I would love to just, like, get comments without actually writing a post today. I just don’t really feel like writing. I’ve spent the bulk of the night doing administrative stuff for Kids Deserve Art, and I seem to have used up the day’s quota of energy. And, I had, oh, about ZERO energy today. Oh! Hold on just a sec: watching MTV and the new Katy Perry song is on. Must go jump up and down with one hand up….
Whew! That was awesome. As I was saying, I LOVE your comments. Every last one of them. They’re a total pick-me-up. I would love to be able to get around to my fellow bloggers blogs to SHARE THE LOVE and give them the pick-me-up that I cherish. I’m working on that….
Anyway, today’s isn’t much of a post. I was feeling pretty good all day today. Went for a walk, talked to the pastor at a nearby church about the possibility of starting up a yoga program for people with anxiety/depression, and I had a loverly visit with my beloved friend ERNA (who lives in Bermuda). But, then, mid-afternoon, I started to get freezing, sniffly, exhausted and cough-y. And, here I am now feeling even worse.
BUT, still, I have to give you something…. It feels good to give. Here are a few gifties:
1. MINDEN AND MY RE-ENACTMENT OF KLIMT’S THE KISS (from when I was feeling particularly chipper and well today…):

Pretty good, right? Here’s the orij:

Love….
2. Better picture of Minden and me (to make all you MINDEN FANS jealeoso! Heh)….

Look how he LOVES his Mama! Can you HANDLE it? I can’t…
3. I have to make a rule about NO TOYS AT THE TABLE. I really REALLY do:

It really is amazing what a 3-year-old imagination can do with a toy pizza cutter, some plastic feet and a egg cup from her tea set….
4. Deep thought: you know Karma? The concept that “what goes around comes around”? (There’s much more to it, but that will do.) Well, apparently, positive exchanges with your spouse/friends/parents have a GOOD karmic effect. Every little act counts. So, up your karma quotient by being nice to others even in CONVERSATION, and your life will be better for it!
5. Are you the type of person who a) TELLS people they have food on their face? or b) DOES NOT TELL people they have food on their face?
What would YOU do if your friend had THIS on his/her face….

Would ya tell her/him?
Apparently, I WOULDN’T tell him. No. I’d just sit their laughing and taking pictures…. But, of course, Gorgeouses, I would tell YOU if you had lettuce on your face.
LOVE!

Hmmm, yeah I’d probably tell them. Unless of course I could sneak a picture for my blog…! (I think Andrew’s on to me about my blog posting…I showed him a video of the horses I took and he goes “You’re going to post that on your blog aren’t you?”) Anyways, sorry you’re not feeling great, hopefully you’re better tomorrow!

He might be happier at my house. Hhhhmmm.

I totally hear you about the comments. As much as people will say that they blog for themselves, if that were really true, they would keep a diary, not a blog. Comments are nice, even if they’re from people you know are always reading (but don’t necessarily have anything to add, like, say, when you write about yoga).
Also: I would use a silicone spatula like a “face squigee” when encountering that much avocado on one face.

Love the Thomas overalls! What is it with little boys and trains? I had a low energy day today, too. Today is better so far. But more coffee will help!

Ha ha ha Minden is such a great cat! seriously! I’m in looooove!!! Again, I love the pictures! Your kids will be like, so (happy?) (shocked??) (confused???) when they’re older and see all those pictures of them with food on their face, or throwing tantrums! I wish I had such pictures of myself, haha!!
Kat said, October 28th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
I ALWAYS tell if someone has something in their teeth, etc. I get so pissed when my hubby doesn’t tell me. Grrr.

I am only in it for the comments. And the MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!
Mostly just the comments, though. And I always tell my friends – quietly – when they have something gross and fixable happening.

Have you ever heard of ETSY?…if not…get on it…you’d love it. In fact, I think you might contemplate selling your lovely art there…the site is http://www.etsy.com/ . Have fun, and enjoy the hours you will get sucked into this amazing crafty sphere.

All I can think of when seeing the second picture of Minden is “I can has milk?”

I like Katy Perry! I’ve got a few of her tunes on my ipod.
Great pix of you and Minden! The second one is too cute!
I do believe in karma … what comes around does go around.
Depending on who has the food on their face, I’ll tell them. But like you, I’d take lots of pix first. Ha! We’re evil!
