My friend Charlyn said it would start happening around 3 months and, boy, was she right! My hair is falling out at such a quick pace that had I not been warned, I’d be worried.

I keep thinking that the clumps will stop coming out and that my shower drain won’t clog up, but each shower brings more and more hair at the bottom of the tub.

Some people might think that I could afford to lose a strand or two, but I secretly love my thick hair and am not ready to tout a head of wispy curls.

Woe is me, woe is my hair.

Even though today is Maggie’s 3 month birthday, the slide show portion is not ready. Last night, in the middle of dinner, I decided to rearrange our living room and Maggie had a HUGE crankfest. I spent the better part of today putting our house back together.

Plus, we went and met the Merkle crew for a picnic dinner tonight. Cameron informed Barry that the ‘sticky tree’  in the fort at the park is to catch bad guys and that there is also a balcony to watch t.v. or movies. Forts have gotten so much more cool since I was a kid. Connor is enamored with Sydney, so we just had to make sure they got to spend some time together.

I am determined to complete the slide show tomorrow. This morning when Barry left for work he requested that I don’t bust out a big painting job or some other home improvement shenanigan. I think after the whole shower incident a couple weeks ago he is deserving of a break.

We came to Anacortes for a few days – stopping to visit Thomas on the way – and it wasn’t until I was unloading the car at my parent’s house that I realized I FORGOT MAGGIE’S BAG AT HOME.

In attempting to load the car up with all the other gear, I failed to double check our front stoop and left the bag for Barry to discover upon his arrival home from work.

At least naked babies are allowed at Grammy’s house.

Our blog is being weird, it won’t go to our homepage, I guess that means that it is time for an update.

The fact of the matter is this: I’m not as capable as I’d like to be when it comes to our blog.

Perhaps this is a time to learn how to problem solve.

I should probably back everything up before I get all wild trying to spruce things up around here.

That seems like the safe and logical thing to do.

Psssht…..I might just throw caution to the wind and start clickin’ away!

It is June and I went through the better part of today thinking that June had already passed us by. I made an appointment and almost put it on the July calendar. I feel like the Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz….if I only had a brain.

My brain is clogged with different posts and my computer is filled with colorful pictures, but my days are filled with moments that do not include writing/blogging at length.

Priorities.

Today meant that I greeted the sun, and played frisbee with The Pug.

Remember her?

It just felt like a ho hum type of day.

Now we’re getting ready to eat dinner with a grumpy baby.

It isn’t very nice for me to share with you that our baby is grumpy, but it happens to be true.

She’s super grumpy.

She’s loud when she’s grumpy.

Ho hum.

I may or may not have just put my camera card into the CD part of my computer, never to be seen again.

This could be bad.

This means that if I have a baby today we’ll be without a camera.

This could be real bad.

I may or may not be heading to the Apple store to demand that they help me.

Perhaps they can get my marbles that are also in the CD part of of our computer.

What a way to start a day.

P.S. This may or may not make Barry “very” happy.

It sounds like Natalie Maines will be joining the Dixie Chicks for their short, short tour and they won’t be needing the talents of Hatalie Elaines any time soon.

This doesn’t make me sad because I think that Natalie sounds WAY better than Hatalie, but I am shocked that the Dixie Chicks won’t be coming within a billion miles of  Seattle.

I wonder if it is because Hatalie Elaines is rumored to live in the Pacific Northwest. Hmmmmm…..

Anyhow, anybody up for a road trip to Chicago in June with a teeny, tiny baby?

Yesterday my parents came to town to enjoy a birthday dinner with Barry, my Grandma & Grandpa Elvrum, and me. They also delivered some delightful birthday presents and were extremely generous.

Unfortunately, one of them just didn’t seem to fit with the others.

My dad seemed a bit too happy when I opened this portion of their gift. I know 30 is pushing it and I’ve got some grey hairs, but REALLY?

Fortunately, earlier in the day some beautiful flowers arrived on HBHQ’s door step from my sweet, sweet friend Kara. Aren’t they just spectacular?
