im not the biggest fan of food photography..but this had to be my picture today.

its not often i get this sandwich.

its from a very girly cafe. we usually only go there if someone is having a baby. or returns to work after having a baby. anything you would see decorating your grandmas house, i guarantee this place has it too. they know how to make sandwiches though. thats for sure.

this one is called 'some like it hot'. i wont tell you the ingredients. that will only give you a foothold to place judgment on this delicious meal. just take my word for it...this sandwich is something you will think about for days.

brandons on a big bug kick.

his easter basket was FULL of them.

he was quite proud..so when my grandma came over he told her to come look at his bugs. her response was:

"oh. i dont like bugs. thank you though."


april 20, 2009

i get lots of presents at work.

not all of them things im excited about.

exhibit a: chewed up and spit out sunflower seed shells.



i couldnt very well get both pieces of this cup in one shot..but i had to show you the nice little drawing on the outside of it.

t-rex? dog? angry monkey? you decide.

i seem to have skipped the 11th and 12th. not entirely sure how that happend, but..my brain is quickly deteriorating so i cant say im suprised.

april 8, 2009

when bethany quit, she handed down to me her exercise ball. shes trying to start a tradition..as in..i give it to someone when i quit because she got it when someone else quit. but i dont know. ive been wanting one of these.

ive used it instead of my chair at work..and it really does work your abs. and you dont even know it!

little mouth has to have her kidney removed.

i like her dr though. he wrote everything out for me and even gave me his cell phone number.

brave. considering i could potentially call him RIGHT NOW.

that reminds me of friends. when rachel calls the pediatrician alllll the time. and he gets mad. so she taunts him.

april 2, 2009

and those? THOSE..are the boots.



april 1, 2009

oh that? thats just the buckle from the shoes i get to keep indefinitely in return for testing them out for the designer.

:]

march 31, 2009

i jumped the gun a little...but i bought these for lucy.

when she gets a boo-boo i want to be prepared!


march 30, 2009

i let lucy have some of my tea with her dinner.

[that green thing..is the shell of a pea.]

march 26, 2009

the switch from baby food...true baby food...was a tough one for little mouth.

BUT. i found something she likes this week!!!

so i stocked up.

march 25, 2009

brad and montey brought me this...surprise..one day after lunch.

im not sure how easy the photo will be to read when its on the blog...so ill give you the highlights of this treat.

•you make your own gummi ice cream

•the "ice cream" is so hard to squish..you have to hold it far away from you, squeeze with both thumbs and index fingers, and squint your eyes to even make a dent.

•there is technically chocolate sauce. however, its purple..and a $*!&# to get off your fingers. its similar to what you would call super glue.

•there are candy toppings that have unfortunately melted together. picture one of those window hangings you made as a child. you know..the ones that you cooked in the oven and the beads all melted together to make a collage of colors?

we paid brad a dollar to eat one i made...complete with chocolate sauce and sprinkes sticking out like crazy hair. that..creation..was going to be my picture for the day but he said he had to eat it RIGHT then or he would lose his confidence.

he ended up asking if he could spit out the ice cream part because it wasnt breaking down.


march 24, 2009

i still havent put this hook up anywhere..but i love it. and cant wait to.

maybe when i get a new apartment.


march 23, 2009

who else could make something so mundane as reaching for hand sanitizer so CUTE?!



march 21, 2009

i started this book about...hmm....6 months ago? and i still havent finished it.

i think its because i like the title much more than the plot.

march 20, 2009

when we went to austin for the poster show, we ate at a little bbq place.

they had this...lovely..little plant as our center piece.


march 19, 2009

this is where the chief gave derek a pretty powerful little lecture then told him he could come back from anything. it might have made me tear up a little.

greys gets me everytime.


march 18, 2009

these are how a lot of my job sheets came back for awhile.

clearly, montey wanted me to fix something.

so i did.

march 17, 2009

our department at work had a st pattys day bbq/cookout/whatever thing today.

montey came back with his hot sauce already divvy-ed up between the tostito's scoops. kind of genius. but still silly.

plus, i love hot dogs.


march 16, 2009

welcome back, old friend!

when i got my new phone in august, i was excited. for a little while. and then i started to miss my old one. the new one was perfectly fine...and i liked it. i just...missed the oldie.

my sister was in town this weekend and was telling me how terrible her phone was and really wasnt any help to her at all. it would only keep battery for maybe 2 minutes. barely long enough to make a call and definitely not long enough to have a conversation of any kind.

thats when my light bulb flashed! i gave her my new one and got my old one back! i couldnt be happier. and neither could she.


march 15, 2009

so...ive neglected the blog. really...neglected the blog. its past my bed time....so i can only post a few. im sorry though. for being such a slacker.

this..is lucys kitchen she got for her birthday. she L.O.V.E.S. it. she eats teddy grahams out of the sink, and lets her dolls play on the burners.

oh, and she answers the phone. only when honey bear calls.
