Tuesday Tidbits

• high five to myself for getting this done today. i am setting the standard high for the rest of the day...
• yesterday was my birthday! hip hip hooray! as usual, i was spoiled with love. i had a fantastic day! thanks to everyone for your kind wishes and gifts. amazing group of friends and family! i am so blessed.
• i am battling with annie these days. she is developing a personality of epic proportions. as i type she is laying in bed talking/whining away, a.k.a. not napping.
  
• the kid LOVES to eat. i know this doesn't sound like a bad thing, and some kids don't eat, bt she will literally eat ALL day if i let her. how do i know that she is full. she cries when i stop feeding her!!??
• my hanging baskets are still alive. first year ever. another high five to myself.
• dale-e-o came home last night from his 4 day 'work' trip to whistler. he bought some outfits for annie. too cute. i was SO happy to have him home
• Ed voluntarily left on the bachelorette last night. He was my fav.
  
• 2 more 'official' wed night ladies rides left. we are still going to go though hopefully afterwards. i have signed up for a bike clinic put on by a professional downhill rider in July. I am stoked.
• my mom and i took annie to the fat cat festival parade. she loved it. she is so 'with it'. totally gets whats going on around her, and was excited to see the bands go marching by.
• i am feeling major guilt for not keeping up with annies baby scrapbook.
• my dogs are driving me NUTS. anyone have any connections with the dog whisperer?
• for my birthday present, dale is sending me on a weekend getaway to see Ellen! YAHOO! I just have to book the tickets come the new season in the fall and YAHOO! I LOVE Ellen.
• the hummingbirds never came. damn it.
• my clematis is dying. every freaking year it dies. i am not meant to grow a clematis.
• annie is finally quiet. my third high 5 for perserverance (sp?). 3's a charm and I am outtie to get some stuff done!I just realized after posting these pics that has her mouth open alot....her silent laugh?! I also noticed that her and Grandma are matching at the parade!
