super quick!

it's that time of year again where leff and i jet off to the uk! wanna' meet up with us when we're in london? drop by the islington waterstones on tues, march 13 a bit before 6pm for james bowen and his tube cat bob's book signing! you know i'm not going to miss that, right?

we'll more than likely be heading to a pub afterward. you know, like we do.

i'll be the tall american woman with the bad case of jet lag. who will you be?? hope to see you there!

catching up on the last two weeks

this past week. for serious.

despite some local weirdness, it was actually quite spectacular mainly due to this INCREDIBLE BAG (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

and EQUALLY STUPENDOUS COLLAGE that crystal sent my way.

i still can't even wrap my head around how amazing both of those things are! and how wonderfully amazing crystal is!!  all the thanks the world are not enough but i will try! THAAAANK YOUUUUⁿ , CRYSTAL!!!

nowhere near as incredible is this stack o'books that i'm working my way through before rhys gets here next week.

let me repeat that...RHYS GETS HERE NEXT WEEK!!!! AAAAAAH!!!

but now let's bring this back down to earth. strawberries

and a laundry monster.

oh, and a dash of work. excheckered

and zip + four.

reminder: zip + four ends this week.

back next monday

too much work to do to type. apologies.

work, work, work

i really don't do much but work these days. fuji keeps trying to distract me

but it's usually to no avail.

that's because it's hard being a snark star.

ok, not really. but i am good at it.

so this work was mainly for excheckered

and zip + four.

i'm sure you could have figured that out on your own but a redirect is always nice, non?

this upcoming week promises more work, more planning and possibly some reading for enjoyment. HAhaha. right. let's not bet on that last part.

not bad, not bad

this week i was a bit starry eyed.

no reason really. but it was better than being star struck.

other than that, things were a bit slow. a lot of salad was eaten, um, by me.

i also made moo goo gai pan. yeah, without bok choy or *shudder* baby corn.

and i drank alcoholic fizzy pink drink.

i'm telling you, not much is better than being tipsy in the afternoon while you're painting.

work on the house continues. clouseau seems to find things to be comfortable.

i started the month of mail challenge. here's the first postcard that i sent.

you can see what i wrote and/or included at zip + four.

another place to redirect?  why excheckered, of course.

time to get started on super serious trip planning! we'll be in europe in a little less than a month! (i hope that winter is over by then!)
