Highly Entertaining....

today i love....

* sleeping with my bedroom window cracked open

* morning tea

* the new "gourmet grilled cheese" at the bbc

* fresh paint on my toesies... OPI's "cajun shrimp", to be exact

* everything juno (i think i need the shenanigans shirt...) i love michael cera and ellen page. for reals. i think that i mos' def' have a new all-time-favorite-movie in this little gem... i even have (almost) figured out how to work the outrageously complicated touch-screen piece of crap remote in the livingroom in order to watch said movie.

* my sewing machine. and the fact that erin traveled all over ebf hunting down the ellusive apples-and-pears fabric that EVERY jo-ann's fabric store east of the mississippi was out of.... and scored me other sweet fabrics, too....

* speaking of fabric...... pears, michael miller, amy butler, quilt pirates?!?!?!

* sunshine. although i certainly wish the freaking WIND woud give it a break. WIND is for march... as in "march goes IN LIKE A LION, and MAY shall be for sunshine and lilacs", OBVS.

* mornings when i get to watch the ellen degeneres show. i.love.ellen.

* hot dogs on the grill. and cheeseburgers. and salad with french dressing. and corn on the cob. and watermellon.

33 weeks and counting...

Isn't she lovely?

This is my very best friend in the whole world, with a belly full of babies. She is beautiful and I love her.

We spent the afternoon watching Juno and eating Papa Ginos delivery. We hollered at the dogs for running around like crazies and digging in the yard. We set up a rockin' photo studio in my kitchen with green flannel sheets as a backdrop... I was fresh out of black satin sheets, so the old green ones had to do.

Side note: I' m thinking if I were ever to open a *professional* photography studio, it would be called "Green Sheet Studio". Whaddayathink??

It was raining all morning and into the afternoon, so all of the cool outdoor shots I wanted were pretty much out of the question. These are two of the last pictures I snapped, and they are probably my favorites. I have no idea how to edit photos on my computer, so I'll be headed off to Ritz later to play with them a little bit, maybe convert a few to black and white.

I am so thankful that Tania let me photograph her and her bulging belly. Connor and Avery are safe and sound inside that big ol' belly, cookin' a little bit longer before they make their way into the world. I can't wait to meet them and hold them and smell them and kiss their little baby toes. I am in love with them already...

I also can't wait to tell them what an amazing mama they have. I will make sure they know just how very special she is... we will make handprint paintings for Christmases and Mother's Days and we will wrap them up in bright paper and give them to their mama.

Connor and Avery are lucky babies, and I am a lucky friend. Thank you, Tania, for being my bestest.

a true story

Once upon a time there was a girl.

This girl had lots of friends who were *fabulous* bloggers. The girl decided she, too wanted to be *blogtastic*.

So, the girl set out to create herself a blog. A place where she would share little pieces of her comings and goings, her adventures, her trials and tribulations, her insanely-funny-if-only-to-herself-random-musings. Often she would include pictures to accompany her stories, occasionally a video or two.

After about a year, the girl started to become a *bad blogger*. Life sometimes gets in the way of recreational computer time.

So, the girl began to only post weekly, something she swore she'd never do. :(

Perhaps one day the girl will once again be full of fun and exciting and interesting (or not-so-much) things to say to her faithful (?) blog readers. Until that time, she will wander the interweb, aimlessly looking for blog-inspiration to share with her friends.

The end.
