June 7, 2011: Brian is in Germany for business and he took the camera so I haven't been able to take pictures but I decided I can still portray my life by borrowing other people's pictures. I've been exhausted and lonely this week so tonight I was browsing through my netflix instant options and saw the first season of MacGyver. I decided that was sufficiently comforting so I picked it to watch.

Despite the fact that the pilot episode aired in 1985, I still love that show. My favorite part of the pilot episode is that he's wearing the blue & green plaid shirt (as shown above) as he goes into an underground secret lab to save some people who were trapped in an explosion. He ends up ripping his plaid shirt to cover his face and his episodal love interest's face (that he just met moments before) in order to combat the poisonous gas they were about to run through. Then, at the end of the episode, he's playing basketball with his 'big brother' kid and he's wearing the exact same shirt. I don't know why, but that warms my heart.

Here's how much I loved MacGyver growing up: in gym class when we had to do pull-ups for the Presidential Fitness Test, I used to picture MacGyver at the top of the bar to try and motivate my muscles to pull me up there. I also found a cassette tape that I recorded of myself singing, "MacGyverrrrrr, I loveeee youuuuuuu. I wish you were my mommyyyyyyy". Please don't over psycho-analyze that... I was like 6 yrs old and that was the best way I could come up with to express my love for him. Anywho, I love MacGyver.

Jaime Needs...

so i heard about this thing going around the blog world where you go to 'google' and type in your name followed by the word 'needs', example: "Jaime Needs" and see what comes up...i decided i wanted to join the bandwagon because, well, it made me chuckle...plus, it's nice to know what all the other Jaime's of the world need; or at least what their friends writing about them think they need. now, without further adieu, here is my list (i especially like #6): 1. Jaime needs the swim of her life 2. Jaime needs to grow up and stop making those horrible faces 3. Jaime needs someone to talk to 4. Jaime needs a witness who saw the large UFO over Mexico City 5. Jaime needs some ice cream 6. Jaime needs your help growing all season long 7. Jaime needs a safe play area 8. Jaime needs to uncover the truth about Helena's death 9. Jaime needs a break 10. Jaime needs a blog 11. Jaime needs both her father and her grandfather

Dude, 2022 was Intense

I can’t believe it’s already May. Pretend it's still January and I'm on top of things. 😬 Every January I do a reflection post on the previous year, but this time around I just couldn’t fathom wrapping 2022 up in a succinct little package of ‘here is what I learned and how I grew’. Instead, I felt more inclined to map out the timeline of our second adoption and how I learned and grew throughout that process. So, this is the story about our big life event that occurred early spring 2022, when we met Bennet. It’s going to be long because I want to preserve the details for myself, before my mom-brain confiscates them and hides them in some back-brain drawer that I’ll never find again, the same place it stored my ability to remember what I did or said 14 minutes ago. Here’s the TLDR (“Too Long Didn’t Read”) synopsis for those who don’t care about details: after 1 year and 3 months of process, we were chosen to parent a second child in March 2022… and then things went sideways for a

February 16, 2011: I call this one "Life is not fair". I have been summonsed twice since living in Westminster so when I saw this in the mailbox my heart sunk...until I saw BRIAN'S name on it! Yay! When he came home I was all giddy when I showed it to him and said, "It's about time!" Turns out his court date is March 28th and we'll be in Vegas for my 30th birthday. How does he always get off so easy?! Life is not fair in this house. Humph.
