Earthquake

Well folks, today I experienced my very first earthquake. I have come to realize that Texas children are not taught too much in the earthquake department. The only thing I could remember was, "get to a door jam!" So after conferring with 2 or 3 co-workers, "Is this an earthquake?" "Yes, the building is shaking, so we are having an earthquake", I hurried myself to a door jam and squatted for the duration. Drew and I are fine. Our house is okay and Annie is too. Although, I wish I could have seen her when it struck. I bet she was very confused.

Introducing Alana Faye Dolan!

Alana is here, Alana is here! Teresa and Cody welcome Alana Faye Dolan at 5:57 PM on July 17!
Both Teresa and Alana are doing well. Hooray for being an Aunt!

Look at those long legs! Just like her daddy!

Proud Parents!

Singapore!

Hidy Ho! Drew and I spent a week in Singapore visiting Schuyler and Stewart and their 2 girls, Flynn and Paige. We toured the city, ate yummy food, did some learning, and had a blast! Here are some pictures.

Maggie's Singapore Tips

1. Singapore = Sauna

2. Be advised - If someone orders fried baby squid this is NOT little pieces like calamari. This is WHOLE baby squids - eyeballs and all - fried.

3. If you wear a flowy dress, you may be asked when your baby is due.

Bye Bye Bye!

A message to the Dolan family (that includes you Teresa and you Hero) - You are going down faster than Dicky V can say, "That's AWESOME baby!"

The questions with Tom Dolan always is, "Will Freddie or Tommy be in attendance?"

Here we see Fred making his first appearance during the wedding rehearsal.

The fun is about to begin.

Uh oh! The jig is up! Fred being scolded by the wedding coordinator.

Get in line mister!

Yes, Drill Sargeant!

Bootcamp.

I willingly enrolled myself in bootcamp.

I signed up and paid money to be in bootcamp.

Monday - Friday, 4 weeks, 5:30 AM - 6:30 AM.

It is exactly what it sounds like it would be. Running, push-ups, drills, weights, crunches...and I LOVE IT! I was a little skeptical on Monday morning, but it has turned out to be quite fun. The best part of the whole situation is when I am driving to work and I remember that I have already worked out! Wahoo! Will I turn into a fitness super hero? Only time will tell. Stay tuned.

Bye! Bye! Bye!

PS - This morning I learned that four dice are the same size as one serving size of cheese. Bum city! I wish I never met that dietitian.

CH-CH-CH-CHIA

Today is my first official Christmas party at my new office. Wahoo! There will be food & drink and, of course, a white elephant gift exchange.The first white elephant in a new office is always a challenge. Evaluating the office culture is very important!


Let's say, for example, you bring hemorrhoid cream and everyone else brings pretty ornaments. Suddenly you are inappropriate! Shock fills the room! Let the gasps begin!

Of course there is the reverse...you purchase a sweet little Bath & Body Works something or other and everyone provides a gag gift. Then you are the stick in the mud with no sense of humor. You hear the faint whispers, "Does she know what "white elephant means?"

You want to shout from the roof tops, "EVERY office does this differently!" (Because the do after all)

As you can see, this has been a source of stress in my life. I finally reconciled myself to the fact that I was just going to bring some cheese "flavored" dip and call it good, when all of a sudden it came to me...CH-CH-CH-CHIA! Just like that! There I was on the treadmill, this morning no less, when it came to be like a flash of lightening (or brilliance) CH-CH-CH-CHIA! I zipped myself to the CVS hoping will all my might that Chia Pets were still on market. I turned down the housewares aisle and there it was, glorious Chia. CVS even had a selection! I bounded to the checkout with my Shrek head Chia Pet (okay, I bought 2 - I mean, it is a Shrek head Chia) knowing that I had in my hands the best white elephant gift in the office.

My work here is done. My reputation is safe. So in summary,when in doubt, chose Chia.











CH-CH-CH-CHIA!

Bye! Bye! Bye!

Happy Birthday Schuyler!

I officially commission today as "Wahoo for Schuyler Day!" All those in her presence should feel free to bow and courtesy. In fact, you can do so even if you aren't in her presence - I am doing it right now! Okay, I am at work (on my lunch break - thank you very much) so I will stop now.

Happy Birthday Sky! I am thankful for you!

I hope your day is (or was) I am not sure if you are 13 hours ahead or behind) FANTASTIC!

BYE BYE BYE!!!

1st Celeb Sighting!

I was at an event benefiting the Vanguard Cancer Foundation and the emcee was...
John Stamos! Let me tell you, he is just as cute in person. He brought along his friend Ian Gomez, Javier to all you Felicity fans. Both were charming and funny and helped raise money for Vanguard!

Bye Bye Bye!
