Zoo Fun

Baby Girl and I spent Martin Luther King Day at the Zoo. It was quite an exciting trip because Baby Girl was much more aware of her surroundings then when we went 3 months ago. I knew when she saw the flamingos (pretty much the first exhibit at the zoo) and started crying upon me trying to take her to another exhibit that I was in for a very different zoo trip. And different it was. It was actually alot of fun because Baby Girl really enjoyed the animals. She loved the zebras and stuck her hands through the fence to try and touch them. She loved watching the giraffe eat from a tree. She had a ton of fun in the amphibian pavillion where she watched fish, turtles and snakes. She screamed with delight upon seeing the monkey swing from branch to branch. A friend of mine told me to always go to the zoo early. I found out why. Because around noon-1pm not only does the zoo get hot but a ton of people come through the doors. So glad we got our 3 hours in and left the madhouse at 1pm. I hope noone else finds out the 10am secret because I like having the zoo to myself! Baby girl and I ended our trip with a pin on the carousel. At first she wasn't into it but she was watching other people and how they grabbed onto the gold bar and so she too grabbed tight. Its funny watching her observe the world. She really is learning everything for the first time!

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

How Was Your Weekend?

Does a Monday morning ever go by without someone asking you how your weekend was? I got to work and was bombarded with the question and this week I didn't have a thing to say. Didn't feel good the whole weekend so we did nothing except managed to go grocery shopping, make a trip to Target and watch several epsiodes of Quantum Leap and Battlestar Gallactica. I found that when you don't have anything to say it's good to have at least a change in your appearance to deflect the pitty looks for not having done anything on your weekend. Luckily, I had a new hair cut and color job so I was able to skip the fact that I didn't have any exciting plans to report. Last week I awoke with that I can't this hair anymore attitude and booked an appointment. I went back to bright blonde as opposed to darker blonde with brown streaks I had for the wedding. It was refreshing to go get your hair done after spending the weekend in pain. Luckily for me, the new hair color must hav...
