Meet Michele

Michele is from North Carolina. Michele's last name starts with a "B". Michele uses Verizon Wireless. Michele has short blond hair. Thats really all we know.

She emailed me her "try to look hot" pictures today at my thechamp email address. Clearly and once again, I was not the intended recipient. I responded to Michele and let her know that these were received by someone else but that I thought she looked hot.

Good luck on the relationship hunting! P.S. If you are interested in Michele please let me know and I'll pass on her number.

We Don't Yet Know Her Name

On November 19, 2007 I announced on this blog that Sydney was on her way. Today, I am announcing that a soon to be named girl is on her way! Last Monday, David and I went to the doctor expecting an ultrasound to find out the sex. The doctor said "We'll do it next time, at 22 weeks". Figures, 22.

Saturday morning I woke up and decided I couldn't wait any longer. The only way around waiting was to go and get a 3D Ultrasound. After
Sydney's 3D Ultrasound I swore I wouldn't get another one but I changed mine and decided to get the "gender determination" package. This is the cheapest package that basically gives the sex and a couple of photos. She did better than Sydney did on her 3D Ultrasound. You could see her face, soft spot, arms and legs and definitely tell that she was a she.

We were all shocked that it was a girl-everyone was expecting this arrival to be Steven. Her name is not even close to being decided but Cannon is in the lead. Suggestions????

"I Think I Broke My Toe"

Monday night I was on my way to the leadership retreat driving a mini-van full (yes, mini-van) of IT men. On the drive my mom called and the following conversation ensued:

Mom (slightly crying): I have a problem, I think I broke my toe
Kim: What? How did that happen?
Mom: I dropped my computer on it. What should I do?
Kim: Put ice on it
Mom: I did
Kim: Well you can go to the Urgent Care and get an X-Ray
Mom: Will they do anything to treat it?
Kim: I don't think so


**Mom decides not to go to ER/Urgent Care but thinks she broke it**
**Kim gets off the phone, tells the whole van and laughs**


Fast forward 22 Hours


I am at Deena's house and am walking in the backyard and don't see a step. I swing my foot into and am in instant pain "I think I broke my toe". 18 hours later, it's confirmed. My toe is black and blue and I am in so much pain!


So how can my mom break (or almost break) her toe on Monday and I break (or almost break) my toe on Tuesday? I don't normally believe in karma but I'll tell you this, next time mom gets hurt I'm not gonna laugh.

Rude Passenger On Flight To Phoenix

Tonight, I was boarding the flight to Phoenix and the man in front of asked the captain if the flight was full. The captain turned around to go look at the manifest and I said to the guy "It's Empty". I said this because I was A17 and there were 2 people that had boarded in business select and it didn't look like there were even any B's at the gate. Here's the rest of the conversation:

Man: "I was asking the captain".
Kim: "O-K"
Captain (comes back): :The flight is empty"
Man: "Well, I guess I should have just asked the expert here"

Proof that the flight was empty:
(BTW: Love the guy catching my not so discreet photography)

Get better, Becca, Elizabeth and Joshua!!!!

Sushi On Brand

I love Sushi on Brand in Glendale. The sushi is just okay but they have this awesome tempura called W.A.T. It stands for Whitefish Asparagus Tempura and it comes with a ponzu sauce for dipping. It's fantastic. I have been wanting to take David there for awhile and tonight we were in Glendale and decided to go. It was a great meal.

Sydney particularly enjoyed her dinner. By the end she was dipping her spoon into tempura sauce and licking it over and over. I couldn't help but crack up at her plate when she was done.

Noah's Bagels

I never eat bagles. Number 1 reason is because of the carbs and calories but generally I just never really want one. I had gone twice to the Noah's bagels by my house and both times I was so offended by the store manager (or owner) that I swore I wouldn't go back. She was rude to her employees and I felt treated them horribly. Her behavior did not warrant my rewards by frequenting her bagel store. (I have actually seen her around town a few times and been rude to her so she knows how it feels)

For the last week my regular Starbucks has been closed for renovation. This has led to me frequenting the Hastings Ranch Starbucks which is right across from Noah's bagels. I decided the other day to go in......I ordered an Everything bagel with reduced fat garlic and herb cream cheese (I just can't say Shmear) So good! I was very pleased that the manager was not there.


The next day.....return trip....this time with a Jalapeno Cheddar bagel and garlic and herb cream cheese. Excellent. I also picked up a Cinnamon Raisin bagel for David with reduced fat plain cream cheese. The manager was not there again.

And today......split a Jalapeno Cheddar bagel with a jalapeno salsa cream cheese with mom. The manager was not there again. (I hope she got fired or sold the business and is not simply on vacation)

Regardless, the bagels have been great but I am looking forward to the reopening of my regular Starbucks later this week. Too many calories for me.


P.S. This is not a PG craving (Don't even think it) it's a matter of proximity.

Sneaking The Blackberry And The Sweet Tea

I saw Sydney sneaking the Blackberry Curve and the Sweet Tea. She stopped drinking and then began a one sided phone call on the Blackberry. Next, she noticed the camera and the familar smile came out. LOL (P.S. I cleaned the Pearl lens after these shots)



Wow!

3 Kids, A Dog, Toys, Books, Sing-A-Longs & Their First Ice Cream Push-Ups





















They Are Still Birkenstocks...

This morning I on put on a brown suede pair of Arizona style Birkenstocks. I carefully selected this pair since I was wearing brown shorts and wanted to make sure I matched. About an hour later Sydney was playing with my feet and shoes and I didn't notice the switch.....Right foot had been replaced with a black leather Milano style (backstrap) Birkenstock.

On two separate trips out I proceeded to go to Starbucks, Costco, Michaels (twice) and the grocery store. It wasn't until a few minutes ago that I noticed. You want to talk about embarrassing? That is embarrassing.

P.S. My ankles looks either a bit swollen or deformed also, I wonder how many people (like me) saw and took a picture.
