wednesday's amble through the ramble

so after making my first ever successful photo book yesterday i was filled with lofty ideas and set about making a SECOND book and a THIRD book... etc etc. big mistake. HUUUUUGE. i spent the entire rest of the day watching the dots spin endlessly in a circle while dying to pee/eat/put on warmer clothes and STILL no book to show at the end of it. thanks for NOTHING, Sam Walton!!!!!!!! (but hey, my first book already shipped, so thank YOU Sam Walton :)

took Danny to the park today. i never talk to anyone, i hide behind my camera and dark glasses and pretend to be invisible so i don't have to talk to moms of Tanners and Shelbys about gymboree and the merits of the canon sureshot. anyway while Danny was begging me to pwwwwweease poop an egg in the dinosaur nest(sandbox), a kindly grandma asked if he was four (because poop and dinosaurs are a very four year old thing to like:) turned out she was from the Cape area and we chatted for hours on end about sand dunes and white houses with weathered shingles against very green grass... about my moving there and leaving vacuous Orange County behind, about how the stars shine brighter against the deep velvet sky over the Cape and how you can spin in circles and feel the space and atmosphere around you. siiiiighhhh... i swear she was an angel sending me a message.

must start work on Danny's birthday cake - he wants a cake in the shape of a dinosaur. i guess i have been asking too many questions lately about it because apparently i am 'bweaking' his heart asking whether the cake should resemble a predator or plant eater.

britney is touring!!!! but i am not going.... god love her, but i only endure $25 parking, getting wanded and frisked, and sitting next to obnoxious drunken women with tattoos and pierced faces for gay icons the likes of George Michael/Barry Manilow. and she is soooooo NOT there yet...


random pics:
Sam is a genius. he changed his 'happy thanksgiving' sign to read 'happy christmas' by turning the G upside down and making the N and I look like a M... sigh, how i love him!!! oh and no news is good news you know :)

the mitten advent calendar (far away enough that you can't see that 23-25 are missing :) the electrolux broom thingie is a broken down piece of junk, i don't recommend it

the magical Obama bracelet, Danny found it on election night and insisted i wear it. now i cannot take it off since it clearly has magical powers:)
