Post from April 14th -
I feel like I only post here when I've made a new playlist. But in all honesty, I just haven't been awake enough to really have anything new to say. I worked a lot, ran a wedding, worked some more, became an Aunt, and now I'm just trying to take it slow so I can recover. It's been a whirlwind few weeks. But I was inspired to make a new mix after starting to re-watch the first season of Fringe. The dynamic between the two main characters (Peter and Olivia) is very push-pull and so a lot of emotion is conveyed through looks more than through words and actions. It makes it seem a little sad, but it's not supposed to be. So this is a little (a lot) more laid back than the last few, but it's the kind of mood I'm in right now. Just...chill. It's a good kind of mood, I think. No worries, no rushing, no nothing. I'm just laying here, relaxing. It's a good feeling. I'm just gonna ride the wave for a while. Still got a few things coming up, but if I conserve my energy, it won't be too hard to get through. And now to the music!

Find A Way by The Used was actually the song that Heather (the new Mrs. Beck) and her grandfather danced to for the father-daughter dance at her wedding. It was very nice and definitely unique in terms of traditional wedding songs. It was lovely. As was the rest of the wedding. The weather was awesome, I somehow pulled all of the chaos that is Aaron and Heather into a decent calm just long enough for them to marry without a hitch. Just the usual comedic moments and such. I'm glad it's over, but it was a lot of fun when it happened.
And the baby! 32 or so hours of labor and WAY too many visitors later, Jay had little Roslyn a couple days ago. (Pic and stats below) I didn't get a whole lot of sleep and darned it all that I spent 13 hours in the Labor and Delivery unit just for the baby to arrive two hours after I had to leave for work. Already ornery and stubborn...just like her parents. She's gonna give them hell, and I'll be cheering her on the whole way. ;)
Well, my new mix is slowly lulling me into a stupor, so I think I'll leave it here for now and maybe I'll come back before too long with something else to say. Night for now.
