This is a public post. So just because you can read it doesn't mean I cut you.

I just cut a bunch of people from my friends list. If you were cut, please don't take it personally... I just didn't think we had anything in common anymore, you don't post anymore, I wasn't reading your blog anymore, or I am pretty sure you weren't reading mine.

That being said -- if you were cut and you are upset about it because you ARE reading or believe we DO have things in common, please comment to this post and I'll probably add you back.

Mwah.

Misty was born at 7:57 a.m. She weighs 7 lb. 15 oz. and is 21 inches long. Everything went really well, even though I wasn't completely numbed! I already feel like getting up but I'm not doing that yet!

For anyone local to San Jose who would like to come visit, I'm at Good Sam in room 286 and my last name is Sprecher (you'll need to know that). Visiting hours are 2pm-8pm.

Happy happy happy!!!

There is no wifi network here so pics might have to wait, but I'll try to find a way...

This post is going to be in my memories, and I'll go back and add to it, just like I did for 2005.
