New Year's Eve!

I'm going to Red Lobster with Grammie, Papa, Mommy and Daddy today.

Mommy found out 1 year ago today that she was having ME!

Note to Grammie

Yes, all the guys in the shop are professional ASE certified mechanics.

Zia's Auto Tip #323

Always make sure your shop uses name brand oil when you get your oil changed.
Make sure they dispose of it in an ecologically friendly manner too.

(Of course, if you come to my shop, you don't have to worry about it. We do things right.)

Whoa!

We've been so backlogged at the shop that I haven't had time to blog.
I'm taking the rest of the week off to do baby stuff.
I'm going to work on grabbing things with my hands.

Sweet

I'm the Sweetest Sweetum that ever Sweeted a Sweetum!

(Mommy says so.)

Weigh In

In this corner....Weighing in at 13 pounds 7.5 ounces.....
ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIA Kissinger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daddy Got New Software

Click to make me bigger.

Today

I had a fun day with Grammie while Mommy and Daddy went out shopping.
They ate fish. I ate milk.
They bought me a book.

Santa Found ME!!!!!

Dang It

It's Christmas and I'm awake.
I don't understand why I can't open my presents now.
Mommy told Lucy and I that we have to wait until 'morning'.

Merry Christmas Eve!

I'm going to stay up and wait for Santa.
I have cookies for him and caramel corn for the reindeer.

Urgent Pineapple Nation Update

It was brought to my attention by Pineapple Intelligence Officer Great Aunt Melody that some of our beloved Pineapples were kidnapped by grocery conglomerate Aldi's.

A strike team, led by honorary Pineapple Chuck Norris, was able to successfully rescue the Pineapples and return them to the greenhouse.

The rogue porcupine has been removed from duty and replaced by a loyal badger.

Pineapple Princess Zia

Ear Muffs are Fun!

I like Kenny G.

Wow

Daddy put SPACE in the washing machine.
Weird.

Dilemna

food? hands? food? hands?

Pineapple Update

The pineapples are resting comfortably in the greenhouse.
The porcupines have successfully warded off attacks from the tomatoes and pine nuts (the mentally unstable pineapples).

The Princess weather service is estimating that the Pineapples will be awaking the 3rd Thursday in March, weather permitting.
At that time we celebrate the coming season with Pineapple Fest '09.

Christmas


My first tree.
Look at all those presents!

Look at Me!


I'm a big girl!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Sing it again!
and again!
and again!
and again!

Hee Hee!

St. Bernard

I need a ShamWow to absorb all of my drool.

Sweet!

Mommy and Daddy are open late, just like Wendy's.
I just ordered a 4oz'er of Similac off the dollar menu.

Cold


It is very cold and I am very pink.

Paparazzi


Caught me in my official PJ's again...

Zia's Auto Tip #322

With proper care by a certified mechanic many of today’s cars can last 200,000 miles or more, and owners seeking to limit repair costs by trading in their vehicle every three to five years may lose out on thousands of savings.

Fun Day

I love the Red Lobster bathroom.
I like the music at Safeway.
I am glad it is Friday.

Shhhhhhhh......


Santa's wearing a cowboy hat.
Pretend to be asleep.

Spread the Word

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I'm a 12 piece original recipe fuss bucket.

Santa News Alert

The Santa at the mall is NOT the real Santa.
The real Santa would not hide behind trees and make you pay to see him.

I'm going to see the REAL Santa tomorrow.

Starbucks

Grammie got me my favorite... triple espresso shot!

No Affiliation

My Castle

Bangs

Mommy's bangs are VERY funny.

Grandma and Pop

Grandma and Pop came to visit me.
They are very cool.
Pop has hair like me.
Grandma feeds me.
I will miss them.

Happy Birthday to ME!

I am 4 months old today.
I'm kickin' it in space.

Auntie Dawn Reads My Blog!

That is cool.

Cold

It's so cold outside. I'm glad I live inside.
I played Roly Poly with Grammie today.
She says I am very smart.

I get to see Grandma B and Pop tomorrow. I hope they're bringing their frost hats!

Sleepy

I am a very sleep girl today.
I played hard today.
I ate my food and slept at the same time.
I will be a very happy baby in the morning. (Hopefully not before 6, says Mommy).

Oh Yeah

I can use both hands at the same time.
Take that, Mr. Bird.

Hibernation

The Pineapples have officially gone into hibernation for the winter.
During this time I will get caught up on all my Princess paperwork and plan our spring activities.
We have hired porcupines to guard the greenhouse during this time.

Princess Pineapple Zia

Zia's Auto Tip #321

You can take your car to any certified mechanic. You don't have to take it to the dealership to avoid voiding the warranty.
Typically, an independent mechanic is your most economical choice. (due to the use of child labor)
They also have better hours and cuter mechanics.

Shout Out!

Shout out to Grandma B and Pop.
I hear that I will see you very soon!

Good Morning!

I slept a long time.
I ate my food.
I read a book about Panda Bears.
We are decorating for Christmas today. I think that might be cool.

Saturday Adventure


I went to Boulder today with Mommy, Daddy, and the bald man.
It was cold and I was bundled up.
We ate at The Kitchen. We sat by the kitchen.
Mommy bought me some Christmas presents. She wouldn't let me see them.
I went to the bus station and said Bye to the bald man. He was nice. I liked watching him eat his food.
I was a very, very good girl.

Pineapple Power!

A Warm Greeting from the Pineapple Princess

Enjoy.

Daddy's Sweatshirt

I got poop on it.

Hello All!

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday. I was too busy with my Black Friday shopping.
Plus, the Pineapples finished up the greenhouse. We are having a grand opening on Sunday.
No more frost hats! It's a good thing,since it snowed today.
Bye for now.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for... (in no particular order)
  • Mommy and Daddy
  • Stella and Mr. Turtle
  • Grammie and Papa
  • Grandma and Pop
  • Aunt Dawn
  • Warm food
  • Great Aunt Melody
  • Maggi
  • Barack Obama
  • Tigger and Lucy
  • Olbermann Fish

Weird

There is a new person here. He is bald like me.
Tomorrow we will eat turkey.
Mommy said I can have some cool whip.

Sad

Where have all my comments gone?
I miss them.

Zia's Auto Tip #320

Ask your mechanic if they are running any specials or will match a coupon from a competitor.

Through the end of December, I'm offering a full synthetic oil change with 40 point inspection and free tire rotation for $39.99.

Dear Santa (Part 2) - The Addendums

Dear Santa -
Please don't forget about my Aunt Maggi.
She doesn't have a blog and I don't think she knows how to read or write.

Also, my mommy has a list for you if you want it.

In "Dear Santa, Part 1", I asked for a Fisher Price High Chair. It is very nice, but that was before I knew about this marvelous piece of furniture.

Thank you for your consideration. I am still a very good girl.

Pineapple Princess, Zia

New Outfit

I got a new outfit with little Aunt Maggi's on them.
Weird.
I wonder if Aunt Maggi has an outfit with little Zia's on them...

Goodbye Tuesday, Hello Wednesday

Such a busy day...
Ate my food
Met Mommy at Red Robin for Lunch
Slept
Got a balloon
Went to Target with Grammie
Ate my food
Played
Napped
Now Daddy's Home.

Street Cred


I'm Hip Hop Zia and I'm here to say...
I'm going to see my Grammie to-day.

Dear Santa (Part 1)

Dear Santa -
I'm new this year, so I'm not sure how this works, but here is some stuff I think is cool.
Mommy and Daddy say I have been a good girl this year. I have other references available upon request.
Thank you for your consideration. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.

P.S. Please bring nice things to my sisters, Tigger and Lucy. They don't have their own blogs.

Ha Ha!

I laughed at mommy.
She's funny when she eats cannoli.

Bath Time

Splish Splash I was taking a bath!

Modeling Career


If I was any cuter I would explode into a rainbow of puppies and kittens with bows in their ears.

(The remainder of my photo shoot will be available after the holiday season.)

Pineapples and Thanksgiving

The Pineapples celebrate Thanksgiving, since most people eat turkey and not Pineapple. (This is one of the many things the Pineapples are thankful for.)

The Pineapples do not celebrate Easter.

Learning

I have learned...
  • How to stick out my tongue when mommy does it
  • How to gobble like a turkey
  • About the pilgrims and the 1st Thanksgiving
  • How not to take naps when I should
  • That toys are no fun without batteries

Sleepy

I am very sleepy today.
Good night all.

Santa

I am working diligently on my Christmas list for Santa Claus.
I hope he has not been hurt by the economic crisis. I need STUFF.

Tomato Conflict Update

The tomatoes withdrew upon news that their General had gone mushy.
Peace has once again been restored to the Pineapples

Pineapple Press Release

Monday, November 17 2008

Pineapple Princess Zia has ordered that the Pineapple Army prepare for battle with the Tomatoes. Intelligence shows that the Tomatoes have violated Pineapple air space in preparation for a takeover of the Pineapple Kingdom. More updates to follow.

Good Day


I had such a good day.
I got to hang out with Mommy, Daddy, Grammie, PaPa and Maggi.

Up Late


I was up late watching TV again.

I wonder.

If someone is an honorary Pineapple, and they were caught EATING Pineapple, would that make them a cannibal?

What?

Why would someone ask if I wanted a kid's menu?
I'm guessing it didn't look like this:

Breast Milk $1.99/oz.
Similac $1.60/oz. (available in 4oz. and 8oz. only)
Enfamil $1.60/oz. (available in 4oz. and 8 oz. only)

Jeans vs. Dress

Jeans win.

Hard Work

Professional photography is hard work.

Shopping

I like catalog shopping. They have pretty colors and pretty people.
I would really love QVC if I was allowed to watch TV.

Zia's Auto Tip #319

If your antifreeze is leaking, it's probably a bad gasket.

I like cute.

Grammie got me a cute outfit with polka dot pants!
Mommy got me a cute outfit for my pictures tomorrow!

Perfect

I am perfect!

Stop Cruelty to Pineapples!


Death to Rachel Ray!

Food

I like to hold my own bottle.

Zia's Funnies

Gravity really gets me down.

Zia's Auto Tip #318

Don't forget to check your tire pressure every 3 months.

Grammie

I had fun with Grammie again today.
We played new games.
I love my new aquarium.
I hope I get to see Papa tomorrow!

Hair

IHOP

I did not know that this was not the 'International House of Pineapples'.
I had prepared a speech.

Winter

Winter is coming. Time for the Pineapples to put on their frost hats.
We are raising money for a greenhouse to keep warm.

Max

I met a boy named Max at IHOP. He is much older.
I'm impressed that he can hold up his own head.
He drools a lot though.

Princess Declaration

I hereby declare that Grammie is an honorary Pineapple!

Big News

President Elect Obama has appointed me as 'Ambassador to the Fruit Nation'.

Fun Day!

I had a fun day at McDonald's with Daddy and Grammie.

Don't tell Papa, but I can get the stuff cheaper at Auto Zone.
Mommy bought me pretty clothes at the mall.

Zia's Auto Tip #317

Don't forget to change your wiper blades before winter.

Moon Walk!

Turtles in Space!

I didn't know that Stella and Mr. Turtle and Mommy could all go into space too. I'm glad.

Touchy

Mommy doesn't like it when I talk about Space Camp.
I'm excited for Papa to come visit me though. I'll try not to be fussy.

Hair

I'm going to get my hair done with Mommy tonight.
I'm thinking maybe a few highlights and a trim.

Trade Agreements 101
