Birthday Girl

It's my birthday next Tuesday and we're celebrating this weekend. Anthony got me a sweet sewing/embroidery machine (the Brother CS6000i -- say it with your nerd lisp!) and I impatiently ordered and received it already. I'll show you my projects soon. It's pretty much the coolest toy I could ask for. For me, it's on the level of glowing golden suitcase in Pulp Fiction.

I can't help but think about how I felt about Emmy on the day she was born, and it's lovely to know that my mom and dad felt the same way almost 24 years ago.

The last 15 lbs of baby weight aren't budging, but I'm totally going to eat cake.
