The latest

Remember when every blog post I wrote had a unifying topic with an interesting lead sentence and several supporting anecdotes? Those days are over. Right now, all of my brain power is focused on keeping the crazy inside. I am a woman on the edge, y'all. My baby is THIS CLOSE and, yet, I have no actual idea when she is coming home. I am exhausted, moody and anxious - above all anxious. From here until I-don't-know-when, blog posts will consist of random nuggets of information and photos taken with my new, awesome camera. Even italicizing and shrinking the size of my photo captions seems overwhelming. So you'll just have to deal with regular font for the time being.

Random nugget #1: We started remodeling the kitchen.


Bye-bye ugly tile.


Hello, gorgeous drywall.


PC did not believe I could fit that piece of Sheetrock in the trash. I did!

Random nugget 2: We harvested and ate the first watermelon. It was perfect - watery and melony, just like we meant to do it that way.


Here PC is demonstrating how the watermelon is larger than his head.

Random nugget 3: Bear is finally trying to earn his keep. He said he would pay the bills if we taught him how to read and write.


Whatever, he is just trying to get our attention by eating important papers.

Random nugget 4: I am practicing my photography skills with the new camera. Here are beautiful things from all over the house. As you can see, we have a thing for Haiti stuff, purses and Virgin Marys.


Computer. Coffee.


I tried to take a picture of this awesome cross stitch with the old camera, but it didn't look this good.


Close up of Vivine's quilt


Fridge. Lots of Haiti stuff.


Beer box. Diploma cover. Knitting.


Plant. Little statue. Cowboy hat. Yee haw!


More Haiti stuff.


Chair. Stool. Mary. Knick knacks.


Guitar. Lazy Dog.


Fancy dishes.


Morning me.


Piano. Crosses. Books. Dog food. Purses.


Door. Window. Bureau. More Marys. More Haiti stuff. More purses.


Fake flowers. Haiti painting. "Repurposed" patio furniture. (Now it's a sectional!)
