gadget-a-holic

i think this is me... sad to admit...

are you?

  1. You’d rather text than talk face-to-face.
  2. You can’t leave home without it. You can’t relax without constantly checking for email or messages; a cell phone ear piece becomes a permanent part of your wardrobe.
  3. Your family or friends ask you to stop, but you can’t. The Internet becomes a more powerful draw than spending time with family or friends or other favorite activities.
  4. You miss important life moments.
  5. You can’t stop even after it gets you in trouble, like being in a car accident while talking on the cell phone. ( i have never gotten in an accident while driving)

vacation has started


Let me first start by saying

"How bout them cowboys" My motto has always been 'ABC" anybody but cowboys.

Tony romo needs a new girlfriend.

Ok, enough about that.

1. vacation started with 8 hour flight with 1 layover in the middle.
2. eleanor traveled relatively well...

I am in LA now, leaving for Reno/Tahoe in a couple hours.
I hate flying and willbe RVing it from now on. so all I need is a hybrid diesel solar powered monster RV.

A new Chon



I don't think Elton John has it totally right, with the whole circle of life thing... but in some way, I believe my mother who passed away on Nov 19th, 2007, left our family with a gift.

We had an ultrasound for Sora on thursday Jan 10th. We were able to see a new fetus with a vigorous 175 BPM heartrate.

If you have ever played DDR - 175 BPM is pretty frantic.

As the ultrasound tech referred to the "New Chon" it/he/she looks like a gummy bear.
Big head, round body, and little nubs for hands and feet.


We are very thankful to our friends, family who have been praying for us.

he/she is in there somewhere

i think the head is down and to the left...
