Introducing................

I am so excited to finally let you meet our new little pals! These are called Hugzies:

The pink Hugzy belongs to Beatrice and oh- she loves her new friend! In fact, her reaction upon meeting Hugzy is where I got the name. She just cuddles her like there's no tomorrow! I made the rabbit today. He has rice in his hands, feet and bottom as will all subsequent Hugzies.

I can't wait to add some to the Etsy shop! I'll let you know when I do.

MUST HAVE

Last night I left work early so I could try on a dress I saw the other day in the Ann Taylor window display. It fit so perfectly! Oooooooh, I love, love, love this dress. It is slightly longer in real life, just above the knee. Isn't it great?

2046

James and I watched this movie:


Wow. It's a real treat for the eyes. Definitely a grown-up movie.
Here are some nice shots...

Well, if you watch it, let me know what you think...

Um, hello... Where have you been?

Well, I've had a lot of things keeping me busy and keeping me away from here. Lots. Honest. For one thing, it's that lovely time of year again- Spring Cleaning. I had no choice but to submit to the frenzy after our long and miserable illness. This entire little tree house had to be picked up and shaken over the balcony. I scrubbed out the 'fridge and behind the toilet.
Did you know we lived in a different building in this same apartment complex until just before the baby was born? We lived in a one bedroom in the C building. This is a two bedroom in the E building. Boy, am I glad we moved. The C building burnt down last week. The whole building didn't actually burn, but it's damaged enough to require full destruction and removal. The only person hurt was a fireman. He was rescuing a woman from a top-floor apartment and she sucker-punched him so she could get her cats. Crazy cat lady. But he's okay.

Beatrice will be one in less than a month. She isn't walking. But she says "Book!"

The Indie Business Class, beginning the journey of buying a house, painting my dining room chairs, having long, long hair again, keeping a secret

5 Things I wish I could do:
Have some more red wine, get my nails done and my eyebrows waxed, spend more time with James, buy a car already, fly!

5 Places I'd like to travel:
India to see all the colors, Mexico, Greece, Africa (safari!), Paris for the art.

Wardrobe Wednesday

There's a really cool store, Mash n Gravy. You should check it out if you have lots of money to buy clothes for tiny people. Or if you want to get some ideas and make clothes for tiny people. Here an outfit I put together:

Sunshine Girl!

Today Beatrice went down to Butler Springs. . .

At first, she hated the swings. . .

So she did other things. . .

Swingin' with Daddy in the bright sunlight. . .

Swingin' on your own, now that's alright!
