…and her uggs.
Jaia got all dolled up for her first dinner party on Saturday night. She may just have been the belle of the ball.

(Including a play by play of the stars’ arrivals…)
Every year, for the past 13 or so, I have gotten together with friends to watch the show and to place bets on who the big winners will be. This year though, the circumstances are a little different. Rather than hosting or attending an Oscar shindig, Dan, Jaia and I will be watching at home together with our jammies on. I can’t say I’m that disappointed though. The first few hours of the show normally keeps us all enthralled, but by the end everyone is watching the clock and trying to hold back the yawns wishing it would just end already. (Update: Rachel Weiss=gorgeous, Cameron Diaz=sailor). On the other hand, I will miss the colour commentary with the girls, the amazing food, the yummy drinks and especially the Oscar pool. Michelle Nichols walked away the winner for the past two years in row but I think 2007 would have been my year. Lucky for her the Fullertons are MIA, that way she may get to keep her title for a little while longer. 😉 (Update: Jennifer Hudson=bad bolero, Kelly Preston=leopard print?) The best part so far? Joan rivers no longer hosts the pre-Oscar red carpet show. Phewf. What a relief. (Update: Anne Hathaway and Kirsten Dunst=ew). (Queen Latifah=hubba hubba, Portia De Rossi=hot) (Kate Winslett=WOW, Cate Blanchett=elegant) (Reese Witherspoon=better without Ryan, Nicole Kidman=ummm…Big. Red. Bow.) (Elizabeth Shue=are you heading straight to the office after the show?) OK. I’m done. Enjoy the show.

I feel like I’m looking in a mirror. After a shower. And a haircut. And being subjected to a “Honey I Shrunk The Kids” ray. I realize that I post something new everyday (or nearly everyday), but I rarely find enough free minutes in a row to actually write something and post it. I miss it. A lot. More than I thought I would. I need to make more of an effort. And I will. Maybe. At my 6-week post delivery check up, the doctor finally gave me the ok to get back to the gym. I couldn’t be happier. I also can’t lie, I’ve been sneaking in work-outs on our elliptical for awhile now. I couldn’t resist. Drs. Troy and MacNamara have been calling. I made a deal with myself that I wouldn’t take the Season 3 of Nip/Tuck out of the DVD player in the basement until it was finished (meaning I couldn’t bring them upstairs and watch them from the comfort of my cozy couch). So it gave me real incentive to get moving.
Unfortunately, afterwards I felt as though the hippopotamus had returned and taken revenge out by stomping on the rest of my body. But thankfully, it only makes me want more. Oh, and it helps that I am going with Sonja Lasagna and the other bridesmaids to get measured for our dresses (for the Woodingtons’ wedding) today. Yes, measured. Just 8 weeks after giving birth and someone is going to tell me exactly what size I am now. Barf. I wonder if they serve alcohol there? That would lessen the blow. And the appointment is after noon, so it’s perfectly acceptable, isn’t it?

Shan, you looked amazing just a few weeks after giving birth…it’ll be fine! Good for you for getting back to the gym. It doesn’t make me feel guilty for ignoring my in-house treadmill at ALL. 😐

Like I said while I was staying with you, I amazed that you & Dan are still energetic enough to squeeze in workouts. You two should be proud of yourselves! I haven’t stepped foot in a gym (or accomplished really any other form of exercise since……October). What’s my excuse?? I don’t have one! But reading this bit made me miss the gym and that feeling you get “post-workout”… thanks for the motivation! |

I love watching the Oscars. Like so many others, as soon as the red carpet show begins, I am glued to the television to pass judgement on what frocks the stars show up wearing (FYI – Jennifer Lopez’s dress is u.g.l.y. and the Japanese girl from Babel looks amazing) in anticipation of the ceremony. .jpg)
But the exciting news is that I hit the gym on Thursday. The real gym. I hadn’t been since before Christmas and I missed it. And even more exciting than that is that I ran! On the treadmill! It’s been ages since I was able to without feeling as though a hippopotamus was angrily stomping on my insides, but Thursday I ran an impressive 1.5 miles. Not bad for a first time back at it, eh? 
Kristin - Damn…those are some nice boots! What a cutie!
Auntie Jen - Such a pretty little girl!
sarah - She looks so cute! What a great outfit 🙂
