i am such a selfish bitch. i didn't even let the leon read to the big kid last night. instead, i waited until my dinner break at the coffee house to read to him. this is so much fun! i think i'm going to have to pick up something little guy appropriate like pippy longstockings, or the like.

today is pretty chill. we woke up. hung out at another coffee house with a lovely friend. came home. walked the dogs. took a wee nap. i had a nice warm bath (rubbed my feets with precious salves andeverythang). oh, and we broke out the boards and took a trip to the skateboard. somewhere inbetween those things the school misplaced my first grader for a half-hour, but i'm pretty much sticking my fingers in my ears and doing a lalala number pretending that didn't happen until i hear back from the principal.

seriously. how cute are they?

we have returned, and now i'm playing around on the computer looking for suitable birthday presents for myownself.

i do believe that i would like a grownup out to dinner with girlfriends event. i've never really done that. seems like a silly thing, but i'd like to spend the evening at a table full of festive women eating delicious food.

now, as for physical birthday presents, i'm vacillating between buying myself pretties...




or practicals...



or mebbie some pseudo-practicals...


a drop spindle class so that i can really learn to use this sucker.


this would make a great companion to the cookbooks i received for christmas.

i'm guessing that i'll end up with the camera. just a hunch. oh, and just an fyi, the day ended with tea and chocolate cake frosted with chocolate icing. i highly recommend this if you happen to have such a cake lying around. thank you birthday boy! a++
