AVON

I will admit having a baby causes you to get a bit out of touch with pretty much everything around you. LOL Sophia is growing up so fast and getting so big already. Staying at home with Sophia so far has been a blessing, but with all good things, they must come to an end. I started back to work from my maternity leave last Monday....sigh! I miss her terribly during the day but praise God that Dan wants to be a stay at home Dad. Not that Motherhood doesn't keep me busy enough as it is, I have rejoined the AVON company as an independent sales rep. A lot has changed with them since I rep-ed for them in the late 90's. I even have my own website www.YourAVON.com/PamelaLeBlanc. Take a minute to check it out. I just launched it. If you happen to be interested in any of the products feel free to order direct from the website ( I can tell you it is a lot faster than what I can do right now face to face with a 2 and 1/2 month old ha, ha). If you know anyone who would be interested in AVON products if you would be so kind to point them in the direction of my website, it would be appreciated. And for all of you who like tangible things (like myself) if you would like a paper copy of the catalogs, just let me know and I will mail them to you. Feel free to contact me via my website, by cell 818-399-0185 or through my AVON email address: AVNchick@yahoo.com.

Dr.'s & More Tests

I went to the Dr. last week and had a full female check up and an ultrasound down on my belly. I wanted to check to see how I was healing from the c-section since I still hurt on my left side and to check to see where we stood with those cancerous cells from before the pregnancy. Fast forward a week and I got the test results back...... all negative! Praise God!!! No cancerous cells, no biopsies to be done, the pap came out negative and although my left side still hurts, I have pretty much healed up from the c-section. I just still need to take it a bit easy as my left side is still sore (and stubborn for that matter LOL). Good news all around. I love it!

Star Wars

I surprised Sophia and Dan and took then to the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana. They were having a special exhibition on Star Wars. We got a chance to see the costumes, equipment, vehicles and a ton of models used in the making of all 6 Star Wars movies. Dan was surprised. He thought my little day trip idea was awesome and relly thoughtful. Here are some fun pics.

My Big Toe Fell Off (well sort of)

I was being an idiot and trying to multi task while holding Sophia the other day. All moms do it, I just dont do it very successfully yet. I was holding her and trying to put away my mini paper/photo cutter machine
(I used to do a lot of scrapbooking and a lot of photography and this little machine would allow me to cut down photos and paper clippings). This was one of my bad ideas. I was bare foot and of course I dropped the machine square on my right big toe. Youch!!!!! Well needless to say I cried and went hoping around the house like the Easter bunny, crying then laughing at myself in my sorry state then crying again because it hurt. My toe is now bluish black and it still hurts. That's smarts for ya'. I won't be doing anything like that again any time soon. LOL

Hello Kitty

OMG! I forgot how much I love Hello Kitty. My mom used to shop at the Sanrio store all the time and get us Hello Kitty and Keropi stuff. I was reminded of it all of a sudden when my mother-in-law bought Sophia a Hello Kitty beanie and matching booties recently. They were soooo cute I was a bit jealous. So I have gone off the deep end and have started buying a bunch of Hello Kitty stuff (video recorder, stationary, band aids, water bottles, etc.). Even looking for a Hello Kitty Easter basket for Sophia and I. I think I am even going to make her 1st b-day a Hello Kitty party. LOL Obsessed..... YES! Living vicariously through my daughter.......ABSOLUTELY!

Barlow Girl Concert- The Fish: Women's Night Out

Once a quarter my favorite Christian radio station has a Women's Night Out. It is part seminar part concert. This time my favorite Christian all girl rock band was playing Barlow Girl. The group is made up of 3 sisters of different ages, very much so like myself and my sisters and our ages. They are awesome! I love their edgy-ness and their rock sound. Gone are the days of the choir in a church. I have a couple of their CD's and I really enjoy their music so I thought I would go. I took my neighbor Nikki and we had a blast. We stayed after wards and they signed one of my album covers. It was super cool.

And where was my sweet Sophia you ask? At home with my wonderful Hubby. This was the first time I had been out on my own without Dan or Sophia for more than 3+ hours. It was nice to get out thanks to the hubby, but I really did miss them. Is it bad that I want to be a home body and just be home relaxing with my family all the time. It's like I have sophia-itis. LOL

One Happy Baby

I just couldn't help but post these photos to my blog. I took them quickly in succession and this is what I got. She is just so beautiful. I am so lucky.
