to go}! She invited us all to lunch- and I felt so special because I am not a sibling but I was still invited! I guess I have graduated into being an adult!

It was great seeing everyone! {It made me miss my mom so much!}
I love her.

I Want My Stomach to Flop.

You know that feeling when you are on a roller coaster and its about to drop and your stomach feels like it is in your throat, and your heart is beating like crazy and you think its going to burst out of your chest? Or when you talk to someone you like and get this smile on your face that won't go away?! All of these feelings mixed together are what I refer to as a "stomach flop". It's a good kind of flop- you know, like the good kind of butterflies, the good kind of nervous. Not everyone is capable of making my stomach flop {I guess I am kind of picky-but the good kind of picky}.

All I want is my stomach to flop- just so I know it is still capable of flopping. I really do not think it's too much to ask for.

Is it?

Some Things Never Change...

and I'm okay with that.

Ever since I can remember my G'ma Cheryl has sent us Halmark cards with $1 every single holiday! Prior to graduating college I also got cordinating stickers! I am happy to report that I still receive a sweet holiday card!

G'ma- if you read my blog... I love you! I have many fond memories of you that involve you sending me awesome mail {book of the month, weekly cross-word puzzles, quotes in college, and many, many more}!

Be A Flu Fighter

I am.

I get that H1N1 is bad. I get it.

I agree- extra precautions should be taken.

But, I also think that people need to ALWAYS practice good hygene and cleanliness.

Last staff meeting we talked about being as germ free as possible. We also got Antibacterial Wipes to wipe down our desks, computers, and phones. We are also no longer allowed to use each others computers/phones/etc. We were reminded to wash our hands often, wipe down the door handles, etc, etc. I honestly felt like I was in 1st grade again.

I have to go now- its time for my hourly wiping of my desk.

Too Soon?

I think not.

Let the countdown begin. {Mine began mentally in September- maybe even August.}
