ACL Love

I know that ACL means something to so many people.  Great music...fun crowds...sunkissed bliss.

Know what it means to me?

I get to hang out in my house with the windows open and listen to the jams.  I get to make about a million cookies for my kid to sell in our front yard as all the festival goers walk by (he and a friend are raising money for an upcoming school trip to Costa Rica).  I get to paint and write to my heart's delight and enjoy it all...from the comfort of my own home. 

I love ACL!

Giving Rocks!

Earlier this month I committed to create something special for a number of people who in return also committed to create something special for a number of people...and on, and on.

Today I worked on three of my special somethings.  And it was so awesome!  I think it is the coolest thing that creating something purely as a gift is not only a pleasure, it is fun and easy.  The art just flowed.  It pretty much just jumped onto the canvas.

Continued mind, body, soul confirmation that giving rocks.

Toilet Lid Up or Down?

Our kitten loves the toilet.  By "love" I mean that he grooves on it as a source of water, he plays with it with his paws, and he occasionally slips all the way in and takes a very brief bath.  Very.  He's seriously convinced that it was placed there just for him.  It's disgusting.

Now we humans in the house have a new rule as a result of all this.  Always flush the toilet.  Always put the lid down.  These rules, as the only female human in the house, make me very, very happy.

While we've proven ourselves to be fairly abiding of the flush rule, there's definitely some failures on the lid down rule.

So this scene happens...a lot...and not just to me.


• Go in to the bathroom.
• Sit on toilet.
• Do business.
• Stand up.
• And only then realize that the seat was wet.


What is it about standing that activates our moisture sensor while sitting does not?

continued...
• We remember to put the seat down.

Eleven Scariest Words Ever!

I went to bed last night, snuggled under the covers, my little guy came in to give me a hug...which somehow very much resembled a wrestling hold but I chose to love it anyway...and once alone I drifted off.  Almost, anyway.


Dave:  "Hey, Kal...the kitten has a cockroach.  Don't let him on the bed."

Me:  "WHAT?!?!?!"


Worst sweet nothings said to me at bedtime.  Ever.
