change of theme

there is way too much talk of babies and weddings on this blog. and relocation -- although, to be honest, that is always at the forefront of my casual musings: where shall i move to next?
but enough! let me talk about other things. starting . . . now?

St. Louis trip

We went to St. Louis a couple of weeks ago to attend my friend's wedding. It was tons o' fun, and impressively organized and decorated. Yeah for Lauren!
Here are some pictures of the bachelorette party -- a trip through Missouri wine country! which we roped Dave into chauffering. I know, "poor Dave." But get over it, he had a good time.

i got me a one year old nephew

We were in Sacramento celebrating my nephew's first birthday. Circus theme! It was very cute. But i gotta say: too many babies in one weekend! Normally i can take all the baby time people want to throw at me, and won't be at all affected. I mean i coo and say, "who's the cutest baby?" and pretend to eat their toes. Okay, I admit . . . sometimes I leave and think about how awesome my baby will be and how it will win all the awards given to the best baby. (quick digression: i had a dream last night that i won an oscar for best supporting actress and it was awesome, but no one believed me because i left my award with zach braff. jerk.) But seriously, we saw A LOT of babies, day and night, and it's not like they bothered me or anything. It was just a lot. I guess that's all I really have to say about that. Many babies were seen.
