niya

nomi is an older sister now. her name is niya (rhymes with mia). she's so little and weighs about 5 lbs, what a little lump of joy! while i was oogling at the baby, the monkeys were jumping on the bed.

fall hibernation

i have been so sleepy lately and on top of that i've been eating 9 meals a day! mark mentioned that all he wants to do is eat sweets. i think we're going to hibernate.

crush

ziggy has a major crush on karen. it's cute.

my perm

it is the strangest feeling trying to take photos of yourself! ugh gumbi lips! anyway, this is what my perm looks like. yoko ono-ish. i think it'll look the best in a couple months when my hair is a little longer and the perm fades a little.

crying bear

i finished making ziggy's halloween costume yesterday. since we're going to be in new mexico, i decided to make him a warrior chief costume. he goes by the name crying bear. not too sure if he likes it though.

more granny time

grandma's been taking more time off of work lately and it's been so awesome! ziggy loves spending time with granny and so do i! sometimes, she torments him like the time when she kept trying to stick clay on his face. he didn't really like that very much. yesterday we went to the florida market, a wholesale shopping haven. this is where i found my favorite black mickey shirt ten years ago. i tried to look for more 80's treasures but all i saw was a black popeye shirt that said "i'm a hustler" it was too ugly to buy. i did get tie dyed black legging tights, can't wait to wear them!

ebay

i'm selling my yellow coat on ebay. shana gave ziggy those goggles and he enjoys them. he also enjoys his wooden sword, a hippie lady commented on his weapon today.

awesome homes

we went to the solar decathlon and it was really cool. some of the homes generated so much power that they actually gave back to the grid! unfortunately we weren't able to go inside every home. there was one in particular that i would like to have as my next home designed by the university of arizona, the one with the funky olive curtains. the shiny black square home from germany won first place.

one sock

he was being so sweet and cute this day. now if only he'd stop waking up at 4 am for a you tube party.

contacts

i love 2/3 of shana's glasses but sometimes i think she would look good with contacts.

style

i feel drab so i'm going to start dressing cooler. i see a lot of black in my future. alice glass and taylor are my fashion favorites at the moment. oh yeah and i got a perm yesterday. there will be a picture of it one of these days.
and i bought this awesome bracelet. love it!

found

i found this old cookbook in my mom's bookshelf. i remember making the hamburger faces for dinner once. this book makes me laugh.

hey

favorite words of the moment: man and no
song of the day is this. he sang it all day, so cute.

smith lake mountain

brynne and nick invited everyone to hang out for a long weekend at smith lake mountain, va. the house they rented was right on the lake. it was the quaintest little town with the friendliest people. we did a lot of fishing, boating and eating.
