How did it become December already?
Fall felt like it was just here…but with a few cold wet weeks, it is now winter. I’m literally sitting in my office wearing a huge down parka coat sipping chai. The past few weeks have been a blur between going off to Vegas once again for Thanksgiving and then Matt’s parents visiting the following weekend. It’s always nice to have an opportunity to see family, and for Natalie to hang out with them all. We were in Vegas for a week and, once again, it was mostly chill time and eating Chinese food. We hit the strip only twice—once to go to Circus Circus for Natalie and the second…

october random updates
Windows Phone 8 ships! We finally RTM’d and had our ship party at work which involved derby car races, Sir Mix-a-lot and a last minute flash mob to Gangnam Style (Natalie’s FAVORITE song right now) organized by yours truly. I will never forget giving a private dance lesson to my VP on how to dance like a horse to Gangnam style, hilarious. I dressed our team up to be the entire gang of Avengers which was also quite fun – the whole thing took up a ton of time but c’est la vie right? Natalie’s obsessions I didn’t want to forget the things that Natalie’s really into now, so here…

iPad love
Thanks to my wonderful husband, I’m now an iPad owner. It’s funny, when this first came out, I laughed. I thought it was ridiculous. It looked like one giant iPhone (which it essentially is) and I thought it was the dumbest thing. I had no idea why anyone would spend the money on this when they could buy a decent laptop for the same price. Fast forward to 4am on any given random night in the month of May while I’m sitting in the nursery breastfeeding Natalie and fumbling with one hand to maneuver my laptop so that I could do something to prevent myself from falling asleep. I thought…

Catching up on this last month
Oh dear — how did a month go by already and I’ve missed out on updating this blog. Terrible.  I’ll try to be more frequent, especially in this last month of pregnancy. Well, since the last post, one of the more exciting things that happened was my baby shower!!! Phoebe, Asayo and Jigna were kind enough to organize a shower for me on a beautiful Saturday at the end of February with the theme of “tea time”. There was a good turnout and the games were all thoughtful and not cheesy or gross. (thank goodness they didn’t do the “smell the diaper” game) We feel incredibly blessed with the generous gifts…

Thoughts on the HTC Hero
I wrote this over a month ago and never published it…for sake of getting it out, here it is…————————-I recently had to get a new phone because of work—or moreso, I could no longer use my work number as my primary number. Fortunately, I still kept the same number that I’ve had for 10 years; however, with it now being my primary number, it got me interested in checking out a non Windows Mobile device for the sake of just being familiar with what else is out there. I’m in a contract with T-Mobile so that limited my choice of phones. I at first decided to go with the MyTouch…
