Pretty good.


The character of Joey Miller will now be played by actor Larry David.


Work has taken over my life really. If I'm not working, I'm sleeping. The days are kind of blending together in a mesh called my life.

I seek solace in reading and music. The people in this house (both those who live here and those who are here all the time) have been keeping me sane and happy. Not very sober though.

It's midterm break now. Are you home?

Run, neon tiger, there's a lot on your mind.

This was a unique Valentine's Day all together. Some people despise the holiday, but I have always remained indifferent. The moment I stepped out of bed I was reminded that I am living an entirely new life this year.

My brain has been working in overdrive mode so much lately I almost forgot that my roommates (and the two boys who sleep here every night) are a gift in themselves.

Sentimental much.

I just wanted to share a few pictures from our Saturday morning communal breakfast (which is hosted every Saturday morning around one, if you care to stop by). Twas made even more special by the holiday.

Love you.

People will say all kinds of things.

Dearest friends how I've enjoyed your company this weekend!

Last weekend was such a bust (slept it away and away) so this weekend I made a point to invite everyone to the Merrymeeting residence.

Robyn and I have done so many craft nights together and decided to hold a special one Friday for the opening of our true love, Red Velvet Art. This was the first craft night open to the public and it was a smashing success!

I have been so creative lately that it is almost painful to watch the accumulation of STUFF happening in my room. Merrymeeting scrapbook is going strong. Knitting occurs frequently. Drawing in my HI book and Robyn's pretty pink book happens almost every night. And now I've taken it upon myself to start The Sew again.

The Sew is when I crack out the sewing machine (circa Christmas 2000), buy some fantastic fabric from the $1.97 bin at Wal-Mart, and decide upon a garment (or bedding!) that needs to be made.

I have taken it upon myself this time to fashion two skirts (one for Sierra and I) out of $16 in fabric. CAN I DO IT? Probably not, but it is always fun to try. Plus I'd like to try this and this pattern.

I have just a couple hours of awake time left before I am forced to sleep and then start the week again. But I am armed for the onslaught of tiny fists: heart-shaped suckers and Kinder Eggs. Best nanny EVER.

See you all again next weekend, okay?

Toopy and Binoo.


I have one class a week and I skipped it tonight.

And you might judge me, or be jealous. But if you knew the day I had you would rejoice in my opting for bath and three episodes of Kenny vs. Spenny.

For the record, a child's head is indeed as hard as a rock. My bloodied nose proved this fact when I was headbutted by a two year old.

And after picking up the "confetti" 100 piece puzzle set three times, I accepted in my heart that only 97 pieces would have to suffice.

Not to mention my even earlier mornings (apparently there is life before my usual 6:40am) since Mr. Snowplow Man decided to take a personal vendetta out on my parking nook. FOUR MAJOR SHOVELS IN 48 HOURS, NO WAY HOSEA.

The bath has made me calmer.
