Vacation is good. We just got back from visiting the in-laws in North Carolina and boy was it hot and by hot I mean at least 90 each day. It even got to 110 on Saturday and the AC decided to break that day as well but that was our last day. Anakin, Amidala and I all had such a good time and Amidala loved spending time with her grandparents and I'm sure they did as well. We found out our little girl is like a fish and loves loves loves to swim. So much so that she was putting her own face in the water by the end!!
Anyways, I didn't feel like blogging while on vacation and didn't have the time either because Amidala kept 4 adults running around. I did manage to get some of my 101 in 1001 done so that was good. So here are the updates.
#78. I finally made something that wasn't four sided. I made a flour to accent a hat for Amidala. I am also working on two hats currently, one for Amidala and one for the hospital.
#9. This is still in progress, Amidala likes to get her face wet and kicks in the water so hopefully we can do some classes this winter/spring coming up to help her out more.
#38. I tried two new wines while on vacation. One was a mixed pinot gris and a reilsing. It was very tatsy, a little tangy but so so good. I also tried a Sweet wine, which by it's name you can guess is sweet, it's a blush wine which I do enjoy as well.
#72. Anakin and I got to go on a date while we were there as well. We went to dinner and saw Inception, which was a great movie. It was fun to go out together but also good to go back and see our little princess.
#30. Amidala had her first play date before we left. We drove up to Meuthen to see Katie and her little boy. Katie is a friend of mine from college and we met when we pledged our sorority. Amidala had a lot of fun and we can't wait to see them again!
Thanks for catching the update!

101 in 1001 update
Hi All,
Sorry for the lacking blog post, or none at all for a few weeks here. I've been busy working on my list as well as trying to keep Amidala out of trouble (she's crawling and starting to stand now). Anyways here is the update.
#19. I last cut my hair in January and I have decide not to cut it again, aside from trimming my bangs, until it is long enough to donate it locks of love. I've always wanted to do this but my hairs gets about mid back and I chop it off. So this time I will try very very hard to not cut it, plus I've never had super long hair.
#6. I have completed a blanket to donate to Sturdy Memorial Hospital.I did a new stitch that I learned by myself, the fan stitch. I need to make the hat still but I have never made anything that is not a blanket so I'm going to have my MIL help me when we visit.
#26. On Tuesday night since I had no TV to watch since it's summer and there is nothing on, I took an hour and entered all of the address from our address book as well as the lists from our wedding and the baby shower. Now all of our address are in one central place. A boring task but now it's done and Christmas cards will be so much easier to send out this year.
#54 and #55. On fathers' day I made Anakin dinner since it's his day he just got to hang out with the princess and I cooked. We had mac an cheese with chicken from a recipe I found online and I just added chicken to it. I modified the recipe as we did not have heavy cream or sour cream so I just put milk and a ton of cheese.
#38. I tired one new wine a Savigon Blanc, which I've never had, I usually stick to reisling or a beer so I had this one because a friend brought the bottle over and left it. While I didn't not like it, it was a little dry for my taste but at least I finished my glass.
#76. We are taking a family trip to visit some family. I have put a lot of time into planning so we don't forget anything and if we do I'm sure we can but it there as there will be stores.
#84. On Wednesday I finally finished a crossword puzzle without cheating and looking up the answers. I ususally do one during my lunch as a way to destress and just get my mind off of work for about 30 minutes.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my update!!! Hopefully I will be getting a new layout soon so keep checking to see it.
