Blogger Beta, New Slide Show, and Catch Up Blog reading.

So first things first....who has switched over to the new blogger...especially now that they are supposedly done with the beta version!!! Hmmm yeah right!!! LOL

Can I get some feedback...like I LOVE IT, or I HATE IT...hmm maybe I should do a poll!!!

Oh yeah before I forget...I created a new slide show "at the top of this blog" with all my pics from December. I lost ALL my pics from November because our stupid old as heck digital camera finally said goodbye and took my November pictures with it.

But all is not lost...I got this Casio EX-Z60 Digital Camera for Christmas from Big C...man is this thing tiny. My Treo 700 is bigger than my camera...it's like the size of an ipod or something. I also got a Bluetooth headset for my treo 700 and some perfume...but for the life of me I can't remember the name and I'd feel like a complete insensitive idiot if I called big C to ask him the name of it. But boy do I want to!!!

We had a one year anniversary a few days ago (yes that means we got married just in time to make our daughter a baby born in wedlock for all your religious fanatics out there!). We went to the Grand Lux Cafe, the same place our wedding group went to eat after we got married last year. Have you been to the Grand Lux before? This is how the front looks. I have no idea why it's called a Cafe, because it's not like any cafe I've ever been to! Apparently it's modeled on the concept's of The Venetian Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The inside can take your breath away and the food is very good, I believe it's owned or operated or something like that, by the same people that own, operate or something like that Cheesecake Factory, to give you some idea. For big C I got him something he "wanted" as opposed to something traditional, I think one year of marriage is supposed to be something to do with paper. I couldn't think of anything to do with paper that would be a good gift except money, and as I'm short on that!!! I went with a Casio Disc Title Printer
which he said he really likes but he hasn't even used it yet. But the 30GB ipod video I got him for Christmas he used straight away. Hmm what does that tell me?

Anyway for our anniversary he got me this Tiffany's bracelet that I had wanted for some time now. But alas my fat wrist is too big for it...so I have to get it adjusted before I can wear it. Oh and wouldn't you know I had a necklace that kind of matched it but the balls were smaller (go figure) and the same day I got the bracelet baby C broke the necklace. So guess who NOW needs the matching Tiffany necklace! Yes that would be me...thanks.

Here are some pics the anniversary dinner:







Ok off to go and feed the little one, then do some major catch up blog reading..I can't wait!!....oh did you hear a second season of "The Hills" is coming back to MTV. Hold on...did I really just admit that I watch that show? Heck yeah I did...and proud of it! I love living out cali girl fantasies of living in a fat condo and working a part time job and having mommy and daddy pay my rent don't you???? LOL Later!

  7. Loooooove the pics. Soooo cute. Man really good gift sharing over there. Happy Anniversary and Holiday season. How was baby C's first Christmas?
    The Grand Lux in Beverly Hills is awesome, but it's connected to the Beverly Center (mall) so it doesn't look as gorgeous as the one there. We got engaged there. I loooove the place...man you got me thinking about those binet's they are so goooooood.

  9. Ok, I have my first comment about the "NEW" Blogger. First of all, I upgraded accidentally. I hate when that happens. One click of the wrong button, and it's done...SHOOT!!!
    Anyway, I haven't really used it too much yet, other than just reading. But I did notice that most of my comments that I would normally see who the people are, are now show up as anonymous. I don't like that!
    However, the new interface isn't too bad. You now don't have to go through 2 screens to view your blog or create a new post.
    That's all I see for now. I'll keep you posted.

  11. Hello! I am finally back to the land of the living...almost! This virus was a mean one. Sounds like you guys had a great Christmas and Anniversary! What great shots of you all too! Baby c... so stinking cute!I did the blogger switch, and so far I am happy. I think its a pain that I have to retype all my info on some blogs comments now though. I do like that it uploads photos much faster.I am wondering if typepad is that much better?I see so many people switching to it...???
