- I want to share a joke, but I’m afraid it’ll only be funny to me.
- My post editor is being a jerk.
- HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY. HAVE NO TIME.
- I have all the time in the world. I have nothing to say.
- I want to tell a story but my [family] [friend] [co-worker] reads this blog.
I don’t think there is a #bloggerproblem more frustrating for me, though, than not knowing where to start. Where do I start Internet? WHERE DO I START?
Fine: a list.
1.) Work is going amazingly well. I fall in love with this laid back, cheesy, wonderful and fun company a little more everyday and there is not one person that I hate! I know, say what? But, it’s true.
We had a company sponsored karaoke competition two weeks ago, and it was brilliant. I feel like I got to know everyone who sang without ever having to talk to them, which is a win all around. My new best friend is the guy from customer care who sang, “This is How We Do It” and then on Monday was wearing a shirt with Stephanie Tanner saying, “how rude!” on it.
He doesn’t know he’s my best friend yet.
2.) I was trying to be all responsible and I took my car to get a car wash. When it came back, it was squeaky clean and suddenly invaded by ants.
Never wash your cars.
3.) I came home from work the other day and my laptop had mysteriously died while I was away. I honest to goodness turned it on to find that I was recieving the manufacturer prompts and all my files were gone.
“But, Lorraine. Did you back your files up like every person living in 2012 should be doing?”
Shut up.
4.) I signed up for classes that start in a few weeks. Again. College forever!
5.) I feel like since my niece was all being born and stuff, I was a little late on the whole, “blogging about the Olympics” thing. Off the top of my head, though, I wanted you all to know that water polo is one of the sports I cannot enjoy, NBC's coverage sucks and that I've been compared to Gabby Douglas too many times. People are dumb.
6.) I’m vlogging every day in August! Or, at least I’m planning on it. I’m 6/6 so far which makes me want to reward myself with all the chocolate. I won’t be putting all my videos on the blog, so if you’re interested in a daily 3-4 minutes of total ridiculousness, please subscribe to my channel. To see a sample, and hear about how I plan to escape the zombie apocalypse, click below.
7.) Mae-fly is the most precious thing of all time. Which is the real reason for this post.
Penny offered to have portraits of Mae-fly done and put us in contact with one of her friends, Jamie of jamielauren studios.
You guys.
If you have ovaries, break out the tissues.
If you don’t have ovaries, be prepared to suddenly grow them:
Jamie seriously, seriously earns her nickname as the Baby Whisperer. If anyone is looking for newborn photography in south Florida, do yourself a favor and contact jamielauren studios. She isn't even paying me to say that, I just really recommend her services.
Feel free to like her page. She'll occasionally deposit the most adorable baby pictures of all time in your timeline and your days will be brighter.
Well, that's as many updates as I can remember. If you follow my vlogs, I'll see you tomorrow. If not, see you all Thursday.
I like all of your faces, but probably not as much as I like Mae's face.
I'm forgiven though, right?

You're forgiven. Though I won't forgive you for the monthly bleeding I'm going to have to endure now. She is absolutely adorable :) Every time I hear about your work I find it to be more and more fun too. It must be a really nice place to work.
She is so fricken cute Lor. I know your not the mom but as the Aunt you should totally take credit for her cuteness!
Also blogger problems FT... lose? Starting is the hardest part.
I love how you always vlog in your car. Why is this? Is it lunch break vlogging?
Your niece makes me want to have kids. Even though I don't want to have kids. But if I could put them in hats and baskets...maybe.
YAY for loving where you spend most of your life: work.
1. That karaoke sounds like so much fun, and I wish I could infiltrate. Seriously.
2. Ugh, universityyyyy. Makes sad.
3. Baby is adorable, and I want to come and snuggle her.
4. I like her pictures that aren't naked. I think this has something to do with retaining the awkward phobia I had of photographing naked babies when I was working as a photographer. I blame the parents who go into Sears Portraits. (PS: Tell your family never to go to one of those for anything, especially for cute baby pictures. Stick with the awesome/amazing/brilliant Baby Whisperer.)
she is just so chill about life. I love it! So cute.
You know I'm not a baby person but the owl/nest photo is unbearably cute. And the other one in that pink frilly thing, whatever that is! She looks like a teeny tiny ballerina!
I'm usually not a baby person either, honestly. But I have to love this one. It's a good thing she turned out to be pretty cute. :)
Those are over-sized pink frilly pants. Not sure how Jamie thought of that, but it looks cool!
She really is. She cried a couple of times, but mostly she just slept as Jamie bent her every which way! I was so proud of my little adorable alien. :)
My dad was NOT liking the naked pictures either. I think it weirded him out. You have a legit reason though, mostly because I like to think of you having a naked baby phobia. LOL.
You are always welcomed to come snuggle! With the baby, of course.... awkward...
It started way back when I did my first vlog ever. I wanted to vlog but was still anonymous and didn't know what to do. Readers suggested masks, paper bags, etc. I think someone suggested sunglasses, which I though was hilarious because you can still totally tell who I am.
So, I put some sunglasses on, but didn't want to vlog inside with sunglasses on, so car it was. The whole thing has stuck.
I think that's a pretty good deal. Yeah, sure, have a baby BUT go ahead and put funny hats on them. Win all around.
1) I wish I loved my company as much as you loved your company. Or that we at least had company sponsored karaoke hangouts.
2) I haven't washed my car in over two years. No ants so far. :P
3) I'm always afraid this is going to happen so I back up my computer like a madman. I actually did it last night while sorting through 8 gazillion piles of paper that I no longer needed but still had.
4) Hooray for learning!
5) Water polo seems really strange to me. I haven't watched pretty much any of the evening coverage now that the streaming is actually working well. It's kind of fun knowing the outcome before everyone else does. :)
6) I feel like this would've been fun and if I had known about it more in advance and been more adequately prepared, I might've done. Oh well...I suppose there's always next year.
7) OMGSHESTHEMOSTADORABLETHINGEVER. I love babies, far too much. Fortunately, I get my baby fix every other week by working in the infant nursery at church, but for serious. So precious. I want my sister and her hubby-to-be to hurry up and have a baby real soon once they're married so that I can be the super awesome aunt who spoils her little niece (or nephew). Also, her headbands are so precious.
8) You are forgiven for like Mae's face better than mine. Because let's be honest...she's freakin' adorable.
PS. Seriously. So cute.
Funny thing is that she looks a lot like my baby pictures. Her eyes, and forehead and head shape. So, cuteness at least half mine. ;)
Sorry! I'll send you chocolate as an apology. You'll need it during PMS.
Thank you.
And yes, it is! I haven't had one "bad day" at work in almost three months, which is pretty amazing. :)
Mae-fly is ADORBS. Also? I'm kind of thinking that in January, we should do karaoke. Because I have it on my 101 in 1001 list, and our tipsy on cocktails plan seems like it will go nicely with karaoke...
First, I didn't get the memo about everyone vlogging in August. A TON of people are doing it, and there is a VEDA thing going on... whatever that is. But it has something to do with vlogging I think. I think I might start this challenge because it seems like fun. Only 6 days late... and maybe a few extra days in September... or I'll just do my own thing and vlog everyday in SEPTEMBER. WHAT!
Second- THE BABY CUTENESS! I can't even handle it.
Third- I love best friends who don't know you're best friends yet. It's better than celebrities who don't know they are your future husband yet.
GOOD LORD THE OWL HAT.
When my boyfriend asks me why I'm suddenly "WE NEED TO HAVE A BABY BECAUSE OF KNITTED HATS" I'll be directing him here. Just a heads up.
Also: my post editor is ALWAYS being a jerk and it makes me want to roundhouse kick my laptop. Except I won't because not having a computer makes me hyperventilate. You can judge me for that comment, I deserve it.
Well, we can snuggle, too. If you want.
And I don't have nakedbabyphobia! Hahaha. I have a phobia of the naked baby's parents, who are generally so scary. So, so, so scary.
Those pictures are beyond adorable!! What did she weigh when she was born?! Sorry about the laptop... and the ants. My cousin is in Georgia and always has ants in her car too. Must be a southern thing ;)
Yay for college!!! I think I'm going to be a forever student too.
Ok the one in the owl hat? I can't even.
She is so beautiful! The photos came out beautifully! =)
I never wash my car.
SO sorry about the laptop =(.
Whoa, you have been busy bee! Enrolled in college and being all awesome at work too? Mae-fly is so tiny and ADORABLE!! I am totally acquainted with blogger problem number 3.... all the time! :D
Much aussie love xo
That photo of Mae-fly in the hanging basket with the owl hat is the cutest. Ever.
Imagine indistinguishable and loud baby schmooshy noises. And me making them. I'm not even a baby person, but at the moment, I totally am. She's so TINY and PRECIOUS.
