  • I decided to paint Bj's office yesterday and today it is done! This kind of lickity split do good home reno thing has not been happening for me lately (see my many, MANY unfinished projects). But I did do it for a semi selfish reason, so I could move all my junk in! I need a place to stash my stuff while my room gets a make over. All though after scraping and sanding and panting and scrubbing floors I'm not looking forward to doing the den, so maybe I should have done mine first. Wait that wasn't the point of the post. This is:

    Problem-1 

    See this seemingly innocent finial sitting on this table?

    Problem-3 

    I lept out of Bj's hand from here (and nicked him along the way, he's not having the best luck on whenever he steps on things above about a foot; stools, ladders, they are all dangerous for him).

    Problem-2 

    It just went thunk (after Bj did this juggling move to make sure it wasn't going to hit his computer monitor) and we both stared at it. Then we started LAUGHING OUR ASSES OFF. Seriously I have not laughed that hard in a while. I would have never guessed: A. That this thing was so sharp and B. The table so thin. Bad combo.

    Obligatory cute baby experiencing first Christmas photos and stories still coming. This was just too funny not to share.

  • The clock just rolled over to midnight as I sit nursing tutu. Christmas eve was wonderful, visiting with so much wonderful family that I don’t get to see nearly enough. Now I just need Miss New Christmas Pjs to finish up so I can climb back into bed. I pulled off a Christmas surprise and in addition to Bj new flannel sheets await me. Bj has been wanting flannel sheets and I managed to buy (at an insanely low price, deals baby deals), wash, dry and make up the bed without Bj noticing today. Here’s hoping your holiday includes a little magic too ๐Ÿ™‚

    Also of note: the above photo was taken yesterday while Tuesday took a TWO HOUR nap. It was on my lap, but still!!!

    Merry Christmas
