Some of my Favorite new pics

T Discovered K's sunglasses. Normally she does not respond well to eye wear on people, but does not seem to mind it on herself.




T likes to come get the camera, I think it makes for a cute set of photos.



At Thanksgiving Point Gardens the fish are so crazy. One little food pellet and it's poisson vs. poission.


I wish I had the flash on for this one, but it's still cute for me.


I liked the "in the moment" feel of this pic, so I did some foolin' in Photoshop.


Geeze, that girl melts my heart.

Adventures of Food

He thought he was tanning in a safe warm place, but then he suddenly understood what his fate was to be.....

Musings

Words that are not used often enough: Mangy, Caper, Rubbish.

I am on a purging splurge. I know that a move is somewhere on the horizon. Things must go! It's refreshing and freeing. Oddly, I can't seem to let go of any sweaters.I don't know why. I really like all of them. And I want more.

Oh, my Birthday was lovely. Birthdays are hit and miss for me, I can be moody. T was up a lot the night before, but I felt good. We saw Dark Knight. Wow. Your body knows it is a long movie but you can't help but feel riveted. After we ate at Tiburon. Mmmmmm. That place is soooo yummy. Yes, I had the "majestic elk" as K refers to it. It was nice to be at a meal and just eat and talk, not entertain, feed, wipe, quickly eat and talk. K's sweet parents watched T for us, but unfortunately T cried every time that K's mom came in the room. Then she threw up. My poor girl! My poor in-laws! And they want to watch her again. I totally scored.

Another movie I finally saw recently- There Will Be Blood. Another Wow- but not in a good way. I just didn't get it. Sometimes I think the Academy is full of crap. The only good thing is that I get the SNL skit now. "I drink your milkshake!"

I wish I was in a swing state.

My face wash selection skills continue to be poor. As is my makeup selection skills. I tried to jump on the mineral makeup bandwagon, but I think it is making my skin unhappy. Am I going to have to hit up the mall makeup counters? I really don't want to- I find them oddly intimidating. It may be like my old gym phobia. I just need to go, get it over with, and wonder what all the fuss was about.

I love celebrating T's little milestones. Today she ate apple sauce with a spoon, by herself. She loved dipping her spoon in and savoring each bite, no matter how little made it on the spoon. (You could say she was enjoying the fruit of her labors, hahahahaaaaa...... Sorry.) She even passed up a Gogurt later in the day for another round. And that girl loves her some yogurt.

Things that are simultaneously enlightening and maddening: Recycling, Football season, Oprah.

Quickly

There is a lot to catch up on, but there is too much right now. It's just that I got the best surprise today and wanted to share.

When I have said "mom, mom, mom" to T she usually replies with a "Dadadada!" and a silly grin. It's been funny but well, it would be nice to get a "mom" once in awhile too.

Today she said crawled up to me and grabbed my leg and said "mamama." I was so surprised that I wasn't sure she said it. Then she said it again!

I guess I just live for little things like that because it made my week.

Totally worth the wait.
