a new obsession.

i did it.  i did the most lifechanging, extraordinary, magnificent thing so far in my adult life.  {okay, that may be an exaggeration.}  i joined pinterest.  and oh, the wonderful things i am doing, and exploring, and finding, and learning!  oh, i love it i do!  i'm obsessed i am.  it feels like all the opportunities and possibilities in the world are mine.  my potential is endless.  i can bake, cook, craft, design, and explore forever and ever. and ever. and ever. ever. and ever.  i think dr. seuss said it best:

"you have brains in your head.  you have feet in your shoes.  you can steer yourself in any direction you choose.  you're on your own.  and you know what you know.  and you are the one who'll decide where to go."

go here to see all the fun, and here to join in it.

under the weather.

we are living in a house of infectious disease, folks.  the past few days have been complete with infected eyes, lost voices, aching throats, coughing up a lung, nuchal rigidity, and runny noses.  gosh, we have a lot of runny noses around here. 

my formula for making your sickness woes go away:

diet coke + romantic novel + a fun sewing project + lots of ibuprophen = a less sore throat and plenty of distraction and solitary rest.  

the nice thing about a sore throat:  the perfect excuse to get your husband to take you out for ice cream.

happy thursday!
