Halloween

RIP Joe

Another one bites the dust

I'm so bummed that my new fish, Little Richard, has passed away. I don't know what happened, I took such good care of him? Maybe I spoke too soon on the whole maternal instincts bit...

Better days. So happy, just swimming away


Little Richard LOVED my mama. Literally. All he did was stare at her ALL DAY long.


The beginning of the end


So long my friend...

Baby Vinko

I've never been a baby person. I've always felt slightly uncomfortable when people make me hold their baby -- or worse, show me the millions of pictures they've taken of them...until now. I am very happy to announce that the maternal gene has not passed over me, I have it! My sister Theresa has just had her first baby and I am in loooooove. Now, I don't know if my change of heart heart has to do with him being the cutest baby I've ever laid eyes on or because we share the same blood line, but I just adore the little one. I never thought I'd see the day. Here's the little stinker...

SAD

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future...You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." -Steve Jobs (commencement speech @ Stanford, 2005)

me, me and more me

One year ago today, my best friend/sister married the best man I know. Happy Anniversary Theresa and Chris -- missing you both terribly...
