Random Ramblings of a Housewife

A few random things going on here these days:

--I made two amazing quiches tonight with our leftover Thanksgiving ham and I may or may not have had almost three servings.

--I watched Grey's Anatomy today while Olivia took her nap and I can't for the life of me understand why none of the ladies on the show have jumped on Jackson Avery.  He's by far the McSteamiest, McDreamiest doctor on the show.

--I think I must drive Olivia crazy because I ask her at least 1,000 times a day for a kiss.  Thankfully she complies about 865 of those times.  Best kisses ever.

--David is attempting to make his dad's ham/bean soup tonight.  OH MY.  He has two pots going with about 5 pounds of ham, 2 pounds of beans, carrots, onions and jalapenos.  FYI, I hate ham and beans.

--A new In-N-Out opened north of our house while we were in Arizona.    {We've been drooling over it's progress for the last few months.} On our way home from the airport, we stopped and waited in a line of 20 cars for cheeseburgers & fries.  Dear In-N-Out, Every time feels like the first time.

--We had our pictures taken a few weeks ago by our friend Maren and it is taking everything I have not to share them with you.  They are SOOOO beautiful.

--This dog lover is afraid is terribly afraid that she is raising a cat lover.

--We got Olivia a toilet training potty today.  She's been letting us know when she has a dirty diaper, so we brought one home to get her used to sitting on it.  Crazy to think she's old enough to know what's going on.

--Speaking of crazy, I video chatted with my parents tonight on their flight home from Atlanta.  Who would have thought that would ever be possible?

--UGH, I haven't even started on Olivia's photo album for her second year.  I should probably get on that soon.

--This may be my favorite age of Olivia so far.  Although, I think I say that every month.

--We went shopping up in SLO yesterday for a couple hours with Olivia.  I think she had fun on the carts - what do you think?

--She didn't have fun with Santa Claus.  I'll get that picture scanned and post it soon.

--Today's cold weather and sprinkles put a damper on our brilliant idea of using our tiny pumpkins as target practice, but it sure made it nice to cuddle up on the couch in front of the fireplace.

--David and I watched Inception the other night.  Holy Confusing, Batman!  I do not know what the dude who wrote that one was smoking.  

--And, it's 10:20 and I'm heading to bed.  Sweet {non-scary} dreams, dear readers.

Happy Saturday from the Central Coast!
