From my favorite author and my favorite series. I read the first 6 books in high school and again just about every year since.
Even if it’s bad it’s going to be so good. I think I’ll start from the beginning for the zillionth time, haven’t been this excited about a new book in a long time.

I don’t know but I am super stoked. HBO is working on a pilot about broadway and I really hope it gets picked up
Read about it here
Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies is cast and he’s one of my favorite favorites so that just makes it even more heart-burstingly exciting.
“To quote Neil Patrick Harris from the 2009 Tony Awards, “this show couldn’t get any gayer if Liza was named mayor”
Hells to the Yes! That sounds like my kind of programming.

Pediped shoes for infants. Asher has been pulling himself up so he needs something on those feet in the park and playground. These are easy to put on and stay there, he can’t get them off. Plus super cute and doc approved.
GAP Farmer’s Market. Asher and I go every Saturday and pick up eggs, fish, bread, fruits, veggies and sometimes the occasional donut. A FARM donut!
Royal Pains season 2. Love this show.
My nook. And the gift card my aunt gave me for my bday that is still going strong.

Network upfronts are this week which is pretty much like the NFL draft for television programming. I am about as excited to see the fall line up as a crazed football fan is about the 3 days of prime time viewing they get every april.
So If you are looking for me, here is where I’ll be:
at the CW
MONDAY:
8-9 p.m. — 90210
9-10 p.m. — Gossip Girl
TUESDAY:
8-9 p.m. — One Tree Hill
9-10 p.m. — Life Unexpected
WEDNESDAY:
8-9 p.m. — America’s Next Top Model
9-10 p.m. — HELLCATS
THURSDAY:
8-9 p.m. — The Vampire Diaries
9-10 p.m. –NIKITA
FRIDAY:
8-9 p.m. — Smallville
9-10 p.m. — Supernatural
Ok I am somewhat kidding, everyone knows I never got into Smallville!
I think I’ll do an update on my fall 09 TV pics to see where I landed and what I need to catch up on over the summer.
Also, you should definitely be watching Vampire Diaries.
And Life Unexpected.

I called it last February. I love this stuff. It takes approximately 1 minute to make the most delicious iced coffee in the morning at about 1/3 the price of the place on my corner.

Mrs. Meyers Baby Blossom Stain Remover
This gets every nasty stain out in one washing. And the smell just makes you close your eyes and smile.

Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes
Got this as a gift. Its my secret weapon.

If you have netflix you can watch tons of movies and TV shows for no additional cost right on your computer. Pair it with your headphones and its really handy when your 4month old goes to sleep in your room at 6pm.

I am in love with the chairs in this photo. Well, I’m in love with the window, the wall color, the table and that storage solution on the left side as well. I’m willing to settle for just the chairs.
I have no idea what they are or where they got that fabric but I think I need some yellow in my life.

I never realized so much of my life would be devoted to getting Asher to sleep. Even if it takes a minimum of 10-15 minutes each time thats what? 8x per day?? Its maddening! So this month I really just can’t get enough of the stuff I need to make that happen.
(since its a little too early for baby tylenol)

#1
The miracle blanket – This is the single item we cannot possibly live without. I have learned that if you think your baby does not like to be swaddled you are just doing it wrong. Honestly. At first we used blankets and no matter how tight, he got right out. I bought this on a whim before he was born and tried it out of desperation. Guess what, It really was a miracle! Yes it looks like a straight jacket but whatever, after a couple nights of no sleep you really stop caring. At some point we swaddled him in this then a regular blanket on top because we thought he was cold. Guess what we are stuck doing now.
#2
The swing – This is the second thing we are so glad to have around. He hated this at first. Once we realized to swaddle him before putting him in the swing it was great. So great in fact that he slept exclusively in this swing until last week. I definitely had thoughts that my 5 year old son would be sleeping in a swing but all of a sudden he kind of likes to sleep without moving so we’ve been transitioning him to the co-sleeper. Go figure. He still sleeps in the swing 1x-2x per day – usually at night when he is wide awake and we are not, or on a particularly fussy afternoon. This one was borrowed from friends so its awesome a++++ but if I had to buy one now I’d probably buy this crazy thing. When it comes to newborn related items the more crap it does the better. That’s my motto.
#3
Video Monitor – Speaking of doing more than one thing, I cannot imagine having a monitor without video. I use this for every nap and very rarely turn the sound up, do you know why? Because babies make tons and tons of noise. I originally thought video is a novelty I didn’t need. Then I heard of people with 2 and 3 year olds using the video part to make sure their kids were in bed. Not to mention people with 1yr olds telling me they regretted not buying a video monitor and buying one now. Hmmm, so there you go. Babies make noises in their sleep. If you can’t see their eyes or if they need their soother put back in you will drive yourself crazy(er).

Light Thingies – are these not adorable! I got them figuring that we’d use them as night lights at some point, never realizing that we would start on day 1. We each keep one on our respective nighttable and use them when we need to see what’s going on in the middle of the night. They charge up really fast and hold it for 8 hrs or something insane. We put them back on the base every few days. They are LED and never get hot. Just perfect in every way.
