HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my niece, MARISA!

Wishing you a fantastic birthday! Hope you get lots of hugs, kisses, and presents!
I love you!

Also HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Ed & Sue!

Today was a nice quiet day. Ashlyn is happy to be back with her toys and to be able to crawl around wherever she wants. My parents' place wasn't very baby-safe. Ashlyn got into their wine/liquor rack pretty often and always grabbed for the Chivas. =/
I just spent the day going through the big pile of mail, a few loads of laundry, cleaned out Ashlyn's closet, and made a few phone calls.

While I was gone, Aric built a super-fast computer for me. *YAY!* Unfortunately, nothing was installed on it...so I couldn't upload pictures from my visit, nor could I work on the webpage. But I checked email (which was ridiculously blown up) and played a few games on the new computer. It's pretty dope! =)

Aric and I were still feeling tired from the eventful weekend. We were pretty unmotivated to do anything after dinner and just watched TV -"Smallville", the news, and "Gladiator". Watching the news is really depressing. Not sure if it's always been this way or if I'm just beginning to take notice, but there seems to be a rise in kidnappings lately. It's really scary. =(

Sorry...no pictures of Ashlyn today. I forgot to charge my camera battery last night...not to mention, no more space on my Compact Flash.
