The Look

I'm not sure why it's happening so early in her life, but Kiley is giving us a teenager attitude. She gives us this look....the picture says it all. The look that says "what do you want?" The look that says we aren't worth her precious time. The look that says "leave me alone."
I'm sure my dad would say I deserve every bit of this, but honestly, what the heck. She throws these little fits where she will NOT look at us. She turns her head and completely ignores us. We could be holding her and doing everything in our power to try to get a smile out of her, but Nothing. She turns her head and pretends like we aren't even there. Gosh, I always knew girls were drama queens, but I never knew it started so early! -- Michelle

Worst Fans

Something that I feel needs to be said. Boston sports fans are probably the most ridiculous people out there. Obviously I can't say that's true for every Boston fan out there. But there are a few recurring themes among these despicable people. The biggest thing that I've noticed that really bothers me, is that they are more worried about letting people know about how great Boston fans are. They're more passionate, they're not fair weather fans (a giant lie!) they're the most knowledgeable (almost as big of a lie), and loudest. If they weren't fair weather fans, or if they really were the best fans, then why would they need to go so far with talking themselves up. They come off as being more proud of the fact that they are a Boston fan than they are about the actual teams. Just because you're a fan of a certain team, that doesn't really improve or affect any sort of status of yours in any way whatsoever, unless you're a futbol hooligan. The other thing that really bothers me is that there are more Red Sox fans who live away from Boston, than fans who live in Boston. Which is fine, but just because you like the Red Sox, that doesn't mean you are obligated to like the Patriots or Celtics. Or especially the Bruins if you're not even a fan of hockey. I have always been partial to the Expos/ Nationals. I'm not a Redskins/ Wizards/ Capitals fan now because they play in Washington.
The Whole point in this is how stupid I feel people are who so desperately want to be a part of a group that gets to enjoy the successes of winning teams that they'll lie to themselves and everyone else about why they really are a fan of those teams.

Shawns Update

I said I was going to start working out more and that I'd give a little bit of an update. It's been about a month I guess since I started, and I've definitely gotten a lot stronger and I've probably gained about 8 or 9 pounds. I don't think that there are any differences you'd notice if you looked at me, but I'm not too worried about that, I feel a lot better and if I keep at it, I'm sure there'll be noticeable results. . . eventually.

Balboa Park

We went down to Balboa Park this afternoon to look at the rose gardens. We had never been down there before and basically just wanted to check it out. It was really nice. The weather was perfect and the plants and roses were beautiful. For anyone interested in going down to Balboa park, I would totally recommend it, but remember to bring your walking shoes because parking is really hard to find.

Cell Phone

I finally got a new cell phone! My phone had been broken for a few months, but just never got around to or wanted to spend the money on getting a new phone. It was in working condition, but I couldn't see who was calling me and I couldn't see who I was calling unless I opened the phone and used the main screen, but then I was on speaker phone, its weird. But, I have a wonderful husband who said I should go ahead and spend the money to get a new phone. I love him and I love my new phone!
I got the Verizon Blackberry Curve. Its Fabulous. Now I need everyone to send me a picture of themselves so I can update my contact photos.

Back in Business

Our computer screen died last week, but we finally got a new one! So now, we can check our email, manage our bank account, and of course Update the Blog!

I was just thinking about when Kiley was born. Probably because I was looking at Heather's blog and noticed a newborn baby picture. It's hard to believe that Kiley started at 3 lbs 15 oz and is now a whopping 13 lbs (with clothes and diaper on)! Even though I hated being pregnant, hated the birth deal, and hated the nights in the hospital, Kiley was worth it. - Michelle
