Okay, I'll blame summer getting to me with long days of just having two girls to chase around (which is admittedly work, but they also have plenty of time that they're distracted without my help).

But Emily, I don't know when you're due and all, but wondering if you possibly wanted to have a baby shower some time while you're visiting family up here in NYC? I just know how venues can book up pretty fast in this city. And you'd be helping me out with something else to do around here.

Or at least let me know when/if you're going to find out the sex so I can send a gift.

Why do I love New York?

Shakespeare in the Park. Is there a better way to spend my summer? Maybe. Is there anything I'd rather do? I don't think so.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacation. Or at least those of us who get the opportunity to take off during the summer.

New Orleans and me are getting along just fine.

It is the sad fact of actors when we're not paying attention to what we're saying outside of a scene that Luna has already made $100 this summer off of her swear jar. Fifty of that in an epic telling off in which they also were nice enough to tell her to cover her ears and paid in advance. It's better than any lemonade stand I ever tried to run as a kid.

And Oliver had decided what he wants for his birthday. Actually finding a toad however is more difficult than one would think, and I'm still trying to decide exactly how much I really like this idea. I think I preferred it when I thought he was going to ask for an owl. That I can say no to pretty easily (despite what some people might think).

At least it's not a snake either...

Don't judge. I just did this.
