Friday in pictures

So today I got two packages! One was from Roxanne; she sent me a beautiful crocheted hat and scarf.

The other was from an author who wrote a book I put on my wish list. She sent me the book! It's about a psychic who finds herself accidentally engaged.

I also went to Old Navy and bought a bunch of light, springy clothes and a bathing suit so I can feel nice and floaty in Miami. Here's a dress and one of the shirts:

Yay! It looks so good on you. :) I was worried about the size, but I guess it worked just fine. Aren't they the softest hat and scarf ever? I'll have to post a pic of Jesse so you can see your twin. :)

I love your springy clothes. I guess you won't have to bother packing your new fave hat. ;)

Have a great trip!

An interesting mix of summer and winter. I think everyone is kind of over winter right now. Myself included. And that's quite a pink theme you have going!

Ah, there you are :) So nice to see you properly.

The hat is so cute (and I agree with Kitkat, there is quite a lot of pink going on at the moment... very spring-like)

Have a lovely weekend.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
