Newly added: Current Reading List

Because having a blog wasn't already narcissistic enough, I've added my "current reading" list to the sidebar, retroactive back to October.

Now you too can follow along and watch as I start and fail to finish books!

20 WEEKS: HALF WAY!

That is one sweet lil melon :)

WEEK 19: Such is Mango!

Our sweetie baby is getting tropical this week, we'll be 5 months as of Sunday!!!

And how was YOUR weekend?

YES, that IS a skull-shaped wasps nest on the back of that freaky doll's head.

We spent the weekend at my parent's old house packing up the remaining childhood stuff. This doll did not make the cut, we left her next to some rusty nails on the cutting block -- so now she is spooky mountain people's performance art.

We are going to frame this photo and try to sell it on Second Saturday.
