The 8th day of the 8th month of the 8th year of the current century…If you’re asian or partly asian, this is the day to bet big! For those not in the know, 8 is considered a very lucky number<\/a> in most asian cultures. I’ve got two friends celebrating a birthday today and another friend scheduled for a c-section earlier this morning.<\/p>\n

Though it may not seem like it, I feel like I\u2019ve been neglecting Kellybean, not writing as often as I as I would like and so on\u2026I\u2019ve been busy with\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026Work – really! With folks on vacation, guess who gets to fill-in for them?<\/p>\n

\u2026trying to plan a child-less vacation \u2013 we\u2019ll be in Andalucia<\/a> for a week. Temperatures are in the high 90s, low 100s \u2013 mas agua por favor \u2013 which also means that I need to brush up on my espanol muy pronto! I bought the lonely planet spanish language guide (just as a refresher) and was shocked to see translations for social situations. Close, intimate, social situations, at that. I guess that\u2019s me in my old mama age.<\/p>\n

\u2026attending baby showers, a bridal shower, and a birthday party<\/p>\n

\u2026the AIDS Walk \u2013 in the same weekend as a baby shower and same day as the bridal shower. There were so many people it was insane! Mads and I were supposed to walk with our friend, T, but foolishly, we never agreed on a meeting spot. Mads was going through a cycle of ride in the BOB, get out and walk, back in the BOB, walk, BOB, walk\u2026we made it about \u00bd way through when Mads and I decided we had enough. All in all, $4.5M was raised, so thank you to those who helped us meet and surpass our fundraising goal!<\/p>\n

\u2026figuring out how to get to Austin, Texas for a wedding the day we get back \u2013 in the end, the wedding lost out. If we weren\u2019t going to be able to make it to Santa Barbara for a wedding, how on earth would we make it to Texas?<\/p>\n

\u2026playing Wii Fit – though not so much anymore as I\u2019m finding it impossible to get up early to workout<\/p>\n

\u2026figuring out how to play DVDs on the PS3 \u2013 yes, we now have a PS3. if you\u2019re counting, in our entertainment console we have the TiVo, a xBox 360, a Wii (the Wii fit board fits nicely underneath the console) and now a PS3. Purchased for work reasons, we now can watch Blu-Ray DVDs. So, last weekend, we went to Blockbuster, rented National Treasure 2 and the Lego Indiana Jones game for the PS3. (Oh, and S finally mounted the flat screen to the wall.) After the movie\u2026could I tell a difference? Of course not! I really should have lied to S and said, \u201cYes, my gosh! How did we not get this sooner!\u201d Just kidding! Which reminds me, I need to update my Netflix queue to include Blu-Ray.<\/p>\n

\u2026wasting time on Facebook & Kaboodle<\/p>\n

(To be honest, I\u2019ve also been distracted by this Anderson Cooper \u2013 Lohan Family battle, so insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but like all traffic accidents, I can\u2019t look away. And while I\u2019m on the topic of celebrity \u201cnews\u201d \u2013 why the heck is Suri Holmes Cruise still on a bottle?)<\/p>\n

In other news<\/strong><\/p>\n

My cousin alerted to me that FOX the king of trash tv, may be in the works in airing a game show wholly devoted to\u2026wait for it\u2026HUMAN TETRIS!!! The story is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two words why I think Obama will be the next president: web<\/a> presence<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
