We Missed Our...

300th post! Boo! Oh well, Happy 301! And away we go... I (P) just got back from 13 hours of work for CASA. I had court at 8:30, but first one attorney, and then the other, were not available, so the case was continued (delayed) to 1:30, then 2:00, then 3:00... by 4:00, the judge was off to one of her friends' funeral (see this - these were really good guys, by the way, who did a lot for the community) and I had some info I wanted to gather at one of my families' houses. Because Enquiring minds want to know, here's what I wore (loves me some Banana Republic!) - the top has a tie that you can't really see:

In other, more exciting, news, after waiting for over a year to get our bonnet stripes for Otto, here are the before and after photos!

If you are ever in the market for any kind of vinyl work, you must get thee to Eric Neumann at Global Imports MINI in Atlanta. Not only did he do some amazing custom work, but he charged significantly less than he was going to originally, just so I could use exactly the amount of my gift certificate and not a cent more. He wouldn't even let me add a tip. Every time we go there, they always find somehow to do something extra or surprise us in some way that leaves us amazed (in a good way). Oh, and he gave G a toy car - a MINI Cabrio, of course - to keep.

By special request, for Bunnut, here is the Chipster running around before class last week in his gi:

Gi Whiz!

G got his new gi last week and got to wear it to karate class today: In other news, we've applied for a preschool. We decided to go with Saint Catherine of Siena, because they seem to have a few more "specials" and more outside time. It was a tough decision, but the more we talked about it, the more we heard ourselves leaning in that direction.

My First Completely Original Creation

Here's my first ever crochet design. It's really the second, but the first was a gift bag, so I don't really count that. It's a bag for my yoga mat. Please to enjoy.

Need A Dentist Recommendation?

Try mine. I got to go to "Mommy's little happy place" (TM) today for my semi-annual exam. I guess Theraflu is not meant to be mixed with the gas, because I hallucinated before passing out. I woke up with clean teeth and not a care in the world. Ahhhh. I love the dentist.

More Snow!

This just goes to show how useful a moving blanket and a garbage bag can be:



Everywhere we went in northwest Georgia today, there were snowmen and families throwing snowballs. There were only a couple of inches, but it was enough for a lot of fun. This is a special treat for us, because it isn't very common for snow to stick down here in the South.



We can't figure out why, but you might need to turn your head to see this one. Doesn't our snowman look like the Grinch?
