Yay! Elizabeth came down to visit from NYC. It was great seeing her again. She made me a way-cool long red scarf (a krafty kitten production). Oh yes, I know you all want to know where you can get one. Well, go e-mail kraftykitten@gmail.com to find out ( Read more... )

Okay, Mary Schneider gets my eternal gratitude. The first thing to make me laugh out loud in weeks. Mary Schneider is Australia's Queen of Yodeling. Like yodeling? You must own her Yodeling the Classics CD. I'm pissing my pants laughing. She does Brahms, Strauss, Mozart and Bizet. She's incredibly talented and I suppose it's a serious CD, ( Read more... )

It was a well needed lazy weekend. Still exhausted from the last couple of months of life and activities. It was great to just lie in my babe's arms and regenerate from the sound of his heart beating below my face. Brett's the best body-pillow ever. We quietly sat on the front porch reading comics and glancing over at each other to say, "No way ( Read more... )

My boyfriend's weekend work obligation fell through, so he's on his way to see me. I'm giddy like the first month we met. He's the greatest and I can't believe he's finally lookin' for work here. :) Humongo-grin on my face ( Read more... )
