Today is the birthday of one of my best friends ever. Pretty Lady and I met when we were sophomores in high school, in Mrs. Kuehne’s geometry class. Good times, good times.
Pretty Lady and I have had a rough time of it recently. We’re in very different stages of life right now, and it’s hard [...]

Happy Birthday!

Out of the mouth of the babe
While adjusting his blanket this evening: “I need some help, here!”
To get me to stop holding something: “Let go for it.”
The first thing he tells me when I ask him what he did at school that day: “I held hands with Eva.” (His teacher tells me he also kisses her on the cheek.)
Edited to add:When [...]

Naps
What a weekend! I had a great time at the women’s retreat with ladies from our church.
There was a tad bit of disappointment, though. You see, I pink puffy heart naps. I’m a serious napper. I get back into my jammies, take out my contacts, and zonk out. If I have to shower all over [...]

Handwashing is important
It’s also very, very cute when viewed from this angle:
I love to wash Jet’s hands. I like the feel of his super-soft skin on my fingers, all slippery with soap. I love to watch him wash “left hand, right hand, then ‘tween fingers, and the backs, too!”. I love the way his [...]

In which I come out of the nerd closet
Hello, my name is Damsel, and I’m addicted to office supplies.
It had been months and months since my last foray into an office supply store, on my honor, until today. Today’s trip into Office Wherever for giant thumbtacks was a bit like sending a recovering chocoholic into a fudge shop to get a glass of [...]

Let’s see what we’ve accomplished today…
I made the aforementioned trips to Home Depot and Office Wherever (more about that one later). However, I didn’t start gardening this morning because it was 60 degrees and breezy. I realize that my northern friends would consider that downright balmy, especially in the face of upcoming blizzards. It’s too cold for my blood, at [...]

The Clock
On one of my trips to my parents’ house yesterday, I found a couple of our things still there, so I went ahead and brought them over.
Jet discovered one of them in the kitchen this morning, and promptly went to “stand on the clock”.
Sorry for the fuzzy image… we’ve been discussing getting a new digital [...]

I believe in miracles
I won’t even tell you how long I thought it was going to take me to paint Jet’s room. It’s embarrassing.
This was Jet’s room at 8:15 this morning:
Eight hours, two trips to Home Depot, two trips to my parents’ house, and one lunch with Knight later, this is what we have:
I can hear you [...]

I’m so excited!
I just can’t hide it! I know, I know, I know… and I think I like it! (Okay. I’m done. But I really think life should just break out into musical numbers now and then.)
I was sitting at home today, pondering a mysterious feeling I had. It took several minutes to put my finger on [...]

"Before" pics
Here is the sidewalk photo:I’m talking about the part on the other side of the sidewalk. Too narrow to mow; must be dealt with before it becomes a jungle. My mom has plenty of rocks I could use to line the area. I think that will come in handy because we don’t have gutters, and [...]
