Yup, the carnivores are taking a break! This was actually Lee's idea and I'm just going along with it cause it's a good challenge. Plus, I wanna lose some weight. Last night we had fish tacos but instead of the tortilla, we used iceberg lettuce wraps. Was good. Won't rave about it..but it was good. Today is mash potatoes, mushroom gravy and brussel sprouts.
We're going to try super hard not to eat meat. There goes bacon (gulp!), chicken pelau, deli meat, fried chicken, CURRY CHICKEN...omg. that's gonna be a tough one.
But it won't be that bad. We're still eating fish and shrimp. Will just have to make curry shrimp and potatoe instead to get my curry masala fix.
Wish us Luck!

The Details
Dear Adriana Carly,
I wanted to make note of the day you were born because I know time would fly by and soon enough you'll be giving me chats and it would only seem like yesterday you came into this world. I was laying in bed at 6:30 a.m. wondering what happened during the night. Then my phone bings, and it took me a second to realise it was a incoming text message and not my usual alarm. Your mother sent me a picture. Did she not remember I have an archaic phone and can't receive pics? Ugh, how dare she forget. So I text her back saying to email me the picture but she didn't reply. I assumed it was a picture of my new niece. My first niece actually. Well, second cousin..but we don't need to get technical.
So I brushed my teeth and called your grandmother who is usually up at the butt crack of dawn. She confirmed that you did appear and was doing well. She forwarded me a picture and I checked you out on my computer. You looked like a normal newborn. All red n puffy so I couldn't check you out right. I was going to pick your grandmother up and head down to the hospital but she said that your mother would have been tired and needed rest. So off to the hell hole I went.
I knew I was going to leave work early to come visit. I knew I was in for some cuteness...but dang...not THAT much cuteness! I'm not even being biased. You're the cutest newborn I've ever seen. I held you and then you started to spit up and make gagging sounds. Naturally I dropped you on the head (haha just joking), no I passed you off to your grandmother who made you burp like asap. The nurses came in to show your mom how to breastfeed and you did good. lil sucker you. Anyway, I left after 3 hours and I probably won't see you till the weekend. I don't want to be all up in your mother's grill when she gets home. I'll bring Lauryn, Leeana and Uncle Lee to see you Saturday. Hopefully, you make Lee feel to have 4 of you! Eh!? Anywho, I'll be documenting your life sporadically on this blog because your mother refuses to get a blog of her own.
Love you and welcome to the fandamily. I'll be the one showing you the ropes!

My Valentine
My Valentine is sweet.
My Valentine gives the best hugs.
My Valentine is funny.
My Valentine is silly.
My Valentine is always in a good mood.
My Valentine has the cutest smile.
My Valentine folds the clothes.
My Valentine does not let me think my way is always the right way.
My Valentine does not put up with my unreasonable attitude.
My Valentine does not always record my shows.
My Valentine does not always like to shave.
My Valentine does not want to have 4 kids.
But after 6 years, everyday still feels like Valentines Day to me and for that I could not ask for more!

My Baby Is Here!
Yes, she's mine. Marsha just surrogated for me, but the child is mine. She made her arrival today (Monday 13th February) around 6 am. Not too sure of the exact time yet. Lee & I went to see Marsha yesterday at the hospital, which is tighter than Ft. Knox to get into may I note. She had her epidural before we got there and her water broke too and I was sure she would have delivered sometime during the night. But it wasn't till early Monday morning. I have many questions for her about the pain, the experience, and the gory details. These things interest me. Must be prepared for my 4children. I have a picture, but I won't post it. If you're reading this blog, you probably saw her anyway! I'm going to check her on my way home. Seems like she was pregnant FOREVER and it blows my mind that there's an actual human being out of her now. Can't think about it too long.

The Cookies are Here
Yesterday was my first Cookie Distribution day. That's when all the troops line up to get their cookies. Sounds easier than it really is, but it involves alot of paperwork and hard labor. We were there from 8 am - 5 pm keeping the process going. Today I'm dealing with alot of mis-orders; too many of this box, not enough of this box, wet boxes, ants in boxes. SHEESH! I have a list going called "What Not To do Next Year." There's definitely a learning curve in this volunteer role but I'm happier not getting paid for this work, than my actual paying job. Go figure. The pics aren't much to see, but it givs perspective on how many cars and cookies we had. There went through 4 trailers of cookies!

Lisa's Visit
My house was full this weekend. Lisa, her husband Andre & my second cousin Ariel were in town visiting. It was good having them, catching up on the good times, and spending time with them. We went downtown Disney Saturday and did the usual tourist bit but spent most of the time home, cooking and feeding. Their time with us was short but definitely sweet.
Just remebered a funny story. Wasn't funny then, but pretty memorable! We were in the car on the way home and the baby started to cry. Actually, more like SCREAM her head off. We were like, awwww baby tired..go sleep baby. Lisa goes to pick her up out the car seat to rock her and I duuno what hit us first..the smell or Lauryn shrieking, OH MY GOSH THERE'S POOP EVERYWHEREEEE! The child had a blow out. Literally. We had to go in a parking lot, strip all her clothes and wash her down with bottles of water while she bawled. Quite a scene. There was poop everywhere. Down her leg, in the car seat buckle, on her belly. I went home and popped a birth control pill in case that adventure didn't do it!
