Save the Blue Whale!

I am just tickled pink about my blue whale suit!

Big Bird is Weird!

Can you tell me how to get OFF Sesame Street? Big Bird is weird!

Who is Uncle Sam?

My mother is an accountant and sometimes she takes me to work with her. We have been very busy this week, especially on April 15. Luckily I slept most of the day through that torrential day. I wonder, who is Uncle Sam? I keep hearing about him but I never actually see him! I don't think I want to see him, because people don't seem to like him. Oh, well. When I grow up I am going to be a piano player.

My Motto

Don't worry ...

be happy!

The Easter Bunny Cometh!

Shhhhhh ... I think I see the Easter Bunny and he looks ridiculous!

Bathing is a Good Thing!

I have already learned that bathing is a good thing. When I am clean and freshly powdered, I find that I sleep for longer periods and that my dreams are more pleasant. Also, I simply ADORE the robe that What's-Her-Name bought me! Everyone should be so lucky! Happy Easter to all and to all a good night! Or is that CHRISTMAS? I am young and still somewhat confused.

"What's Her Name"

Lily Gillen here on Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Just wanted to comment on this woman who keeps holding me -- I don't know her name but I like the way she twirls around in circles every time I cry and then swoops me up in the air like a helicopter.

I have heard people mention that she is my grandmother, and that her name is "Ju-Ju," because all her nieces and nephews have always called her that, but that somehow it just didn't seem right for me since I am her GRANDDAUGHTER. I overheard my mother telling her, "Maybe you can just be 'What's-Her-Name."

And then this woman who swoops me up in the air said, "That ain't right." You would think she could at least use proper grammar.

"We'll just wait and see what happens," said 'What's-Her-Name.' I have noticed that 'What's-Her-Name's motto seems to be, "Let's just wait and see." It is interesting that her husband, Bruce, does not embrace this motto for he is a PLANNER. Again, he is a simple man and I like that about him.

Meanwhile, I do like the song "What's-Her-Name" sings to me -- "The Itsy Bitsy Spider," or something like that. Also, I am going to post a picture that a friend of hers airbrushed for her ... after all, "What's-Her-Name" is well, old. Still, it is a good picture and I like it. Stay tuned -- time for an Enfamil buzz.

Soap Opera Trauma

I cannot believe they are taking "Guiding Light" off the air! This is a travesty!

Lily Gillen's First Blog!

Lily Gillen here, one month old today. Of all things, I attended my first Mule Day Parade in Columbia, Tennessee (see picture). I slept through most of the mule stomping, but I did see Phil Fulmer, Grand Marshal. I wonder: How did Phil go from being the Tennessee football coach to grand marshal of the Mule Day Parade in less than six months? Even though I have been in this world for only one month, I have learned that things are strange here. Very strange.
