This picture looks better small.
Smaller picture = smaller gum line exposure.

Joy of Love: Day 14
Assignment: Jewelry
We don't splurge on our kids very often.
We don't have the money
and we don't want spoiled brats on our hands.
But when it came time for Ruby to pick out her medical ID bracelet,
the sky was the limit.
It's Time For Me to Start Drawing Again
I've lost my edge. I think I might start trying to sketch daily again. Maybe I'll post some if I do. I'm really inspired by the images I see on The Satorialist. I'll probably be drawing from his photos. You'll notice I used the words "might" and "maybe" and"probably." Let me add a "we'll see" to that list. We'll see.
Pilot Caps, Holla!
Look at Victoria Beckham's line this year at Fashion Week.
What was the common thread?
Pilot caps.
My Etsy shop is so fashion forward.

Happy Balentimes
We celebrated today since Go is on call tomorrow.
First I'd like to address something I have heard repeatedly from all kinds of random sources, which is that men like to receive bouquets of flowers from women for Valentine's Day. Whaaah? Imagine me with a thick Olde English accent, wearing a powdered wig and sticking my feathered pen up in the air, saying "Nay! That is but a falsehood!"
Men like good food. So every VDay I try to make a special dinner. This year's was pretty good.
The recipes:
Though if I ever did get Go a bouquet of flowers for Valentine's, the flowers would be made of cheese.
Joy of Love: Day 13
Assignment: Routine
Go, at the computer studying,
which is where he usually is
for a good part of each week day night
and throughout the day when he has the weekends off.
Oh, the horrors to be found on that screen.
I say that half-heartedly.
Our family is actually totally used to the blood and guts.

It's Healthy to Treat Seasonal Depression with Food, Right?
Hey, better fat than sad.
I had a friend over for lunch. Today's remedy for the winter blues:
-Barefoot Contessa's French Lentil & Vegetable Soup.
-A salad made with arugala, oranges, almonds, crumbled bacon and a choice of cheese. She added little mozzarella balls to hers because she is with child and I added feta to mine because I am not.
-I was planning on having sprouted wheat bread paninis with havarti cheese, pesto and tomato but the soup and salad was filling enough and I was running behind, so I passed on making the paninis, which was fine because those calories were spent on the dessert.
-For dessert: Nigella Lawson's Choco-Hoto-Pots.
Ina and Nigella never let me down.
Note to self: the combination of a tasty lunch, a good convo and BodyPump in the morning works like a charm. Today was good.

Joy of Love: Day 8
Assignment: Gift from the heart.
Last winter, Go bought me this beautiful black wool coat,
hoping it would help assuage my hatred for the cold and dark winter.
He so gets me.
My favorite part: its upturned collar.

Joy of Love: Day 6
The assignment was really "who they love"
but I changed it to "what they love,"
(and if later on there's an assignment for "what they love",
I'll change it to "who they love" because I'm a maverick.)
This is a "Bunjee,"
which is an Aidan and Anais swaddling blanket,
which are the best things ever
and I'm so glad I uncharacteristically splurged on them.
She loves her Bunjees.
And I mean looooooves.
