Good afternoon. Hopefully everyone survived the holiday and no one had a visit from a little kid who, because he was too cheap to come up with anything else, decided to bang on a drum in front of a sleeping infant.
Hey kid - You know what a baby *does not* want for Christmas? You banging that thing in his ear!!! :)

My two best Xmas presents.
Blake got me the pink & white Leafs jersey (I got him a Leafs home jersey - both from Wal*Mart) and Madison MADE me a pair of pajama pants. She followed the pattern and made them (almost ) entirely by herself and she actually did a pretty wicked job. I'm impressed!
Anyway, I cut my face out of the picture because I'm still sick, I have a giant zit and I look like crap.
My mom was supposed to be here at 1pm, but I got an e-mail from her at 1:38pm saying that she was JUST leaving. If you knew my mother, you would know how typical this is.
Anyway, Xmas round 2 is about to happen...

I've read that walkers can delay developmental milestones such as walking. Don't ask me where, because I don't remember. It's possible I made up the memory entirely.
Anyway, while pregnant, I was thinking of not using one because of the delayed development thing. Now that I have a 2-month old that hates lying down and wants to be held 24/7, I'm wondering if she would enjoy something like this in a few more months:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LY
I like that it doesn't let her wander the floor.
I already bought her a bouncer for xmas...but think she may need another month before she can hold herself up enough to be comfortable! The bouncer is below:

Any thoughts/stories/opinions on walkers?

We received our secret santa gift from lumpyhead. Oy, our orange male, Cassie, our grey female and Skeeter, our brown tabby would like to say thank you. They love their new toys. There was even something for our senegal bird, ET! He felt special and loves the treat boxes!
Thank you lumpyhead and family, Merry Christmas!

I feel as though I have a stack of catching up to do on my blog right now. I guess with Christmas and my little trip away I’ve just been too consumed in other stuff to have kept this thing updated!
I have a bunch of 101 list updates to write, but before time gets away from me any further I wanted to write about those two little kids in the photo up there – cousin Trisha and I.
(I guess I always knew that one day I would end up posting topless pictures of myself on my blog, sorry for dragging you down with me T!)
I have no idea what’s going on in this picture…
My little cuz became a Mrs two weeks ago, and tonight I went through the photos for the first time. Here are a few cute shots of us getting ready, and her final few hours as a single lady!
Corinne, my co-bridesmaid, and her awesome lion mane!
Trisha was too busy laughing at us to strike a pose
The bridesmaids
My pretty ‘do
Bridey’s pretty hairstyle
It’s Chanel, dahling.

Using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered two distinct kinds of "rejuvenated" stars in the globular cluster Messier 30. A new study shows that both stellar collisions and a process sometimes called vampirism are behind this cosmic "face lift." The scientists also uncover evidence that both sorts of blue stragglers were produced during a critical dynamical event (known as "core collapse") that occurred in Messier 30 a few billion years ago.
Researchers are one step closer to developing a vaccine against the AIDS disease. They have found that a rabies virus-based vaccine administered to monkeys protected against the simian equivalent of the HIV virus (SIV).
Dark spots on flower petals are common across many angiosperm plant families and occur on flowers such as some lilies, orchids, and daisies. Much research has been done on the physiological and behavioral mechanisms for how these spots attract pollinators. But have you ever wondered what these spots are composed of, how they develop, or how they only appear on some but not all of the ray florets?
Increased physical activity appears to be associated with a lower risk of cancer-specific and overall death in men with a history of colorectal cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body, according to a new study.
A new optical sensor was successfully tested in the "magnetically best shielded room on Earth." The sensor does not need advanced cooling and is very small. Its suitability was proven for biomagnetic measurements in the picotesla range. So, magnetocardiographic measurement devices -- to be used as a supplement or an alternative to the ECG -- could become simpler and less expensive.
Half of urban teenage girls may acquire at least one of three common sexually transmitted infections within two years of becoming sexually active, according to a new study.
Going back for a second dessert after your holiday meal might not be the best strategy for living a long, cancer-free life say researchers. That's because they've shown exactly how restricted calorie diets -- specifically in the form of restricted glucose -- help human cells live longer.
Genomic switches can predispose an individual to one set of autoimmune disorders but protect the same person against another set of them, scientists have found.
The 40,000 'eco-tourists' who visit the South Pole every year cause enormous greenhouse gas emissions. The visitors to the snow-covered landmass are endangering not just the Antarctic region by their actions, but also the rest of the world. Scientists have investigated the impacts of increased tourism on Antarctica and how this impact could be curbed.
Blood pressure is controlled in part by changes in the radius of blood vessels; when the smooth muscle cells in the wall of a blood vessel contract, the radius of the blood vessel decreases and blood pressure increases. Researchers have now identified in mice a new signaling pathway that contributes to relaxation of smooth muscle cells in blood vessel walls triggered by the molecule NO and thereby decreases blood pressure.
Genes that don't themselves directly affect the inherited characteristics of an organism but leave them increasingly open to variation may be a significant driving force of evolution, say scientists.
Whether it's doing sit-ups or eating steamed veggies instead of fries, it's often difficult to get ourselves to do something we know is beneficial. A new study says we can trick ourselves into more favorable evaluations of certain products and behaviors.
