warmish, and where do you go when you sleep

today we woke up and i had to yell MERRY CHRISTMAS! there was like three inches of snow outside. the snowflakes look like shoppers in the mall at christmas, dodging different directions and blown about, unsure where to land. i'm hoping my strawberry plants are nice and warm under all that snow.


if these strawberries survive all they've been through it really will be a christmas miracle.

yesterday i started the book Lemon Tart by Josi S Kilpack and finished it this morning, but don't read it if you like to bake desserts because you'll find yourself at nine in the evening making chocolate chip cookies for an invisible crowd that may or may not live in your own stomach.

b is mad because it takes him three days to read 200 pages and i read almost 400 in less than one. i am not a speed reader, i just read voraciously. when i start a book that i like i almost never put it down, i don't pause, i inhale the whole thing and it's a delicious way to read. i bring books everywhere with me when i am reading. if i could read in the shower i would have figured out how to by now. (i've tried plastic bags but i ruined a few good books that way...)

today i am dying onesies! it's really really easy and sort of exciting. I was telling b that i wanted to dye them and then add different fabric touches to each one, like one with a letter on the front, one with an elephant, and then one with ruffle sleeves, one with ruffle bum etc. but he said to just leave them how they are so i might have to dye some more. :]

i am finally almost finished with my thank you cards. now i just need to get them to the people who i need to thank! (why is that the hard part?)

i just saw dash's metal drinking bowl fly up into the air past the window i'm looking out of.

the weather cannot decide weather to be sunny or snowy and i'm afraid it's trying to do both.

brandon is curled up on my right leg and i can't feel it anymore. if they amputate it's a sacrifice i am willing to make. i like watching him sleep.


i wonder if he is going to say funny things in his sleep again, i wonder where that rocketship went, or if it takes him everytime he sleeps. wouldn't that be awesome? if your dreams every night were just some form of transportation to all sorts of new places?

it would be like the phantom tollbooth. if you haven't read it, you should.

our house was 58 degrees this morning. we sleep with the windows open.

if i ever find that groundhog that said spring was here i'm gonna kill him, skin him, and feed him to dash.

then i'm going to move somewhere sunny and warmish.

do you see these?


never, ever, ever buy these cheese puffs. you will become addicted and die. or you may give birth to an orange child.

either way.
