The past THREE days have consisted of THREE things that I’ve been SO wanting to write about:
A. Our big MOVE
B. The 2010 GRAMMY’s and
C. My BIRTHDAY
Because of THE MOVE, I have not been able to FIND my laptop amdist the sea of boxes and dirty laundry and Sesame Street paper plates. But now I’m back to a semi-normal state in our brand new digs, so here’s a QUICK update. (The final season premiere of LOST is tonight, okay?)
THE MOVE:
Our landlady kicked us out so we had to find a new place to live and FAST. This all happened right after our Christmas vacation (Happy New Year! Yeah, right). But it’s actually been a great blessing in disguise. I personally don’t really mind moving because I’ve done it A LOT and it also gets me a chance to dig into my inner Hoarders fantasy of tossing out all this random stuff. I get such a sweet satisfaction when I throw out bags of old junk and garage pilings. Not that my house looked like an episode of Hoarders, mind you. Quite the opposite. It’s the OCD side of me. Just ask my husband.
We found a bigger, nicer, and CHEAPER place to live that is close to Bean’s preschool and the mall. What more could I want? It was a little sad to move out of the house where Bean grew up and Annabel was born, but we’re excited for our brand new “home sweet home.”

THE 2010 GRAMMY’S:
The 2010 Grammy Awards were really great this year. Lady Gaga opening the show with Elton John. Pink continuing to swing around in the air and SING at the SAME TIME. Taylor Swift looking cute while winning a bunch of gold awards. But I really want to point out Beyoncé. She is super talented and classy. I love that she is amazingly successful and married to the also amazingly successful Jay-Z. Yet they have no DRAMA . No paparazzi scandal photos. No stories in the entertainment gossip magazines. They are just a talented couple. And Beyoncé had a really strong performance Sunday night. You go, girl.

MY BIRTHDAY:
I hate surprises and I was totally surprised, BIG TIME, on my birthday. In a GOOD way. My hubbie took the day off work and did not tell me. I woke up at 5:30 AM SCREAMING at him to “Wake UP! You are SO LATE! AHHHHHH!” and he just rolled over and said “SURPRISE!” That was GOOD. He made an awesome French Toast with Berries breakfast. He took care of the kiddies ALL DAY LONG. He sent me to the spa for a massage and facial. Oh, and he gave me THIS!
A record player! For my RECORDS!
Yes, it’s a RECORD PLAYER. AWESOME. I have saved all of my albums and 45’s since the 1980’s and it’s been so much fun to unpack all day long while listening to these great songs on a RECORD PLAYER. Maybe it’s just me, but I love it so. Oh, and the grand finale to my birthday? I’m seeing John Mayer in concert Saturday night. Yep, it was a pretty darn good birthday this year.
One of my best birthdays ever.
