It’s Easter weekend and we didn’t even see any snow! Just super cousins, grandparents, daffodils, Cadbury mini eggs, chocolate…
And Cael is off and running…
Grampa Randy and Gramma Sharlene played host and hostess with the most and mostest…
And even though our weeping cherry tree has yet to burst into brilliant blossoms (starting to get a little nervous that this is not to be), Goff kids struck the traditional post-Church Easter pose in Easter frocks in front of it-the end…
It is so March, which happens to be one of my most favorite times of the year for a whole host of reasons, yes—whole host!! It is the month of birth of this girl (my sunglass-ed favorite sister, Kari, on the left next to my non-sunglass-ed favorite mom on the right)…
and it is also the month with a holiday that celebrates the sensational color of green!! (“Bertha Waterbury?Sensational girl!” Do you know that movie? If you do, you are probably one of the lovely ladies in photo #1. I think I should start using the word “sensational” more in my day-to-day chit-chat…)
I am feeling lucky that I have a nice neighbor and friend named Char that has a sensational blog
and is hosting a giveaway of some of my “Lucky” burlap pillow patterns!
You can enter (and be dazzled and amazed at the magical things this lovely lady does—was your kid a slurpee for Halloween? I was 0 for 5 in the slurpee costume category, but one of my girls was a nerd and not the candy kind) over at her blog.
Irish eyes could be smiling at you (in my case, they actually would be Danish/Swedish eyes and they would still be smiling)!!
Hmm, so many exciting things (?) have happened over the last few months, where to even begin…
“I want some oatmeal. That means I’m hungry and I need more food.” -Cael, on what he needs in life (plus, his favorite food is eggs and his favorite treat is suckers—all part of the mystique of Cael)…
T-Mobile bill that arrived in January= really not so good… (according to the people that pay the bill)
(**While the photo is not crystal clear, the magic sum of $2, 414 in the “amount owed” section left a little something to be desired. Fortunately, the nice lady at T-Mobile was able to adjust the texting fees to what we thought they were supposed to be—which was significantly less than $2,414…)
So I’m at work the other night, behind the fabric-cutting counter, when a lady I do not recognize walks in:
Lady (turning and looking at me): “Oh! You’ve grown!”
Me (a little taken aback, not sure where she’s going with this commentary, my right hand near my left shoulder): “Ahh, oh my hair has grown a little bit?” (as I touch my brown tresses that really have grown)
Lady: “I am NOT talking about your hair!! The shop has grown--it used to be smaller but it is a lot bigger now!”
Me (feeling slightly sheepish): “Oh, the shop IS bigger now, that’s true.” (And I really hope I’m not…)
Lady (a few minutes later after looking around a bit and coming back to the fabric counter): “I couldn’t care LESS about your hair.”
Good to know…
There are many, many things in this world that I absolutely adore. These little goofy boys are definitely among those things. This giant “honey bun pouf” (from a fantastic new Amy Butler pattern) is most certainly another…
So, if you find a hot deal on a really great green striped shirt at Old Navy, and your newly-brunette buddy also finds a really great green striped shirt on the clearance rack at Old Navy, what are the odds of you both showing up at the very same place at the very same same time wearing the very same thing?
The odds are actually very fantastic!! And if you hurry on over to the Old Navy clearance rack and you have dark hair and big sunglasses and if you were wondering what you would like if you bought this super shirt for yourself, now you know. You’re welcome…
