Studio Tour.

As part of my birthday present, Jeff and his parents together got us tickets to tour Warner Brothers Studios. Ever since we moved out here, I wanted to do a studio tour because the guide books say that you should. I didn't realize how much I would really enjoy it.



One of the highlights was that I got to check an item off my imaginary bucket list and visit the fictional town of Stars Hollow, CT, from one of my favorite shows, Gilmore Girls. Here is the gazebo from the town square, slightly repainted now that another show is filming on this set.

 

Here is Dosie's Market, where Rory had her first kiss. Another show (called Heart of Dixie) now films here, so the signage is all different. I'm standing in front of Luke's Diner (!!) and even got to peek inside.

 
 

In addition to Gilmore Girls, a few other famous shows filmed here including: ER - this is the El stop that was located right by the hospital where so many of the scenes were filmed. And they still have the Central Perk set from Friends, and we even got to sit on the couch.
 
 
Lots of movies were filmed here and there were lots of famous costumes and props we got to see. Here is the batmobile. Sadly, we weren't allowed to take pictures of one of the other highlights - the studio museum where they had tons of costumes from famous movies and TV shows - like batman, smallville, Big Bang Theory, and a whole floor of Harry Potter costumes and props.
 

Jeff and I also had our first celebrity sighting at the studio when "Leonard" from The Big Bang theory drove up to his studio. Although this is definitely one of the most expensive things we've done since moving here, we both had a great time!

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
