Today I'm still not sure how I feel about the new colors. Sometimes I really love the blue and blue. Why you ask? You guessed it, Kappa Kappa Gamma - that's what I ama! (So many of you are rolling your eyes at me right now, but I gotta give a shout out to my sistas. Are you out there sistas?) I digress. What am I even talking about right now? The template. Right. Blue and blue. Love that. The burning that my eyes sometimes feel after looking at the new background. Don't love that. We'll see how it goes.
I can't really think of an adequate transitional statement here, so on a completely different note, my friend Julie had her baby yesterday. Julie's a CL specialist that works with me, so when I got off work at 12, my friend Heather and I went over to see her at big Baylor since it's just across the street. How do I describe Julie? Picture the happiest, smiliest person you know and double it. That's Julie. (Actually that's every CLS that works with me. Hmmmm. A pattern. Interesting.) This is Julie's second baby. For the first, she had a perfect, smily pregnancy and pretty good delivery (well as good as they get), so for the second we thought she had it coming. Guess what? Same thing. Happy and smily the entire way through. When Heather and I got into the room, Julie jumped up and hugged us. Heather and I had the same response. WHAT are you doing? and more importantly HOW are you doing it?!! We could both barely even move after giving birth. And Julie didn't have a small baby. We're talking over 8 pounds here.
This got me to thinking that maybe Julie didn't have the 2 best pregnancies and deliveries of all time. Maybe I'm just a complete baby. And for one second I felt this urge to toughen up. Then I realized I am who I am. And when I hurt, I hurt. Physical pain is not my thing. So people like Julie are true inspirations to me. I am in awe of a woman who can push out an 8+ pound baby without one single tear (okay I realize you can read this 2 ways - I mean tear as in like a rip, not tear as in water coming out of your eyes. . . but either interpretation works here) and jump to her feet the next day. This is what I'll be striving for the next time you see me like this...
Well that and less swelling.

For some reason Vanesa is very excited about your new background. She just came and got me out of the bathroom to come look at it. She checks your blog like every day, it is so cute.

You crack me up and I do like your new background and the B-Day countdown. I'm looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.
