zippy

Just to clear up any confusion about our pet - this is Zippy.

We love her <3

*not the best picture of Zippy or G, but it was handy :)

monday give-aways!

I love free stuff! I know you do, too :)

AJ also posted this one - I think the necklace they are giving away is so super cute - I really hope I win (or AJ - that would also be excellent)!



I also follow Amanda's blog. I found her when she had a cute shop on Etsy - which she has turned into a really fabulous baking/candy/kitsch supply shop - Bake it Pretty. I love her stuff - it's all so fun! She is giving away some gift certificates for her shop - and I hope I win because I have a laundry list of fun items I *really* want.

Happy Monday!

i knew it would happen

Remember Zippy the wonder pig? She's still hanging around, still flinging poo's out of her house and onto the floor.

Remember Gerald the amazing boy-baby? He's gotten really good at picking up puffs and feeding them to himself.

I am hyper-vigilant about pig poo's on the floor. I can hear them hit the floor from across the house and I am on them like white on rice. But this morning I missed one. I was making toast, the poo must have hit the floor at the exact instant the toaster popped. I turned around and saw Gerald chewing something. I knew what I would find.

Yes, my perfectwonderfulamazing child was eating a pig poo.

Grossest moment of my life.

yesterday

Wide awake and ready to play but with a rash from the amoxycillin. FAIL!

Guess he did get some of my genes.

Poor (Julian and Jenifer).

The spambot in the webcafe couldn't even be bothered to remove the parenthesis, what an amateur.

blaahhhhh

We're still sick. Thanks for the cold medicine suggestions:) I ended up eating almost an entire bag of Ricola drops last night. And when I woke up there were Ricola stains on my pillow case and cough drops in my hair. Lovely.
I also have two new zits. Double lovely. One is directly under my left nostril, it looks like I have a booger hanging out of my nose. The other is randomly located on my cheek.

I am a mess. We see the Dr. at 4:15. Is it 4:15 yet?

ha!

I'm trapped in the box!

i got a sticker

Voted after aerobics this morning. I was hot and sweaty, with a baby attached to me via sling.

I didn't vote for a free coffee/bagel/donut/ice cream cone. I voted because I want to be heard, I voted because then I feel I have the right to complain about/champion our government. And I voted because it wasn't that long ago that women couldn't vote.

this is the best

I'm browsing through stuff on etsy, bouncing G on my knee and he is "singing" - just the cutest little high pitched cooing ever - and then he becomes really quiet. I realize he has fallen asleep sitting upright on my knee, he was just that cozy hanging out with mom.

*melt*

I need to open an etsy shop, I need a creative outlet - I have a few ideas... What would you sell?
