Family

Trying New Things

My Shelf

Eva is quite the adventurous kid. This little shot above reminds me of one famous shot (in my family) of me in the cupboards at my grandmother’s house. I took out all the pots and pans and climbed in. I will have to dig that photo out, I may even have a digital copy somewhere. Eva is with us on vacation in Florida. She discovered her grandparent’s rolling shelves and took the pots and pans off this shelf and climbed on up. Allison took the photo. I wish I was at the house when this happened.

Mmmm, PASTA!

Eva is also a very adventurous eater. She has not found a food that she does not like, not one. She is a fan of all foods. We take her with us to restaurants and now she wants to try a little from our plates at every meal. Tonight we had ziti and meatballs and Eva was all over it. At some point she even had a couple of them on her fingers. She does like her food. And we encourage her to try everything that we can. Although no sugar until the 1st birthday (I know I’m mean but that is only little over a month away.)

I’ll be updating this blog with Eva pictures throughout the vacation. I have some great products to review and can’t wait to share them with you. Stick around.

Psych: Talk Derby to Me

****Spoilers Possible ***

I can’t post the videos anymore because they come up a week later now. When it is up you can go to Hulu.com to watch it.

Last night’s episode of Psych was a very good one in my opinion. The story centered around a burglary case. Shawn is called in to help out on the case and he determines that the people who perpetrated the crime were on roller skates.

So we get an undercover episode with Juliette in the role of the undercover officer. She goes undercover at the roller derby. We learn early on that some of the women on Juliette’s team were the ones who are the criminals. They hit a department store and took a bunch of piddly things, but that wasn’t why they were there. That reveal happened much later where we find that they were stealing identities.

This episode was really a big focus on Juliette and her role as a detective on the Santa Barbara PD. She takes her job very seriously and dives right into her work. Apparently she was a decent roller skater and she even gets pretty mean on the track, breaking someone else’s nose. I did enjoy the parts where Lassiter wanted to go undercover and Chief Vick basically put the kibosh on that because of his previous undercover exploits.

Shawn worked very well with Juliette because well, he is in love with her. She has some feelings for him too but keeps that pretty close to the vest. She sees how he is with other women, at least in past seasons he was a bit of a player, that has been toned down. No, he has fallen hard for Jules and even went out of his way to make her a fancy dinner.

Gus was pretty much in the background this episode because he was studying for a pharmaceutical exam, which Shawn took on his behalf. That was pretty funny especially because Gus’ password is “Chocolate Thunder”. Too funny.

The best part of the episode was the very end where “couples skate” started and Shawn tried to hold Juliette’s hand. Oh, she certainly has some feelings for him for sure. Next week is the summer season finale of Psych and Lumberg himself, Gary Cole, is coming to the show as a guest star.
