It’s been the best day! I just haven’t been able to quit smiling, ever since Julie called me with the BEST NEWS EVER this morning.
You might remember her, the girl I celebrated my birthday with? And go gallery crawling with? And party in style with? Yeah that girl. The yin to my yang, the big sister I never had?
Mama D’s little sister?
Ha, bet ya didn’t know THAT ONE!
Anyway Julie, my lovely big sister/aunt/friend called me today to let me know she is PREGNANT! With her first little munchkin!
I screamed.
Really loud.
And then I tweeted.
Because I love babies.
So long as I am not the one giving birth, that is.
Because then I would be scared.
And cry probably.
But someone else?
Then. Oh, then I am excited.
So congrats Julie, the big sister I never had, gallery crawl buddy and fabulous artist in your own right.
I love you.
Ok, dry those tears.
I had an apple for a snack today!
Plus cinnamon. And nuts. [twss]
And then I worked. Worked through my smiles.
Worked late.
Mainly because I was chatting with my bosses wife. She is adorable, and I love her! I know, I’m so lucky.
I was also lucky to have this dinner.
I was lucky to find tofu in the fridge and bake it up.
425 degrees for 25 minutes!
I was lucky to find these peas in the freezer and microwave them.
Water, salt and 2.5 minutes!
I was lucky to find this pasta in my bedroom [don’t ask!] and boil it.
Hot water, salt and boil until al denté or tender, whichever you prefer!
I was lucky that Mama D. was stewing some of those apples that are still coming out our ears from our mountain trip.
I’m a lucky girl. Very lucky, indeed.
PS: Head over to Katie’s blog and check out her very special chocolate covered November challenge!
Your dinner looks amazing! I`m 100% jealous. I had KFC (so not good for me).
Congrats on the good news! That is exciting!
congrats auntie julie! that is happy, amazing news!
That is so awesome and fun!!! I love when people are having babies. Just found out I’m going to be an aunt for the second time, today. Baby news all around!
Awww congrats to your friend, it IS exciting news! I always love finding out friends are pregnant.
Ahhh I am teary eyed now…I feel honored to receive nearly an entire post! lol Love you!
Aww 🙂 Yay! I remember how happy I was when my sis called to tell me about her first pregnancy!!
AWww, congrats to your friend. This is the best news in the world. It turns any day into a fabulous one! 🙂
I share your love for babies that aren’t mine and pasta with peas.
congrats to your friend 🙂
also, i keep seeing people using the letters “twss” in posts, and i was like, wtf is that?! so i finally looked it up. THAT”S WHAT SHE SAID!!!! hahaha, duh. I LOVE that phrase.
anyway, those nuts looks good. (twss)
Congrats to your friend!! I have a feeling that baby is going to be SPOILED by a certain blogger 😉
How great for your friend.. You will have to plan a shower!!!
Your tofu looks fab.. yum 😉
Congrats to Julie!
I feel the sameway about babies though. I am so excited for other people to have them (my sister in law is pregnant and I can wait to go shopping for the baby), but I think it is terrifying to have one myself. Yikes!
My hubby has been wanting to try tofu and I have been really hesitant. Do you season it with anything before you bake it?
congrats to your friend! very exciting news. although, i am completely agreed on the not-being-even-close-to-ready for that comment. i think i need a good ten years!
Congrats to your friend, so exciting!
Pasta in your bedroom? I think you need to explain that one!
Congrats to her! That’s awesome 🙂
your tofu dinner looks delicious! LOVE tofu

Thank you so so much, Whit! I can’t tell you how much your compassion means to me (and the people who will be helped by generous souls such as yourself). You truly are amazing
