I’ve been on bed rest going on 6 weeks now, and let me tell you, I am cabin fevered! Putting on a dress and going out to dinner for my birthday was a huge treat. 29 years young (so happy to be here) and 33 weeks pregnant (also so happy to be here) (though it certainly limits one’s outfit options).







Apparently I only wear high heels twice a year : for Damian’s Birthday and for my birthday. What can I say? I’m 6′1” – I don’t need the height! And I have no experience walking in heels, so I just sort of wobble around and try not to totter over. It’s pretty ridiculous, but I have fun with it!

Are people from Las Vegas called Las Vegans?

I spent this past weekend in Vegas, celebrating my good friend’s 30th birthday.  It was wacky-town 5000 full of awesome, awesome adventuring with amazing old friends.  This is what I wore out galavanting around on Saturday, 2/21/09.

And just for fun, a little tour of New Years’ past . . .

I was just 18 wee years old in that last one, and a candy raver.  We were at a rave of course, outside of Santa Cruz Ca, and ringing in Y2K in a very rave-like way, ha!

I hope you all had a fun and fabulous New Years Eve, a portent of the year to come!
