i opened one of my drawers while cleaning out some things this afternoon, and the tiny pink bunny was staring up at me.
it was in lucy's easter basket, but i had to put it away because it terrified her.

im not sure where this came from.
i am sure that it smells bad, and montey hung it on my cabinet.
and that lucy has a miniature version of the same thing.

ive been doing some late spring cleaning this week.
i came across this little locket that my parents gave me when i was born and decided it was time i wear it.
im going to put lucys little tiny face in it. and i guess leave it to her when i die? thats probably weird.
i just think its a special little necklace.

lucy got new shoes! i kind of cheated...and put two images together and called them one.
BUT. they're both cute. the funny thing is...i was going to buy her pink converse but i acted out of character and went with the pumas instead.
the very next day..my oldest friend, haydee [we met in 5th grade, bonded over alanis morissette and havent missed a beat since.], brought me some of her nieces old clothes. in the bag were those pink converse! the right size and everything. funny how things work out sometimes!

something that makes my day, is when i see people breaking stereotypes. or my stereotypes, at least. reminding me that there are exceptions to the so called rules.
while at a stop light on my way home from work, i saw a little girl...probably 3rd grade...being walked home by what i assume was her big brother..probably 16 or 17. he had on baggy jeans...the kind that required him to stand and walk with his legs more than shoulder length apart or they would end up around his ankles..an oversized, flat billed baseball cap, backwards...chains...you get the picture.
either way..not only was he walking her home. he was carrying, on his shoulder, her tiny, brightly colored backpack, covered in flowers and looking at her drawings from the day. giving her high fives, laughing with her, running with her..completely engaged and interested in her. as if picking her up and walking her home were not something to check off his list, but something he actually wanted to be doing.
maybe its just me, and maybe im just showing my true, ugly colors and being judgemental. but. if im honest. the more 'normal' picture in my head for that scenario..something i probably wouldnt have even thought twice about, was if he was texting or on the phone, just getting her home. not even really paying attention to her. aside from what he was wearing...hes a 16 year old taking his little sister home from school. how interesting could that be for him? from what i saw, very interesting.
i didnt want to be a creeper so i just came home and took a picture of my backpack to remember him carrying hers.

i felt like two of my co-workers would need a little monday morning perk so i made them these cards.
j and i are obsessed with gossip girl [shes mostly about chuck bass] so i figured his smiling duck face would make her morning.
and i wasnt sure who shelley would like to see paperclipped to her cube so i just went with the prettiest second google search for "hot guy" the first..was NSFW. who knew such an open ended search would land you in images like that? lesson learned.
PS. i did that search at home. for people i work with that read my blog :]

i am positive you are never prepared for the first time you see your baby to be the last. and there certainly are not words that will make you feel better.
i made this card for my friend who lost her little baby boy today. i think..if someone cant be there with me to hug me..all i would want to hear is i love you.

this is on lucys dresser directly opposite her bed so she can make a wish every morning!
i have to tell her to, of course...she cant read. and...im pretty sure shes not aware of what a wish is. but. one day she will. and every morning we will make wishes.
