Yay Conan
Last night, we got a chance to watch Conan O’Brien live at McCaw Hall and it was a great show! We’ve always been huge fans of his show and we didn’t blink an eye when we heard he was coming to Seattle. He had a number of his classics, though revamped since there are legal questions regarding the exact ownership of these concepts — including the “Self Pleasuring Panda” and the “Chuck Norris Rural Policeman Handle” (those of you that know the originals should get the references easily) plus Andy Richter and Triumph the Insult Comic dog. It was an added bonus the fact that it also happened to be…

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.

Matt’s 40th
My husband recently turned 40. It’s funny, we were both saying that when we were kids, 40 sounded soooooo old. It seems like nothing now! Anyway, we just had to celebrate in style a la Sousa….so I rented out the Penthouse Suite at the Hotel Sorrento and invited his friends to enjoy the evening with us. Unfortunately, with me planning this after returning from the holidays, I was a bit late in getting the invitation out and a number of good, close friends weren’t able to make it….but we still had a great turnout, so thank YOU to everyone who was able to make it. It was a classy evening…
