Good Stuff

Here is the sweetest blog that Si showed me. This mom must have a LOT of time on her hands. My favorite is "Bookworm." Nothing better than a baby asleep. Well, smelling a baby's neck while they're asleep or kissing their closed eyes while they're asleep is probably better. Maybe having their little hands wrapped around your neck or tucked in under your shirt while asleep is better. Maybe seeing them look at you as they wake up and smile like you are the greatest thing they could have possibly seen is better.

Here is a cool blog that Melinda showed me. Turquoise. Love it. Can't get enough of it. I don't know how to incorporate this freshness into my house, especially since a-I am currently leasing and b-most of my furniture is red, yellow, browns. Loved the furniture colors for the last 5 years or so, but now it is sooo not "beachy So. Cal" feeling if you know what I mean. It's sooo "autumn leaves in Utah." It looked really good during the fall in Utah, but I'm not feeling it as much here.

Here is my favorite room in the house...so turquoise, so fresh.

Spencer comes home tonight! I know, I know, it's only been 3 weeks. I didn't want him to, but he is driving home with 4 kids and they are staying the weekend and driving back. Crazy. Don't tell him, though, that I'm really excited to see him all the same.

I have to make 2 things today! I just did not have time yesterday to make anything, because I was frantically reading my book until book group. I've made them both many times. Both great. Both satisfying. Both extremely and utterly rewarding (not to be confused with udderly rewarding. That wouldn't be very rewarding, except if you were a farmer and your livelihood depended on milk production. Also, maybe if you were a young kid and you got to try and milk a cow for the first time. Other than that, utterly rewarding is probably best.)
