Whoever invented the body pillow deserves a Peace Prize. Holy smokes… this thing is awesome.
It was the first step towards 1 hour of pure bliss. I ventured to The Still Point at it’s stunning new location in Takoma Park. That’s where I was greeted by Erika who specializes in prenatal massages. All I remember is cradling my body pillow while she worked my muscles from head to toe. I drifted off just enough to remain relaxed but still aware so I could enjoy the treatment. I usually like a ton of pressure but this was perfect. It wasn’t too hard and wasn’t too light. Just perfect.
SPECIAL: If you’re expecting, The Still Point is offering 15% off pre-natal massages. When you book let them know you heard about it through Oh My Baby!
Erika.. the lady with the magic touch!

Many have asked whatever happened following my Macbook Meltdown.
BEFORE
AFTER
It’s a reporter/blogger’s worst nightmare. Spilling water on your #1 tool- the computer. After my ‘doh’ moment and another ‘doh, doh, doh’ moment when I proceeded to turn the mac on and off while wet, essentially frying the insides… I took my baby to the guys at onCALL 25/8.
Here’s a breakdown of what happened according to computer technician Luis Corchon:
We received your Macbook with clear signs of water damage. The battery was still attached 
Liquid apparently seeped through multiple places including the screen trim and through the keyboard onto the internal (and expensive) parts of the machine.
Affected components:
Keyboard
Motherboard
Memory
LCD
Hard drive
MORE: Like OnCall 25/8 on Facebook, never know when you’ll need them
We were able to get the keyboard fully operational through extensive cleaning. The motherboard 
circuitry was damaged and could not be repaired. There are thousands of individual chips on the motherboard that can each house several BILLION microscopic transistors. We reflowed (a special oven for hardware) the motherboard and brought it almost back to life…but the video output was shaky. After several days of troubleshooting, we ended up replacing the board with a part we had in stock.
The LCD had extensive water damage but we had spare parts to replace the LCD controller and get your unit operational.

Hard drive circuitry was damaged. We attempted to repair the electronics, but unfortunately the damage was too extensive. Replaced the hard drive with a new one (5 year warranty). and installed the user’s original software.
Angie’s take: The board is about $600 but onCALL fixed it for a fraction of that price. When I went to Apple’s genius bar they were gonna charge $750 flat out just for the board. It was almost a total loss but it was repaired for a cost less than the actual manufacturer. The best part.. all that was done in just a few days!

The bride with her golden locks down was darling in her white chiffon gown and sweetheart neckline. The groom was handsome in white vest and tie. The bridesmaids looked like soft lilac blossoms in JCrew silk chiffon ‘Taryn’ dresses in sweet thistle. Following the ceremony the reception was held at the historic George Washington Hotel. The cake flawless and mini wedding cupcakes in customized boxes at each table were sweet savoirs for guests unable to wait til the cutting ceremony. Congratulations to my sorority sister and sweet friend through the years… Kinsey and her love Phil.
As the Newlyweds wished… we promise to Eat, Drink and Be Married!

I recently entered the danger zone: 50% off these and then another 15% if you buy them as ‘pre-sale’ at Bloomy’s. I tried them on below and couldn’t leave them behind— well, only under one circumstance.. I get them after Aug 11th after the pre-sale date! See you soon Salvatore!
The bait!
