No Joke!

Scotti Lee Miller was born April 1, 2008 at 7:00pm. She weighs in at 8lbs. and owns the runway with her 21 1/4 inch height. Even though she’s a month earlier than first projected, she already looks around, plays with the cord to her heart monitor and enjoys passing secret spit bubble messages with her brother, Cage. She has her mom’s full head of dark hair and her dad’s eyes and lips (we’re talking Jolie territory here). Mother, father, and daughter are fine and should be home in a day or two.

She’s perfect, and I’m so proud to be Aunt Jenn to my little niece! :love:

Happiness is. . .

My (all too brief) visit with Narayan was just as I expected, full of juvenile humor and uncontrollable laughter. I’m happy to see that he hasn’t lost a lot of weight during his latest trip to Asia since he normally looks too skinny when he returns. For anyone interested, some of his photographs can be seen at NarayanMahon.com I’m sure none of the recent pics are up yet, and most of my favorites aren’t on his site yet, but can be seen at his generic hosting site, here.

Tomorrow, I get to play “Aunt Jenn” to Cage since my brother and his wife are at a golf tournament my brother is playing in. It’s the Coca-Cola something or other and only 5 amateurs were invited to play for the chance to play on the pro circuit next year. It’s a huge deal for him and regardless of the outcome, he’s really done well!

Ooh, my new principal was announced today (well, the assistant superintendent told me who it is, I don’t know if it’s been announced publicly or not). He seems like an OK guy from what we’ve heard. He’s a bodybuilder and former title winning coach, so maybe he’ll have the right blend of characteristics to whip our school into shape. :clap:

I haven’t commented much on this season of Doctor Who, but I have to admit that some of the eps have been just terrific. I especially like “Blink” and the kooky new Master. If Tennant wasn’t such a loon, I don’t know if I’d find The Master menacing enough, but with both of them running around like demented 8 year olds, I guess it works in a bizarre kind of way. I’m actually dreading the season finale since it means that we’ll have to wait until Christmas for more. I’m sure I’ll just break out the 9th DVD and tide myself over. :wink2:

Where have I been? SICK. I finished my first assignment, second assignment, and lots of work from my job, but I got a bit of a cold in there somewhere and I’ve been out of it. I’ve also been quite addicted to Treasures of Montezuma, a Bejeweled kind of game. I’ve beaten it 8 times now. My whole family is playing nonstop and so far only Scott has beaten it, too. He’s playing on a laptop with no mouse, so I KNOW if he had a mouse he would have beaten it in no time. As it is, I am the champion of the world. 😆

Yesterday, Cage wanted so Naruto cards, so we took him to get some and I had a chance to see Ashley. Yay!! Hope you got to see 300, hon! Next weekend I’m in Charleston for class, but if this cold isn’t completely gone, I’m not even going to ask my favorite guys for a place to bunk. I’ve got a ton of work to do for that class and may actually start on it today if my cough medicine will stop knocking me out. Pfft.

Another Year Something

Thanks for the birthday wishes! This was actually one of the more enjoyable birthdays of recent years. I got my early gifts from Ben and Jesse, super-cool post from Ben on LJ, socks and Borders gift card from Scott and Jamie, and a cool diecast metal AT-AT from Cage. Mrs. Bush (the other counselor at work) got me a caramel pound cake and Mom made my candle cake. The family ate out and had a pleasant time. Hobbit and Istar held a rowdy party last night, and Istar must have hit the hooch a little too much because he kept wanting to get in the fireplace. He’s a little nutty, that one!

I was going to see the MVHS production of Steel Magnolias, but since we have several inches of snow, it’s been postponed. Now I can do that work I had planned on doing yesterday. Ooh, and I still have to finish my assignment for class.
