Hump Day Humor

OK, these made me laugh today. Hopefully, you will laugh, too! It's LOG... AND, I have a soft spot for pirate humor. Not sure why...

Bella and her purse

Ok, so when I go out to water the flowers, Bella is ususally barefoot, so I spray her feet. On this day, my mom was watering and Bella was carrying her purse in the crook of one arm, and her cell phone in her other hand. She gets so excited, and dances!! Check her out!

Twiddling my thumbs

So, here I sit waiting to hear about the JGI job. I was supposed to have an offer by the middle of last week, but then there was a second round of lay-offs at LLNL. *Eek!* So, the HR guy said he would *try* and get me the offer by today. I am a bit impatient about it!!

This past weekend, we had the three cousins photographed together. Getting a 3 months old, 13 month old, and a 30 month old to sit still and smile at the same time is JUST AS DIFFICULT as it sounds! Bella was deliriously giggling, running around and trying to run out of the photo studio (much like her 12 month pictures). Good times.

I think that she is teething or hitting another growth spurt... she keeps waking up between 3:30 AM (yes, "ante-meridian", look it up!) and 4:30 AM doing the "eat" sign before I even get her up out of her crib. Even after she POUNDS a 6 ounce bottle, she still makes the "eat" sign, and I think she must be crazy (or have a hollow leg). I put her bed, and she talks to herself for 30-60 miuntes. Then, I have to get back out of bed, and rock her back to sleep. *Yawn* Tonight, I am going to try to stuff her like a little turkey, and hope she sleeps all night.

Oh, and by the way, Taylor Swift ROCKS! She is just amazing! Not bad for an 18-year-old!

Welcome!

Hopefully, this blog will keep you entertained, and coming back for more!

The title is a play on a quote from "Elf" (my favorite Christmas movie)!!


But I think that people's favorite color says a lot about them. Currently, my favorite color is purple. I think that it changes with the different stages of my life. I happen to LOVE purple on Bella. It is definitely her color. I guess that really defines the current stage of my life... the "new mommy" stage.

Here is some insight about your favorite color:
White: Symbolic of purity, innocence and naivete, white has strong connotations of youth and purity. If you are an older person, your preference for white could indicate a desire for perfection and impossible ideals, maybe an attempt to recapture lost youth and freshness. It may also symbolize a desire for simplicity or the simple life.

Red: The color of strength, health, and vitality, Red is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, aggressive, vigorous and impulsive—or someone who would like to be! It goes with an ambitious nature but those who choose it can be abrupt at times, determined to get all they can out of life, quick to judge people and take sides. Red people are usually optimistic and can’t stand monotony; they are rather restless and not at all introspective, so they may be unaware of their own shortcomings. They find it hard to be objective and may blame others for any mishaps. Quiet people with a preference for red may feel the need for the warmth, strength and life-giving qualities of the color, or they blanket their true feelings under a sober exterior. Red is usually chosen by people with open and uncomplicated natures, with a zest for life.

Pink: This color embodies the gentler qualities of Red, symbolizing love and affection without passion. Women who prefer Pink tend to be maternal. Pink desires protection, special treatment and a sheltered life. Pink people require affection and like to feel loved and secure, perhaps wanting to appear delicate and fragile. Pink people tend to be charming and gentle, if a trifle indefinite.

Orange: This color of luxury and pleasure appeals to the flamboyant and fun-loving person who likes a lively social round. Orange people may be inclined to dramatize a bit, and people notice them, but they are generally good-natured and popular. They can be a little fickle and vacillating, but on the whole they try hard to be agreeable. Orange is the color of youth, strength, fearlessness, curiosity and restlessness.

Yellow: The color of happiness, wisdom and imagination, Yellow is chosen by the mentally adventurous, searching for novelty and self-fulfillment. Yellow usually goes with a sunny and shrewd personality, with a good business head and a strong sense of humor. It is the color of intellectuality and all things to do with the mind. Yellow folks are usually clear and precise thinkers who have a good opinion of their own mental capacities and who have lofty ideals. They may at times tend to shun responsibility, preferring freedom of thought and action.

Green: The color of harmony and balance, Green symbolizes hope, renewal and peace, and is usually liked by the gentle and sincere. Greens are generally frank, community-minded people, fairly sociable but preferring peace at any price. Green people can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, so they may get exploited by others. They are usually refined, civilized and reputable.

Blue: Soft, soothing, compassionate and caring, blue is the color of deliberation and introspection, conservatism and duty. Patient, persevering, conscientious, sensitive and self-controlled, Blues like to be admired for their steady character and wisdom. They are faithful, but are often worriers with somewhat inflexible beliefs and can be too cautious, and suspicious of flamboyant behavior.

Turquoise: Complex, imaginative and original, Turquoise people drive themselves hard and may be in a state of turmoil under their outwardly cool exterior.

Purple: Purples are highly individual, fastidious, witty and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different. Temperamental, expansive and artistic, a Purple person may become aloof and sarcastic when misunderstood. If you chose Purple, you tend to be unconventional, tolerant and dignified, likely to achieve positions of authority.

Brown: A Brown person has stamina and patience, tending to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable, steady and conservative. Browns are not impulsive, and may be inarticulate and tactless but they love responsibility and are reliable and kindly. If you chose Brown, watch out for a tendency to be obstinate and inflexible.

Black: Dignified and impressive without being showy, Black people want to give the appearance of mystery, but their preference may also indicate a suppression of desires and worldly aims, suggesting hidden depths and inner longings.
