…and baby makes 3

Ahh, yes folks.  It’s celebrate baby time!! It’s Summertime, and babies are making their appearance.  But, before you all get crazy, and thinking it’s me I’m talking about….puh-leaze!!  I love babies, but I can barely get my shit together, let alone have to tote a baby bag around all day, on a feeding schedule…and make small talk with other moms who have kissed  gladly said goodbye to their former lives of freedom….respectively. 

A gift for Cash.

Yumm-O.

Not listening to my own blog rule #1…tongue in mouth. But it was too good.

I digress…Saturday was my dear friend Marie’s baby shower for her little bebe, Cash!  Oh we can’t wait to meet him.  He’s surrounded by complete love and adoration already, I can only imagine what it will be like once he’s here!! I got to spend this whole weekend with my girls.  Starting on Thursday, and I was in girlfriend heaven!!  But, Saturday was Marie, Marc’s and Cash’s day, and we were all so glad to spend it with and for them. The weather was perfect, Yountville, right above Napa, is always beautiful.  The turn out was fantastic, oh and all of my girls looked drop dead gorgeous.

Now, get ready for the picture parade…WARNING….it’s like my camera threw up all over the place….we had a great time, Welcome to the World lil’ Cash.  What a lucky little boy.

Love her.

A week after the Series Finale of Lost, I sat down with my viewing buddy and watched as the episode unfolded.  For us “Losties”, I think a lot of us were hoping, waiting for this last season to close out with many answers, so that our constant obsession and attention and confusion would all be worth it.  And for some of us, we got exactly what we wanted out of it.  And for others, it made no sense.  I am between the two.

I became a fan of Lost in 2006.  Although I hadn’t seen the first 2 seasons, I was convinced at the time I didn’t need to.  Anyway, I referenced “A Wrinkle in Time”, (also a book that Sawyer is seen reading in the series) because all through the series we all had our own conclusions what it could be about, what the fuck was happening, why the hell would Kate go sleep with Sawyer…GROSS, when Jack is so clearly the stuff that dreams are made of.  I came up with my conclusion which was partially correct, although I didn’t ever think that the end would happen just the way it happened necessarily, but I had a feeling. This show was a show that I think a lot of us liked because it was a character study, and it allowed us to make up our own mind about one person or another.  It allowed us to get to know a character. And my favorite character was Jack...maybe for all the wrong reasons, but all the same, I watched to watch him.  And the episodes where he was absent...bored me.

I never followed a show like this before….except for when I was a kid, and Full House and Family Matters were my Friday night guilty pleasure…I mean what else can you do when you are 8 up until Jr. High on a Friday night? 

Most episodes, I would get seriously excited cause I felt like I knew what was going on, but I also craved the mysteriousness of it all.  I loved being left in suspense. Within the last 5 minutes of this series ending, I was pissed, and crying all at the same time. 

This show was about faith, regrets, not regretting, hope, survival, friendships, joy, sorrow, anger, intrigue and best of all love. 

Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes...just be an illusion.

I don't know what it is about this weather. I love it, but at the same time it makes me feel snarky, and moody, and I just want to sleep like a hibernating bear, or run in the rain.  It makes me not want to be around many people...but lets face it at this time of year, everyone is sort of feeling the same way....but for now I thought I'd share with you the things I am.....
