cute face, poop face

a few of my favorite faces:

stubborn "i'm asleep, leave me alone" face




i love my daddy face

smiley face

poop face - proceed with caution!

coveting? okay, maybe a little...

so i've been shopping for a fabulous wool coat... the one i have is quite old, and let's just say it doesn't quite house the old girls the way it needs to anymore. ah, the sacrifices we make for motherhood - shopping! darn.



why is it that my favorite favorite coat happens to cost about 5 times what we can afford? but i have to keep a picture just so i can remember how cute it is! i think i'd give my left arm for it (not my right, of course, that arm is too useful).

there is a debate going about whether i could even pull this style off, to which i say duh, of course i could. i guess i'll have to "settle" for the uber-cute red twill coat from vicki's.

a yugoogly for nessie

oh, dear nessie...

struck down in your silvery years, drug off unceremoniously to meet your doomiest doom in the junk yard! if only your enemy had not been on his teeny tiny cell phone, you might not have been smashed to tiny bits. but you were, and we were sad, so we went home to watch some espin, looking for a little light football, but only demolition derby was on...and it only made me sadderer!

how i miss your quality leather-plush interior...how i feel cut off from the rosy sun without a window to the stars! how music will never be the same without your premium sound system, even if the cd player had broked, nor will my body temperature without your climate control system and duel airbags.

you carried me from hither to thither without much further ado. but alas, i am left only with fred's dump, barely wobbling to and fro in its final throes.


oh for the daiye when again, i will meet you in our happy heaven above! i know you were a little bulimic, but at least reading minds can come in handy in a paradise full of strange people.

until we meet again!

baby's first... accident???

oh my!

so, we were on our way home from a party last weekend, late, a bit tired, baby rather cranky, and suddenly out of nowhere, shabam! ok, it was more like "clunk slide clunk bump squash" or something... apparently, some kid on his cell phone didn't notice fred slowing down, and managed to swerve just enough to side-swipe us all the way down the side of my car.

good news, we were all fine, and the baby was already crying, so i don't think she even noticed.

bad news, since my car was so old to begin with, it's totalled! unbelievable. an appropriate eulogy will be presented forthwith, and we'll be having a "nessie wake," details to follow.

good news, i made such a good deal when i bought the car some 5 years ago, they're actually giving us $400 more for the car than i paid for it to begin with (i'm such a good bargainer, just ask sergio). don't tell the ins. company.

bad news, i don't know if you've checked recently, but $4700 still doesn't get much of a car. so, we're probably stuck with having only one car, fred's very old, very beat-up, very smelly, very dirty, very difficult to drive chevy blazer. dang i hate that thing (sorry fred), but i guess we'll have to deal :(

good news, the ins. company had us replace her car seat, which only comes in a set, so we now have 2 strollers!

bad news, did i mention we only have one car now? and it's me who'll be stuck at home! BOO!

good news, we're coming down the home stretch with school, so by next fall we'll be able to afford a much nicer car, and i get dibs!

more good news, our rental is a buick enclave... can you say luxury SUV? we're taking a road trip to park city tomorrow just to bask in its glory.

ok, that was 2 more goods than bads, so i guess things will probably work out somehow... poor, poor nessie.
