Driving Miss Daisy

I’m 32. I have been driving for over 15 years. I have never had an "at fault" accident. Today I hit a car. A Mercedes of course. Nobody got hurt but I feel like a total asshole and it’s going to cost a bunch of money. Not happy … not happy at all. I’m drinking Starbucks now … I was hoping it would help. It doesn’t. And now my car has to go to the Doctor. Ugh.

Miss Valentine

Hi Everybody!
This post is looooooooooooooong overdue!You have all met my BFF Kate right? Well – she finally had her baby! Dave and I went to visit and we took some great pictures. She is adorable, loud, and well … adorable. And her name is Stella Valentine! We got lucky and got to celebrate meeting Stella and Kate’s birthday all in one weekend! I think Katy and Joe are sleep deprived but they look great and Joe is changing a lot of diapers!

My fave convo from the visit:

Dave:“Me and Joe are going to the shooting range. You and Katy can stay here and show each other your vaginas or whatever it is girls do when they hang out.”
Me:“Ummm Dave … I’m not sure what you think happens but that’s not it.”
(Dave and Joe leave)
Kate:“SO – You want to see my C-section scar?”
Me:“Totally!”

And now … an ode to Stella Valentine …

Dear Stella Valentine,

We have been waiting for you for what seems like for-ev-er! We rubbed your mom’s belly and we wished and we hoped and you are finally here!

On the night you were born I had taken Dave to his first Garth Brooks concert and we kept checking for messages. Right before we went inside your Dad had texted Dave and told us you were on the way and we couldn’t wait! We knew that you had been taking your sweet time (sorry but you did take a while) :) and we were worried. … so we waited … and checked our cell phones … and we waited … And Dave said “I hope Katy and Joe are okay.” … And I sniffled and nodded … and we waited … and we went home after the concert and waited … and we laid in bed and talked about how great it would be when you were finally here … and we waited … and then in the morning we all got a text to say that you finally decided to come out!

I jumped out of bed when I heard it and read it to Uncle Dave. And then … he said he was so happy … and he sniffled too … and so did I. Because we know what a great life you have in store for you and how beautiful it is that you were born to such special parents. Your parents are two of the most special people that we know … and I mean really special. So welcome! I wish you many many years of growing and learning and rule breaking and laughing. And when you are old enough … I will tell you hilarious stories about your mom and dad that will make you laugh some more. And it will be amazing. And we all can’t wait!

A lot has been going on lately but I have been lagging a bit on the blogging.

The most exciting thing that has happened is that my BFF EvilKate finally had her Evil Baby!

There will be a much better post about that soon but Welcome Stella Valentine! Stella will be very loved by maaaaaaaany friends and family. Dave and I flew up to meet her last weekend and I will post all the pics soon. She is a precious little bug and I am so happy she’s here!

In the meantime – I will share this awesome tidbit with you –

So Dave and I head to the Burbank Airport nice and early for our flight on Friday afternoon. When we get there we find out that our flight is 2 ½ hours late. Of course. So we settled in for a wait at the bar. I was keeping myself busy on my iphone when all of a sudden Dave says “Isn’t that Ian Ziering?” I was like WHAAAAAAAAT? I almost broke my neck to look - and sure enough – It. Was. As I live and breathe it was the real Steve Sanders. Ahhhhhh I felt like Brenda the first day she met Dylan. (And if you don’t know what I am talking about you may as well stop reading now – because this is about to get annoying.)

I immediately turned to Dave and asked him to take a picture of us and he said no way was he getting involved and I was like “Okay later!” And I ran over to ask. Also - Let me just say for the record that I see celebrities all the time and I never even so much as stare because I know they hate it. But this is Steve Sanders! And once I ate breakfast next to Luke Perry and never said anything and I totally regret it. So I did it. I went up to him and told him I was a HUGE 90210 fan and he kind of laughed and said “okay – I can appreciate that.” And then his friend took the picture. And here it is.Then I called Celese and we sang the theme song … and then I sang the theme song all night until I went to bed. At one point Dave said I could only sing it 2 more times before he was going to kill me but I kept going because my love for Steve is stronger than my fear of Dave. I have seen every episode of 9-0 there is and I am not the least bit embarrassed.
