I saw this post and it got me thinking as to what I actually do with my time. Readers might notice a certain trend...
- provided icy washclothes to teething baby.
- made pumpkin muffins (from Vegan with a Vengeance - wonderful!)
- baby turned 11 months yesterday. Crazy how quickly time goes by.
- nibbled by baby. repeat icy washclothes.
- crawled all over house with baby, particularly to places baby is not supposed to go. Repeatedly.
- looked into baby gates.
- applied for jobs. Anybody need a researcher?
- more icy washclothes.
- reading "Solitaire Mystery" by Jostein Gaarder. Have actually read this book about five times. I love it.
- watched Blades of Glory.
- walked with baby out in community garden. Felt the trees and flowers. Close encounter with bee.
- more icy washclothes.
- swam at night. my favourite time for swimming.
- and today, in celebration of the first week of September, I will go get a bubble drink. Lychee. Yumm.
Happy First Week everyone!

i just recently found your blog - and your etsy site, you make beautiful things, so i couldn't resist the contest...
*bowling with my visiting brothers
*picnic in the park with a group of 2-3 year-olds and their respective parents
*knitting a scarf for the red scarf project
*going out to dinner with friends and having their two-year-old son sing "oh my darling clementine" on the top of his lungs in a pretty fancy italian restaurant (too funny for words!) and then he gets a round of applause from two of the tables.
*taking my two-year old daughter fall coat shopping (much easier than a teenager, i'm sure) "i want the PINK one."
*watching the opening weekend of nfl football
*pulling tomatoes and copious amounts of yellow squash out of the garden - seriously, how can one family eat that much yellow squash?!?
It's nuts that teens are expected to be at school so early, despite it being common knowledge that they require more sleep than people in other stages of development. That said, you are a social butterfly and I'm glad I can look forward to that life at some point once again.
My list:
:: Unpacking
:: Embroidering orders for Bun Bun
:: Swimming with 22 month old son
:: Helping new friend thread sewing machine. Bobbin loader was nightmare.
:: Eating shrimp enchiladas with chipolte serrano cream sauce.
:: Taking peppermint pill to relieve immediate gas pains from cream sauce.
:: Buying amazing CD by Perla Battalia (Discoteca Batalia)
:: Affixing license plates to new car.
:: Buying new succulent plants for terrace.
:: Discovering Costco.
