Super water

Pat is a gadget lover. No ifs ands or buts. He loves technology and cool things. The other day we get a package in the mail and he's extra excited about this one. It's the Tersano Lotus LBU100 Sanitizing System! He explains to me what it does. I make a weird face and ask him to explain again. And again and again. I just can't believe this thing does what it says it does!

A snippet from Amazon's product description:

"When you use lotus, you turn ordinary tap water into the world's most powerful sanitizer in about two minutes, for a fraction of a penny. Studies have shown that ozone is 50-percent more powerful and more than 3,000 times faster acting on bacteria than chlorine -- at 100 times the strength. Water treated with this system will kill 99.9 percent of germs on any surface it contacts."

So basicially, you take tap water, put it in the spray bottle (or bowl for food), put the spray bottle on the machine and turn it on. In two or three minutes the thing tells you it's ready and the tap water has magically become SUPER WATER. You take the spray bottle off the machine and a timer starts running. GO! You have fifteen minutes to use the super water until it stops working and turns back into regular tap water. During these fifteen minutes you can sanitize pretty much anything.

I've tried this in the kitchen so far. I'm skeptical but if it really works then this is the best sanitizing product out there. Definitely worth looking into if you're even just a little bit intrigued!

Overstimulation

I arrived at my desk this morning to find a few hundred extra pixels of monitor workspace. The two middle computer monitors used to be the same size but they replaced the left one with an HP LP2475w 24in screen. Wow! That's even bigger than the tv on the left. The Mac on the right looks teeny tiny and sad and will now probably go unused for quite some time. Nothing but the best for ESPN -- there's always something bigger, better, faster and shinier to be had!

Jay's Room: Before and After

We moved to this new house one month after Jay was born. We didn't have time to set up his space and he was sleeping in our room anyway. Last month we finally finished his room and he has been sleeping there for a few weeks. Below is a before and after photo! More room photos can been found in this month's overall collection.

Before:

After:

I miss having him close by, but he is more comfortable in his own space and he is enjoying his room.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all mommies! We had a great day that included ice cream, Oreos, jewelry, shopping, pizza, a walk in the park, and three naps. What more could a mommy ask for?!?

Happy Mother's Day to Grandma Marilyn who is too far away in Oregon! We hope to see you soon and are thinking of you on my and Jay's first Mother's Day.

A special Mother's Day wish to my mom who has been in CT for the past seven months to help raise Jay. We are so lucky to have her here and it has been one of the best times of my life. It is a blessing to be able to share this experience with her. Thanks for everything mom!!! Love you lots.

One last MD shout out to Deepa who welcomed her second girl just two days ago! Looking forward to meeting your new little one soon.
