And then there were three. My little girl arrived a bit early, and we’re all grateful she arrived safely and it healthy and well! The baby and I are doing great. She’s about 3 hours old in the photo above. Born at 6pm and was 5 lbs and 19 inches long. Apparently she wanted to come celebrate Thanksgiving and Mommy’s birthday too! Here’s her birth story.
Casey’s Cupcakes, 2011 Winner on Food Network’s Cupcake Wars had their grand opening on the UCR Campus today! So I got some yummy cupcakes for lunch. :)
What we thought was a Spring Celebration (with free pizza), turned out to be a taping of “Undercover Boss!” Our Chancellor at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) was chosen for the job. He went undercover for a few weeks and did various things like shelf books in the library, give a tour of the campus, help coach track runners, make lunches for the students, be a teacher’s assistant, take care of greenhouses, and more! It was hilarious! Let’s just say, Chancellor White had a lot of fun playing his new character, “Pete.” The episode will air in about a month from now.
After the celebration, I got the chance to meet Scotty the Bear! Go Highlanders! ;)
I had an amazing time at the Jordin Sparks concert at Club Nokia tonight! It was quite exciting to be in a room packed with her screaming fans. Jordin came on stage at 9pm and brought so much energy to the crowd, it was hard not to sing and jump along! I kept the jumping to a minimum though since I didn’t want to drop my camera. ;)
A few days ago, I heard Ryan Seacrest mention that Orianthi will be playing at my local Best Buy this weekend. I’m so happy I caught that announcement!
So my friends and I met up today at Best Buy and watched her perform a few songs from her album. She performed “Drive Away,” “Bad News,” and my favorite “According to You.” For those of us who came earlier, we got a pre-show when she was doing her sound check. :)
If you haven’t heard her music yet, you’ll soon find out that she’s an amazing guitarist. She’s worked with incredible musicians like Carrie Underwood, Steve Vai, Carlos Santana, and Michael Jackson. Here’s a full interview with her from iProng Magazine.
