the inevitable

apparently the website didn't work out so well so i have succumbed to blogging. a blog is just much easier to update compared to a website and because the website was free, there are far too many limitations. plus, we all know how much i like to talk, so this will be much more inviting to my personality. i can talk away and people only have to "listen" if they want. i guess i knew eventually i would have a blog, i just didn't want to copy everyone else... nonetheless... here is clara at about 4.5 months. dang! she is pretty cute. it is getting more and more easy to make her smile. when she isn't tired or hungry and as long as mom is within a few inches, she is quite a happy baby. as of yesterday, 5.7.07, she has decided life as a baby is getting boring, so she now rolls from her tummy to her back. she is much better at her trick when she is mad. the first time she did it, i wasn't watching. i heard her cry, looked over the couch and saw her off her blanket on her tummy. man, life just gets more and more exciting all the time. gone are the days of leaving her on the bed or close to other things. her other fun trick, which she does regardless of her mood, is to kick both legs up as high as she can and slam them down on whatever is in there way... me, the computer, the floor... it doesn't matter what, she enjoys the motion. i got a little bit of it on video, which is pretty funny. meanwhile... jason has his last final of the semester tomorrow and then will have just a few weeks before summer school starts up. i'm just looking forward to next year when he graduates. we'll see if he is around more like he says he will. angela is graduating from asu on friday, from the college of design, so i am looking forward to going to that. she is, i must admit, just a hair smarter than i, so i like to brag about her. her and her friend are starting their own graphic design business, so let me know if you need a graphic designer! she is fantastic. oh, i almost forgot: the NEWEST thing in my life: I CUT MY HAIR. i was getting nervous just before the chop... probably because i was realizing the last time i got my hair cut by someone other than my mom and something other than a simple trim was SEVEN years ago in san diego. the only reason i did it was because saleah made my appointment and then drove me to the salon. and that, to my knowledge, was only the second time ever getting a hair cut by someone other than my mom. so, good news for my mom: she can retire as my hair stylist. i am sure i will have some pictures from the graduation to post so everyone can see the new me. don't let me kid you, it's not anything drastic, just a little shorter.
