26 Clips and counting

If you were wondering where I've (Danica) been and what happened to all those riveting Yuba City posts, you must not live in Southern California. Although my dad did ask me why there were no new blog posts, and I was staying in his house. I told him to take a mental picture of me and insert a few details of what I had done that day and that seemed to solve it.

I was down there for about 5 wonderful days (oh So Cal, land of my birth, and of great wonderful things like the beach and family and friends-not necessarily in that order!). On Sunday we had a baby shower for the little guy, (more about that later) and it was so great to catch up with friends even though the time went by super fast.

While I was there, I judged the public response to be favorable to my paper-clip measuring system, since you all seemed to be riveted by what my new measurement was. So to give the people what they want.....drumroll please...today Feb. 24, I am at 26 paperclips.

Although I have found this system to be highly inaccurate (you will see from the picture below that I am truly larger) it makes me feel better about getting enormous when I am really only 2 paperclips bigger. Perhaps I should refine the system and start measuring with the little clips instead of standard business size ones.
