so cute!
i witnessed her birth. in a way, it satisfied my wanting to have the vaginal birth that i didn't get to have. i felt like i was pushing and in pain. i swear, i almost passed out a dozen times. in any case, what a beautiful experience. i'm exhausted and i was just a spectator. i can't wait until my niece comes home. she and sophia are going to cause a ruckus.

menu planning for NYE '08.
i have so much to do and yet have still taken it upon myself to throw a small get together at my place for NYE. sophia has come down with a cold and it's best for her to be able to rest at home and in her crib.
i really want to make my own little gourmet pizzas. i can use pre-made crusts and throw some fresh mozzarella, garlic, pancetta, fresh tomatoes, and arugula on one, and mushrooms, caramelized onions, and gorgonzola cheese on another. target also has these amazing (yes, they're frozen. and easy. shut up.) spicy apricot hor d'oeuvres that are to die for. swear. i can also make mini tortillas espanolas by cooking little individual tortillas in a cupcake pan. maybe i shouldn't over do it and stick to that. but herb marinated goat cheese served inside radicchio leaves would be so tasty, though! oh well, the boys will be grilling on the balcony and i'm sure that someone will bring desert. the 12 grapes at midnight are a given.
must figure this out soon. i will consult with the hubster.

xmas '08.
i received 2 sets of 16 of the white, square corelle plates for xmas. (plus some other stuff...) 
they are simple, yet elegant and they make food look damn tasty.
aside from that, we received a copious amount of toys for sophia. (i quickly learned that once you have a child, you will pretty much only receive gifts for the wee one.)
in any case, i'm glad that i was able to spend the day with my daughter, husband, and the rest of the family. the plates were just a bonus ;)
now, what the hell is going on for new year's?
