A Make-Up Post: Part 1

Because I haven't blogged in exactly one month, this may very well be the longest post in the history of the world. Prepare yourself.

Work is going well and getting crazy for the Christmas season. I have an assistant this year, her name is Melissa, and she is thebomb.com. I am so appreciative of her. We have hired 6 extra staff to help out for the next two months and they are all proving to be such great workers. So, I am feeling A LOT better about this season. This summer I was extremely nervous and afraid of what might happen to my body this year. (Last year I was on bed rest for a week!) But I now know that I won't have to work 16 hour days. I can have normal 10 hours days instead!

I am currently reading "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky. I'm only about 50 pages in and enjoying it. The crime has happened and I'm awaiting the punishment.

Dustin and I are hanging with Devin and Larissa tonight and playing Settlers of Cataan, our new favorite game. John and Taryn, have you guys discovered this game? I think you would love it. It's the new Texas Hold-em. (Watch for Celebrity Settlers of Cataan!)

Last night Dustin and I watched "Reign Over Me" as recommended by Tara and Tarver. Wow, wow. I don't know what to say except wow. Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle were amazing. I highly recommend it although bring tissues because it is a tear jerker. It's about a man, Adam Sandler, who loses his wife and 3 girls in one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center towers and how he hasn't dealt with the tragedy except by remodeling his kitchen constantly and trying to not remember anything about his family. After the movie, I couldn't stop tears from falling, it was just a constant flow. I tried to talk to Dustin about something else, but tears just kept running down my cheeks. This movie portrays the 9/11 tragedy in a way that I haven't seen or understood until now. So many of us simply move on. But what about those families who lost husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, children etc. How are they dealing with it? I think this movie, rather than the 9/11 movie, is more appropriate for our nation to see. In my opinion, we don't need to see and relive the gruesome details, but we do need to understand how to help those whose lives were changed forever.


I got my hair cut a couple weeks ago from Tara. She did a GREAT job! My inspiration was Katie Holmes-Cruise. Dustin now calls me tomcat...for a variety of reasons...heheheheh. We're almost identical, don't you think? =)






















Last week Dustin and I visited the Portland Zoo. My parents had got Dustin tickets last Christmas and they were expiring this week, so I snuck out of work early for an afternoon of elephants, bears, giraffes, zebras and the like.

A mountain goat, a HUGE polar bear and a lizard shedding its skin, so crazy!





























This monkey was sleeping so peacefully on a branch by the window. It looked so beautiful with its long tail and contrast of black and white hair. This is Dustin on a tri-cycle that elephants ride in the circus. heheheheheh.



































This summer our house was painted. Instead of being a pretty soft yellow, we now live in a Poop colored house. It might be hard to tell from these pictures, but believe me when I say this color shouldn't even exist. We did, however, get an orange door, so I can't be too upset, right?
