If a picture is worth a thousand words…

Then you’re going to have to be content with a thousand words.
‘Cause I got no pictures.
What a week.
I blame the baby. She started off the week sick and decided to cry off and on during the night a few times, sleep in our bed a few times, kick people in the face a few times [...]

Yesterday

Yesterday was the conclusion of Operation: Paint the House.
And by “House”, I mean the entryway, hallways, living room, and around the window in the dining room. (Oh! and the laundry room door. Don’t forget that.)
Everyday, during naptime, late at night, early in the morning, just painting. Or getting ready to paint. Which, frankly, takes as [...]

I think I’ve finally figured it out.

Everyone says, when you have a girl, that they’re so fun because you get to dress them.
And I’ll admit, I didn’t really get it.
I mean, you get to dress boys. And they’re cute.

But now, I think I get it.

It’s fun because you get to put her in clothes that you would never wear.

Like magenta leggings.

Raise [...]

We got our weekends back.

I have to say, the worst part of traveling back and forth between two places is that we never really had a restful weekend. Fridays were always busy with packing, and driving, and then unpacking.
We spent Saturdays working and being busy; doing all the things we should normally do during the week, but that we [...]

Why pay someone when you can do it yourself?

(One half of a phone conversation)
(Overheard)
(in my head)
“So, what was the quote from that kitchen designer?”
“No, the one for the big apartment complex account.”

“Are you kidding me? That’s outrageous! How hard is it to design a kitchen? Like that’s real work.”

“Oh, I know. Must be nice to make that kind of money.”

“You know what? It [...]

First haircuts

I was scrolling through some pictures on my computer when I happened across this one.

And my first thought was, “Who gave Felicity that awful haircut?”

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I’m loaded with many tedious videos of a one-year-old not blowing out her candle, not unwrapping her presents, not-quite walking and decidedly not smashing frosting into her hair.
And I’m not afraid to post them.
Stay tuned.

As opposed to how I usually do it when I just stop blogging and everyone assumes I’ve dropped off the face of the earth.

This time, I’m announcing that I’m dropping off the face of the earth for ten days!
(Okay, not really.)
(But you have to admit, this place might be a lot more interesting if I did.)
I’m actually just going to be internet-less for about ten days.
I still plan to write. But I also plan to paint, so we’ll [...]

Well, if that’s the way you’re going to bee.

As many of you know, we live in two places. (all at once! we’re so special!)
We go back “home” every weekend. (we’re soooo hip and cool.)
This last time we were home, I went out on the back deck to clean out my vacuum canister (Wait? I have to clean two houses? by myself?!)
and I noticed [...]

And now you know his real name.

Not sure why he decided to write it on his leg, but it might come in handy if they are ever separated.

(If you’re taking my picture, does that mean I’m not really in trouble?)
